Art: Suspended in Space (PG)

[pink_mint]

Title: Suspended in Space
Characters: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Created with: Painter X
Warnings: crack!art, surrealism, Eggplant!Draco and Tomato!Harry, slight creep factor
Notes: This is fanart for potteresque_ire's awesome fic, Eggplant Parmesan. Thank you, marguerite_26, for the reassurance! Additional notes below.

Additional notes: I read Eggplant Parmesan two nights ago, and I'm just a bit in love with it. I've never read anything like it. And I really, really wanted to paint veggie!H/D.

I took a break from my current project and painted this in a whirlwind yesterday. I love surrealism but haven't ever done anything truly surreal (it's always been more traditional), so this was a lot of fun. But by the time I finished it and took a good look at it, I wasn't so sure it should have been done! I wrote marguerite_26:

You see, unlike the fanart that red_rahl did, which was adorable, this is
just sort of creepy. And it was meant to be, being surrealism and all. But still.
Should I post it? Do you think she'll like it? Should I dispose of it??? LOL.

She said I should post it, the dear.

potteresque_ire, this is for you! I hope you like it! ♥

I'm delighted you like the colors, they were fun to pick! Thanks so much!

I dislike eggplant, BUT this totally makes me want one!

♥ I love the color contrast and the way you've made the eyes!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

I wanted the eyes to look like they could actually be part of a vegetable, so I tried to make them look veggie-like, lol! Glad you liked them! Thank you so much! ♥

SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Aw, thank you thank you thank you!! It's Dark!Veggie!H/D!!! *adores* I can imagine these two in the storage cellar doing some very depraved sex acts... like, waxing, bondage. Watersports, even! *aims sprinkle on them*.

Oh, with eyes like this, they'd find each other anywhere. Draco's eyes look at little sedated ... it's the "you don't want to know what I'm dreaming of doing to you" look! And Harry. He's watching, the calm a challenge.

Your painting skill is amazing. The eggplant's skin, especially, look so real. Love their stalk, and Harry's scar really looks like it's a wound from the past. Yeah, dark. *nods affirmatively*.

May I make an icon out of this? Actually, I am totally thinking about making my theme based on all the adorable vegetable art I have been given. That would be mightly awesome.... *schemes*

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

:DDDDD !!! Yes! Dark!Veggie!H/D! Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you like them and their dementedness.

If you wrote a Dark!AU of them, I promise you I'd paint them doing whatever depraved sex act you come up with. Veggie!Bondage, Veggie!Pee, whatever. LOL.

About their expressions, you've got it completely. Sedated yet daring Draco and the calm challenge of Harry. Mmmmmm. I'm excited you like the realism, too!

I imagine the scar came from Voldie dropping Harry, and Harry living through it but having the scar to show for it. *g* Voldie the grocer, fired for his temper. Can your fic get any cooler????

Please feel free to do anything you want with this: icons, themes, whatever!! I think the veggie art theme idea is awesome. I'd love to see the finished product.

That is so adorable. Omg.

....I wanna eat Harry.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey! :D

Haha, I ate a Harry tomato last night...it had a big split on it that I had to cut off, lol!

Oh, that's fantastic! :)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hon!!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Am I totally weird for wanting to squeeze them both to check for ripeness? *G*

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

lol! Not at all, it just means I did my job with the realism. ;D Harry looks a bit overripe to me.

[aliasfanatic04.livejournal.com]

I love this sooooo much. The eyes especially are awesome.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! Glad you really like the eyes. :D

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

[mtranc3.livejournal.com]

Oh I love that fic! It's great to see artwork for it :):):) Hee, I like how you incorporated Harry's scar to his tomato!forhead :)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! I'm glad you liked this and the way I did Harry's tomato!scar!! :D

[stupid-drawings.livejournal.com]

Tomato icon approves of this surrealism!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Thank you, hon! (That has to be the coolest icon. OMG.)

[yumekutteikt.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is awesome! I adore your still-life, surrealistic take of the original fic(which I love so much, too)!!:-D Aww, I want this painting hanging on the wall on my living room.^^

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

I'm delighted you like my take on the fic, and I can't believe you'd want this on your living room wall - that's so cool! :D Thank you!!

[lotus-lizzy.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, those eyes are so creepy and just so awesome!!! I love them so much!!! I am a fan of the veggie!slash, so well done! :) Beautiful veggies, although I fear they may jump off this screen and come and eat me!!!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha!! Quite creepy, yes!! Thank you, darling. :D

[suichis-water.livejournal.com]

I remember reading this! And I'm not sure why but Draco seems be staring creepily.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

HAHA! He certainly is staring creepily. :-D Thank you!
