Commission art for [info]dewyperfection


Yes, it's Hermione and Lucius. ;~D

Description from [info]dewyperfection -
It's Christmas time in the Malfoy Manor, and years after the death of Narcissa (aww... poor Narcissa) and the defeat of Voldemort, Lucius throws a Christmas party in his "ballroom", and everyone is invited. No one is excluded. After the tramatic events that occurred with the demise of Lord Voldemort, everyone is a little closer even though the former Death-Eaters-turned-Order spies are still wary of the goody-goody Order, and the Order is still quite hesitant and repulsed by the former Voldemort allies. Being that its a few years later, most of the students, who were formerly in Hogwarts during the 2nd Voldemort age, are now pursuing their careers and are quite successful. Everyone from that Hogwarts class now get along fairly well, yes, Draco too, and they are all chatty at this party. Lucius, though he would never admit since he is a total badass, cannot come to terms with the death of his wife even though it has been so many years. The whole party was truly at the coaxing of his friends, the non-former-DE, hoping he might find someone to capture his attention. Well. He did, and it was certainly what none of them had wanted nor expected.

Oh oh! I love the details in this <3 I love the frowns and glares thrown in Lucius and Hermione's direction XD And much love to Ron's form. lol

Don't worry, Ron. Draco's going to be available. *cough*

Wonderful at always. The ballroom, the dancers, the emotions... all the details you added to it make it superb. You get better with each new piece of art.

It's beautiful. I love all of the gowns and robes! Great color and detail.

Wow!It´s gorgeous!!
And each detail is wonderfully made, as usual :)

That's just beautiful. Even on such a flat space as the computer, that has some much dimension and depth. Texture. GREAT piece.
5th-Apr-2007 07:34 am (UTC)
Wow, it's wonderful! So much details... ♥

WOW Kate. I'm going to spend hours looking at this detail. It sort of gives me an awesome Virginia Andrews vibe! Talent! *is ded*
5th-Apr-2007 11:19 am (UTC)

This art is so awsome! I think one day I'll have to commission you...when I have got more money...°sighs°

poor Ron...he looks so...pissed off

(and the icon is directed at Lucius, not you...I'm speaking for Ron here)
5th-Apr-2007 01:13 pm (UTC)
As always, an absolutely beautiful picture, Leela -- I love the way everyone else's attention is focused on Lucius and Hermione, but they're blissfully just in a world of their own ♥
5th-Apr-2007 01:15 pm (UTC)
Wow!! This is gorgeous! It must be humongous for you to be able to have so much detail in it. The looks on everyone’s faces including the portraits on the ceiling is spot on Babe. I love all the dress robes. They fit the personality of each character. Umbridge is in pink of course. It almost looks like Hermione’s in the GoF movie. Hermione looks like Cinderella here. She is so beautiful, it is no wonder Lucius has fallen for her. Poor Ron. The ball room is lovely. I want the draperies.

I'm floored. Absolutely floored. This is magnificent.
6th-Apr-2007 03:11 pm (UTC)
Thankyou! :~)
5th-Apr-2007 02:53 pm (UTC)
While I know I'm certainly biased, since this IS my commission, I really think you've completely outdone yourself on this. It is even more beautiful than I could've ever imagined, and I am WAY more than a happy customer. I can't wait to have it framed. Thank you so much, Leela! <33333
6th-Apr-2007 03:11 pm (UTC)
I'm SO happy that you like it! I'll get it in the post after Easter. (still working out how best to pack it. It's bigger than I usually do. ;~) )
5th-Apr-2007 03:02 pm (UTC)
It's gorgeous! I love seeing the whole cast of characters. You create such a lovely setting. Poor Ron in the back there, and I really like Lupin/Tonks back there. They are just 'background' and yet you gave them each such character detail. Awesome.

Well done!
6th-Apr-2007 03:08 pm (UTC)
Thanks, Maple! I'll admit, this one was a lot of fun to do. Quite a challenge, but fun. :~)
5th-Apr-2007 03:07 pm (UTC)
I'm almost speechless--the detail, colors, and character in this are all exquisite. I love, love, LOVE Hermione's hair, and the looks on hers and Lucius' faces are incredibly telling and delicate. I also adore Ginny's dress :)
6th-Apr-2007 03:06 pm (UTC)
Thankyou!! :~)
5th-Apr-2007 04:21 pm (UTC)
Love Tonks' dress. Totally rock-on! And the expressions in everybody's faces!
6th-Apr-2007 03:06 pm (UTC)
Tonks is my favourite part of this picture. ;~) I'm so glad you liked her too!
5th-Apr-2007 04:44 pm (UTC)
Beautiful! The detail (and you ALWAYS do it well) is superb. There are lot of lazy illustrators, but not you! To me it's always a sign you did this.
6th-Apr-2007 03:05 pm (UTC)
What a lovely thing to say! I'm blushing! Thankyou!
5th-Apr-2007 06:38 pm (UTC)
Absolutely gorgeous! I love all the details, all the dresses. The expressions on the faces are wonderful, and I totally love how Hermione and Lucius are dancing together. They're my third favorite pairing... hee. You should do more... hee.

Wonderful job!
6th-Apr-2007 03:04 pm (UTC)
Glad you liked it!! :~D
5th-Apr-2007 06:54 pm (UTC)
Beautiful!
Marvelous!
Fascinating!
I personally don't like Hermione/Lucius pairing but I do like the illustration ;)
I like the hair-dresses best of all and the 'band' in the corner.
Well, actually, I like everything. And so many little details making the whole picture... 'alive'!
Wonderful!
6th-Apr-2007 03:03 pm (UTC)
Thanks, Nataly! So glad you enjoyed all the details. :~)
5th-Apr-2007 07:15 pm (UTC)
Whilst I vehmently do NOT approve of the main pairing here, *cringe* I must agree the artwork is quite to my liking.

Looking forward to having you as a guest of the Manor, Leela.
