PLEASE FULL VIEW!!

Well, the origins of this piece needs a bit of explaining, I think. A few years ago I heard Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" for the first time in a very long time, and it moved me. For some reason it inspired a Lucius/Narcissa story in my head, but at the time I was far too behind in my multiple stories to add another one to the list. So I doodled the idea and let it be for a couple more years. Then last year I drew it, and my dear friend Lallie fell in love with it and told me which colours I could not use. It sat around for another year until I finally got to colouring it recently. I gave it to Lallie as her 21st B-Day pressy (Plus a David Bowie CD).

Now onto the picture itself. I used several photo references to draw this one, including a dress from the 1870s. I am unhappy with a few things in the drawing itself, but I think the colouring makes up for it, even if I had to fight it every step of the way. It turned out a lot different from what I expected, but I still like it, though I do have issues with the background. I need to draw better backgrounds... Bah. Anyhoo, tell me what you think of all the Malfoyness.

Ink, Pencil, Pencil Crayons, and Copic Markers.

The lighting is amazing, it's as if they're on stage under the spotlight. I love that dress Narcissa is sporting as well.

I like the shadows around their faces. That's what jumped out at me first. A very lovely piece :)

Lovely, lovely coloring. I really admire Narcissa's dress. Beautifully vintage. Definitely worth a :+fav:! :)

If you say you're right, then you must be right. But I still refuse to believe in you.

What's that you say? You know my faults? You have the cure?

Pffft! Full view, woman please, I'll just come over and look at its hotness. XD I like it, though I think if you re-did this bigger, an experiement with paints would be very very cool. ^_~
