Oh - the boys look so happy - and I love Ron's hand in her hair.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Eeee! Thankyou! I had a LOT of trouble with this composition: Little Britain is very popular in our house and, well "bitty" kept leaping to mind, so I had to be very careful how I place Ron and Harry!!

How was Prague?! *hugs*

Charming.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :~)

Beautiful

I love the casual intimacy, the child on the breast, the other on Harry, and the look on Harry's face.....Golden times.

Re: Beautiful

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so glad to hear that the casual intimacy comes across. :~)

[kaalee.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is just beautiful!! I love how happy and simple everything looks there.

And your eye for detail is just extraordinary. I love Ron's hand in Hermione's hair. ♥

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The compostition was dificult to get just right, actually, so it's great to hear that it works. :~)

[mieronna.livejournal.com]

I love this - unbelievable what some people can do with some media! I really like the composition, how happy they all look - especially Harry's and Ron's grins - Hermione's smile is a nice contrast... and characterisation. Anyway. absolutely lovely work!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, Mieronna! It's great to hear that you liked it!

Oh, my. I've only known about it for 5 minutes, but this has already become one of my favorite pieces of hp art. Harry is perfect!! I love his smile. And the little girl's dress. Beautiful. The whole thing is so well constructed. Love Hermione's leg up on the footrest.

You got one thing wrong, though. That is not a pet dog. You see, sirius had been traumatized after the war and retreated into being Padfoot (I know, it's fanon, but hey, so's the pic). When the trio got married (or whatever) and found this gorgeous house in the country (or retired to Godric's Hollow, or whatever), they took Padfoot with them. He's healing, you see, and getting over his grief because Remus died in the war (sniff!). But Severus is lonely in his little potions ingredient shop, waiting for him. One day very soon, when the twins are just a little older, he will go with the family into Hogsmeade, where they'll stop to buy ingredients for a bruise-lifting salve, and....

(just kidding!) :-)

The little girl's dress was my kids' favourite part of the pic. ;~)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[madeleneg.livejournal.com]

It's so beautiful, all of them look so happy and calm, expect for the dog maybe, he looks pretty gloomy, but I guess that's just the normal dog look. ;P

I wonder what the girl is saying to make them smile like that.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for taking the time to comment; it's great to hear you liked it and that you enjoyed the various expressions. :~)

[santa-elidan.livejournal.com]

Mine, mine, mine, mineminemineminemine!!!!!!!!! YAY YAY YAY!

*happy dance*
*more happy dance*
*exhausted by all the happy dancing*

Have no words, am just very very happy with my new art.
I DO SO LOVE YOU. Thanks so so so much!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

*dances madly*
I'm so glad you like it!!!
*more happy dance*
It will be in the post tomorrow! ;~)

Oh wow!!! Wow Leela this turned out so wonderful. I can actually see that scene in my head. I love this!! You and santa_elidan did such a tremendous job capturing the trio and their children. And Mocha!!! You got Mocha in there!

I'm just stunned at how beautiful this is. I too love the touch with Ron's hand in Hermione's hair

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! It's wonderful to hear that I captured the spirit of the characters in the RPG! :~D

[lizardspots.livejournal.com]

Omg, how adoreable! And also, what a neat concept! *wants to read that* I love the light colour scheme here - so summery and gentle. :D Harry looks so delightful.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Lizard!! *hugs*

[bitemefenrir.livejournal.com]

This is *stares* so beautiful!
I love the little baby's fot, the baby Hermione is holding. It's so cute!
I love this pic! Ohmy!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

It's great to hear you enjoyed it!! :~)

[iulia_linnea.livejournal.com]

*squees*

I love this picture; it's a perfectly realized family scene that I don't doubt for a moment---and the loving intimacy it displays is beautiful.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments! :~)

[admiratio.livejournal.com]

I like your Hermione - she doesn't look like Emma which is a plus. Your Harry does look a little like Dan, but sadly Ron does not look like Rupert! Still, I love this! Your vision of the three of them is very beautiful!

[santa-elidan.livejournal.com]

For this drawing I asked for Leela to follow as exactly as possible the trio's description of a particular story.
Though Rupert is my favorite Ron too (hell, isn't he our all favorite? LOL), I wanted Dungeon!Ron here.
But I promise to go back to Rupert!Ron again for the next commissions *grin*

[maple-mahogany.livejournal.com]

Leela! You kill me! Oh it's so beautiful! Hermione has the prettiest, most content look at her face. I love her nursing - *squish*
Harry with the wee babe on his chest with his big hands covering it just so. I like how his shorts are all scrunchy. Ron is beautiful - looks like a different Ron than I've seen from you, he's still very handsome.

*sigh* I am SO glad you are in my fandom!!!!!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Great to hear you liked it, Maple! I was told that Ron had to look like a mix of an older Rupert Grint and David Duchovney. This was my second attempt - the first one apparently looked like Harrison Ford. ;~P

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

Very quickly, bnut - your coloring is this is so springtime light and airy GORGEOUS (like a David Kinkaid painting if those were, like, brilliant), but I really love all the characters in this in particular. Their poses and expressions are so increbiyl natural, it looks like a photo still. Even better, I swear Hermione's gonna shift or look down at her baby or something. I LOVE their poses and expressions so much! Bravo!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Glock!! It's wonderful to hear that the compostion and lighting works. *hugs you big*

[purpledna.livejournal.com]

absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!! i love the indulgent smile full of fatherly pride that ron has.

do breasts really get that big when breastfeeding? >< sorry for the ignorant qn!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Great to hear you enjoyed it!
And, yes, breasts get HUGE when you're breastfeeding, specially on day 3 or 4 when your milk comes in. O.o ;~)

[anuyamirei.livejournal.com]

My favorite thing is Ron's smile. But! The whole thing is wonderful. Hermione looks very beautiful, babies so awww! Great job ^ ^

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Great to hear that you liked it! :~)

Best trio art EVAR.

Kate, you never fail to amaze me. Never.

Gorgeous, intimate, and so very perfect.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, Tarie!! *hugs*

[shiinait.livejournal.com]

Wonderful!
I especially love Harry with the little child!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! It's great to hear that you enjoyed it, especially Harry and the baby. :~)

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Absolutely beautiful. I love Harry's laughing face, and Ron's expression of pure delight. And Harry holding that little baby is absolutely melting my heart. Hermione looks so content, too. Everything about this is enchanting. :-)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it! :~)

[simons-flower.livejournal.com]

Oh my god! That's just perfect. Oh wow, I just keep staring.

The line art for this didn't do it justice. Just wow.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, the sketches always look crappy after the painting is finished. ;~) Glad you liked it!!

[austenrowling.livejournal.com]

I love this, very beautiful. Nice setting. I'm really liking Hermione's short haircut, it looks good on her. Ron's hand is a nice touch.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Great to hear Ron's hand worked. :~)

[mereol.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is absolutely beautiful! I love Ron's hand on Hermione's neck, the serene expression on her face and the delight on Harry's. Just gorgeous, really.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! It's great to hear you enjoy it. :~)

Oh my goodness, I love, love, love this. I love how casual the nursing is, just very matter of course, and how easy they are all with one another. I love the teeny weeny babies and how you've captured Ron and Harry's being completely enamored with the old child, while Hermione takes it all a bit more in stride. And just how peaceful they are with one another...sigh. It made me smile!

[cariad2.livejournal.com]

DOH! That was me. But I really do love it.

[madam-minnie.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!! This is so perfect! You captured them so beautifully and I just can't believe it. I mean, it's right here and it's so pretty and I just want to pet them. I think I will. Hee!

I hope you're satisfied with the way your Harry came out? I think Leela did one of her best jobs with him, didn't she?
