And The Water Runs Red

Description

A LiveJournal thingy is going on, pairing up artists with writers (I think it's done now, so ll us artists and writers are getting on with our missions) - I got paired up with Colouredlights ([link]) and had a choice of two of her stories to illustrate. I chose 'And The Water Runs Red' - a H/D slash/death fic that really got me inspired. It's a wonderful fic - go and read it: ===> [link]

Anyway - about the image! Original sketch can be found here: [link]

This is obviously Draco (though I'm annoyed I drew him slightly too young.. meh) he's in the psyche ward of St Mungos in Wizarding London. And obviously, he's self harming, but he's doing it because he has nothing to write with, and he needs to get his story out.

I drew this ENTIRE thing in PSCS! I'm so happy with my tablet ^^ I used three layers - one for the line art, one for the colours and one for the blood - and am actually really happy with how it turned out.

Tools: PSCS and X-Pen tablet - no reference

I remember this pic from several years ago. I think the writer of Green Eyes was inspired by it or something. I can't find the fic anymore, but I remember Harry was attacked possibly killed and they thought Draco had done it. Draco was innocent of course, but he was so traumatised by the incident he wound up in the psych ward. It was interesting to see this again.
