art!

[leelastarsky]

Not allowed to eat or drink anything (pre surgery) so thought I'd post some new art to distract myself.  ;~P

Commissioned by ronhermione33 for belovedranger, from her fic Clean Sweep.


and a closeup...


The name of the club was the Calyx Club, which invoked a floral theme in my head, so I went for an Art Nouveau style for the Club.  Hence the swirly lines and uneven sort of organic look of the background decor.

copic markers and watercolours and gouache on watercolour stock.

I love Hermione's dress and the vaguely Indy tone of Ron's clothing and the pretty background.

LOL at Ron's Indy clothes! XD But who wouldn't want to look like Indy? (Raiders of the Lost Ark age Indy of course!)
Glad you liked it!

Ooh! Made my day. This is totally magnificent. I'm actually in the misdst of re-reading DH and just thrilling to all the R/Hr moments.

Happy to hear you liked it!

absolutely beautiful!!

Question for you: I may be doing my graduate thesis over Harry Potter fanfiction and fanart. I was wondering if you would mind if I showed your birth of venus picture. Full credit will be given to you in the presentation and throughout the paper, if that is the topic I pursue. I just wanted to run it by the artist before I pursued anything.

Thanks!

Fine by me! Good luck with the thesis! What an interesting topic! :~)

I love the pic; I think Hermione's hair is just awesome, as is their clothes and the background. So wonderful.

Good luck with the surgery, hon! *hugs*

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Awwww. So pretty. I love it.

[moonsong18.livejournal.com]

sigh.....(looking at picture with dreamy eyes)....you do such great artwork. Beautiful, just Beautiful.

[reallycorking.livejournal.com]

This is SO beautiful, Leela! The details in their clothing and faces and hair and the architecture--it's all just amazing! I can't stop staring. And the way his hand loops around to the small of her back is such an intimate, lovely gesture. Fantastic work! ♥♥

[kacie223.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's just breathtaking! I love the expressions on their faces and the way they're holding each other. *sigh* I could gaze at it all night.

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

Your art is always so fabulous! What I love the most is how you're able to portray these characters as adults, not adult bodies with kid faces. The truth is, your Ron is exactly how I picture him, and is my favorite out of all the fanart I've seen.

Absolutely wonderful work!

[doortoriver.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is SO utterly lovely!!

Magical

[arlverde.livejournal.com]

You art leaves me awestruck. Your talent amazes me. Not only your depiction of Ron and Hermione--which are always breathtaking, but I could actually feel the love and commitment in your work. The baqckground is stunning and the dteails are amazing. I love the wandin Ron's pockect, Hermiones chockers, the expression on their faces, the ways their clothes fall ontheir bodies. I could go on and on.

Hope all goes well with you your surgery---the fasting before sugery sucks. Wish you a speedy recovery.

These colors are magic. I love the contrast of cold and warm.

[mudblood428.livejournal.com]

Oh, how gorgeous! My R/Hr heart is a-flutter!

I might add - the new look for your journal is hella awesome!

[luvscharlie.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! (And gorgeous doesn't even come close to describing how truly beautiful this is)

[becmajec.livejournal.com]

This is my favourite all time ron+hermione fan fiction, so that makes your already amazing drawing all the better.
Wonderful!

[nuclearsugars.livejournal.com]

So gorgeous, this has such a wistful, dream-like quality to it. The way Ron is looking at Hermione is just absolute adoration. I love the way you've drawn Hermione's hair, with the tendrils and whisps of hair falling into her face.

I shall be friending you to keep up with your art. :)
