Art Rec - Incredible, Even With The dA Watermark

[teddy_radiator]

Came across this drawing in perusing dA (yes, I stalk dA still) and came across this stunning piece of artwork. Irritating dA watermark on it, which is distracting, and it's a Severus/Lily, which is soooo not my favourite, but the look on the boy's face made my heart ache and awoke the latent, protective cougar in me.

It's called Prayer For A Kiss, by lilyhbp, and it's just stunning. Enjoy our favourite Potions master before; when there were still so many possibilities...

LilyHBP is on lj! I really love her work.

He's so sweet and yearning I just want to wrap him up and take him home with me...oh, that's right, I have. Several times... :)

Ooooh! That is lovely!

How his head is turned up towards hers, his lips parted, eyes closed, wishing for a kiss. How he has his arm around his middle, as if trying to hold himself together because he knows she will break his heart again.

And then the look on her face is clinical, she is looking at him for his injuries, not in a loving way as he wished she was. But then her touches make him read more into them than he should.

It really hit all my buttons. I'm not a Severus/Lily fan, because, let's face it, in a real world, he would have moved on after he realised just what a shallow girl she really was. We put so much emphasis on his intellect - surely he would have used some of that to try and claw back his arrested development.

But in the photo he's a babe, and she's a moron.

Oh, he is so lovely! She really WAS a fool!

Could you not just wrap him in your arms and take him home? He would make the most delicious submissive... *sigh*

What a beautiful piece! I love her Severus - she depicts him much as I envision him.

She captures such yearning in this, doesn't she? She's very good.

Absolutely! I've always been an 'older man' kinda gal, but this drawing just makes me want to put my arms around him and take him home - I seriously think I could help mend his broken heart :)

Oops! I didn't express myself well there... I meant features wise, not age wise - but that piece is very much how I envision him at that age.

I love Alan Rickman, and have for much longer than he's played Snape - and although he does a marvelous job in the movies, when I read HP, I envisioned Snape very much as she draws him.

Although, I must admit, I've always imagined him with Alan Rickman's voice... that voice is just liquid lust, isn't it?

I'm totally with you, sister. I've loved Alan Rickman since Robin Hood, and when I saw him in Rasputin, I nearly had a heart attack! I was tickled when I heard he would be Severus in the films, but yes, I know what you mean by how he looks. I remember in one of Aurette's fics called Side Effects, she says how Hermione remembered him as a delicate, angry man, and I so pictured that as well. However, I do love to wax a little sexy on him now and again.

Yes, Mr. Rickman's voice is one of the most incredible instruments I've ever heard. I cannot think of many men who can use it in such a seductive way. In the film Mesmer, I sat and listened to him purr his way through this rather dull film, simply because he just sounded like sex the entire film. Everything he said seemed designed to turn on his listeners! ;)

The look...if she only knew what a lucky girl she was. But no she was a typical teenage girl, mostly into appearances.

I would love to take him home and cuddle him... this has brought out the right cougar in me.
