ART: A Late Winter Night (Harry/Draco - PG)

[mini_fest_mod]

Title: A Late Winter Night
Author/Artist: sugareey
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Prompt: 2017- Harry accidentally overhears Draco's Christmas wish and decides to fulfill it, 2009- New Year's Eve
Art Medium: Digital
Rating: PG
Contains (Highlight to view): *An almost kiss? I'll leave that up to you. :)*
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended
Notes: Decided to interpret these prompts broadly, and these two boys caressing each other was the first thing that came to mind. Happy New Year, and I hope you enjoy! Also, Draco has a bad ass look (but I like it).
Summary: Harry and Draco are at Seamus' flat for a new year's eve party and end up having a few drinks. For once, they're getting on with each other and start feeling sleepy as the night goes on. It's only when they move into a quieter room that Harry remembers Draco's wish of wanting to lie next to someone and hold them. Harry tries to make it happen, even though it doesn't quite go the way he imagined.

BURY ME WITH THIS ART.

Amazing artistry. Love everything about this: their pose, the details, Harry's jumper, the hand holding, THE HAIR. It's perfect and wonderful.

gosh! this is amazing!! i love the style!! the dynamic strokes and the hatching (is that the word?!) the colours, or lack thereof, the way you use shadows, the pose, the angle and the composition!!

you put them exactly on the diagonal of the picture, which creates a wonderful dynamic. but you chose an angle and a close-up that's quite intimate. 

i love the choice of their clothes and how you coloured them invertedly. it emphasizes even more that Harry is the Ying to Draco's Yang. Opposites in every way that complete each other perfectly.

i love how they are both using the other one's arm as a cushion. but while Draco is actually sleeping, Harry can't help himself and looks at Draco... probably for hours... while holding Draco's hand in one hand... and probably playing with Draco's hair with the other one.

their faces, their hair and the details are absolutely stunning and very realistic. you capture draco's vulnerability (despite his badass ponytail) and harry's longing marvelously!!

[edit: and draco is wearing a t-shirt while harry is wearing the long-sleeved pullover!! draco is not hiding his mark which is even slightly visible, but he has his arm tightly curled around his stomach. which adds to the overall look. is he cold? is it an automatic reflex to protect hiimself?
i love that his face is turned towards harry. as if the were talking (or kissing?) before Draco fell asleep. absolutely lovely!]

i can't wait to see more from you ❤❤❤ and i'll definitely get back to you about this piece here! i'd love to feature it (including a proper review) in a project i'm putting together right now. more infos after the reveal ❤❤❤

So gorgeous! I love how it is simultaneously sketchy and polished! The color palette creates such a perfect atmosphere. Really lovely work with their poses <3

Damn, this art looks absolutely stunning! Brilliant work, MA!❤

[nia_kantorka]

Wow, that's just gorgeous. I love the many details and how they add to the loving and wonderful atmosphere. Some things that are just too precious. Draco's arm slung around himself and his beautiful waistline. Gosh. Also all of Draco's hair and the gold (pastel yellow) that's shining in it (the lashes and brows - *dies*).
I also love Harry's beard and his curls and that little patch of his green eye(s). Then their clasped hands. Boy, I also love both their clothes and how much work must have gone into them.

Dear MA, I hope you will share it everywhere (on tumblr and ao3 maybe deviantart) so as many people as possible are going to see this. It's absolutely fabulous. Thank you for sharing! I'm in awe. ♥

GHOST. I. AM. A GHOST.

you have killed me with this art, and I don't even care. Each time I look at it, there is some additional wonderful tiny detail I see.

i can't wait for the reveal so I can follow and label this with your name. xox

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful!! I love the pose and the detail in Harry's jumper - not to mention him holding Draco's hand!! Fabulous!!!

[tryslora]

Love it!

[birdsofshore]

This is gorgeous. I love the way they both look older and almost world-weary in a way. But finding this moment together. The textures are absolutely beautiful - Harry's jumper, the rumpled softness of Draco's shirt, their hair... ♥

I can't stop looking at it, it's mesmerising. Thank you.
