An avocado in progress... 🥑....

YES!!!

Like I like Snape BECAUSE he is a bitch, not in spite of it

🤣🤣🤣

I see some logistical problems with keeping a giant pipe organ in your bedroom while simultaneously owning a cat…

This was my entry into a phan art contest: it was super fun! 

This is also my first Susan Kay fan art!

Erik: I just wrote down our club’s own unique 12 step program.

Gwynplaine: uh…all 12 steps just say “snitches get stitches”?

…………………….

hey remember how I said I was working on trying to make my comics shorter? Welp. :P

Snape & The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♂️

Finally, I can unveil my commissioned Snarry artwork, which was actually completed earlier this year!

This piece is an illustration for a delightful fairy tale written by my client, who requested a stained glass window style with an artistic touch of Art Nouveau, specifically inspired by Mucha’s style.

The experience has been truly enjoyable, as Mucha has always been one of my favorite artists, and Art Nouveau is one of my most beloved art periods. Not to mention, I’ve been a Snarry fan for a long time.

In this enchanting little story, Snarry the Hunter is a seemingly pragmatic character who struggles to acknowledge his deep affection for the little mermaid, Harry. In contrast, Harry is a frank and sincere mermaid, full of curiosity about life on land and completely unreserved in his unconditional love for the first—and only—human he has ever saved (although Snape cruelly denies ever needing help at the time! 🤣).

This is a tale of love between two characters who know so little yet so much about love. I’m still eagerly waiting for my client to reveal the ending!

My client has also created several related products based on this piece, which I’m excited to share with you all:

🔹An Acrylic Stand resembling a stained glass window (currently in its semi-final form)

🔹 An Acrylic Card (Also in its semi-final form)

I hope you all enjoy this piece as much as I do!

*For those interested in the products, feel free to leave me a message here or in private😉

Just to clarify: I’m not actually the seller; my client is. The products are still in production as we are working together on quality control. However, I will ask her if she can ship outside of Asia if there is interest.

OK, I haven’t read the book but why does my man Erik have torture chambers- 😭

… and does he have any in the mansion?

I feel like the presence of the torture chamber is the most clear look into Erik's more vengeful nature we can get. It's first and foremost a trap for anyone who tries to come down to his lair uninvited. The chamber is described in the book like this "little six-cornered room, the sides of which were covered with mirrors from top to bottom. In the corners, we could clearly see the "joins" in the glasses, the segments intended to turn on their gear; yes, I recognized them and I recognized the iron tree in the corner, at the bottom of one of those segments…the iron tree, with its iron branch, for the hanged men." The idea is that it would slowly get increasingly more and more hot and the victims who fell in are either slowly roasted alive or they take their own lives by hanging themselves. Sometimes Erik will play rain sounds to further torment them, possibly in an effort to get them to take their own lives more quickly. I think it's also very interesting to note that it's another example of Erik not getting his own hands dirty, he doesn't have to directly engage with his victims unless he chooses too, he can leave and wait for them to die then come back and clean up once the victim expires or has taken care of themselves. It's a matter of interpretation but I feel like it's insight to someone who has an apparently vengeful nature and the capacity for creative methods of cruelty but doesn't necessarily enjoy the reality of violence. Erik is a character of intriguing juxtapositions and even after having read the book I find him fascinating to pick a part and "solve" The first victim of the chamber is Joseph Bouquet, who falls in on accident while snooping around, and he is implied to have been driven to hang himself. At the end of the book the Daroga and Raoul fall in and only manage to escape because the Daroga finds a way out.
