Beautiful. I love her hair and clothes!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! I think this is the closest I've come to drawing the Hermione I saw when I first read the books. ;~)

oh, that's beautiful! I love the soft glow from the candlelight, and Hermione's eyes - heck, her whole expression is gorgeous.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Cathy! *hugs*

This is great. I love the light and the clothes and hair and Hermione's facial expression. I love this story! It's nice to see a pic drawn from it.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

It's great to hear that the picture compliments the story! Thankyou! :~)

It's tunning. I love the blue tint to it, and their hair is gorgeous. Hermione is so pretty here! Beautiful work! :)

Cheers,

Oh, so gorgeous. *sighs* I love the colouring and softness in your work. It has a dreamy quality to it - it reminds me of a portrait my grandmother had commissioned of me when I was younger, actually *g* Particularly the hair. Lovely. ♥

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've tried doing a portrait in this media...I think I might have to give it a try! ;~) Glad you enjoyed the pic!

[twinkletrees.livejournal.com]

Very very lovely!

That's beautiful! That's one of my favourite stories, haven't read it for an age though. Must do that.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked the pic! :~)

[alissomora.livejournal.com]

Wow. This is one of the most beautiful pics you've done, Leela -- the soft, gorgeous colours, Hermione's sparkly top, Hermione's face and hair. I haven't read the fic so I'm not quite sure what, exactly, Ron is doing! But wow, this is just so impressive. I'm sure both Hope and Emmilyne must be thrilled, and rightly so :D

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I probably should have posted the excerpt with this post... silly me! But the foursome are sitting around drinking firewhisky and there are these berries that, if you squeeze the juice onto the skin of someone you like and then lick it off them it has a sort of aphrodesic reaction. Ron grabs Hermione's arm and... that's the pic! I'm very bad - I haven't read the fic myself; I just don't have time to read fic anymore! :~(
Good to hear that you liked it though, Liss!! And I think this is the closest I've got to the Hermione I saw when I first read the books, cos I was really happy with her face. :~D

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

OMG - look at the firewhiskey bottles!

I will never, ever imagine just a plain bottle ever again!!!!

Look at how she's looking at him - as she should, because he's teh sexiest thing ever!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

*twirls you madly!* YAY! I'm so glad you noticed the bottles!! *hugs!*

[lillywmw.livejournal.com]

Sooo beautiful!Another masterpiece Leela!How great could see through your art one of my favorite fic ever!This scene is hot and you capture it perfectly!The desire over the fear in their eyes!And your background is so full of details that makes it closer to reality!Thank you again!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Lilly! I'm so glad you liked it and that I managed to capture the scene! :~D

[mudblood428.livejournal.com]

You never fail to shock and astound me. This may be my absolute favorite Ron/Hermione picture you've ever drawn! Gosh, look at that sequiny top! And... and Ron's tongue! *dies*

Absolutely gorgeous use of color as well. I'm in love.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks V!! *hugs* Oh! And, call me slow, but I just listened to Spellcast 14 today and was shocked and totally delighted to hear you mention me! My daughter walked into the kitchen (I was painting on the table) just as you said my name and we both looked at each other in shock, and then I went all embarrassed and squeee. Thankyou!!

[luckycyberbunny.livejournal.com]

pretty ful!!! :D what is ron doing to her tho?

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

He's licking berry juice off her wrist. Which causes a sort of aphrodisic reaction in both of them. ;~)

[pili204.livejournal.com]

Wonderful job, Leela!

That scene from Of Heart and Heroes is so well depicted in your drawing. I love Hermione's hair and lose curls and Ron sucking/licking of that fruit - just gorgeous!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Oh, Pili, it's wonderful to hear that I captured the scene! Thankyou!

[howler-monkey.livejournal.com]

oh this is beautiful! hermione is very pretty, but the kind of pretty i imagine she would have. ^^ you did a lovely job with her hair. and i'm very impressed with the hands!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! I'll admit I love the challenge that hands and feet provide and it's wonderful to hear that the hands worked well in this pic! Thanks for taking the time to comment. :~)

[naiad8.livejournal.com]

Oh oh oh! So very beautiful and sexy. Your hermione is always so perfect, and your Ron, so very RIGHT!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! Glad you liked it! :~D

[moonsong18.livejournal.com]

your art is always so beautiful. I love this story also. It's nice to see a scene from it.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

It's lovely to hear that you enjoy my art! Thankyou! :~)

[redhot-witch.livejournal.com]

I love the way you draw Ron and Hermione. So beautiful!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :~)

[chanel19.livejournal.com]

That's gorgeous. Your work just gets better and better.

Can I ask a weird question? What does one have to do to be posted on The Quidditch Pitch? I had a couple of people ask me to cross-post, but I can't get any response from The Quidditch Pitch. I've seen your name associated with their site and was wondering if you knew. I mean, if they just don't like my stuff, I understand, but it would be nice if they'd email and tell me that.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

How could anyone not like your stories?! No, I'm sure that's not it. I remember when I first tried to upload my fics there, I couldn't get them to load and one of the Captains did it for me. Just contact madam_minnie or dream_wia_dream, I'm sure they'd love to have you aboard! :~)

Glad you liked the pic too! And it's wonderfully reassuring to hear that my work is improving. :~D

[belovedranger.livejournal.com]

Hermione looks so pretty! You did a great job with their body positions.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks Linda! I think this Hermione might be the closest I've got to the Hermione I saw when I first read the books, cos I really liked her. ;~)
