Description This is my entry for the Spinners--End 2nd Challenge. (check it out and give it a try!) [link]

I wanted to make something very graphic with a very slight Art Deco feel. I feel like Snape had a black cloud hanging over his head his entire life...I just thought the two towers (eh, tower, chimney, whatever...) might illustrate that nicely.

I LOVE this!!! The curls of smoke continuing over the three panels -- the Slytherin snakes in between -- the stylized figure of Snape with his hair and cape billowing in the wind -- the incredibly bold use of white borders against black -- you have a FANTASTIC design sense. Reminds me of one of my favorite graphic artists, Kolo Moser. Just stunning!

Brilliant idea! And you have succeeded admirably in the execution of your intent. I particularly like the swirling lines of smoke that maintain continuity within the tryptich.
