this is several months old, but my brain decided to turn it into a prequel-ish doodle to cruel language. no idea why. probably set a few days before the mission from hell.






i've lost my ability to color. :|

edit: hahaha cropping!fail.

This is beautiful. I admire artists who can get such powerful emotion to jump off the page (screen). It would be such a wonderful talent to have.

Oh man, I thought nothing could be more painful than the original, but...

You just made it worse D:

Fuck, the way Draco's holding Harry's glasses, and the expression on Draco's face, and, and, and...

You are an evil genius.

Well done. Such a beautifully indecisive expression on Draco's face. I think expressions and lines - so fluid and graceful and strong - are your best skill at the moment.

I personally think that it would've been more effective if your Harry had a contented, happy expression - it would have made Cruel Language all the more...well, cruel and quite horrifying. (Btw, I hadn't commented to it at the fest being a mod, but oh gad, it was stunningly symmetrical in the visuals you laid out. The colours, the forms, the story, the panels, all were complementing each other so beautifully that the overall effect was incredible. It was one of your most brilliant forays into HP art, in my opinion).

you might be right, but i drew this before i even had the idea for cruel language and it felt wrong to change it at the last minute. i suppose you could see it as harry quietly worrying about his mission and draco trying to reassure him despite knowing what he'll have to do to him.

thank you! :]

Fffffffffffffffffffffffff. That's almost painful to look at, considering the outcome... D: Although it's beautiful too, of course. You have an incredible talent for capturing feeling and emotion, which is very difficult to get right, and yet you do. ♥

That is wonderful. The expression on Harry's face is heartbreaking. And the beautiful purple makes it very intense.

I don't usually follow D/Hing, but I just went and saw Cruel Language, and it's fucking fantastic. Like... amazing. I love the perspectives, especially as Harry blacks out. And this... fflkjsf it totally adds to it. Well done, my dear!

OMG! Such beautiful artwork, and yet it's all the more heartbreaking with 'Cruel language' to come. Draco's face is just so full of misery. :(

Who cares about colouring - this is gorgeous! Such beautiful expressions and lovely details, like Draco's hand on Harry's neck, and his other hand holding the glasses.

well, my own take is here (http://spacefragments.livejournal.com/173839.html#cutid1), but at this point it's just one of many possible versions. :]
