Thanks, lovey! I can't believe how long ago I drew this, and I'm ashamed that I haven't done anything in ages, but am hoping that changes with my schedule in the new year.

It was actually a fellow Snape fan who has now become a dear friend of mine who introduced me to Beardsley, and I do tend to channel him somewhat in my art, although I am trying my hand now at some other styles of Victorian b&w illustrations, like Harry Clarke, Tenniel, etc. I think that perhaps there's something about these styles that lends itself to drawing Snape particularly: the stark contrasts of black and white, offset by some curvilinear stylistic details. I did, however, like the Art Nouveau/Deco style immensely even before then. Even my coffee table books are on Art Deco/Nouveau. I would love to be able to paint in lush colours in the manner of the Pre-Raphaelites, but I'm afraid I haven't the skills or talent for that! Dabbling a bit in watercolour in some of my WIPs, and finding that difficult enough!

Thanks very much! I wanted a recurring motif that echoed Lily's hair, and the symbolism of thistles also worked by a lucky happenstance.

I haven't seen what you are referring to, but that is a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much!

Thank you. But Snape's not a beast! I think he's quite beautiful too. Just in an... unusual way.

Yes, absolutely! The results of said contrasts are utterly beguiling.

It is very kind of you to feature 'Lacrimosa' on your dA page. Cheers once again.

Oh, I'm so pleased you like it. I have another Snily themed one in the works, but Lily is only implied, not featured.

I shall have to draw more of this pairing though. I don't read it very much, but I adore Snily fanart.
