Copic markers, watercolour and gouache.

I really like your older Harry. Too many folks draw him as 16 with scruff, but you get the sense that he's more grown up here, and I really like that.

And Ginny is so beautiful!

Thanks, Darsynia! It's great to hear that it looks like a 'grown up' Harry! Glad you liked Ginny too. :~)

That is beautiful...such a quiet sense of feeling there.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Linda! *hugs*

STUBBLE!!! OMG, he's gorgeous! LOOK at the DETAIL on his glasses!!!! And Ginny aint bad either! oNly kidding! YOu know how much I love your work! I don't care who the pairing or what the subject matter is!

This looks so sad, taht I'm not really sure if I want to know what's going on here. But, they're amazing! Beautiful work!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! See, that's how I feel about art too! I don't care who (or what ;~P) the pairing is, I'm just there for the pretty. :~)
Glad you enjoyed this one!

Oh dear me, you do so rock my world Leela. I love how you make Harry so 'Harry' and yet a grown up man at the same time. Ginny too, she's so pretty, and they really look like they belong together.

*sigh* ... and it's kind of silly, but I always love the way you do his glasses and the streaks of light reflecting in them. ha!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! It's great to hear that Harry looks older, yet still like Harry, and that you enjoy my art. :~)

[penny-sieve.livejournal.com]

So beautiful! Love the way you've drawn Ginny and her expression, absolutely love Harry!
Ah, so gorgeous. Thanks for this lovely treat.

Oh, what a heartfelt piece. Just beautiful. Wow!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Pili! :~)

This is beautiful. You've done a wonderful job capturing the characters' emotions.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :~)

[bbennett.livejournal.com]

Really nice - his expression is so distressed. I like this a lot.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Great to hear the feelings come across. Thanks! :~)

[ura-hd.livejournal.com]

Simply awesome!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. :~)

Both grown wizards, no longer kids...Ginny looks both worried and relieved and Harry just looks like all his worries are gone...great work.

Thanks for sharing!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Great to hear you enjoyed it! :~)

It's remarkable how you age up your characters so that they are recognizable as their described childhood selves from the books yet become both yours and strong embodiments of deep adult characterizations in your work. That felt long-winded and imprecise. What I want to say is that I completely accept your illustrations as True, and they make me very happy to see. ♥

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad my illos make you happy!! :~)

[mudblood428.livejournal.com]

The picture is, as always, utterly gorgeous. I'm as ever astounded by your use of color. It's just beautiful.

(I hope you don't mind my asking - I noticed your mood registered somewhere between rage and depression. Is everything okay?)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks Venessa!
And, well you've read the post about my health. ;~)

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Absolutely beautiful. I love their hair. And Harry's stubble. Just gorgeous.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Great to hear their hair works!! And that you enjoyed the pic! :~)

[siriusstar.livejournal.com]

This is a very poignant piece. As always there is so much emotion in their faces. Beautiful!

I hope you're feeling better.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's great to hear the emotion in the piece comes through. :~)

[runcible.livejournal.com]

Oh this is just ... beautiful. Wow.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :~)

[sue-parsons.livejournal.com]

Same reaction as mudblud. Great picture, full of hidden emotion. Hope YOU'RE Ok.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Sue! I've made a post about the health thing. ;~) Feeling a wee bit more positive this evening.

[spidergirl30.livejournal.com]

Wow!It´s beautiful,as always :)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed it! :~)

[madderbrad.livejournal.com]

As others have commented it's clever/talented how you've depicted the older versions of the characters. I've had 'Heal the Pain' in my reading queue for a while ... maybe it's time to move it to the front!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the pic.
aibhinn is a very good author so I'm sure the story is well worth reading. :~)

[shiinait.livejournal.com]

Oh,I love them!
Ginny is very beautiful and sweet...

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! It's great to hear you liked it. :~)

[xprincessbloomx.livejournal.com]

That's so beautiful! I love the tender look on Ginny's face, and I looooove her hair so much, I want to have hair like that! :) And you really do get the sense that Harry is much older in this picture. Great work!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! I'm glad you liked Ginny's hair; I was pleased with how it turned out. :~)

[rdprice29.livejournal.com]

Absolutely beautiful as usual! Great job!

[chaotick.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, as always... I love the tones in Ginny's hair. So real! Now I have to go re-read HTP and then gaze at your lurvely art again... :D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

From someone who is actually not that interested in Harry/Ginny: holy CRIPES. This is gorgeous. This picture may do more for me in selling me on Harry/Ginny than all of Book 6 did, I swear. I love Harry's stubble, and Ginny's gentle "If only I could do something" air.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! It's great to hear that the emotions and feeling of the piece comes through loud and clear. :~)

[verogeller.livejournal.com]

wow... this art is truly wonderful, i always enjoy the way you draw Harry & Ginny :)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! It's great to hear you enjoyed it. :~)

[midniterose.livejournal.com]

This is a beautiful picture to coincide with a beautiful story

[aibhinn.livejournal.com]

Aw, I'm so glad you enjoyed HtP! :)
