Thanks Nanda fromR&E forums for the gift

According to BBC News, Rupert Grint is recovering from a mild case of Swine Flu!
I almost had a heart attack when I read this.
The news was confirmed by his publicist to Ice Cream Man.
It seems he's getting better and will be able to attend all the HBP premieres next week.
So if you want to send a message to him, please leave a comment in this entry on the site:

“Glad you feel better” wishes to Rupert


In another note, I posted yesterday a new drawing about Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" books. If you haven't see it yet, click in the picture. I hope you like it!



And at least, Happy 4th July to all Americans in my f-list!!

Hope you all have a good weekend, including you, Rup babe!

“The new love drives out the old”
Anonymous

I’m not sure if this is totally true.
Not for all the cases.
I heard The Beatles for the first time when I was twelve years old and became instantly a beatlemaniac.
After them, a hundred new ones, new passions came and I still love them.
I got married with my first great love and we had three kids.
I only felt that, through the years, my heart was getting bigger and bigger with plenty space for everybody.
It happens here, in LJ, all the time!
Friends that are here with me since the beginning and I know will also be after the new ones that are always coming.
Old friends like Monica, aka spidergirl30 who is celebrating her birthday on July 6th and to whom this picture is dedicated.
We discovered together this new love for Jamie and Claire from Diana Gabaldon’s series "Outlander", but we both know we’ll never give up from our old and great love, Ron and Hermione.

To make a fanart for “Outlander” was a different experience. I came to Ron and Hermione after the movies, so it was easy to picture them, as you know I do, when I’m reading their stories or making fanarts.
Now, with Jamie and Claire, their images are not so clear and definitive to me, it’s like I’m looking for references every time I’m reading them and for me, being a portraitist, this could be a good or a bad thing.
I’m trying my best to have this in my favor, so, I have for this one “very famous” references, and I decided not to confirm them (but would be funny if you give your opinion), because, although this is the most closer I have in mind when I’m reading the books, you know, they can change a little in the future.
Yes, I’m planning to do few more for these books that is my great new love.
To make fanarts for this story is even harder than to do for the Harry Potter series because of the millions of details, that you face while reading them, that aren’t only fruits of a great author’s imagination, but also historical facts.
I still have so much to study and research but this is the great challenge in to work for them.
And if you never read them, please don’t wait more!
Hurry up and do so!
I know your heart will also have space for this new love! ;)

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel
And sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes, I'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion

So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you all right
And when I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll lift up your veil
Then I'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

Maybe someone so bright as it! :)

Rupert Grint attended British Formula One Grand Prix today at Silverstone.
I watched all the race by TV and couldn't stop to think that maybe he was there.
I was right!
But I decided to post these pictures of him here just in honour of those anonymous people that think I use as reference for my drawings underage actors with engorged muscles.

Is he muscled?
Yeah, but not underage anymore.
And bearded...

( Good day Sunshine! )

IT HAPPENED


TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to Snitchseeker Emma Watson was interview last night by "The London Paper" at the Rodarte private dinner. The actress confirmed that the kiss between Ron and Hermione, in Deathly Hallows, was to be shot today.


Quote:

"Chatting at the Rodarte at Harvey Nichols dinner, she said: “I’m doing it tomorrow! There has been such a build-up and interest in this hyped kiss that it has to be the best on-screen kiss ever, so I’m determined to make it memorable! There’ll be fireworks, *music, everything!"

I still can't believe! I almost fainted when I read this and I need some air!
Oh God! I'm sooooo happy! :D

Yesterday, was so good!
A whole afternoon just to spend with my pencils and brushes painting a fanart of Jamie & Claire!
But today it seems that flu has got me!
So, I'll take the day to stay in bed and read the fics that were posted at the last challenge for the_hp_love!
Even if you're not sick like me, I think you'll love to read the stories so many wonderful and talented writers send to us. You can find (and vote please until tomorrow):

HERE!!!

This week I posted a extended version of HBP's "Ron Weasley in love for Romilda Vane" at YouTube.
The video is today #3 more watched and #5 most commented of the week in the whole site!
Which means yesterday I got 140 emails notifications!
Maybe that's why I'm sick today!

If you haven't watched it, please do!
I think is "the scene of Rupert's acting life" by now!
He's wonderful, amazing!
He's Ron Weasley"!:D



Have a nice weekend, everybody!

I just posted at YouTube an extended version of the scene we watched yesterday from HBP, showing Ron Weasley "in love" with Romilda Van.
Don't have to say that is even more perfect!
The boys are brilliant on it! ;)
Thanks Francaise3 from IceCreamMan for the tip!

Some of you will remember that in the beginning of the year, I told you that sometimes I like to do posts only for myself, but didn’t know if they were working right, only being showed to me.
Than a friend gave me a paid account as a gift.

I want to tell you now, that even having the advantages of this kind of account, most of my posts (with drawings, HP or Rupert photos, videos) are open to everyone in internet, like this one you're reading.I only make locked entries when I talk about me or my family and even then, I never use the filter on them.
All my friends on my list can see and read them.
I am what I am here, and I have nothing to hide.
Well, and I don't have nothing against people who do locked posts.
This is also a reason to have a LiveJournal.
They have all the rights to express their oppinions to their friends, in their very closed journals, haven't they?

So, last week I posted a drawing, and for those who didn’t see it here is the link in the picture:



After this last fanart, showing Ron's derrière, some people of my f-list, I think Rupert’s fans, deleted me from their list, without a talk, without give me a reason, maybe because they imagined Rupert's dimples not Ron's and got offended
I wouldn't blame them! It's a drawing that gives plenty space for imagination but If I had a chance, I would ask them:

( ARE YOU TOTALLY SURE ABOUT YOUR CONCLUSIONS? )

Those of you, who have been part of my f-list for some time have already read me talking many times about coincidence, synchronicity or any other name we could call strange things that happen in our lives.
And you know how many times I'm used to live those moments.
So, this fanart doesn't have a different story, and I'll tell it to you now.

I'm kind of obsessed with the image of Ron and Hermione in his Hogwarts bed since I read the fanfic that made me well, obsessed with them, Emmilyne’s Of Hearts and Heroes.

I already did one almost two years ago based in a Beatles song, called Golden Slumbers but I’ve decided to make one of them on it again, when I saw a photo of Ron/Rupert from HBP movie lying in Ron's bed smiling and there was an amazing red fabric behind it.
So my first idea was to use in this art a technique already used by many artists much before PhotoShop was invented. One that I learn to love on my studies about art history, when I found out about the work of the great pop artist Richard Hamilton and later, in the works of some comics illustrators like Bill Sienkiewicz.
The collage.

I found out a very blurred reference for the pose of the characters (that ended doesn't helping me much) and started to make some sketches.
When I finally thought one of them was fine to start to color, I was giving it the first brushes when a video were Rupert Grint was interviewed in a golf camp surfaced on internet.
On it the reporter asked what was the most important rock group in the history for him.
Although I disagree with Mr. Grint, I felt surprised when he answered Oasis and I looked down to the paper and the perfect name for my art appeared so clear in my mind:
Wonderwall!
Well, you will find out why when you watch it! :D

The theme for it, they both together in the "four-poster bed" was something I wanted to draw since I started on fandom and my opinion is that this could hardly happen in the canon world. But in fandom we have many examples like the one I mention above.
And again for my surprise, during the days I was working on the fanart I discovered an incredible fanfic, The First Two Times by potterhead37, placed hours right after the last battle in "Deathly Hallows", where they both share Ron's bed in Hogwarts and have their first moment of intimacy.
It was the story I had in mind when I was creating the art.
I love the thought of them being the comfort for each other in those moments, but also surrendering to the feelings they just found out were mutual.
And wanting to be only one forever!

So, I had everything when I finished the art last January: the theme, the name, the song, the perfect story for it, I even asked for potterhead37 permission to post part of her story, but I don't know, I just didn't had the feeling to post it.
Maybe because my adult art always has a light and subtle sensuality, and I felt that maybe this one had a "little more" than the usual. I though that I went literally a little bit lower on it! :D
And these thoughts are chasing me till the last week, when I open the file with its image while I heard Oasis at a live show on TV here in the city I live, São Paulo.
Playing, of course, Wonderwall! :D

************
For the record: at the day of the final battle in Hogwarts, May 2nd 1998, Hermione was 18 years, 7 months and 13 days old as Ron was 18 years, 2 months and 1 day old.
This drawing was made in a 180gr A4 size Canson paper using, gouache, watercolor pencils, pastels and collage.
I also posted some parts of the NC-17 fanfiction, The First two times by potterhead37.
I will rated both of them, here, as a Rrrrrrrrrr! :D

A photo taken today of Dan with Rupert wearing his polyjuiced clothes while filming Shell Cottage scenes at Wales!!!!

( And you won't believe how awesome Ron/Rupert is!!! )

Please read all this post and spread the idea!

As you all know, Rupert Grint filmed an indie thriller/drama Cherrybomb last year; but the film hasn't been released yet. IceCreamMan site have received word from the Cherrybomb production team, The Little Film Company that there's been a problem with securing a distribution deal, because the old dudes who run distribution companies think that there isn't enough interest in Cherrybomb. So, The Little Company asked for our help!
We need to prove these old dudes they are wrong!
Thus a campaign has been launched in order to ensure the widest possible cinematic release for Cherrybomb. Here's how you can get involved: IceCreamMan(and they are not asking for any credict) has composed a petition and they need your signature to show that, if given the opportunity, you would actually go and see this film!

There are six separate petitions targeting the US, the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Brazil. If your country is currently not on the list, please sign the petition for the country nearest to you (for example, if you're from Argentina, sign the Brazilian petition); have no worries, they will be adding more petitions in different languages soon, but it is important that we collect as many signatures as possible before the Cannes Film Festival screening of Cherrybomb (14 May).

Please sign this petition to bring Cherrybomb to a theatre near you, and invite your friends, fellow Rupert fans to sign it too! Also, spread the word about the petition: if you are involved with any of these: Rupert and HP sites, communities, forums; celebrity and gossip sites, movie sites etc. -- please post these links there!
Post the links in your LiveJournal, Insane Journal, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, any other social page you have!

Here are the links to the petitions:

US: http://www.petitiononline.com/cherry09/petition.html
UK: http://www.petitiononline.com/cherry10/petition.html
Germany: http://www.petitiononline.com/cherry12/petition.html
France:http://www.petitiononline.com/cherry13/petition.html
Italy: http://www.petitiononline.com/cherry16/petition.html
Brazil:http://www.petitiononline.com/cherry15/petition.html

You can also join the Cherrybomb official Facebook group, set up by The Little Film Company: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cherrybomb/82980346229

Note: When you sign the petition, you can leave a comment. It is not compulsory, but it would be great to state why you think this film deserves a wide release, and why you would love to see it.

This is about us Rupert Grint fans to show we care for him and his career and that we know he is and will be more than Ron Weasley!
So,

WE WANT TO SEE CHERRYBOMB!

George Harrison said about Beatlemania:

They gave us their love and their money. We, in return, gave them our music and our mind sanity.

Yes, maybe this is the hardest price of fame, of giving something only you can create to the others. To police yourself in every step you take, asking all the time Am I doing right? Am I doing wrong?, while at same time, you can't forget to live your own life in the way you think it should have lived and to believe in your principles.
In the latest days some photos of Rupert and Emma with their dates or friends (nobody knows the true and it really doesn't matter), had surfaced in internet.
After I saw them, I thought that maybe this is the perfect opportunity for people see in my art what I really see on them, before, while and after I’m working.
My love to Ron and Hermione.
That is all what they are about.
Art about this love, and how I see it in my mind.
And if, like I said many times before, they look like the actors, this is more than anything, a tribute and respect to their work.
Maybe for these two young actors, I’m taking my part in their mind sanity, but I have to declare, believe me, I’m giving lot of mine too!

***
You have noticed that my life isn't giving me many chances to draw, my enthusiasm declined a lot, or I'm just tired, too.
Maybe because I've been a little lazy to start, to draw something new, I’m working lately in some old works I did last year for More than Memories and Never enough and I have never finished. Making those sketches has taken me a lot of time too and I couldn’t left them undone.
So probably it'll be a little repetitive for you, but I need this feeling that I’m finishing something that was left aside that I shouldn’t have.
Like I had to finish them before to start something new.
And there are so many new things I want to do now, like for example, to dedicate some of my work to this new couple I found out in Outlander series, Jamie and Claire.
Like to work in some originals for the original work, of this friend of mine, Kele , aka redblaze or Bluerain who wrote this incredible unfinished fanfic.
A story, which I truly hope, she could find someday, with herself, time, peace of mind, joy to finally end it.
I have already read some roughs of the next chapters, and believe me, they are amazing!

I chose to illustrate a part of it that in my opinion is one of the greatest moments in all Ron and Hermione fanfics history, where you can feel while reading it, the tension growing up between the characters till it culminates in this scene.
I hope you enjoy the drawing, the passage I chose of the story (and I didn’t cut it for your all pleasure) and the most perfect (old) song I could find for More than Memories. And to all this post, trust me!
Tell me what do you think! ;)

I'm having a huge problem with my LJ lately!
I'm not getting email notifications of comments and also of the replies I get from my friends!
I sent LJ a complaint, but still didn't get an answer.
Is this also happening or ever happened with some of you?
Do you know what I have to do?

I forgot to mention.
I openned a Twitter account some weeks ago, but don't know what the hell to do with it!
A kind of "Big Brother" on line?
Actually I don't even know why I created it!I don't have time to think in what I'm doing even more to write about it!
I just have two friends there andy2301 and leelastarsky and still don't know how they found out about me!
Anyway maybe I start to write something there and if you want to know when I'm brushing my teeth and when I'm painting (not with the same brush, of course), here's the link:

Lilly's Twitter :D

I finished Outlander this weekend, and I'm still impressed and confused with some feelings this first book brough to me. But defenitely,each one of them worth it!

For those who already read it (and for those who didn't yet), don't forget to join my and redheadarehot community for it, outlandfanart. I'll start some drawings for it soon!;)

Thank you!!!!!:)

And take a look on it!

I think some of you, of my friends list, could be thinking that I'm too much lazy lately so, it's already April and it’s time to post some fanart, isn't?
Especially today!
Since I've started my LiveJournal, my Birthday is always a day to share a new work with my friends.

Some of you could like to know from where my ideas come, what you know, was my first wish when I chose to post my fanarts at the web: to share with everybody, the shinning moment of the creation! :D
Great part of the images I've been creating come to me after reading some passages of, most of the times, fanfics.
Sometimes the idea comes from different images, photos, pictures, art, that I transform in Ron and Hermione's moments.
This one came to me after I listened to a song, one I have already knew the lyrics and the story behind it since I was too much young.

It was back in January, when I was spending my vacations on the beaches.
I watched, in the beginning of one afternoon, a House MD episode where this song appeared.
Later, at the same day, I was walking on the beach and remembered to search for it in my iPod that was with me.
And I will never forget the image of the drawing coming to me while I listen to it and watch the sea!
Ron passing his hand in Hermione's hair, while she was sleeping!
The place where they were, for most obvious that could had been, when I had my first thoughts about it, just came to me days after: Shell Cottage!

For me, R&Hr time in Shell Cottage was crucial for them understand the feelings of one for another.
At Malfoy manor, Ron faced the terror of almost lose Hermione, and she had the certain of how much she was important to him.
Like someone said at Checkmated, on those moments Ron turned his feelings from what does Hermione think of me to no matter what she thinks, I love her and the world cannot be right for me without her in it, a similar emotional awakening that for sure Hermione felt when Ron was poisoned about a year before.

He realized what to love her really was. The pain of she doesn't want to be with him couldn't be worse than the pain of not to be around her anymore.
He wanted first of all to see her safe and happy.
And of course he wouldn't be insecure anymore to show her his true feelings by his acts, without fear of her answer, because they faced the reality, through Bellatrix madness, of how fragile could be their future.
He wanted to be loved by her, but most of all, he wanted her near to be loved by him!
So, he would fight to have her alive by his side at the end of the war.

Again, my love for them turned this song in a perfect one for this moment.

While I was working in this drawing I read many, many wonderful fanfics about missing moments of this DH's passage, but I decided to invited a friend to post a new one with the fanart, and I'm glad that my dear Tammy, aka missgranger2 accepted my invite!

I hope you like to read her fanfic as much as I did, and after, to watch my drawing!
It’s my Birthday, but the party is for all of you! :)

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!

None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope!

Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dirò quando la luce splenderà!

But my secret is hidden within me; none will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!

Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia!

And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!

Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!

Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At daybreak I shall win! I shall win! I shall win!

( WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA )



( NEVER ENOUGH – IT’S NOT OVER )


And this one, you gave me, that will be forever in my heart!

And if you look
You look through me
And when you talk
It’s not to me
And when I touch you
You don't feel a thing

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay
Then the day would keep its trust
Stay
And the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen
I can't call
And if you jump
You just might fall
And if you shout
I'll only hear you

One year and half ago, as I was talking with my friend lelymarques(who also lives in Brazil but she lives very far away from me) about how a wonderful connection Internet bring to the world, to the people, she said Wouldn’t be wonderful to know someday for example, that Rupert watches your work?
We kept talking and, at the end, the question keeps coming, that although we could be in contact with everybody, how much we can “touch” someone as we still be so distant?

We decided to create this community rupwatcheslilly and I remember by the time, I think I lost the credit with many people that watched my drawings.

All right, the woman just got insane! :D

Most of the people, didn’t get what was behind this "project".

In that same time (May 2007) I sent Rupert a letter that I wrote with the help of Monica, spidergirl30, which basically, among other things, explained to him what was my objective:

Someday, at some premiere, somebody will reach you and ask you “Do you watch Lilly?” :D

Well, thinking better now, if he had read the letter, three things should have happened: or I scared the death of him, or he also thought “Oh, this woman just got insane!” or maybe “Oh, lets see when this day will come!”

( And then, Rupert, this day came! )





Rupert as he was giving the autograph.




( More images, video and the drawing signed itself under the huge and heavy cut )

Hey, I´m still alive!
Back from the rainning days on the beach with no internet.
I'm so white as the divine marble greek statue chest of Rupert.
Well, at least I got a new(and so beauty) reference.
Last year I came back whiter as Dan's bum!
Kids are in the school.
I'm really busy lately.
Have a drawing to post, working in another one but I will wait to Rupert's "Cherrybomb Hurricane" slow down, because I want to be in the middle of it!

Well...I felt in love for Hugh Laurie and his Dr.House.
I saw the first three seasons while on the beach and I´m thinking seriously in to enter in this fandom!
Me and House have somethings in common!
I also got pain in my right leg sometimes, because of hernia problems in the column.
Can't sit, stand or lay down more than five minutes in the crisis time!
I still don't walk around with a cane, but sometimes I wish to have one just to beat in some people heads! :D

Meanwhile, HP's fandom still makes me confused because, while I got some nominations for rhr_awards (and thank you sooooo much my friends and viewers for this wonderful surprise I got! It means a lot to me, believe me!), I still got pearls of sensibity like this one:

The books are already illustrated, and anyway, these are pictures of
underage actors with engorged muscles having sex. There's nothing deep
about it.

Hahaha, don´t worry, I´m now used to find some people like this one, reason's owners!
This kind of things just makes me laugh so much and, as my imagination doesn't stop a single minute, I just keep picturing this anonymous brave, sensible, art connoisseur and very up-to-date viewer's face entering and looking around at Sistine Chapel! :D

But I won't borrow you anymore with my English!

To bring me all of us up and just because this weekend Cheerybomb will explode at Berlin's Festival, I got some Rupert's fans photos to share with you that were posted yesterday at IceCreamMan, by Marisol.

Also for all of you from my friends list that loves the boy, please send a Good Lucky message at ICM main page to him!
The link is bellow the photos.

And I'm sure he'll read your words! ;)

Oh I forgot to mention! The very beauty "Good Luck letter" was written by my friend, the HP fanfiction writer "EruditeWitch" aka eruditefics. ;)



( And you, are you ready for the explosion? CHE CHE CHERRYBOMB!!!! )

I´m posting today, links to all the drawings I made this year.
I hope you could take a watch to remember them.
Like I already said, it was a productive year and I´m sure
something like this won´t repeat!
I´m glad that I could share them with you!

( 14 MORE UNDER THE CUT )

I want to ask to all my f-list, a big excuse for didn't answer many of the comments in my last entry.

You won't believe , but it happened…again.
My aunt, the sister of my father, passed away last Monday.
It was a terrible coincidence, since last 24th marked one year that I lost my mother.

So my week started this way!
Sad and with no sleep!

Lots of things to be done, but Christmas went well, we have the kids to give us happiness.
My husband and I had eighteen people here, at home, for the lunch last Thursday and we eat literally all day long…well maybe now you can understand when I say that I live in my own Burrow!!

It always a relief to suffered hearts, to look the children playing together.
And while we’re eating, they were playing!

I want to thank risiepookie, spidergirl30 and autumngirl87 for the wonderful Christmas cards and gifts! I loved them!

Also thank you missgranger2 for your PM. I hope I answered you with this post. And well, you know what you can do to make me happy!
Are there some R&Hr hot moments in their way? :D

I'm planning to finished some sketches I started a long time ago for Evanesco75's Never Enough and for Redblaze's More than Memories but I probably only will have new drawings at the end of February, beginning of March, because I'll take some vacations with the kids at the beach, next January, so I want to wish everybody a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

And I couldn't help myself and I NEED to show to you, the gift I gave to myself in the Christmas because, to inspire me for more drawings, nothing better than the MAN of 2009 next to me! :D

So I got to myself…

( MY OWN MINI RUPERT )

...that part of you, my friends on my list, were baking cookies or buying Christmas presents, so that´s why I had so few viewers and comments in my latest work, I posted this week.
Well, understand my point of view. This could be really frustating after 70 hours of work doing it!
But I also can understand why some of you even being around didn´t do it!
I can't please everybody, everytime! :)
And also people change...

Anyway, if you still want to see it, or read the fanfic of spidergirl30 which the drawing is dedicated, click in the picture below:



And also you can view part of the fases of "these 70 hours of work" in my community rupwatcheslilly in this post:

COLOURING THE DRAWING "YOU MAKE IT REAL"

I can also wish again to EVERBODY that is in my f-list a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Have a great time next to the ones you love!

There's so much craziness surrounding me
There's so much going on it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone you bring it back to me
You make it real for me

Well I'm not sure of my priorities
When I’ve lost site of where I'm meant to be
And like holy water washing over me

You make it real for me


By this same time, last year, I was in hell.
My locked friends that were already with me, know what I´m talking about.
My mother passed away on last Christmas’ eve, after a year of suffering because of complications resulting from diabetes.
And the months that followed that day weren’t different.
I submerged into my drawings, trying to relieve the pain, and by my production you can tell what a very hard time I was passing by.
What I got in return of doing and sharing them made this phase a little less painful, helped by the love of my dear husband and kids.
But there is also a person who was crucial on all of this.
A friend that I never met, never hold, never looked in the eyes, but that it’s present in my life everyday.
We exchange emails every single day, sometimes more than one, two, three times.
She’s been here for me all this time, with her support, friendship, love for the same things.
She requested two drawings a long time ago, and waited patiently, even when I passed others projects in front of them.
All her sweetness you can also read in the stories she writes about our favorite couple.
The images she brings of them to us are always full of love and sense of friendship and family. Just like she is!
Monica, thanks for everything, and I hope you like this one!
I told you that I’d do Ron holding Rose just for you and you know how my life hasn’t been easy lately so I didn’t have the perfect time to dedicate to this drawing, with so many (long) breaks while working on it, but it was made with all my heart and love for you!
I know I still owe you them on the bathtub but I hope that you can see on this one the same love you put in your wonderful fic Believing.
Thank you so much, for making me believe that a friendship like this can be real!

( Believing by Spidergirl )






( FULL IMAGE OF YOU MAKE IT REAL )

But I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

How do you know if you are a die hard R&Hr shipper?
I think you know when you start to see them everywhere!
In photos, pictures, songs, poems…

It happens with me all the time!
Does it happen to you too?
Have you ever had this intoxicating experience?

I'd already showed to you some of my reveries, when I made R&Hr versions of Klimt's and also Rodin's The Kiss.

This time, this association came when I was, as I do many times, lost in Deviant Art Gallery.
I found there some references of a Polish artist, Zdzislaw Beksinski, then I started to research through internet, and found myself totally involved with his art.

The image that called my attention and suddenly transformed in my mind in a new Ron and Hermione´s one, shows a couple embracing.
But this couple has only few characteristics of an alive human one.
They are consumed and lost in their feelings of love, despair, need of each other and their image bring you feelings that remain in a thin line between the macabre and the divine!
It was easy to transform this picture as soon as I saw it in another R&Hr moment on my mind, but I tried to change the emotions on it to complicity, tenderness, although it's also could read as the despair, the urgency of lovers that need each other!

No, it isn't an easy and helpful image to use as reference and I tried to keep some links of it to my drawing.
I kept it showing some signs of the original one like colors, textures and proportions, but the differences are putting out not only in the forms of the human beings on it but also in the technique I used.

Pastels gave him a smooth atmosphere!

And I'm glad that from times to times, I still feel the need to use them, one of the first mediums I felt in love, one where you can reach the perfect fusion of colors while doing the skins, it's quicker for me than others where I need brushes (this one took me about two days of work) and could give me a huge feeling of being doing really art because you have, with them, your hands, fingers literally dirties and impregnated with the colors.
Certainly some computers programs could show close results on the screen but I'm sure that never the same ones on your soul!

Today I don't have any fanfic recommendation with the drawing, although I could point you many of my favs who captured a moment like this in words because, just to emphasize my first comment in this entry, I want to introduce to you a new friend of mine here, Grace aka glancast.
Her poems are beauty in the simplicity of their words, rhymes, and in the clearness of the feelings we could read on them.
And I bet that not even she would think, by the time she did these poems, that someone would see Ron and Hermione on them! :D

What a great weekend Rupert is giving to us!
Don´t you think?

It´s funny, this is the second CB pictures that has something in common with one of my drawings!
Again this makes me believe even more in syncronicity!

The last drawing that shows Ron only in jeans, shirtless from above and the other one, where Ron is shirtless with blood and a locket, like the first picture we had from him!
It give me shivers but also I´m with a silly smile on my face since I saw this photo!

Yeah, we´re conected, baby! ;)




Have a great weekend!! :*

I bought some stickers of the new Panini´s Brazilian HP album!
It´s about all the six movies, and with luck, after 30 stickers from the first 5 movies you can get one from HBP! :D
Here are some I got!
It´s too late here, I´m too much tired so excuse me for the bad scans(well the English, you´re already used to)! :D



( More HERE and don´t forget they are scans from tiny stickers )

My friends here know how much I like to explain the way the ideas for the drawings came to me, and some of you must remember my last work over Jenn´s (aka willow_wand) fanfic In the Orchard.

The image for it appeared to my mind, after I've listened to a Snow Patrol 's song, Make Love To Me Forever.

One of the days while I was working on it, I was also watching on TV one of my favorites shows called Live from Abbey Road and guess who was the group that was playing?
Yes, Snow Patrol!!
Amazed by the coincidence, I've paid more attention and when they started to play this song, Chasing Cars, a new idea just burst in to life inside my head! :D

Ron doing Wingardium Leviosa in a special way to Hermione!
An end of a cycle in Ron and Hermione's lives, a beginning of other, just like a circle, that started and ended the same way.

While I was working in this new drawing, I thought, why couldn´t be this a scene about Ron and Hermione, at the same place of the last one, but a year later?

I told Jenn about this and the result of our new trip to Ron and Hermione's Orchard you can see and read now!
I hope you like it as much as I loved to make this drawing and also enjoy the wonderful translation of the image to words that Jenn made for me, for us! :)

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how it's wrong
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

And shocked!!!
Just read few minutes ago that Guillaume Depardieu died today at 37 years old!

Those on my f-list that read some of my recents entries knows that he was the "original" Antoine at the French movie witch Rupert Grint´s Wild Target was based!

Here more info about

I think every one of us, Rupert´s fans, became a little bit of his fan too because of his lovely Antoine, and for sure we won´t forget him!



Rest in peace!

Yesssss, finally!!!
Don´t have much time but have to post these Rupert´s photos!
Well, what am I doing lately?
And it´s great because the guy is working!!! :D
Oh, I drawing too! :D





Oh, he´s so wonderful!!! :D

Here is the link for the article on MTVmovie blog

Kisses and a great week!

Oclumência posted, some minutes ago, this wonderful photo of Ron/Rupert!!

And also, the good news is that, after two weeks, I´m with a pencil in my hand in this exact moment! :D



( The HQ is under the cut )

Yeah, it seems Tony doesn´t want to help me to finish my latest Ron drawing!Every morning when I sit here to draw, he comes with some news!
No, I won´t complain!It´s wonderful to see Rupert in action!

If you already saw Cible Emouvante you know what scene they are filming, if you don´t go to my last entry with the downloads of the movie!

How can I think in something to say now!! Again the guy is just leaving me speechless!!





More of this beautiful man under the cut:

( RUPERT IN WILD TARGET SET )

Some of you may had watched an 80's movie called Working Girl with Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffith. One of the scenes that still makes me happy when I have the opportunity of see it again, is the one where Melanie's character explains inside a lift to her client, showing photos and newspapers articles, how she had the idea for a business deal.

Well, I'm saying this because, as you know by now, that's all about this page I have on LJ.

When I created it I wanted to share with people how the ideas for the drawings happen to me. And my mind always seems to be like a kettle in ebullition! That's the reason of its name(including the allusion to one of my favorites movies): Drawing a Dream-Eternal Sunshine of a Fully Mind.
If I had time enough to work all the ideas that come on my mind all day, I would have by now a thousand of works, and I'm not only talking about R&Hr, in spite of most of them are about this couple!

This drawing is about one of the most beautiful R&Hr first time story I have ever read: In the Orchard by willow_wand placed after DH.
Willow, or Jenn, how her friends know her, contacted me some time ago, after I left her a comment, saying that she would like to commission me for a work about this fic.
I still don't get commissions because the obvious reasons about my references and also because I think people that would ask for them should share with me my visions of the characters.
Maybe it wouldn't give me this freedom I need, like someone that asked me another day:
"I wanted so much to have a work made by you but you must draw Hermione looking like Anna Hatway lying on bed with Draco that should looks like..."

Wow, stop, stop, stop!! You really didn't get the thing, did you, dear??

Or like an ex-LJ friend that asked me, after hadn't said a single word about a work that took me days to end:
"Could you please cut out your entries because I'm not a "reading person" more a visual one!"
Oops! Come on, how to react to this comment? Just watch the picture, you don't have to read the post if you don't want! Is it easier to say these words than to think in this solution? When could I think that I would find a "not reading person" on HP fandom when I enter in this "world"? :D

Well, coming back to the drawing, I said I would do the drawing for Jenn, first because she is one of the first writers to give me support here on LJ by the time we become friends and also she was the person that had addicted me, with her stories, to the image of Ron, Hermione and his Chudley Cannons blanket, and if you had read this story or some others of her, you know what I´m talking about.
She asked me for a hot scene about it, and knowing how she is a fanactic fan of Rupert, I could understand her!! :D
As she also understood me when I said that, because the "same reason" (Rupert), this subject always must be (and it´s being a lot lately :D ) lightly touched on my drawings.

With this in mind, I started to think how to do it. And the idea didn’t come easy! :S
It only happened when after, re-reading the story for the hundred time, I, with my iPod on my hands, put on the search the words "Make love".
This Snow Patrol’s song appeared and like a video-clip (and I wish I could make one with this idea) the image blowed up on my mind:

Ron and Hermione, only involved with his blanket, lying on the grass, in a "wind tunnel", like a delicate whirl of colors, fabric, leaves, flowers, skin, pleasure sights, circulating like the song's melody and rhythm, while their thoughts were only make love to each other forever!

And here it is!
I really like the fact that it ends looking something like an illustration for an Art Noveau poster, with all the organics elements and bright colors! :D

I hope that Jenn and all the fans of this story like it but... this was not the only idea that happened to me for this fanfic involving a Snow Patrol's song and I'm already working on another drawing that you'll see next soon, with of course, the story behind it !
Yeah, no way for me, even needing a break, I´m definitely a fanartholic!! :l

Make love to me forever,
Make love to me forever,
Make love to me forever,

It took half the time
I am still afraid
So stay by my side
And hold on to my hand
Try to teach me that
I'm alright I guess
But there's so much wrong
But there's so much right
I guess we'll agree
To differ on one thing

Make love to me forever,
Make love to me forever,
Make love to me forever.

( A PASSAGE OF IN THE ORCHARD BY WILLOWWAND )

Although you have been listening to me saying I will slow down, no, you are not dreaming: I have another drawing today!

It's a drawing I made very quickly, comparing with the last one. Because this date could never pass in blank to me: Rupert Grint's 20th Birthday!

How couldn't I make something for him that, beside Ron, it's my great Muse! :D
Of course, I shouldn't even be telling you that they are like one in my work!
Because of this "connection" they both have in the drawings, that last year, when I made his Birthday Card for RupertGrint.net I tried to emphasize Rupert as the real and normal guy of his age, showing things that he loves and that every fan could easily see him on them as himself did.

I can't believe one year had passed since then!

I´m so happy about all the things we're reading about his new movie Cherrybomb!
And for this "gift" I choose to work over the only promotional photo we have for this movie so far.

A photo that I consider one of the best publicity moves made by any of the actors from the main HP trio!
While Dan's "Equus" photos had also their impact (and this last one made by Annie Liebowitz is wonderful) I think they don't have the same dimension of this single one made by Rupert, because we all know what happened and what was expect about Dan on "Equus"! While on this, the first reation of everyone that had looked at Rupert's "bloody face" was "What the hell happened to this guy?" and we still don´t know anything precisely!
The photo is perfect as it is!

I noticed that the answer for it by many of his fans was, that his eyes are so impressive on it that the last thing we see on it is the bloody make-up!
But the idea of this drawing came to me after this reaction of my youngest son, that is a fan of him since he was in diapers:

"Oh, Mom, what had happen to him? I can´t stand to look at his face like this!"

So I decided to challenge myself and made the drawing of him but without the make-up!
I also used gouache, the technique I'm experimenting lately.
It was really hard, one of the most difficult works I have done so far, and after about 19 hours with my computer screen open on the high quality photo, this was the result I got.

I ask you ever to consider that this is a drawing with all its limitations (but also the freedom of an art piece), not a photo, that at least made my son happy:

"Finally Mom you had healed and cleaned up Rupert!":D

This is also the drawing that is on its way to Rupert's hand with the gift RupertGrint.us (IceCreamMan) prepared for him this year, a beautiful scrapbook with many works made by his fans!

Fans that are crazy to see him as Ron in "Half Blood Prince" and got disappointed by its postponement, but also want so much to see him on this new movie, wishing and certainly knowing he´ll have a great career ahead because they, like me, know that

Ron will always be Rupert for many HP fans, but Rupert, will be much more than just Ron!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUPERT!!!

Wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

And hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

And the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you don't live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real 'til it's gone


So live like you mean it
Love 'til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real 'til it's gone


Hold on before it's too late
Until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life

Well, after all my latest locked posts, as I’ve been saying to my f-list that I probably will slow down with fanart because I´m a little bit stressed, you´ll think "oh she was talking serious!!!" because I don´t have much to say today! :D

This drawing took me AGES to do, I'm not even able to tell you how many hours I stayed working it!
Although I was doing something that I love, during those working hours, I've started to ask how much worth was to give much time of your life to a fanart that will stay just few seconds on everybody´s computer screens and it will be soon forgotten?
So, like I always use to say "My boss is my happiness and my payment is yours!" and "he" keeps screaming on my mind:

"Go on, make V birds over M mountains, but just be happy!"

It wasn't easy to work on this fanart, but I hope I could get my payment!! :D

Meanwhile, I've bought a lot of stuff to work with a new technique, gouache and I´m really enjoying it a lot.
Basically, I'm using it as base for the watercolor pencils that are my "most loved" one. So, for sure, you’ll notice some changes because of this.

This picture illustrates a scene of Evanesco75's "Never Enough" chapter 30, one of the most waited from its readers, after Ron´s return,as Hermione was trying to keep a certain distance from him and convince herself that didn´t need him anymore, surrenders to her true feelings. While I was making it, I've heard a lot of songs but, this one, I think passes the "urgency" and the feelings behind this kiss.
"It´s not over" says everything for this R&Hr’s moment in Sara´s world of "Never Enough" that reaches its epilogue by this time, a fanfic that is an unanimity for this couple's lovers, an experience that will be always remembered by us, a work of love that have a certain place in everybody's favorites list of all time!
It will never be over for us!

( A PASSAGE FROM NEVER ENOUGH CHAPTER 30 RATED R )






( FULL IMAGE OF NEVER ENOUGH:IT’S NOT OVER )

You can't be indifferent to this story. After reading the eighty nine chapters of this fic, you may call yourself a Ron and Hermione die hard fan with a certificate, sealed and authentic. :D

I decided to make a drawing about it some time ago, because it's one of my favorites fics (and also of many people on fandom) and the idea had came to me naturally, as I transformed all the angst and love they both shared through the fic's plotline on this single image.

Well, I hope I made it... :D
Like all my work, it isn't perfect in all the aspects but I think I could put on it the contradictories emotions Ron and Hermione felt in The Price of Love, and I guess that the image only gets its absolute meaning for those who had read the fanfic and remember the story as well.

The feelings the story brought to me when I was reading it have came again over me, with more intensity while I was drawing. And a question was inevitable: how many people, couples had found in history, love in the middle of war times?
How many are living the same situation at this moment?
In real Wars?

In the real battle that is life now days?

Thinking of this, it´s understandable the feelings R&Hr felt on this fanfic, the fear of lose the one you love, their union to fight and to go through hard times.
Like many of us, daily.
Like R&Hr on JKR´s books.

There, where we could also see Harry and Ginny, Remus and Tonks, Bill and Fleur, Arthur and Molly, James and Lily, Snape and Lily… so many different ways to face it, to live it, to leave it.

And by the ending, "the price" you pay could never be too high if you could find it someway.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
~Theodor Seuss Geisel


It's not easy to say good bye to one of the most beautiful and interesting Ron and Hermione's fanfics we have ever read:Never Enough by Evanesco75!
Specially, when I notice a lot of "changes" around the HP fandom world lately.

The amount of fanfics about Ron & Hermione are diminishing very much, even on the great fanfics sites. If it wasn't for some good stories I'd found on this new (and wonderful) community rwhgficexchange and the "hope" of some works my friends will post on the_hp_love, I would say unfortunately, it isn't only to "Never Enough" we're saying "good bye".

Had you ever stopped to think how, with just few lines about Ron and Hermione, over seven books, JKR give us such a plenty repertory for our imagination? And how have we been dreaming since then?

While I was making this new illustration for this story, I felt in love for a "not so new" song, but I thought it came for me in the right time, because its lyrics are not only so perfect for this happy "second chance" moment of Ron and Hermione in "NE" that I drew, but also about for our relationship with them all over the HP fandom! It helped me a lot while I was working over the new illustration, with all the "cross-over feelings" about this "R&Hr time" we´re living now.

Only one certain at the end: what a pity of those who never "felt" this love!

And for those who know what is "to feel" R&Hr feelings through fanfics, fanart but feel like the bells inside have finally found you someone else and…that's okay, when you get tired of blood and vampires(that definitively are creatures I'll never feel a special affection, because I have a lot of "them" on my RL)or whatever, you could always come back to R&Hr, to their magical love, because this one won't be never enough!!!

I can say that I felt so much involved on this drawing I made for "Never Enough", it was like I´ve never been before, and I´m really happy how it came out! And I think for the first time (even it could not look perfect) I'm totally glad with my work!

It pictures a singular moment of all the story, a moment of surrender, reunion, return, so well written by Sara, like all this story she'll be finishing soon. I felt "their love" all the time as I was drawing it!Like I felt their love while I was reading this fanfic!

I´m not sad because its end is coming! I´m happy because I lived it and we'll have a great story with a begin, middle and end! How many good ones are we waiting to be finished? How many will we never know the end?

Making these drawings for Sara is one of the so many wonderful things HP fandom has brought to my life ! From the people I'd met to the works we'd shared together, and I'm happy to say I have more good news :

I'M THE FEATURED ARTIST FROM JULY ON THE LEAKY CALDRON FANART GALLERY!!!!!!!

I'm thrilled,scared, dancing all around!!! :D
And this I owe from all of you, for the support since my first post here and of course from the love we have in common, the world JKR created and we´ve being taking such a good care!!

Hope you like the new drawing and also could feel all the things I "lived" on it!!

After you watched it, it would be wonderful if you take some of your time to look at my thread and gallery at TLC:

The Leaky Cauldron Gallery

The Leaky Cauldron Forums

And of course, thank you so much RON & HERMIONE!!!!
"My bells" will always ring for you!!!
