birdsofshore requested something canonical on my recent call for prompts. Of the moments she suggested, the Fiendfyre one was the one that most caught my eye as something I had never done before.

Date: 2015-01-02 11:28 pm (UTC)It's turned out so dramatic with the composition, I don't know, the placing of the figures and I suppose the way the focus is on Draco and his peril. Harry looks reluctant - if I didn't know the scene I would not feel at all sure that he was going to take Draco's hand or not. But Draco's yearning stretch is achingly lovely. The way his face is upturned to Harry and he's reaching out to be saved with all of his might - it seems terribly symbolic and heart clenching. I'm feeling a bit emotional about it because it seems to portray the way Draco, as a literary character, seems to me to be BEGGING for some kind of redemption by the end of the series. And here, to see Harry looking down almost as if he can't decide whether or not he's worth saving... it's awfully moving.
But this is just my rather overwrought interpretation of it this evening. Harry's hand is reaching out, after all, almost against his will. The background is so gloriously intense - it looks even prettier on the little screen of my phone, with the red so fiery and the blacks so bold. I love the great streaks of colour across the whole piece, and the gorgeous tension, and the little details like the lovely soles of Draco's shoes, and *cough* his arse really does look RATHER NICE while he is being saved from mortal peril. Shame Harry is the wrong side to appreciate it the view...
I love the little touches of red on their skin and clothes, as well, and the heat of it all, and the light on Draco's face, and Goyle's outflung hand, and Draco propping him up and the way he's clinging. ♥ Oh, lots of feels, this one. Beautiful.
When I was looking through your recap of the year, I thought, how can I ever thank you for all this art you've gifted me/us, and now there's ANOTHER. /o\ Overwhelmed with it all. Thank you, dear. It's really something.

I think he looks like one of those robust floating angels in Renaissance art because I couldn't get the foreshortening right or real stress in his reach. I like your interpretation of that. Draco's pretty thighs and arse were, of course, entirely intentional *g*
