I received loads of suggestions to celebrate Snape's birthday by dedicating today's DD to him, their enthusiasm was such that I had to oblige! Severus Princeps occultus by *AnCatDubh is a wonderful tribute to this character! Happy 50th birthday Snape! ~Preseli wrote: "I particularly like it because it captures in a serious portrait the essence of what fascinates so many fans, without in any way bending his canon appearance." *northangel27 wrote: "Everything about this oil is superb, the lighting, the symbolist elements, the perfect anatomy. The artist demonstrates phenomenal technical skill at portrait painting, and manages to capture the character's essence, while at the same time, telling his whole story with a wonderful economy of symbols. This piece is a true treasure for the Harry Potter fanart community!"

Description

I hadn't done any fanarts for *years*, and I must say I had a lot of fun doing this one!! I read HP well after everybody else (this summer) and so got all excited about it ... well after everybody else! It's really frustrating but that will teach me to be an elitist! Severus was my favourite character quite early on though, and Harry and Ron really got on my nerves haha... Mainly Harry...

Anyway, I decided to enter it into =northangel27's contest : [link]

This is oil on canvas, 30x30cm.

Severus Snape belongs to J.K.Rowling
