This is wonderful. I love the colours you used, the Robin is beautiful, and Severus hair, and Remus open expression. Lovely. :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. :D

Awwwww. I love this, from the tiny detailed borders to the valiant little robin (that parcel must be heavy!) to the contented faces. There's a nice sense of movement about it too, with the three images slanted upwards and to the right, in line with Lupin's outstretched hands. Really nice design.

This is just lovely!! I just love the position of Severus's hand wrapping the books up for Remus, and the graying temples of Remus. And the robin!! Brilliant!

You're so good with those colored pencils, too. There's so much depth in your colors, it's just magnificent!!

It feels like this belongs with a story, but it's a story that we already know.

..it's a story that we already know. And love! :D Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed the drawing.

That's really lovely. The three panels are great, each one telling us a bit of the tale. Nicely done.

This is so sweet! And so well drawn. I love Snape's long hair, and the wrapping paper on the gift. So much beautiful detail! Remus is equally amazing, and the delivery bird is too! I love this:) It gives the sense that they might be lovers, but also they might just be really good friends, and both scenarios are sweet and really speak to Christmas cheer.

This is just beautiful. I love the way the whole composition just takes wing, drawing our eyes and our spirits up as we follow the flight of the bird and the lift of Remus's hands. And Severus's look of fond concentration is priceless.

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. :D

I love this. The composition is so perfect, drawing the attention from lower left to upper right. I love Remus's expression, and the way Snape is so calmly intent on wrapping (and looks so peaceful). And gorgeous colors!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was trying for something sweet and happy for Christmas. :D I'm so glad you liked it.

Gosh, your colouring is so pretty!! I'm swooning! Remus's robes have so many layers of brown and look so bright. :D I LOVE Severus's pose to pieces, and his lovely hand. And that BIRD! *swoon*
