Ode to fan portrayals of Severus Snape, with links.

[valis2]

I love Severus Snape.

I love his snarky, twisted, peevish, nasty little sonofabitch heart. I love his dark, sarcastic, snarling, growling, did-he-or-didn't-he, black-eyed soul.

And I love that so many other people love him too.



I love karasu_hime's ethereal, delicate, long-haired, luminous and beautiful Severus (warning: Slash). Karasu's site

I love undunoops's mature, knowing Severus (slash pic, nothing graphic). Undun's site

I love pen_and_umbra's adorable rar-teeth Severus.

I love snapesforte's haunting, dark portraits of Severus. She captures a sneering, bitter Snape so perfectly, lets us glimpse his petty, spiteful nature, and his complicated, conflicted soul. She sees his canon faults so clearly, and embraces him fully. Her Deviantart profile Her site

I love kellyl's sly, schoolboy Severus, so sure of himself, plotting away. Her site

I love nebulaean's subtle portrait of Severus, young, doubtful, thinking of his fresh Dark Mark. Site

I love djinniyah's crackling, fiery, otherworldly portraits of Severus. She brings out a mystical dimension, illustrates with poetry and passion. Her Severus is knowing, calculating, enigmatic, and thoroughly haunting.

I love ac1d6urn's strong, cautious Severus, but I might be a bit biased about this, I admit (*grins*). This illustration of Severus is probably the closest to Severus in my own mind that I've seen. Deviantart profile

I love Anneth's contemptuous yet thoughtful Severus, suspicious, proud, yet with an undercurrent of doubt. Site

I love nasubionna's perfectly poised, sharp, and long-fingered Severus. Site

I love lizardspots's contemptuous, powerful Severus, intriguing yet distanced. Deviantart profile

I love mysduende's fabulously in-control movie!canon Snape, his face perfectly composed, arrogant, and completely in charge. Site

I love saridout's unrepentant, hostile Severus, brooding and looking ready to curl his lips. Site

I love ildi_bp's Severus, frightened, determined, his past shadowing him forever. Deviantart profile

I love linnpuzzle's knowing, mistrustful Severus. Site

I love snapekisser's studious, confident young Severus. Site

I love redscharlach's absolutely awesome Art Nouveau Severus. Site

I love Egyptian Mau's powerful, dark-lined Severus, all hostile and competent.

I love Meg's vibrant, purposeful Severus. Site

I love lunulet's shy, proud young Severus, sharing his Dark Mark with the viewer. Site

I love gmonkey42's fun, devillish Severus. Site

I love Didodikali's wistful, gentle,sweet Severus. Site

I love tapedeck's wickedly humorous or dark Severus illustrations. Site

I love Syrena Doné's haunted, dark Severus. Site

I love _noesumeragi_'s dazed, anime-style Severus. Site

I love brevisse's sweet, grinning Severus.

I love caladan_dd's angular, dark-eyed, and powerful Severus.

I love celestialsoda's art; however, the site is down, and I couldn't find anything. Site

I love khames's lovely Severus (warning, slash, nothing graphic). Deviantart profile

I love glockgal/glockart's dramatic, clotheshorse Severus.

I love lberghol's "hrrmph!", cool as a cucumber Severus. Site

I love ledivinemarquis's icy, cold, hot, mature, snarling Severus. Site

I love nassima's canon, absorbed, deeply caught in thought, greasy-haired Severus.

I love odyssey01's quiet Severus, marking his essays austerely. Deviantart profile

I love snapes_patronus's rather composed, glittering-eyed Severus.

I love tbranch's slyly malicious, smirking Severus. Deviantart profile

ETA: I love sigune's brooding, dark-thought-thinking Severus. Deviantart profile

I love Subtilior's hesitant, studious Severus, pausing in a moment of study to wonder who might be watching him. Deviantart profile

Ah, the many sides of fanart!Snape.



Of course this wasn't anywhere on my list of Things to Do, but it completely consumed me today, so here it is. If you find any links that aren't working please let me know.

Nice pics!!! I really need to work on my Severus renditions...got a couple ideas...

I have added to memories to explore other links more later...

[sylvadin.livejournal.com]

Impressive list! And to think that most people believe Severus' expressions are limited to sneer and smirk...

[valis2.livejournal.com]

:) Glad you enjoyed!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Heh...not Severus...he has plenty of expressions! ;)

[karasu-hime.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! It's wonderful to see all the different artstyles and yet they are all snape. Thanks for having me here, too!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

You are terrific! I love your art so much.

[vanityfair00.livejournal.com]

This is great! As an author I don't run into artists as often as I would like, but now I have a few more added to the friend list. Thanks.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Glad to help! ;)

[snapesforte.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much for twirling your pimp stick my way. I always appreciate it. :-)

And my, what a list! I can't wait to have enough time to examine the lot. *adds to memories*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

You are so worth the pimp stick, dahling. A hundred thousand pimp sticks, in fact. ;)

[snapesforte.livejournal.com]

*finger waves*

:-D

[b2wm.livejournal.com]

So many nice Snapes... And Anneth did Belgariad/Discworld/LotR/HP crossover art. Excuse me while I go squee.

[todayiamadaisy]

Can I give a plug? I beta read for the lovely Sigune, who also does fan art - you can see her Snape here on her profile page and there's more inside the LJ as well. (She also writes a good Snape too.)

[ledivinemarquis.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks for add me to the list. It was sweet. :) and I have been checking the other authors and I loved each of them. So different but so Snape at the same time...

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Too awesome, huh? So much fun to see all the talent on the internet.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, lovely! *runs off to add*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

He has a core that most artists capture, but you all add your own little special touches, which is what art is about...giving each piece a bit of your own personality/spirit/etc.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_noesumeragi_/]

I've added your post to my memories... This is a quite impressive list!!! Thank you for sharing it with us, and let us enjoy so many severus... :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_noesumeragi_/]

And thanks for pimping me! that is one of my oldest and cherished drawings... :)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

No problem...you're quite talented! I had a lot of fun putting together the entry and drooling all over the fanart. ;)

[annecatherine.livejournal.com]

You rock so much for posting all these links. I must catch up and admire all of them.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

They are quite delicious. I warn you, you might spend hours gazing into obsidian eyes...

[mysduende.livejournal.com]

I go away from LJ for a little bit and what do I come back to? Why, some lovely plugging of my artwork by valis2, that's what. Thank you, m'dear! i'm glad that my Tango!Snape brings to mind the essence of Severus for you. :)

Btw, I'm currently working on some new artwork using a wacom stylus rather than plain ole pencil. So I hope to have those up some time in the near future.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've been drooling, thinking of what new joys you will bestow upon us...you are awesome!

I'm glad you saw this entry...there are a lot of cool fanartists with wonderful interpretations of Snape, and I still love tango!Snape so very much, and was glad to mention it.

[scatter-muse.livejournal.com]

you forgot Yukipon's awesomely sexy Snape!

[athenakt.livejournal.com]

A wonderful wonderful list of Snape art! This is going to take me a while to go through them all; a gleefully long while! Thank you so much for the effort you put into the links and including the artist websites!

*Adds to memories*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Absolutely no problem! And look for the h/c recs...coming in a month or so.

[athenakt.livejournal.com]

Woo! If it's as long as this post was, I'll be in H/C heaven for some time (though I've already read lots ;).

*bounces in anticipation*
