Quite unlike anything I've seen before, and I like it ...
But the hand holding the banner is a bit large compared to the rest of Snape, unless you're making a point about it. You probably are, and I'm slow to get it ...

Stop. Just Stop. NO DON'T. I MEAN.
Too much awesome in one place? THIS COMMENT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. I need to recover from looking at so much of your amazing stuff in a row. This is what being away and letting my inbox overflow gets me. Ahh, well. For now I will say, I am absolutely astounded by the chilling symbolism here.

Gorgeous! I love all of your art of Snape and this one is also fantastic! The imagery here is stunning--especially the weeping patronus and snake and the crow (raven?) with the exposed heart. The lily banner, palm fronds and webs, his pose--all awe-inspiring! If I were a judge you'd have my vote--good luck!

Severus Snape, Working Class Hero, with as lily on his red banner instead of a star. I love it!

You once said you never know if people will like your comments; I think they're always thoughtful and inspiring and great! Thank you, it's so much more than I could've wished for!

The palm fronds and the red banner with the (apparent) star immediately made me think of Latin America: Severus Snape as Che Guevara. Not every artist in these degenerate days knows her way around socialist symbolism, but it seems to me appropriate enough for the son of a poor muggle mill worker enslaved to a pair of ancient megalomaniacs.
After the Revolution will be the Dictatorship of the Hufflepuffs. Ravenclaws will be put into universities and purged regularly, Gryffindors will be allowed in the Red Army and purged even more often, and Slytherins will be lined up against the wall and shot -- except, of course, for those clever half-bloods who switch sides at exactly the right moment and end up in charge of the Politburo.
Hmmm, I seem to have switched continents somehow and landed in the Soviet Union. I wonder how that happened.

Intriguing thoughts. I must say I'm very impressed by your sensible insight; gives me some stuff to think about.
I also think the whole series is actually full of symbolism - some obvious, some very subtle. I don't know if it was intended, but sometimes the story seems like a disguised history book. ...but maybe I'm misjudging.

"The Revolution as seen by Hufflepuffs" is a bit of silliness I originally wrote for my story "Girls' Night at the Hogs Head," but edited out because I decided teenage girls of the 1990s wouldn't exchange jokes about Marxism the way teenagers of my generation might have done.
On the other hand, I refuse to give up my theory that the four Houses represent the social classes of the Dark Ages: Gryffindor = the aristocracy, Ravenclaw = the clergy, Hufflepuff = the peasantry, and Slytherin = the outsider who doesn't fit into any social class but must make his way through drive, ability, and any means he can manage.

Thank you so much!!
I'm not sure if you're referring to this? It's a challenge, actually. But if you were referring to the last unicorn contest I entered: I lost - last place. 
Thank you, dear, you're awesome!
