ART: "In Death, We Create Our Own Peace", Severus/Lily, NWS

[gentlehag]

Title: In Death, We Create Our Own Peace
Pairing: Severus/Lily
Rating: R, NWS
Warnings: Rating for blood, full-female nudity; character death implied.
Notes: This is my daily_deviant September art (now located at Daily_Deviant @ InsaneJournal). It's "Please Your Mod" month over there and the pairing was free; I'm still on that Snily kick. Kink chosen: love. :D :D This is supposed to represent the exact moment that Severus Snape dies; has he created his own peace, or has Lily really finally come back to him?
Disclaimer: The characters shown here are property of JK Rowling; I make no money from this and I intend no copyright infringement. Lily Evans and Severus Snape are over the age of 18.

+ If you're interested, you can see some of the process I went through with my art beta, kittehkat, here. Everything I do starts off looking so terrible! Snape looked like Edward Scissorhands! Needless to say, his face changed a lot.
+ Based on this sketch that I did a few weeks back.
+ To get me in the right mood, this piece was created while listening to this song, and only this song, on repeat: over and over again. For days. Weeks, even. Ave Maria Salus Hominum. It's a really beautiful, sort of ethereal version. I have no idea who it is. At yousendit.com; it'll expire in seven days; comment if you need me to re-upload.
+ Total time to complete: Fourteen days, off and on.

Here are close ups:

Please don't kill me, but I forgot to mention to add a bit of green to the blood to make it darker and more realistic, particularly in the neck wound.

BUT SERIOUSLY, ZOMG. You made me like het! LIKE it, not even tolerate it! X) Lily is absolutely stunning. Gaaaah. I adore Sev's face, too, still.

Ok, so really, you are amazing. The end. X)

I feel retarded for not realizing right away who the woman was. This is gorgeous. It captures those last words of Snape's perfectly.
