This is gorgeous! I love watercolors.

Oh goodness I love this! Wes, Illyria and Fred were an amazing combination and this is an awesome idea. That would have been almost even angstier than what really happened... mmm. Now I want the fic for this! ;) Love the watercolors, his delightful Britishness still shining through, and the blue in the background. Great job!

Dear Mystery Artist. Wheee! Thank you! First, Brilliant idea! I love the concept: it makes such an intriguing AU.

Great likeness. I love his expression. It is subtle and full of emotion - there is fascination, there, and a touch of amusement maybe? His eyes are gorgeous. His glasses look really great, too (and I like the fact that Illyria has kept them. It adds an extra layer of mystery to the portrait, which I adore).

Your watercolour technique is lovely. The colours are really striking and I like the texture of his armour, and the sweeping paintbrush strokes of his hair.

Oh! This is excellent! I love the eyes very, very much, and the watercolour work of the clothes. And the whole concept is WIN. Nicely done!
