Description Made for favorite book scene contest - [link]

This is one of my favorite book scenes. It was a tie between Harry Potter and the Master and Margarita, and i chose not to illustrate an obscure sardonic novel few people even know about. Besides, i seem to be on a Snape era now.
It's a character i relate to, especially his early life.

I worked hard on the graduate layering here, something i didnt do before, and i like how it came out. Scan, even fixed, doesnt quite do it justice.

"I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter's son safe.
Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter..."
"But this is touching, Severus," said Dumbledore seriously. "Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?"
"For him?" shouted Snape. "Expecto Patronum!"
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office and soared out of the window.
Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape."

This is an amazing picture! Very well done

His expression is very intense, is he supposed to be angry?

I thought it was a more melancholy sort of thing, but each person reads it differently

i think you did great job painthing one of my favourite chagacters;salt creates interesting effect here it fits well to the scene and increses its magical feel

It would be great if you decide to do an illustration to Master and Margarita one day, it's not my most favourite book but still a part of my top 20 best books list

Less lovely to notice that after all the effort i put in it, lots of things are crooked and generally half-digested...

You can cheat, lose the doe and the wand, and you have a Master scene right there...

Having you as a watcher is sure gratifying.
Maybe i'll make some M&M illustrations for the heck of it.

But really, I'd love to see you draw any of the surreal scenes in Master and Margarita. Something like upset Begemot being yelled at by the driver woman for trying to board a bus (he had the money too).

Yes! Wonderful One of my favourite scenes of the whole series.
Maybe an idea: there is a contest going on at , which your work might be very fitting for.
