Snape websites

• Dark Potions: One of my two favorite Snape sites. mysduende has a lovely collection of photos, recommendations, and links to fanfiction. The two standout areas (in my mind) are: the "Weekly Reads", where she writes detailed reviews of Snape!fics, and the "Frockcoat Fetish", where she devotes several photos to exploring the loveliness that is movie!Snape's wardrobe. A great site, top-notch, indispensible for those who love Snape.


• Designer Potions: My other favorite Snape site. snapesforte has pulled out all the stops in creating a canon!Snape extravaganza. She is redesigning the site right now, and it is Flash-based, be warned. It's absolutely worth it to check it out. The standout here, besides the creative interaction on the site (reminds me of JKR's site!), is her "Sleuthing" section. This is an exhaustive resource, and a must-read. She has numerous essays on nearly every aspect of the Potions master. She covers theories, facts, language, clothes...really, it's excellent.


• Grusha's Severus Snape: An amusing site featuring an Automatic Detention Dispenser and the Pants Game, which has some amusing moments.


• Snapey Screencaps: Just what it says; high quality screencaps from the HP movies featuring Snape.


• Severus Snape's Slytherin Society: Lots of links, photos, and artwork.


• Logospilgrim's Site: Pics of logospilgrim's costuming work and many pics of her dressed as Snape in various settings including cemeteries. The site has strong religious overtones.

Fanart Non-LJ links that take you to galleries/individual works

• Edgeworlds: art by Anneth Lagamo. Gorgeous, beautiful colors, some Severus/Hermione art. A couple great sketches of Proud!Severus here.


• Nasubionna: Laura Freeman's art. Elegant, many of the illustrations look like they should appear as illustrations for the books. She draws a lot of canon scenes that are terrific. here is one of my favorites.


• Elfwood: Loke Mei Yin Severus with the DE mask.


• Deviantart: Lizard-spots: An amazing artist, whose subjects look so natural and caught in the middle of their actions. Some art features slash. Definitely has a sense of humor.


• gammayokko: Unusual artist, not too many Snape pieces.


• Synchresta Duende: Beautiful pieces, lovely lines. SS/OFC in many drawings. Amazing piece of Snape doing the tango with an OFC really captures something about him that comes out in many SS/OFC works. I love that drawing. I may not want Snape to tango, but if he does, that's it right there. mysduende


• Saridout: Lively, energetic art. Also features slash in some pieces. I like this piece.


• Deviantart: Ildi: Beautifully colored, lovely work. My favorite piece. Detailed, careful artwork. Also does slash art. ildi_bp


• Linnpuzzle: Glowing work, beautiful. linnpuzzle


• Deviantart: Snapesforte: Her line drawings are great. I like them all; it's nearly impossible to pick one to click, but I'll try: this one and this one are my favorites. See, I told you I couldn't pick just one. snapesforte


• Karasuhime: Beautiful, delicate drawings with ethereal colorings and a lively nature. Most feature slash. karasuhime


• Elyse: Beautiful drawings of Snape/OFC. Beautiful Snapes. My favorite. snapekisser


• Redscharlach: Aubrey Beardsley style Snape is here and I love it. One or two other Snapes as well. Spare, strong lines.


• Egyptian Mau: black & white, long-lined and spare work with Severus as the subject by a Russian artist.


• Only Slightly Evil: by M. Bold lines, strong style, few Severus images. Probably my favorite is this great image.


• The Marauders Comics: Cute and sweet, by ac1d6urn.


• Deviantart: firefly: Also ac1d6urn. Amazing, amazing art, beautiful, lush, glowing work. You can almost feel the magic.


• Lunulet: Lovely art. She does a marvelous job with owls. Not a lot of Snape, but many other pieces worth looking at.


• Pirate Monkeys: Really fun Snape art. Her Naked Snape cartoon is hysterical, and her Mary Sue cartoon is legendary.


• Didodikali: Beautiful, full of light, her art is lovely.


• Lara: Strong lines, powerful, intense drawings, and wicked dry wit. tapedeck


• Snitchhitter: Many styles, very, very clean work, lovely. snitchhitter


• Syrena's art: Fabulous drawings of canon!Snape, including a (justifiably) famous Snape-in-the-bathscene.

Fanart LJ artists (most have links on their info page) (Some art may feature slash, or adult content)

• ac1d6urn Gorgeous, amazing art, I love her work. Here is her coloring of a gwyllion piece.


• adamasoda Work with an amazing raw sensuality, powerful.


• aerynstales Draws illustrations for her SS/OFC work.


• brevisse Lovely art, her Severus is awesome. This is an amazing collaboration between Isis and Brevisse about Snape and his life, haunting, poignant, and beautifully done.


• djinniyah One of my favorites, absolutely. Her art has such a raw, edgy feel to it, and the use of color is amazing. It is vibrant and powerful.


• gwyllion Beautiful art, all available for viewing at gwyll_junk. Another artist who fills her work with light. Does some funny work, and some poignant work.


• karasu_hime As I said about her gallery above...lovely, ethereal, sweet drawings.


• nassima Not a lot of Snape. Slash! Has a passionate style and captures erotica quite well.


• nix___ Lovely sketchwork.


• pen_and_umbra Her photo-shopping skills have to be seen to be believed. They look like real ads. Witty, and perfectly composed.


• sapphiresnape Her minature Snape office is astonishing!


• scarah2 Stick art has never been so amusing.


• serpenatrix Her funny Alan Rickman montages (complete with amusing commentary) never fail to make me laugh.

I know little to nothing about artwork; these are the recommendations of an inexperienced but enthusiastic Snape-a-holic. I hope you enjoy looking through some of the art. I hope I have not offended anyone with my less-than-proper terminology.
