Art: Manacles of Youth (PG)

[pink_mint]

Today is my first fandom anniversary since rejoining in the fun! On this day last year I posted Mudhoney. Has it really been a year? It seems like less because time flies when much fun is had, and it seems like more because I feel like I've been a part of you all as if I'd never left. This year is also my sixth year since knowing about and being a part of fandom.

So this is a thousand thank yous to all for a fantastic year, and here's to many more!

Beautiful ♥ Your Harry is my Harry - I love how you capture him soooo much!!

Is it really only a year? It feels you've been around heaps longer than that - and in a really good way too :D

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie!! That makes me feel so wonderful.

It really does seem longer! I was just talking with Alaana about this. :-D

That is STUNNING!!! Your highlighting is just perfect. just gorgeous.

I clearly remember the day you posted that Mudhoney art, sweetheart. We are blessed to have you. ♥

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Yay!! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like the highlighting. :-)

I'm blessed to be here.

Wow, beautiful! This Draco is something of a departure from your 'regular' template. Is he based on someone? He is less soft and more angular here. Very imposing indeed.

A year? Is that all? It seems so much longer. Well done for managing to stay both sane and productive.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm delighted Draco looks imposing! That's a great impression and description. I think it's really the harsh lighting that makes him look more angular.

Ha, thank you, darling! :-D

[creme-bun.livejournal.com]

Perfect. In every way possible.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful. Harry, especially, is lovely - I love the line of his jaw, and his lips. Well done!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you like Harry, his lips and his jaw. :-)

God. That is gorgeous. Draco is just... GUH. And you can feel the imprisonment. It's beautiful, darling, BEAUTIFUL.

We are so much richer for you. \0/ Happy anniversary! *smooshes*

That's so sweet, darling. Thank you! *hugs*

So beautiful... I love Harry--his eyes! He seems so very real. It's unbelievable. And Draco resting on Harry's arm... so sweet, saying so much with one little gesture. I just adore this. Wow.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad Harry seems real to you, wow! And I'm also glad you like their pose and can see meaning in it. :-)

I like the lighting in this, it makes it seem more... soft. I could spend the rest of the day just staring at this, it's so beautiful.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

That's so lovely to hear! Thank you! I'll cherish those words. And I'm glad you like the lighting. :-)

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Guh. So very gorgeous! Draco's lips look like they're just aching to be kissed. What an awesome anniversary gift for us all!!!

Hehe... I still can't believe it's only been a year. Although I do remember you posting that mudhoney piece like it was yesterday. Time is a funny thing, isn't it?!?!

*snuggles and ties you down for another 6 years at least*

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, sweetheart!! I think Draco's definitely wanting a smooch. :-D

Yes, time is such a funny thing!! *snuggles and stays happily put*

This is utterly beautiful. I'm particularly in awe of Harry; the tilt of his chin/jaw and the way he looks at Draco are so utterly beautiful.

Re: Manacles of Youth

Your work never fails to move me. We are so lucky to have you in this fandom.

That is darling of you! Thank you! I'm so very pleased. :-)

[brissygirl.livejournal.com]

Absolutely GORGEOUS sweetie!

They look so peaceful and I love the way they are looking into each others eyes, the pouty-ness of their lips.

The moment you've captured is so full of love and contentment, I can't stop staring at it.

Fabulous job darling!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

What sweet compliments! I'm delighted you like those longing looks and pouty lips. Thank you so much, sweetie! :-D

[lmusic.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[okydoky.livejournal.com]

Absolutely breathtaking. ♥

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey!

[lonewhiterose.livejournal.com]

Good god almighty, I'm in love with you. Seriously.
Never EVER stop drawing/painting/whatever you do. I'm always speechless when I open those bloody links to your art. *SIGH* So beautiful.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Those are the kindest words! Thank you so much! Your encouragement is really inspiring. I'm glad you like my art and that it has an effect on you.

[shuga34.livejournal.com]

This takes me breath away!!! So beautiful!

[shuga34.livejournal.com]

And I just added you as a friend becuase your art is go gorgeous that I want to see it right away when you post it.

Feel free to friend me back.

I really do love your brush strokes and use of colour. It's an orgy for the eyes every time. Draco manages to look rather sharply featured but yet vulnerable here like some sort of pretty glass sculpture. And Harry's handsome in that totally Harry way. The feelings are palpable and you managed to create quite a mood. It's so intimate I feel intrusive.

Oh, and I must say, it's rare to see a curly-haired Draco! It looks like he just took a shower and got dressed before lying down with Harry.

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

I'm basking in your words right now! Draco is like a pretty glass sculpture, and my brush strokes and colours are like an orgy for the eyes? Darling, thank you!!

It's so intimate I feel intrusive.

That's exactly what I'd hoped for!

And I have to say, I am in love with curly-haired Draco. He is a rare thing indeed. I am happily imagining your scenario, with Draco fresh out of the shower and lying next to Harry. :-)
