Description
"Snape said nothing, but walked forwards and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
'Severus ... please ...'
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
'Avada Kedavra!'
I have one thing to say about this – SEVERUS SNAPE IS NOT EVIL!

Wow! The lighting, colors and shading are fabulous! I love the murky greens that you chose--it gives it the right feeling of evil and danger. Great work with the posed characters!

Oh, the moment that broke my heart. It truly did, for Snape and for Dumbledore.

Whoever doesn't know by now that Snape cannot simply be called "evil" lacks basic literacy skills. JK made his true allegiance so abundandly clear in DH that even those who didn't pick it up before will have had a hard time missing the "poor wittle abused boy" aspect to his character in "The Prince's Tale" chapter, which, in the world of literature, excuses a lot of what he did before to a lot of readers. Not the most positive of takes on someone who abuses his power as a teacher and likely used to go around murdering people in his youth (not counting Dumbledore's euthanasia).
And that is spoken as a rabid Snape fan.
Thanks for bringing back the memory of that chapter. While sad, it was one of the most effective ones in all seven books for me.

Wow. The details, and cover are just so....
It reminds me so much of the actual cover of the HP books. That's a big achievement.
I love everything about it. And Snape isn't evil. He's my fav other than Tom Riddle, and Neville....

Not evil at all. Oh and, where's Malfoy in this? Beautiful artwork once AGAIN.

Standing behind Snape. The only other one without a hood. I know it doesn't look like him ut i wanted to makes everything distorted somewhat

He's not evil. People have found almost definite proof in the books that he's not evil. *hugs Snape, who makes a disgusted face and pulls away*
Beatiful painting, by the way...

Yeah I know! I have. :d

How is Snape not evil?... but anyway, the colors are amazing, and I love the green that you used, most that people use for avada kedavra are too cheerful
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because Dumbledore MADE him do it, he pleaded with him to and made him promise. Yeah I wanted the green to be a sickly yellow kind of green.

wow, that is awesome. I think it depicts the scene in the book really well. *hugs Dumbledore* ._.

Aww thanks! *hugs Snape* lol

I STILL TRUST SNAAAAAAPE!
Fantastic mood you have created with this, really clever use of only one small section of the colour spectrum. Brilliant!

It's okay, I'm a member of the "Sev's Not Evil Club!" Luv the drawing, even though it's such a sad scene. The Death Eaters all look so creepy and shadowy; kinda of like the Reaper's come for poor Dumbledore.

Well he has in a sense eh? *Dum dum duuuuuum*
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
How in hell can you say he's not evil?! this still looks brilliant though.

Wow! I love this, Kat. The colors are amazing, and the whole layout is nice. I agree, Severus can't be evil! He just can't!!! But yes, this is a fantastic painting. It looks as if it's from Harry's POV. I have to

Yeah it's from Harry's POV

That part of the book made me curse. Really. I was like "Snape, you dirty little whore!" Plus... more words.. I like how you can't really see everybody's faces clearly. If I tilt my head to the side, right above Dumbledore, I see a skull, like the Dark Mark. Of course... that could just be me.. *shrugs*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, the skull is there

I love the shade of green you used for Avada Kedavra. Some people go for a really bright, crisp green, but I think this sickly shade creates the mood much better.
