Over at hp_fringeart they are having this irresistible challenge - January 2006 Challenge: Imitation of a Famous Artwork. And, well, I couldn't resist. So, as a birthday treat, I indulged myself, and this was the result -



Birth of Venus remix
Here's the original Botticelli

And here's my HP version...

I decided to work this as a bit of a bathing scene, hence the fact that Harry, Ron and Hermione are all wearing togs. In fact I was originally going to place them at the Burrow, but the lure of a castle in the background was too seductive to pass up! ;~) So they're in the Lake. I think they've just got out and are drying off, which is why Hermione is wearing a flimsy sort of wrap, and trying to cover Ginny (who is shameless!). Harry is way too excited by naked Ginny and Ron is trying to stop him from reaching naked Ginny! :~D
I have spent WAY too much time on this, but it was wonderful to do. And I already have another one in mind!! *headdesk*

Here's some closeups because Harry came out looking like a total perv and so you can see that Ron and Ginny do in fact have freckles! :~D






Hope you enjoy. :~)

ETA- here's the link to a 1200x848 version for those who'd like to see it a bit bigger. :~)
