I've never seen Lily, or the memory of her, represented like this. Very insightful. I have a feeling this is how Snape would dream. He wasn't exactly a "butterflies-and-sunny-meadows" kind of person.

I love how creepy he looks, with his ominous stance in the shadows betwixt the two lit sides.

I'm so excited by your introduction of brighter saturated colors in your images. That's not easy to pull off w/ this character, and I think you're doing an amazing job of it. As usual, you symbolic imagery is just inspiring and superb The addition of the blue globe really pops out the figure and the subtle shading/light around him is very effective; I love his lowered face, gaze and . . . hat!! I am seeing a figure in the brown coils aside from the demon and nose - like face in the center . . . umm, yeah . . . this image to me is also full of irony.

oh my god, when will I not have a seizure every time I see a picture of yours in my inbox. (never is the correct answer, btw)

I love love love what you did with Lily. To me, and I know a lot of people may disagree with me--Snape's love for her was unhealthy because I don't think he ever got over loving her as an idea rather than a person to a large extent (thus, he never spared a real thought for those she loved, as you would expect someone in love to do, etc.) If that makes sense.

ALSO. I have to flail over the fact that you drew Snape in a top hat (on FIRE, no less!) and cane. You are making one of my many obscure Snape-related dreams come true .

ALSO #2: THOSE EYES ff fffff ffff

I had to enlarge this one so that I could take in all of the wonderful details! I love the golden clockwork cogs to the right and the red cloth beneath his feet looks like a punctured heart. That jaguar is magnificent! I love the symbolism. The walking stick and is that a bowler hat on his head beneath the torch? Reminds me of a Clockwork Orange--take that as a compliment, please!

He surely idealized her, not only after her death, but in life as well: their relationship is not 'even'... surely he doesn't seem to associate her to other human beings. From those glimpses of the dynamic between them we're given, I see a Snape that surely is pretty awkard in the whole 'friendship' affair and its meaning, and reluctant to admit that his beloved, idealized Lily is a true adolescent, a young woman with her flaws as well, just like evrybody else.
After her death, the feeling just intensifies.

I love the symbols, the composition, and the heavy Surrealist atmosphere.
Oh, and what a magnetic gaze he has.

This is fascinating. I see all kinds of symbols here that may or may not have been intentional on your part. (Is that a twisted body hidden under the red cloth representing Snape's eternal torment--hidden to all but himself?) Snape's eyes are haunting. Awesome job on the jaguar--I can almost hear a low rumble coming from his throat. Lovely composition.

...the first thing I thought when I saw this was: "OH MY GOSH HIS HEAD IS ON FIRE!!!"



But once I got that silliness out of the way, I was able to see the rest of this wonderful piece. I love how much symbolism you put into your work. You can sit and stare at each one forever and get so many different meanings and connections I really like what you did with Lily - the "perfect" memory Snape has of her, idolizing her image. I know just how that goes, when you love someone and put them on a pedestal. That snake and devil man look ready to snatch him up!

Intriguing piece as usual. Neither the Hell or the Heaven here look like places I'd want to visit, though interesting just to look at, prolly best to just stand there in the safety of that jaguar. Great intense gaze, nice and direct
