starduchess | art recs for Snarry Swap (Reply)

Aha! Reveals are up over at

snape_potter for this year's Snarry Swap.

Here are my art recs. Please note they are all NWS!

A Hot Shower by

snapy_90 . The style reminds me of anime without the big eyes. Love the sideways slant to the image and the feeling of the water sliding down their backs.

After the Sacrifice by

veridari . Something about this piece really hints at the fullness of the fic it was drawn for, maybe it's the Stonehenge setting, maybe it's the crow in the upper corner, maybe it's the darkness that suggests the lateness of the event, but whatever it is, I likey!

I Found You in the Dreamland - Green by

sealcat . It's white and green pencil on black paper and it's absolutely ethereal. Really gorgeous and peaceful and eternal. Go look!

Severus Snape and the Samurai's Sword by

majmunka . Totally hilarious! Perfect emulation of Japanese erotic art with a Snarry twist. Amazing how well the artist managed to mesh these two cultures.

Up Against the Wall by

pennswoods . Lovely in its kinks: light bondage, wall!sex, cuddling. There is so much tenderness and contentment in both characters and both pieces. Well done, dear!

What Must Be Done by ponderosa121. More great kinks: wax-play, nipple pinching, vampire bites. The ambiance of the art is startling, the play of light and shadow, the floating candles, the red and green magic -- all of it wonderful. The bodies are well drawn, too.

And, of course, let us not forget my very own gift by the talented

venturous1 , You Belong to Me, Now. All Dark-lovers should squee at this one! Severus' defeat and resignation is palpable, and Harry's eyes and smirk are devious. The freshly-imprinted tattoo is to die for! See icon above for the preview!

Now, if I could ever finish reading through the fics ...
