Harry Potter FanArt; Severus Snape
(I usually forget to write this =D )

I spent too much time on the background - then I had to cover it all in snow. Depressing. Stupid me.^^
Also... is it just me or does my raven look like a penguin? :XD: It got confused with the snow. ;P

If you want to know what it means to me:
"If you look a raven in the eye for too long it will steal your soul and fly away with it." I wish I could remember where I heard that... anyway, that was my main concept here.
(ps. I remember that I tried it. :shrug: Either it doesn't work or I just didn't notice.^^ )

Maybe the raven looks like a penguin because (at least in photos) they don't usually place their wings in such a position?

I wouldn't be surprised if Snape gets acquainted with a real penguin if he ever travels near the south pole. I believe that his Inner Animal is a penguin: enduring, but ultimately warmhearted

I love how you used the color here for all the symbolism.

So atmospheric! I can almost feel the crisp, biting cold. And the detail if his too-short trousers just slays me!

I love this bleak, yet beautiful winterscape, and no, your raven just looks like he's trying to keep warm by puffing up :nod: I find Severus's spindly ankles very touching, and his uncomfortable - looking shoes are an interesting focal point somehow. His eyes don't seem to be fixed on the bird, but in the distance, as if he's already dismissed him and the remote possibility it could ever take his great soul.
