[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Title: Watercolor
Artist: sylvaticginger
Prompt Number: 127 submitted by blithelybonny
Kink Showcased: Tattoo
Rating: G
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: [Prompt: Draco becomes a tattoo artist after getting a few to cover up his Dark Mark. But Harry is his favorite human canvas.]

"No, I don't want to use colored ink on your back..."
Draco leaned forward, and whispered in Harry's ear
"I want to fill it in, with my brush... over and over again."

Warnings: None. Maybe this is just a bit too...  lame?
Artist's Notes: I had a lot of help with this, and a lot of fun! Thank you akatnamedeaster and sophie_french! Watercolor is a difficult medium for me, but I couldn't very well avoid it given my chosen approach, could I?!

This is so beautiful and so delicate, bebé. Harry's legs are stunning, I can't stop looking at those trousers and the sole of his foot, they are mesmerising.

I woke up a little while ago and was tossing and turning, so I decided to get up and find somethng to distract me. And this is just perfect!

I love it, beautiful. <33!

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

YAY for distracting a fellow insomniac! I was really nervous about this one, you know! I mean - putting watercolors in the right place is as easy for me as putting a squid in a string bag!

Thank you!

[gracerene]

This is gorgeous! Love the coloring, the watercolor works wonderfully here. And that kiss!! :D

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so happy you like it! :D

[akatnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

This came out beautifully and in such a difficult medium. I really like the way you did the shading on Harry's jeans and the amazing amount of detail you put into his tattoo. Fantastic work hon! :)

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It wouldn't have been possible without you, you know that don't you?! *hugs*

[ldydark1.livejournal.com]

Love the colors, love the detail, per excellent!

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! <3

You stuffed up on those warnings all right - where's the "Stunning", "Amazing", and "shows true passion in a beautiful manner"?

Your penance is to have to read our appreciation of your incredible work. Suffer!

*tosses pillow*

Thank you so much! Your compliments make me blush and wonder if it's really my picture you are talking about!

[raitala.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! I love watercolour and not that many fans artist use it. I bet this looks even more stunning 'in the flesh'. I hope you do more :)

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It feels extra special since you are an amazing watercolor artist and soinspiring! I've also noticed that it's rare - but you must have seen this (and if you haven't - go look, even if it's not HP!):

Thank you so much! But yeah - it's lame! It's a sexual kink that I chickened out and managed to tone down to a G rating! Isn't that lame?!

*hugs*

[birdsofshore]

That's lovely! I really like the texture of Harry's hair, and the delicate brushes. The colours on Harry's back are beautifully vivid. I love their pose - the way they're both so into the kiss, and Harry's raised foot.

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It makes me so happy that you like it!

[capitu]

This is beautiful! I love the colour and their embrace. And god, Draco's legs go on and on and on. ;) I love it!

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Long legs can be really yummy! <3

[herumtreiber.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous artwork! Love the colors on Harry's tattoo and their embrace :)

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy that you like it!

[anemonen.livejournal.com]

Beautiful work! I love the colours and the softness of it <3

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much - and I hope you had a fantastic sjuttonde maj!

[starduchess.livejournal.com]

If that's your idea of "lame", I'll take it! Wow, fully sensual and sexy. Fantastic kiss. And the bird tattoo is lovely and big and colourful.

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I think I was referring to the fact that I managed to turn a sexual kink into a G rating! LOL! I'm so happy you liked it, and for you kind words about my picture!

[digthewriter]

I can't believe i didn't comment.

It's gorgeous.

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! <3

Oh I love so many things about this! Watercolour is just one of my most favourite mediums, and you've really used it to its strengths.
I love that Harry is up on his toes, the whole pose is so lovely, with Draco's palm curling around his neck (and I love that he is still holding his paintbrushes.)
The idea itself is so wonderful as well, and you portrayed it so simply, it's easy to create a narrative.
Such beautiful work!

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I find watercolors hard and unforgiving to work with. I love your comment, and it feels extra special since you are such and awesome artist. Thank you!

I absolutely love this, from the perfect title to their pose, the kiss and the gorgeous peacock painting Draco did on Harry's back. For some reason I am wholly enamoured with their jeans, and Draco's leather shoes and that Harry is on tip toe and barefoot (I think... ;)). You did such an awesome job with the watercolour - there is such a vivid lightness to the colours, even on the computer screen. Thank you!

Re: Watercolor

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you! What a wonderful comment! Yes, Harry is barefoot ;-) I have a thing for bare chest, bare feet and jeans and I'm quite sure this won't be the last time I force this upon the community!

I do love watercolors, and yours is positively gorgeous. Their hair is very well done and I love that Draco has two brushes in his hand.

I love the jeans - Bravo.

[alexicyn.livejournal.com]

Simply Gorgeous!

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[lokifan]

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the colours and how closely they're pressed together.

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wanted them to feel eager!

[0idontknow0]

Oh, I'm loving this! And I adore watercolour! (Even if I can't use it for the life of me)

[sylvaticginger.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And watercolour - I can get so angry with it! It seldom cooperates!
