He flopped heavily onto the mattress and Harry collapsed next to him. Too tired to speak, Scorpius nuzzled his nose into Harry’s neck. Their exhausted bodies nestled together, Scorpius’s arm tenderly draped across Harry’s waist. The sound of Harry's breathing lulled him to sleep.

Absolutely gorgeous :D

Oh, thank you so much! I'm happy you like it. :D

This is gorgeous, Mintsy, but then everything you do is WONDERFUL ♥

Thank you so much, my sweet P!

Wow! Gorgeous Harry!

Thank you! :D

as i said in my comment on noe's journal, i loooooooove the colors in this absolutely gorgeous. when you say painter x, does that mean this is digital? because to my untrained eye this totally looks like pastels or something. i love the way the colors blend together. beautiful.

you artists should get together and explain all the different media to us laypersons! :D i find it so fascinating.

leochi does this sometimes. I'll try to find one of her posts for you.

Thank you, darling! I'm so glad you like the colours! They were really fun to work with. And oh, I'm so ecstatic that this looks like traditional media, like pastels or something! Everything I do is digital, but I love the look of traditional media and strive to make my digital paintings look traditional, so that's wonderful to hear.

I learned how to paint traditionally, and my technique is the same, whether traditional or digital. Painter X is fantastic; it's designed to be so similar to painting traditionally, but digital has extra perks (e.g. no mess/ability to paint whenever I want without prep or clean up, technical things that would be more difficult to do traditionally).

Honestly, I'm often fooled by digital media because it can really look just like traditional (or vice-versa, where I think, oh, that has to be digital, and then I read it's an oil paintin), and I love that.

If you ever have any questions, please ask! :)

so gorgeous! I love the use of the blue in their skin tones, especially our pale little Malfoy.

<3 <3 <3

Thank you! I'm so glad you like the blue in the skin tone and think it goes especially well with darling Scorp.

I love love love love love this Harry! :D

Thank you so much, sweetie! I'm delighted you like him!

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love all of the colours you've used, and their HAIR!!! And their facial expressions! And I'm not usually a facial hair person, but I love Harry's stubble.
They look blissful. *goes to find Noe's story*

Thank you, darling! I'm delighted you like the colours, their hair, and think they look blissful! Yay!

*g* I'm not usually a facial hair (or any body hair, really) person, either, but ... there's something about a scruffy Harry that I'm starting to really like! ;)

Enjoy Noe's story!!!

*FLAIL* You drew Harry/Scorpius!! ♥♥

Bb, this is totally beautiful. I love that you can really tell the age differences. Your Harry always matches up with the Harry in my head.

*g* Oh my!

I'm so glad you like this, sweetie, and think the age difference is shown well! I certainly struggled with that! And I'm thrilled you like my Harry. Thank you!

This is absolutely gorgeous, the colours are stunning! I particularly like Scorpius's hair. They look so peaceful like that. *loves*

Thank you! :) I'm glad you like Scorpius's hair and like that they look peaceful!

Pretty Scorpius is pretty. *stares* Really pretty! *stares some more*

Your use of color is always awesome, but it really jumped out at me in this one. The highlight of the pink from the wall in Scorpius' hair! *starestarestare*

I love the course look of Harry's hair, too. ♥

*g* I'm delighted you think Scorpius looks pretty!

Oh, these colours. I had so much fun!! Glad you like them, and Harry's coarse-looking hair, too! Fantastic. Thank you, babe!

Oh my. That is simply stunning. The colours, the peaceful, exhausted faces, their hair, the tenderness. so, so beautiful.

I'm so glad you like the colours, details, and their expressions! Tenderness ... :) Thank you!

AWWWW!
Like always, I adore the different colours you use, especially for shadows. Reminds me so much of my beloved impressionism.
But colours alone don't create such a beautiful athmosphere; and as ALWAYS, you did it masterfully!
There's love, comfort and ultimate trust in this pic.
I adore the curve of the mouths of both men. Harry seems to be concentrated, slightly tense. I can imagine him stroking his partner's hips tenderly whilst drifting off to sleep.
Scorpius (Draco ? *s*) lips are drawn up to a slight smile, contently he drifts off to sleep in his lover's arms.
I love love love his hairs...
*sighs*

Thank you so much, sweetheart!!! What a darling comment, wow!

I'm always glad you like the colours I've used, and yes, the different colours for the shading - really a lot of fun! You should give it a try! :D

I'm so happy you like the atmosphere, too, with a slightly tense Harry and a contented Scorpius ... :)

*hugs*

You did a wonderful job with this! I love the 5 o'clock shadow on Harry and how peaceful they look.

Thank you!! I'm very glad you like the 5 o'clock shadow on Harry and their peacefulness! :)

First, the background color is just absolutely perfect. The innocent pink background and the blue and pink hues on their bodies compliment the sweet moment. I love their sweet sleeping faces, so relaxed and at peace.

And you know my favorite part? The chest hair! :) I love seeing the boys a little bit more real :)

I'm delighted you like the background colour, and especially Harry's chest hair! I certainly know what you mean. :) Thank you, darling!

*pouts* I wanna see this pic again, but photobucket gives me the 'This image has been moved or deleted' icon-thing.

Do you have it uploaded anywhere else?

*flails* OMG, I'm so glad you let me know, sweetie! I remember now that I did delete it, but I thought that it was an extra one because it was in my WIP folder instead of my finished artwork folder. Silly me!

It's back up now. :-D I'm so excited you wanted to see it again!!
