Happy Birthday, Severus Snape!

[sigune]

Severus Snape is 60 years old today!

Yes, he is sporting a beard and very long hair these days, and he has mostly moved past wand magic so he habitually wears his wand in his hair. I would have drawn a family picture but life would have none of it. I do have a Secret Snape Project this year, which I would dearly like to carry out, time permitting. More about that later, I hope...

Oooh he is growing older gorgeously!

Isn't he just? Nicely done, sigune! Here's hoping time permits you to do your Snape Project!

Thank you!

...I originally wanted to have the Secret Thing ready by the 9th, but that clearly didn't work out. Ah well. 2020 it is.

I'm not a fan of artificial pressure that stifles work. It's supposed to be fun, so if it's fun a bit later, who cares? *shrugs* I'll be looking forward to it whenever you do get around to it. 😊

I do like to think he improves with age :P...

Thank you!

Oh, I love this!

Thank you :D!

He is gorgeous. I love the Japanese take on him, and that he looks his age. He's grown into a very handsome and centred man, I'm happy to observe, even though he still seems to have a bit of a temper.

I love your art. Keeping my fingers crossed you find time for your Secret Snape Project. :)

Thank you very much! ♥

There is a whole story behind this that I'll probably never manage to draw - with Snape travelling around the world to learn about magic and, yes, spending some time at Mahoutokoro, among other places. He comes back with a whole new set of skills, a new dress style and his wand in his hair (the latter after his stint in Africa). Also, a beard :p.

#1 reason Severus looks so relaxed. . . He's not living in Wizarding Britain.
He has gone to one of the Asian Wizarding enclaves to study their potions.
No Dumbledore, no Voldemort, no Potter, no Dunderheaded students who don't want to learn.
He's a happy man now.

Very, very close XD. I do think he's going to have to come back to Britain at some point to have it out with Harry, but not yet ;).

"Have it out" with Harry? Severus Snape does not condescend to "have it out" with worthless dunderheads. The Potter brat (yes, he's still at brat at forty) can live out his life however he pleases, and it is no concern of Snape's.

Sixty year old Severus is gorgeous. Severus Snape is a fine wine; he needs to be aged to reach his true perfection.

Oh, I do hope we'll get to see the Snape Project, but this Birthday Boy is wonderful already!

Thank you! :D

It's an idea I've been toying with for more than a year, so I'd really like to get it done :).
