This is so amazing! I landed here through a link to your gallery on therealsnape's LJ and am completely in awe before this wonderful piece! I have a mad crush on Brünnhilde, but that's only part of it. The scene is fitting, the detail amazing; that HORSE, my arse, who'd have thought old Grane was so beautiful. And Brynhild -- wow! Uniform, nose, cleavage, the gorgeous mix of feminine and slightly butch, and I love her hands.
Thank you very much! Apparently my silliest ideas result in the best pictures... I enjoyed drawing and painting this. Grane was tough though - he looked like a Little Pony at first .
I have to confess that I'm very fond of Brynhild. The funniest reaction to her that I ever got was from a young guy who said, "She'd be so hot if only you gave her a smaller nose! Why on earth don't you?!" But her nose is just what it's supposed to be; there's no way I'm changing it .
Have you seen the fanfic "The Hall of Heroes," in which Snape dies in battle and gets carried off to the wrong afterlife by a novice valkyrie who mistakes a half-blood for a half-giant? It's a hoot, especially the Ballad of Severus the Small and his Tiny, Tiny Stick. The following is my own personal version of the chorus:
Oh, the sleek black hair, The giantesses sigh! The high-crowned nose, The giantesses cry! Others may be tall But Severus the Small Beats them all with his tiny, tiny stick. Don't be fooled by his tiny, tiny stick!
Awesome piece!
