The Sleeper's Den

Beardless Snape and Brynhild. I have to say, I feel slightly ashamed for persisting with the dreaded Snape/OFC, even in my more mature years, but seriously, Snape and Brynhild do belong together in my head and I really can't think of any more comforting scenario. Probably because my imagination is very limited.

Oooh, what an exciting time to be back in fandom! Having signed up for hoggywartyxmas, I saw that snapecase is making a return too! Squee! I wish the sign-ups were open already! *dances*


snapecase: Celebrating Severus Snape throughout his ages!

Meanwhile, have a piccy. As you can see, no pencils were harmed in the making of this, because it was drawn directly with ballpoint pen in my notebook, hence the wonky chair. I hope to post some stuff from art school to show how I have been getting on - you'll see we haven't been doing perspective yet ;).



This is where I am with my imagining Snape's life after the Battle of Hogwarts. He has spent 20 years visiting all known (and some unknown) wizarding schools and has been studying magic intensively. Now he is ready to carry out his masterplan of founding a wizarding university. Desmond Avery has been using his network to raise funds, and Brynhild has been concentrating on drawing up the statutes and looking into the legal and organisational side of things.

The machine at my coffee place broke down twice last week. But I did get one cappuccino, in a paper bag. And I drew more Darksome Trio sketches.

Today's edition of the Paper Bag Files is entirely Snape-centric :D. The thing is, I will be participating in severusbigbang, but I haven't drawn any fanart for ages. Work sucked up my life and I all but drifted away from fandom. It was high time I got my hand in again. Fortunately HBP: the Movie brought a lot of good Snapey memories back to me, and I noticed that I started doodling the Potions/DADA/Headmaster again.

I find that I have a lot of things to sort out for the Big Bang. When I had just read DH, I was so aghast that I decided to ignore canon forever and stick to my guns Snape. In the meantime that feels like cheating. If I can't come to terms with canon, can I still call myself a Snape fan? Snape is also DH-Snape. I am fine with that now. But it does demand quite a bit of story re-orientation.

My usual way of sorting out my characters and stories is by doodling. So that is what I did. On paper bags. Below are a few results.
