Art: Pride and Truth

[pink_mint]

Title: Pride and Truth
Characters: Harry/Scorpius
Rating: PG-13 (NWS)
Created with: Painter X
Age Disparity: 45/20
Notes: This is a commission for nursedarry as a gift to noeon. It's a scene from Noe's multi-chapter WIP fic, Pride and Truth. Excerpt below. Happy early birthday, Noe darling!

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.

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. ♥

I'm so happy you like this one, sweetheart!!!

The colours were a delight to work with! I love using colour for shading. It's a look I've admired for a long time and I'm just now trying out. I'm also thrilled you think the age disparity is portrayed well enough. You know how I struggled! It's such a subtle thing to try to capture well.

Noe is the nicest thing, and I had the most fun doing this for her with lovely Darry! :) Thank you, babe!

I'm delighted you like this!! I didn't know you're into Harry/Scorpius. :D

I'm so grateful and thrilled you enjoy my artwork and style and look forward to seeing new pieces from me. That excites me more than anything! And I couldn't be anywhere else but here. :)

Thank you, darling!

Oh, I'm so happy you like this. Thank you!

Thank you, babe! OMG, I'm so thrilled I've drawn your Harry again! There are NO WORDS for how cool that is.

U more!

*G* I so would. Any time!

Muah!

Thank you so much, darling! I'm glad you like their expressions!! My biggest concern is proper emotion in the characters and I'm always striving for it, so that's very kind of you to say. :)

Oh, thank you so much!! Their age difference was a challenge for me, so if I was able to portray their ages in a subtle way, I am thrilled!! The story is a treasure, and I was so excited to draw Noe's Harry and Scorp. Mind it's a WIP, but I recommend it! :)

Thank you so much! I LOVE seeing colours used this way, so it was a joy for me to try my hand at it! :)

Oh, wow! I'm so delighted you like my Scorpius and hairy!Hairy! I've never really been a lover of body hair, but I'm becoming more and more fond of a scruffy Hairy. But he always has to have that messy black hair. *G* Thank you so much!

I'm so thrilled you like my use of colour! I'm heavily inspired by other artists who use it much better than me. This is all relatively new dabbling, so I'm sort of flying by the seat of my pants. It's all practiced instinct, really. Choppy painting is what I'm naturally inclined to do, so I've adapted a colouring style suited for it. But taking all that into consideration, I would love to make a tutorial if you'd like one! :)

Oh, you nice thing! Your words always make me so happy. I'm glad you liked this. Thank you, sweetie! *beams*

I'm glad you like this, darling. Thank you so much!!

I'm very grateful that Darry asked me to do this and that Noe likes how I've drawn her Harry and Scorpius. It's a wonderful feeling! :)

*hearts*

Thank you! :)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you think Harry's looking good in this! :) Hair has to be the most relaxing thing for me to draw. It's something I usually don't have to think much about, which is a blessing for me as I'm often anxious over every detail. ;) Thank you so much!

Mmmmyes, Harry should always be scruffy :D

And yes, I'd love to see a tutorial :D I've been experimenting with different brushes and colours lately but I just can't figure out how you do it *pouts* :D

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

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

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetheart! The colours were really a lot of fun to experiment with, and I'm glad you like the effect. I'm also delighted you like Harry with his scruff and how Scorpius looks more innocent. :)

If this makes you intrigued to read Noe's wonderful fic, than I couldn't be happier!

*loves*

Thank you so much, darling! I'm so happy you like Harry with his scruff and chest hair and bits of grey and that you think Scorpius looks young but not too young, which was just what I was after. :)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad Scorpius looks comfortable resting on Harry and that you like Harry's slightly furrowed eyebrows. Thank you, darling! :)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Ah, portraying their age difference was a bit of a struggle. I'm sorry it doesn't look quite like Harry and Scorp to you, but I'm delighted you like it anyway! :)

Thank you so much!! I'm really happy you like scruffy Harry and think the colours bring different lighting and have an interesting effect - that's fantastic. :)

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, my darling!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, sweetheart! :) I'm thrilled you like Harry!!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Awww, you think my Scorpius is perfect? I'm so happy!

Thank you, love! :)
