Art: Remember When...

[akatnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

Artist: akatnamedeaster
Characters/Pairings: Sirius Black/Severus Snape (aged 70-something)
Rating: G
Media: pencil on paper
Content/Warning(s): none
Summary/Prompt: "...we did it behind that tree during the May Day celebration?"
"...you borrowed that Muggle's Jaguar and we did it in the backseat?"
"...we did it on that bench over there, at 4 in the morning under Potter's invisibility cloak?"
A/N: Second attempt at aging these characters up to see if I could draw them very old and very young. Turns out young children and old men aren't all that easy.

I just love this so much!!

[akatnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I had done them this way once before, but it's really hard to make it convincing and still on model to how I draw them.

I love this so so much! I love the grings and eyebrows. :D

Is that hair on their ears? Awesome! <3

Yup, old man Fraggle ears, they lose it up top and then is starts coming out of the ears and nose. :)

Great! You've taken your younger versions of the boys and shown exactly how they would look as old men. Lots of great touches of aging: the knobby knuckles, the bushy eyebrows, the ear hair. Yet (as Shakespeare would say), age has not withered them; you can tell they still have all their snark and wildness.

Considering the supposed longevity of wizards, they probably have a good 30 yeas before they lose the snark and wildness. :)

Not too surprisingly, I'm drawn to Severus especially though they are both great-there is just something about that half-smile that I love. Nicely done.

Thanks, I admit a weakness for Severus with wrinkles and glasses, glad you like him.

You sure make it LOOK easy. Kat, this is BEAUTIFUL. <3

*l* That's because you guys aren't privy to the cursing and erasing. ;) Thanks boo!
