Aww Ron, you're just angry because your sister has far shinier hair than you do. :D In all seriousness leelastarsky, I love the luminosity in your work. Every single piece of fanart you do has some light shining out of the characters, it's really amazing the eyecatching effect it has. It makes them look all so happy and content, as if they're in another world, a less dangerous and sacrificing world than the one they inhabit perhaps.

Just one thing that really grabbed me about this picture in particular is Ginny's age. She looks so young there. I remark on it because I find that your female characters are usually so mature and grown up, very much an early 20s-"I've been through some scary shyte so give me a damn drink already" sort of look. But here, she still radiates innocence and youth. I suppose it's a mechanism for when she wants to sneak around a bit, spunkrat that she is. Harry still looks slightly angsty though. I think it suits him; gives him a nice manly look and I bet he thinks it's a valuable substitute for his lack of prominent stubble. Whee to making up stuff about fictional characters.

It seems this comment could be summarised with: I need a life and your art is, as always, good.

Thanks for the great comment! It's always interesting to hear the response my illos garner. While a lot of it depends on what the author asks for, I'm glad to hear you enjoy my interpretations!
