Artist's Comments

(The second version of The Half-Blood Prince.
I made a wallpaper for me yesterday and I couldn't help but add some things... I love old books :3 )
WIP and photos I used :3




TADAAAAAAAAM !!

Prince Charming :love:



:giggle:
*Arcane is soooo proud*



Honestly, I'm really pleased with this one ^^
This drawing is a bit unusual, because I never think about Severus Snape as Alan Rickman ( though I love him in the movies :heart: ), and all that HBP stuff used to annoy me ( I hated the end of the sixth book )

BUT the idea came of the new *rickmaniacs contest : to draw Alan as Severus Snape.
And as I'm reconciled at last with the 'official' Snape ( after Rowling said some very interesting things to Salman Rushdie, some days ago :3 ), I thougt about the Half-Blood Prince =D
So, a young Severus/Alan ^^




Photo ref used, of course O.o ( you can see them here)
Actually, I mixed two pics of Alan, one for the body and another for the face ( the youngest I have, he's so cute on it X3. I don't understand why he looks older on my drawing ._." )

Lineart on paper, HB pencil ( it's been a while since I hold a real pencil :3 ) and adjustments/colors on Photoshop.


I used two real pieces of parchment for his papers, some old french parchments. They can be found on the Gallica library : Histoire de Merlin ( Merlin's Story ), images 28 and 42.


And the scraps on the first paper are the first lines of Merlin's definition on Wikipedia.
As background, I used an old map I found on Gallica, a page of a english book of botany from the XVIth century, and, of course, the Vitruvian Man of Leonardo da Vinci.






Enjoy ! :blowkiss:




PS : Full-view, please !! The preview is bad, and there's some tiny details :3
