At my F-list wolf_in_sheeps posted this few minutes ago, and I just feel the need to post it here too:

"The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his imprecision of beautiful things.
The highest, the lowest, form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book.
Books are well-written and badly-written. That is all.
The nineteenth-century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.
The nineteenth-century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.

The moral life of man forms part of the subject matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium. No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true cannot be proved.
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.

Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art.
Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art.

From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor’s craft is the type.

All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

All art is quite useless.

-The Picture of Dorian Gray"

by Oscar Wilde

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?

( FANART -WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA- RATED R UNDER THE CUT!!Collapse )

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!

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.

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!

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

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!!!

( FULL IMGE OF ´I´VE BEEN DREAMING OF THISCollapse )

Ron Weasley.
How many times did you hear me saying he's my favorite character?
Well if you haven't heard yet, this is obvious for everybody that know my work! :D
Why?
Because he's probably, to me, the most close of a human being of all characters in HP. With all the fears and doubts of a "normal" teenager.
This opinion of mine you already know, as the one about his incredible sense of humour, some of the best lines and quotes from the books! But what about his bravery? One that wasn't imposed but was a choice!
Yes, since the first book I've found on him what certainly Hermione had too, watching her friend,the knight on the black horse!

As the movies seem don't bring up too much this side of Ron or sometimes even change it, what clearly (and I'm certain of this) had created a legion of people that don't capture, the importance of this character, by the other hand, in a great number of fanfics these qualities of him are explored in its true essence.

I remember, while I was reading Never Enough, I think a little before Deathly Hallows, had thought to myself "Here´s is the "normal teenager", revolted about the pain that the destiny brought to him, the murdered of his mother, turning into a man in his fight for justice, and finding the love in the middle of an external and internal battle. Here´s Ron Weasley!"

By the time of the first chapters being published, I talked with Sara (aka Evanesco75) about my admiration for her story. But at the end of last year, I stopped to read it because all the things that was happening in my RL, and only returned to it about two months ago.

And for my surprise I've got some weeks ago a message from Sara where she asked me for some fanarts from her story! I feel so happy, because it's one of my favorites, loved for so many and in a so passionately way (if you already read its thread at Checkmated's forums you know what I'm talking about)that I put aside some others projects(that I'll finish of course, I promise, willow_wand and spidergirl30 ;)) to make these drawings I will bring to you in some of my next entries, because being a story that is still being written, it will give me the chance to put the links for the fanarts directly in the chapter posted on the site, which means, I think, more viewers for them.

Like I said, the public of this story is very involved with its development, discusses it, and even ask for a lot of things to Sara that is always very sweet with her readers.
So I found myself in the middle of this, readers asking me for portrait several scenes, and I'm scared like hell!! :D
But unfortunately the things don't happen this way with people that work with art(in every of their mediums).Wish I could put everything they want in a paper!
So, basically I chose for this first, one of Sara's wishes: to see Ron as a Clandestine Combatant and as she knows how I picture him she gave me some parameters:

"Ron clothes, well mostly black: I was thinking, black jeans, black dragonhide boots, black leather overcoat. Stubble"

And she gave me freedom for all the rest! :D

So, I choose Ron's wrist for his tattoo (yes I'll be an expert on this), the right one so it could be seen when he points the wand; some other detail that I'll explain better in another art (leather bracelets), his belt (and Rupert´s fans will know why I did it this way, for sure). And what about the stubble???? How to do stubble on Ron when he gets that Rupert's baby face??? OMG! Well I tried, I swear! :D

And, one more time, I worked with an abstract background, that at the end, I think fits well and says a lot about Never Enough.

This drawing was made with watercolor and watercolor pencils, on a 180gr Canson A4 size paper and it's dedicated to the awesome and talented Sara, who is giving us one of the best fanfics R&Hr shippers could wish for, and to all the girls of the NE thread on Checkmated's forums, specially my dear friend skdon, who leaves on the same city (Seatle) which the band you're listening now comes from, a wonderful person that always have words to put me up!!

( FULL IMAGE OF CLANDESTINE COMBATANT-THE BLACK KNIGHTCollapse )

I would be a hypocrite if I said:

"Yes, the features that I picture when I'm reading Ron and Hermione on the books, on fanfics while they were talking, arguing, fighting against Voldemort, kissing, eating chocolate frogs and lollypops, running through the fields with little lambs are Rupert and Emma ones, but when I'm reading scenes of them having intimates moments, in fanfics rated R or NC-17(which I read a LOT), no, no, in my mind I don't picture them the same way!"

Well, I'm not a hypocrite. So, how could I turn up in one when I have to put a moment of love between my fav couple in a drawing?

I'll never do anything explicit because, putting aside all the ethic discussion with the images involved in something like this, that is a quite obvious point, I think, and now saying my opinion, artistically, when you leave "somethings in the air" in a picture, you created a vast space for people complete your work with their own ideas. This isn't easy to do and is one of the greatest differences (for me) between erotic art and porn. And I'm not (again) criticizing anyobody, let this be very clear. In art, I may not do, but I watch everything.

When I made this drawing for redblaze 's More than Memories I wanted, also, to transform into a drawing an image that was, I thought, a beautiful one I had inside my head which was Ron with his hair in the same way, spread over the bed.

The difficulties I found to do this art that I'm posting today, like have no references of them kissing just a dark and little screen cap of Rupert on "Driving Lessons", made me put it aside even when I finished it, not, you know, so happy with it and the results I got. I was also reluctant to post it, but as many of fanartists share even their sketches with their public, like I did many times too, why shouldn't I show it?

Even because I was wanting with it to illustrated (not literally) one of the most beautiful moments of More than Memories and I think of HP fanfics history, but also in this image I created for it, I can see many moments of Ron and Hermione I had read through these years on fanfics and, I can say, too, a moment that happened so many times (oh happy thoughts!) with our dearest ones in the gap of the nineteen years we have in Deathly Hallows between the last chapter and the epilogue!


What if you could wish me away
What if you spoke those words today
I wonder if you'd miss me when I'm gone
It´s come, please, release me
I'll leave before the dawn

What if you could hear this song
What if I felt like I belong
I might not be leaving oh, so soon
Began the night believing
I loved you in the moonlight
So for tonight, I'll stay here with you
Yes for tonight, I'll lay here with you
But when the sun hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do

I could have treated you better, better than this
Well I'm gone, this song's your letter:
I can't stay in one place
So for tonight, I'll stay here with you
Yes, for tonight, I'll lay here with you
But when the sun hits your eyes through your window
There'll be nothing you can do.

Some of you will remember that last weekend, more precisely on May 16 th, the site Oclumência posted an interview with me. The interview was in Portuguese as you can see here.

Many of my friends asked me for a translation in English, and for my surprise, my Portuguese friend did it to me! So, thanks to this amazing girl with a wonderful heart, I can share it with all of you today.

She asked me to look for any mistakes, as if I my English skills could find any! :D So if there are some, they belong to me! :D

My friends that have been with me since the beginning, here in LJ, won´t find anything new on it, but this was an important moment on my fandom life since many HP fans of my own country didn´t even knew me until then, and those that had seen the drawings(including Rupert Grint´s Birthday card for RG.net), that they were made by a Brazilian fanartist.
But like I said on the interview, in this wonderful fandom that is Harry Potter´s one, the last thing we have are frontiers and here´s to you, one more that was broken:

Excuse me I had to delected the other entry because I did a great mess.It´s the first time I use Imeen page to share a music, anyway, this is the song that yesterday was posted at the site Soundtrack second Oclumência as the possible HBP teaser trailer song.What do you think?

Hi, everybody!Hope you´re having a great time ´cause my weekend it´s being great!

First of all, for those that didn´t see my latest work, which I posted this week, here´s the link on the picture:



And here is the reason for my happinnes: today the Brazilian site Oclumência, one of the biggest Harry Potter´s sites of the Portugues language, posted an interview with me!!!
So for all my friends that understand Portuguese here are the links for the site and the interview page(they surprised me with the layout of it):

OCLUMÊNCIA

and the

THE INTERVIEW

I hope "the honorables members"of my fan club in Portugal spidergirl30 and dransinha77 like it! And thanks for her lovely comment that "woke me up" this morning!

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

"Hermione made purple and gold streamers erupt from the end of her wand and drape themselves artistically over the trees and bushes.
'Nice' said Ron, as with one final flourish of her wand, Hermione turned the leaves on the crab-apple tree to gold. 'You´ve really got an eye for that sort of thing'.
'Thank you, Ron!' said Hermione, looking both pleased and a little confused. Harry turned away, smiling to himself. He had a funny notion that he would find a chapter on compliments when he found time to peruse his copy of Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches; he caught Ginny´s eyes and grinned at her, before remembering his promise to Ron and hurriedly striking up a conversation with Monsieur Delacour."

So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, you have grown

Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Makin' love in the green grass
Behind the ”Quidditch” stadium
With you my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl!

Ron singing a song to himself while everybody was working for Harry´s party; as he was going around, noticing every move Hermione was making, trying to find something nice to say to her.
That´s how I particularly picture this part of Deathly Hallows, one of the most sensual things JKR ever wrote!
Now you are asking me: most sensual?
Yes, we all know how she works so well the details in her books, so did you pay attention where this male and female seductive dance happened?

Next a crab-apple tree!!

This few lines of Ron and Hermione have a subtle sensual way to show their situation in a, should I say, most Biblical way ? :D

This piece took me an eternal time to finish, because the difficult size of the details I was working on! There were sometimes I got up my head from it and all I saw around was streams and stripes! :D
It was made on a Canson 180gr A4 paper with watercolor and watercolor pencils (NO Photoshop).Again the golden ink doesn´t appear after I scanned it.
I asked for some help at Checkmated forums about Ron´s watch, and people there only found one reference about Dumbleodore´s, that was a pocket one. So I decided to make Ron´s as a wrist one, because it’s much more modern, practical and for sure, sexier. :D
I think it shows a brief moment of happiness of my fav couple before the storm, and the palette of colors I chose for it passes this feeling. And of course, as I am a left-hand drawer, the composition is perfect for me! :D
Hope you like it!

Calico:a plain-woven cotton cloth printed with a figured pattern, usually on one side.


How wonderful is to be transported by a situation, a place while you are reading a well written text? How wonderful is to have a full image formed on your mind made by words?
Sometimes these words made you associate this image with others wonderful things you have lived, with things that you love.

This was what happened with me when I’ve read this singular passage of redblaze ´s More than Memories for the first time.
I remembered instantly of Paul McCartney's song Calico skies. One of those only he knows how to do.
His voice, a guitar, a love song.
Listening to it was how I worked on this piece.
Imagining Hermione "feeling", with the pads of her fingers, the words of love on Ron's lips:

"I love you enough to die for."

How canon sounded the characters ?
How beautiful is this image?

And I wanted to have drew them lying, in this moment, on the sheets of their bed.But at the end, surprising me, they look like, in this image I made for this scene, living their forever love under Calico Skies!!

It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies.

I will hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide

I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Long live all of us were crazy soldiers who
were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise

I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll love you for the rest of my...
For the rest of my life

"He pulled his jeans off and then crawled into bed. Hermione sighed when he gathered her to him, holding her from behind, his strong arms wrapped around her and his breath warm against her neck. Her eyes felt heavy and she closed them as she said, “I don’t think we can do that binding ceremony tonight. I’m too tired.”
“That’s okay,” Ron said and she thought she felt his smile against her neck as he pressed a kiss there and whispered, “I think there’s a law against doing it while intoxicated anyway.”
“That makes sense,” Hermione mused. “It’d be awful to tie yourself to someone when you’re drunk.”
“Yeah, I sort of thought that, too,” Ron said, brushing her hair away from her face and tucking it behind her ear. “But, I gave you a loophole.”
“Always so honourable,” Hermione said, smiling to herself.
“Sometimes,” he said as he left her hair be and settled back against the bed, his head resting against the pillow she was using.
“You don’t know how much I love you, Ron,” she whispered into the darkness.
He was quiet for a long time, his body felt tense against hers all of a sudden, but he finally asked, “Then tell me how much.”
“Oh, um,” Hermione sighed, rolling over in his arms and staring into his eyes that seemed so very blue in the darkness. She never remembered them being so bright. She stroked his cheek, feeling stubble against her fingers. “Enough to die for,” she said, and smiled at him. “That’s a lot.”
“It is,” he agreed, his voice sounded hoarse and choked. “But, that isn’t an option. We’re making Harry Secret Keeper tomorrow.”
Hermione traced his lips with the pad of her finger. “Tell me you love me, Ron.”
“I love you, Hermione,” he said against her fingers, which was nice because she felt the words as well as heard them. He kissed the tips of her fingers and then grabbed her hand and pressed his lips against her wrist and whispered softly, “Enough to die for.”
Hermione smiled and closed her eyes, finding that it was really easy to fall into unconsciousness."

I don’t want to create controversies, so that's why I don't want to go deep in this subject, because I'm here with others intentions, you know, to show my new fan art and the wonderful story, that has it by inspiration, written by Monica spidergirl30 .
I have near 300 friends on my list here, and I'm certain when I say, that there isn't a HP character that brings so many extremes feelings than the "real" person that represents our dear Hermione on the screens: Emma Watson.
Everyday when I open my f-list, I can see love and discontented declarations directed to her coming from everywhere. Everybody have their own reasons.

My vision of all of this is that I always prefer to cultivate good feelings, even for someone that I will never know in person, and that I also know so far, didn't have done anything bad to no one.
The decisions for the changes we can see in Hermione ("SuperMione", "pink dress", "too much hugs on Harry", "Ronalds", etc) on the movies don’t belong to her, but to the producers, directors, script writers.

Almost straight hair? Daniel has blue eyes and Rupert no freckles.

"Dancing" eyebrows? I know lot of people that do the same when they are talking to someone. Good for her that she gets millions even doing this! :D

For me, now, there isn't another actress I could see in her place, although to a lot of people, I can feel, no woman in this world would be good enough to play Hermione.
Better knowing, she's a deep defender of Ron and Hermione's relationship. Even against those that couldn't see clearly since the first book that they were "meant to be". She has always being by "their" side.

Yeah, Emma is a very beautiful young woman. But in my thoughts Hermione was a girl, like so many others, that didn't have plain conscience of her "powers". She had the attention of Victor Krum, Cormac McLaggen and even Grawp, not to mention the more special one, Ron.
So, Hermione is beautiful to me.
"But Emma is too much!"
For those who have this opinion, I use to say, in a good mood, "Imagine you’re looking at her through Ron´s eyes!"

Emma turned eighteen years old this week, and it's not hard to think what Hermione was passing by at this same age. She was fighting for her convictions and dreams.
Maybe Emma is, in her way, doing the same, too. Like so many others girls.
So, this fan art is dedicated to her, Miss Watson, the strongest (and lucky) spokeswoman we, R&Hr shippers could have, and to all of HP fans that like her, since the beginning, also "dreamed Hermione´s dreams":
she and Ron in a peaceful world, with lots of "beautiful red-haired babies"!!

She
May be the face I can't forget.
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay.
She may be the song that summer sings.
May be the chill that autumn brings.
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day.

She
May be the beauty or the beast.
May be the famine or the feast.
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell.
She may be the mirror of my dreams.
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd.
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry.
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past.
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, she, she

Golden Moments
by
spidergirl30

"My grandmother used to say that photos are snippets from our memories, kept in pieces of paper, so that we might remind ourselves when our minds become lazy with age.

I'm not convinced our minds will forget the most important moments of our lives. I believe that there are unforgettable moments that we won't remember only when we are no longer alive. But maybe it's only me in my late twenties.

Although I couldn't agree more with her when she said that photos hold a Magic of their own, especially once I saw the Magical photos. They are more exciting and catch more details than the Muggle ones. Looking at them is like we are living the moment over and over again, and it's quite fascinating.

Because my mother grew up in a house full of framed photos which represented the most cherished moments of her family through the ages, she did the same in the house we lived in until I was twelve. So I've been in love with the idea since always.

I dreamt of having a large shelf in my own house, in the living room or in the library. And upon them would be nice and simple photo frames displaying the cherished moments and familiar traditions that connect my family with Ron's. Just as Molly very much likes to put photos of her children and grandchildren in the The Burrow's living room where they are like wallpaper pieces, which make walls almost come alive with colors, moving, and Weasley grins.

There are snippets from my childhood, amazing moments from my time as a student at Hogwarts and my and Ron's happiest moments, displayed on the large and simple bookshelves in my library.

Photos from our time at the Quidditch World Cup before fourth year with Ron's family and Harry.

Summer moments at The Burrow as everyone sunbathed or had fun on in the pond.

Everyone sharing the indescribable sense of accomplishment and peace after the end of the War.

The first time Ron and I had dinner at The Burrow as a couple.

Broom flights for Ron and me on Saturday afternoons when we dated before we went to our favorite place for our private snogging.

The evidence of being caught once by Bill when we were returning to the backyard of The Burrow, which is one of the funniest photos ever: Ron and I blushing like tomatoes with our messed hair and clothes, riding a broomstick. George and Charlie still nag Ron about that nowadays.

On the day we and Harry received our 'Order of Merlin' awards for services to the Wizarding world, a proud moment for all of us.

Mine and Ron's wedding day reception at the moment that George tried to vanish the mud from my bridal veil, performing a charm that made the veil become red and too hot for me to wear it. The photo was taken the moment that most of guests were laughing and trying to help rid me of it. This memory brings always a smile to my face.

The day Rose was born, as Ron held her in his arms, his grin getting bigger as my eyes filled with tears of joy, looking at them and at Charlie, who took the photo, grinning as much as Ron.

The other cherished moments that my memories hold are kept in large photo albums, placed chronologically on one of the shelves in library as well.

In this moment, I'm putting on the shelf my most recent photo-one of my favorites ever.

It is a photo from Ginny's birthday party that Harry took it unexpectedly as I held Rosie in my arms and she tenderly touched Ron's face. She loves to try touching Ron's mouth as he speaks to her. Rosie's grin is just the warmest thing in this world, so resembling that of her daddy's.

Photos are more than snippets of our memories. They are the proof that our family and friends are more precious than coins or jewelry in a vault. They display golden moments forever."

Spidergirl30's note: Many thanks to my good friend queenb23more for the beta work. Any mistake is mine and not hers or Lilly's.






( Full and heavy image from My girlsCollapse )

Last year at this same date, my birthday, I had a lot of Rupert with flag-jackets for my f-list!
Today I "just" have him as Ron. And it´s a special "one"!

It´s a fanart I was charging myself, like the ones for "More than Memories", a long time to do. It´s a tribute to the first HP fanfic I ever read (I think it was at the end of 2005) : "Going Through the Motions" by Slayerette, aka carter_sg1.
A tribute to the first time I had the happiness to read a moment of Ron and Hermione, together, alone with each other and discovering their feelings!
I still remember . . .it was magical!
A moment that made me wish for more of them, making me reading a lot of wonderful fanfics I found out after, and I´m still finding. A moment that prepared me for the beautiful one at page 502 of Deathly Hallows. Their so waited cannon moment!
This couple that gave me back the pleasure of to draw. A pleasure I thought was lost somewhere far away on my memories.

This is also a tribute to all my f-list, that is full of so talented people. People that gave me everyday the happiness of to share their lives, stories, art with me. People that teache me, by the attention they always give me every time I post my works, together with the reborn need of to do art, that is never too late to start again and find happiness in every single moment of a day!

This work is also specially dedicated to Jenn, willow_wand that today is celebrating her birthday, too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jenn!!

The drawing was made on Canson 180gr A4 paper with watercolor and watercolor pencils and it isn´t a literal reproduction of the story, but I think the it captures the essence of this singular and close moment of them that we can read on these lines of the chapter two:

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing along”

“Are your legs tired yet?”
“I’m fine,” she told him. The truth was her legs were beginning to feel like rubber, but she could handle it.
His expression showed that he didn’t believe her. “This is your first time, so we should probably take it easy.”
“Ron, I can do this, okay? I’m fine,” she said, her tone firm. She probably should have listened to him. Her legs were beginning to cramp up.
He scowled. “Dammit, why do you have to be so bloody stubborn?”
That was when her legs gave out beneath her and she went under. Water was all around her, trapping her as she flailed her arms in an attempt to get back to the surface. Before the full force of panic and fear could set in, she felt herself being pulled up. She spit out the mouthful of water she had nearly swallowed and coughed several times. It took nearly a full minute before she was finally able to catch her breath.
“Are you okay?”
She nodded because for some reason she couldn’t seem to find her voice. She had been so focused on being able to breathe again, it wasn’t until that moment she noticed the position she and Ron were in. His arms were holding onto her waist and her arms were wrapped around his neck. They were extremely close, so close that she could feel his breath on her face every time he breathed. They had never been this close before. She studied his cobalt eyes, seeing the concern playing across them. “Thanks,” she said, almost surprised to hear herself talking. The gentleness and concern that had been in his eyes a moment before, melted away. Now, they were blazing with anger.
“I know you have to be the bloody-well best at everything but that was just stupid,” he snapped at her.
“Ron, I’m sorry,” she apologized.
That did little to calm him. “What’s wrong with you? I wouldn’t have thought any less of you if you had just admitted you were tired.”
She had not seen him like this before. She thought he was more upset with her now then he had ever been in the past, but it had little to with anger. He was concerned for her, and it was affecting her more than she thought it would.
“We should go back,” he growled, looking away from her.
That was when she did something completely unexpected that surprised even herself. She removed one hand from around his neck and touched his cheek with it. That was enough to bring Ron’s head back around without any further prodding.
“I’m really sorry.” Even as she was saying it, she felt one hand move from her waist up to her back. The palm of his hand started drawing circle patterns on her back, and she let her eyes flutter shut. It didn’t seem to matter that it was Ron who was touching her. Ron, her best friend. Ron, who had helped save her from a troll when they were eleven. Ron, who was making her feel this good. It was all new to her. He was causing feelings to stir in her that she had long since kept hidden.
“Hermione,” he breathed.
She dared to open her eyes and forced herself to look straight at him. The fury in his eyes was gone, but she couldn’t read the expression on his face. He was looking at her in a way he never had before. She was waiting for him to say something – anything – to break the silence. She saw him look at her mouth and then his gaze dart back up to her eyes. Time seemed to tick by ever so slowly, with just the two of them wading alone in the water. When she caught Ron looking at her mouth again, her mind finally seemed to comprehend what was happening.
Then something happened that caused Ron’s whole attitude to change. He cleared his throat in a nervous gesture, saying, “We should probably head back now.”
She barely managed a nod of her head, as she felt Ron’s hands slip from around her waist as he guided them both back to the shore. They dried off in silence, which was perfectly fine with Hermione. She didn’t think she would have been able to speak to Ron at the moment if her life depended on it. But the silence that accompanied them on their walk back to Grimmauld Place was the most awkward and uncomfortable she had ever experienced in her life. She could say with certainty it was a swimming lesson she wouldn’t soon forget.”

Thanks to ICM and Lisa from R/E forums!

Look his face when he talks about Dumbleodore! :D

I never thought it would come the day that I would say I winned an award in HP fandom!
And much more an ADULT AWARD!!!

Thank you so much for those who had indicated my works for rhr_awards and also for those who had voted at my fanart!All of them were made thinking in all of you!





And For those who missed my post with a drawing yesterday, in spite of I had "spammed" your f-list:


Oh,CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS AND NOMINATEDS ON MY F-LIST!!!

"Ron, everyone loves Ron. I mean, who doesn’t like Ron…"
JKRowling, in her last interview, 4TH March 2008.


The idea for this picture came to me after I had seen a photo of a man holding a little baby, in internet. I had thought "it would be nice to see Ron and Hugo like this". So, as I’m "moved" by "personal pleasure" when I´m doing fanart, I made this scene of an intimate moment between dad and son.
While I was working on it, I told my friend spidergirl30 about the idea of she writes something to post with the image. I had asked her in a happy way: "Uhn, I tried to make something different on the background, an abstract effect, which I really like the result, with the contrast of the blue and orange colors, but it looks like Ron is in the shower with Hugo since both are naked!"! :D

In my opinion, Monica is one of the best writers about simple moments of my favorites characters. She could transform them in beautiful stories and memories, and I think this is extremely difficult. Again, she surprised me with this one! What she gave me in return was totally different of my funny suggestion: a wonderful drabble about that kind of inner thoughts, talk, that I think all parents have with themselves inside their minds! And, well, these could be the thoughts of Ron while he was giving a bath on his son, too! :D

Ok, the same subject again: the things that are making me reflect about to continue to do fanart.

You´ll notice that the drawing is dated November 2007. I decided to post only now, because this lovely work of Monica can´t be missed and also because of our community the_hp_love March Challenge about Ron. As you can imagine, I was a little bit reluctant in to show it.
Like I said so many times here and you all know (and might be tired to listen), I like to do portraits(yes, right, in a different way they should be), and that is what I think I can do best. Not that I can´t use another way to express myself by drawings, but this I can feel, it is the best way I can do it.

My friends, fanartists and writers should know what I´m talking about. You can be a good portrait drawer but not a good cartoon one, or a good story writer and not a very good poet. Not every musician is a composer. It´s wrong to think we can do everything well in the media we chose to express ourselves. This is just for a few lucky ones.

So I was reluctant because, well, this drawing I´m posting today is the kind of work that, how can I say… scares me!
Scares me because it shows me what I can do and what not everybody understand, since the thing I´m hearing most in the last times in the comments I got in some sites, is "although she made them look like the actors", bla bla bla... People that think this is the main thing about my art, don´t even taking their time to look the drawings in an artistic way, watching the technique, composition, ideas, etc (well, how often do this happen in fanart?).
Yes, I made them like this, it fills the "space" of my imagination (and I think of a lot of HP fans). And if I´m wrong, (what I have the certain I´m not), "throw me the first stone", but like Lavoisier said "in art and nature, nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed!":Every artist uses references!.
This one is the transformation of that first picture I had seen in the internet and I think I can say it is, as all my work, the transformation of JKR´s working as also, one of the actors, too! And Monica´s drabble is the one that came of my picture!

So, these are my and Mon´s contribuition to the_hp_love March Challenge, because we, like JK said, love Ron and because Mon loves to think on him using sideburns, here he is!Hope you like both works!

He's just a young boy looking for a way to find love
It isn't easy, nothing you can say will help him, find love
He's got to do it for himself
And it can take so long
He's just a young boy looking for a way to find love.

He doesn't need another helping hand from someone
But don't you think he doesn't understand what he wants, someone
Though independence means a lot
He's still got to be strong
He's just a young boy looking for a way to find love.

Find love, a perfect combination.
Find love, whatever you do.
Find love, a cause for celebration
And it might come looking
Come looking for you.

Find love, a time for meditation
Find love, a source of inspiration
Find love, instead of confrontation
Find love and love will
Come looking for you

My Son

“Your laughs sound better than the cheering voices from Chudley Canons fans filling the Quidditch Pitch.

Because your laughs fill our lives with joy, hope, and peace.

Your daily excitement in exploring anything new around you is better than a long and successful Wizard Chess strategy towards an inevitable victory against any of your uncles.

Because your enthusiasm is worth to me and your mum every minute we fought side by side with your Uncle Harry against the evilness in our world before you and your sister were born.

Your eyes are better than any vision of chocolate that your Grandmum Molly or your mum could bake on weekends and at holidays.

Because they are the same shape and colour of your mum’s. They have that kind of sweetness that warms a man’s life and makes any sacrifice worth it. They are better than real chocolate.

Your smile is better than any number of galleons kept in a vault.

Because money doesn’t provide the sense of accomplishment that parenthood gives to a man and a woman. It makes me feel braver, more fulfilled, like my parents taught me, even when we didn’t have a sickle in our pockets.
You and your sister make me feel prouder than ever.

You all, the two of you and your mum, are better that any Felix Felicis that I could drink during my whole life.”

Hi people!Just a quick update to show you the first photo of the trio in HBP! amieam just found it at Nick magazine and look how beautiful they are!Enjoy!

I have about 10 sketches to finish in the next days, months, years...All of them, including the last ones you saw here last week, were all done in November/December of the last year.

This work I´m posting today, took me so much time that I even can´t remember if I started to paint it last year! While I was finishing it last week, something occurred me. It was not a good feeling and maybe you can feel that my words are a little bit rude. When I first started to make HP fanart, it was for self pleasure, to see the scenes, images of the books and fanfics on a paper. Then I started to post them, and I met wonderful people that share with me the same love. But lately I´m having the feeling that I´m working so hard in a "fast food"!! Can you understand what I mean? Most of the things passes by and be updated so fast in this fandom, that people seems to be only like “hungry” here, don´t "tasting" all the flavours. So, why to work so hard? And will I be in the end in the same place I started: just doing them for self pleasure? So the "big" question is:

"Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?"

Tell me if you never had thought about this yourselves?
And I think even "The Clash" hasn´t an answer for this!
Maybe Andy Warhol: "In the future everyone will have their fifteen minutes of fame."
So probably the great challenge is to make works in fifteen minutes, "to feed" everybody, and got fifteen minutes of fame! :D Hahahah, am I looking a bit like Luna?Don´t mind, because I´m right you´ll forget all of this in the next fifteen minutes! :D

Well, these seems to be also the confusing thoughts and feelings running inside Ron´s head and heart in HBP, and well, he literately "went away" in DH!!
With this work, I wanted to do a drawing that tells about his uncertains, doubts and the pain he imposed to himself, Hermione and of course, Lavender. Also, I have been feeling through times to times a need to see Ron/Rupert in Quidditch robes.So here I am again! :D Glad to know that my urgency will end in few months!
During the many hours I´ve worked on it, an incredible and smart story of a good friend of mine, risiepookie , never left my mind and why did I always find a perfect song to hear during the work, in "The Beatles" repertory?

Please tell me what you think about "this trio": Story, Songs and Drawing! And like Risie said and it´s so true for this part of R& Hr lives, remember: "there's more than meets the eye happening here." ;)

Look what you're doing, I'm feeling blue and lonely,
Would it be too much to ask you,
What you're doing to me?

You got me running and there's no fun in it,
Why should it be so much to ask of you,
What you're doing to me?

I've been waiting here for you,
Wond'ring what you're gonna do,
Should you need a love that's true,
It's me.

Please stop your lying, you've got me crying,
Why should it be so much to ask of you,
What you're doing to me?

Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You really got me

( Stronger than me by RisiepokieCollapse )

One of the things that has been impressing me most, and well, of course, I think every HP fan, it’s the richness of details that came from one only wonderful mind: JKR´s.

And this is also what I have been searching for everytime I read a fanfic in this fandom. Mostly of the stories that have impressed me a lot, has its own world, created around the original one. For example, "Of Heart and Heroes", "Price of love", and so one, for telling you just some of the most famous, and of course all the work written by redblaze.

This is one thing I try to put also on my work, and in spite of being a visual one, I get really thoughtful of how a few people stops to look at them.
For example, in one of my latest "Isn´t she lovely?" only a few people mentioned about Rose´s holding Ron´s finger, or the wedding rings on his and Hermione´s fingers, and some, only after I had mentioned them!

On fanart, mostly of the times, we can´t guide the completely understand of the work if you not point it, or if the viewer doesn´t give it a few minutes of appreciation. What I don´t think it happens in a well written fanfic. Although, sometimes, you have forgotten them during the reading, the details always have got you at the first time you put the eyes on them. And Kele´s work is full of beauty ones.

This drawing from "More than Memories" chapter 24 was all handmade too, with watercolor and watercolor pencils. When you will see it, maybe you are going to ask me:"Is this Ron’s flat?" And I’ll answer with a passage of the first chapter:

"He breathed a sigh of relief when he spotted the gray outline of the cabin. He considered kipping there for the night, but really, it was a bit rustic for Ron's tastes. He preferred his nice, modern flat. He'd never understand Harry, all that money and he buys rickety old cabins in the woods. His best mate was becoming a right eccentric in his old age."

Details.


A "little preview" from the last chapter Kele wrote, you will full read in the next days, and the drawing I made for this scene:


"You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold.
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.

You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the
grave
When all I want is you.

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the
grave
When all I want is you.

You, all I want is you
All I want is you"


She turned back to Ron, who had been kneeling there on the floor, waiting for her to calm down. She took another long drink of the brandy, emptying the glass and setting it on the table with force.

“Ask me to marry you, Ron,” she told him.

He smirked. “I told you I wasn’t asking anymore.”

“Oh, course not.” Hermione glared at him and snapped, “Ask me, Goddamnit!”

“You’re drunk,” Ron said, picking up the empty brandy bottle and shaking it. He pulled a face, looking down at it. “You finished it? You’re very drunk!”

“Do it!” she yelled at him.

“No,” he said, shaking his head. “No way.”

Hermione pulled out her wand and held it to his throat as she growled, “Ask me to marry you, Ronald.”

Before, we talk about my last work, I want to thank you my friends. I was nominated again this year in some categories for rhr_awards.It's always a pleasure to know that someone reminded my work and I'm still hanging up my opened moth for the nomination in "Outstanding Adult Art" with The Kiss(Rodin) But I think in the end we all could deserve a prize in fandom!No money(or few for some people), sometimes no recognition for hours of dedication in giving a kind of entertainment to a great number of people tired to work, tired of life problems, that has the same passion of you. We are all winners in the end!

***
How many things have you been leaving incomplete in your life? The piano and ballet classes, for example. That drawing left in the last drawer, that friend you haven't met for a long time, that love that would never be, the letter you have never written, the dreams that will still be dreams?

Everybody have stories without an ending in their lives.

This is how I've planned to make my post, when the idea of making this series of drawings came to my mind. Drawings that I'm charging myself to make since I've read, last year, for the first time, this story that it's became one of my favorite R&Hr fanfics ever.
A fic that it has been writing for a long time, with a few delays between updates. I thought that this fanfic would be another one that was left without an ending. Another unfinished thing in my and so many Kele´s fans lives, aka redblaze or Bluerain in fandom.

But, like the phoenix (that we HP fans know so well) reborns from the ashes, lot of stories that were left aside for a while, they are brought back to life. I've started to draw again about two years ago, after some years without doing it properly.And then Kele gave us two chapters of this story almost in the same month, in the final of the last year.

This made me want so much to put the idea of making the drawings of the story in practice. So I've contacted Kele and told this to her and asked about some details, about a specific one, that has caught my attention during the many times I've read her story.

And two days after I sent Kele the message, I opened my email and she had sent me the chapter 24th finished for saying:

"Your email made me go, oh, hell. . .Because, heh. . .I never knew WHAT to put on the sword. . . It was always in the back of my mind, like, I got to come up with SOMETHING interesting. So you had me thinking about it all day. . . Really, this email had me really pondering. . .And in the end, I started writing MTM's and I finished a third chapter. . . And in it, you'll see his sword and what it says. . . LOL! You can personally say you had a part in creating the story, because I probably wouldn't have brought it up yet. . ."

So HP fandom brought to me, one more time, a great and happy moment through one of the best fanfics authors ever!

I think many of my friends will remember a post that I did last year where I said that I've got a Tattoo, won’t you?
Yes, this was what I meant, the Kele's present for me: "More than memories" Ron's tattoo!!!

For you, now, an exclusive snippet from chapter 24, where Kele mentioned the tattoo:

"Ron sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled his shirt off, tugging it by the collar over his head and tossing it aside. When he leaned over to take his shoes off, Hermione rolled over to him and reached up, tracing the lines of the sword tattooed on his back.

"Honour above all things", she said slowly, tilting her head to read the inscription running down the length of the sword. “Do you want to know what honourable men do, Ron?"
"What do they do?" he asked as he threw one shoe aside and started on the other.
"They always keep their promises," she murmured. "

And this was the best way I found to show my gift to you, my first drawing of "More than Memories"( I'll post on Thursday another one). I hope you like the way it came out and remember that the original drawing was all handmade, the tattoo has about 2 inches on it and of course, I'm not a tattoo designer! :D

This picture is about chapter 19 and I must have reminding everybody that it´s a NC17story.

How come
You never know what you got
Until it's gone?
Too bad
Cause I never felt so good with anyone
How fooled was I
Into thinking I was gonna be alright?
Okay, fine

So every day I try a little harder
To forget her
Lie here, convince myself
Tomorrow will be better

The trouble is
I can't get her out of my mind
When I close my eyes at night
Who's gonna save me
Now she's gone?
The trouble is
There's a part of me
That still can't let go
Of her memory
And now I know what it is
Love is what the trouble is

Love is what the trouble is

First of all, thanks for everybody that commented on my last post.Your lovely words are a confort to my heart.
Here is the post I was planning for last week.I decided I won´t lock it, but it is still rating, both the art as the text as a R.So if you under 17 years old, please wait a little bit more. ;)


When I was younger, my parents and I had used to talk a lot about friendship and sibling bonds. By that time, I thought that I would never share any sibling bonds, due I was an only child. Life has taught me that I was wrong.

My parents taught me if a friendship ends, then it had never been true. A real friendship earn against any obstacle, including time or distance. Then later, I found that I could have brothers and sisters behind blood bonds.

My point about sharing these thoughts with all of you is that next November 28th is my LJ One year Birthday. That was the day I posted my first fanart online, here at this same page.
On that day, I couldn’t ever imagine that I would find so many nice people, friends and a sister: Monica. spidergirl30. And that made me quite happy, dear friends!

It´s really sad that Monica and I have an "ocean" between us. She lives in Portugal, I live in Brazil. But it isn’t and it won’t ever be an obstacle to feel the warm of her “virtual embraces”, the sweetness of her words and the deepness of our friendship!

We both are Ron and Hemione die hard fans and we decided to make a joining effort to show the love of this couple to our friends: bringing together my drawings and her stories. This is our first work. And there couldn’t be better subject as this we choose for we start our partnership!

Sister, your daily emails, and the power of your support will keep me going in the research to find always a new way to tell to the world the love we share mutually: the love about THE LOVE!


To my friend Monica a Sonnet of our partner of thematic:

Why is my verse so barren of new pride,
So far from variation or quick change?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods and to compounds strange?
Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth and where they did proceed?
O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument;
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.

William Shakespeare , Sonnet LXXVI


After "Deathly Hallows" came out, I’ve thought: "All right, now it’s done. Let’s enjoy what the fan artists, fan writers will bring to us!!"

Well , I am a bit disappointed. What I’ve been seeing is less stuff about Ron and Hermione and more about non canon ships….
I have crossed with several theories and points of views regards the "not very welcome" DH Epilogue:
Ron had an affair (I´m quite unsure if this the right name) with Lavender Brown or with Draco Malfoy; Harry and Ron were secret lovers apart from their marriages; Hermione had a hot relationship with Teddy;
Hermione’s children were Draco’s and not Ron’s; Hermione had one of her children with Ron and the other with Harry.
And so one and so one...
Some days ago, I’ve made a post about censor, so who am I to say anything against these people’s writing/ drawings choices?
HP characters are fictional and all of us have our imagination, our way of seeing the things so everyone must keep doing their work as they prefer. We all are free agents, right?
I rather believe Ron and Hermione shared a true love for each other, a really hard thing to find in nowadays that, in my opinion, JK Rowling did so well in Ron and Hermione relationship over the books. She showed us their love was true and mutual.
Ron and Hermione completed each other. They had always found in each other the point where everything started: they’re friends first of all and that was much important in their lives.
Their strong friendship was the mainly reason that brought the love
growing between them and made them be able to love each other now and then.That's why I love to draw them everyday of my life: the many ways Ron and Hermione were, they are and they will be the first , the lasts and uniques loves in each other lives!

And that’s what I love to drawing everyday of my life!

Some of you could say: okay, so you’re not very creative…

My answer would be: I think this is the most creative and more difficult relationship we all could imagine for them (or should I tell for everybody?), because "dressing old words as new", living situations/events again that they have already lived (among others examples), it makes writing or drawing about them always being exciting.
Something new is always explored everytime a fan artist/writer does a work about Ron and Hermione and that’s quite fascinating.
As the sun rises like new daily and it’s such ancient thing, Ron and Hermione love can be raised everyday by his fans as they were telling their love story for the first time.
What a challenge to us, don’t you think?


My new Ron nad Hermione´s drawing was based in another of my favorite art pieces "The Kiss" by Rodin. Another love I found at my teen age times and it was on my plans for an R/Hr picture withthe "other" “Kiss” I made, the Klimt’s, which was (and still is) one of my greatest happiness from the fandom world because it had such great feedback from LJ users and also from DeviantArt’s users as well.

What impress me most on this sculpture are the spiral movement of the couple and the size of their hands and arms!!It looks like they were telling how they were involved by the act, the kiss, the LOVE!

Monica wrote a wonderful fic that completes it, or better, it give us the mirrored image of the drawing in words.

We hope you enjoy and tell us your thoughts!

While a north american housewife is sentenced to pay a little fortune to the record companies for share music files on internet, Radiohead is releasing their new album, that just for its concept, in my opinion, is already, the "Sgt. Pepper´s" of this century.
It´s a "free album".
Well, not so much.
You pay how much you think the songs you made the download, worth for you.
So if you didn´t pay the band anything, you´re saying their work doesn´t worth anything.Is a direct relation, between you and the musicians.Between you and the value of the music itself, for you.Between you and your conscience.
At the end, you pay them with your money or with your mind.
Maybe it isn´t a perfect one, but is a new way for a difficult subject about the internet.

Why am I talking about this?Because, it´s something I´m thinking since I read these news, and it´s an important question for us, fanartists, fanwriters, that "really" have a "free work".How much do our works worth?How much do you want "to receive" by them?How much do people really "pay" for them?How many times did you have a "free" material to watch, read, listen and didn´t "pay" anything even thinking it was something good?Are you paying the right value for what your "buying"?

I have my answers, do you have yours?
Don´t worry, it´s between you and you.
And like Radiohead said, in one of their new songs, "One by one, come to us all"!


Well, lets talk about drawings, HP and others little things...


I don´t know if I told you this before but, in spite of being a mother (and this is the most difficult and pleasure work I had all my life) twenty four hours a day, I´m graduated in Architecture and Plastic Arts.Yes, TWO university degrees.
I can´t remember a time of my life that art wasn´t on it.My father was an advertising illustrator.I spent a lot of my childhood (and also my teenage) time around him drawing and we have a lot of books about art in our house.I was always looking, reading and talking with him about them.

So, because of this, I had since early times, artists that were (and still are) like "Rock" idols for me.Their pictures are so strong in my life that I remember exactly the first time I saw some of them.

This drawing I´m showing today, came to me, by the desire of to see my fav couple represented in one of them."The Kiss" of Gustave Klimt is considered one of the best descriptions of the union between a woman and a man in the history of art!If you look with attention you´ll see it´s like there´s no beginning and end in their figures, one completing each other in the forms and colours.

I choose this image to illustrate a passage we didn´t read on JK´s books.One of the many she left for our own imagination.
Before DH release, one of the things I wanted so much to read on it was Bill
and Fleur wedding!I was always wondering how could be this moment in the magical world (that we could have a kind of special magical binds for example) and I have to confess, it was a little bit frustrating, too much "normal".
When I finished the book, I started to work in this drawing/painting version of Klimt´s picture, that for me, could illustrate the union between Ron and Hermione.
While I was doing it, I start to think that it was clear for me their unity since the beginning, how much each one complete the other, and how could it be their wedding after all the losses they suffered.So in my mind, all I dreamed before DH was eliminated, and this moment would it be just for both of them, because they feel this had really happenned since one got in each other´s life.
As usual for me, I found the perfect song for this moment of them:"The Secret Marriage" from Sting.A very delicate song, with beautiful lyrics, that tells so much about "soul mates".
What I wasn´t expecting for, was to find the right description of the scene in my mind, in Ron´s thoughts of the one shot story, wrote by my friend Linda(Pigwithhair) "Duet".
It´s a NC-17 and I hope you could read it, if you still didn´t, to complete all this image.

The drawing/painting was all made with watercolours, and I have to confess, I think is one of the most complex fanarts I made.It took me soooo much time and it seems to me, at a certain moment, I was doing a one million pieces puzzle.The colours, forms, proportions are based in the picture and its a pity that after I scaned it, we can´t see the golden ink I used (oh, Ron´s cloths) all over it like it was used by Klimt in the original one!

I´m planning to do more things like this.It was really a good experience for me.

This one is dedicated to my oldest son, which will turn fourteen years old next Sunday!
The first dreamed and wanted fruit of a secret, public, canon, deep and eternal marriage.
I love you, dear!


"The Secret Marriage"

No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission

No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour

The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage never can be broken

No flowers on the alter
No white veil in your hair
No maiden dress to alter
No bible oath to swear

The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage never can be broken



"Ron couldn’t sleep. Had she really come into the bathroom when he’d been… had she really done that to him? Said those things? It seemed unreal yet the evidence was curled around him, sleeping contentedly. He knew this was how he wanted to spend every night.
Tomorrow they would talk. There would be no big wedding like Bill and Fleur’s.
Ron shuddered at the mere thought.

Something Fred had said came back to him and he felt the now familiar pang that filled him whenever he thought of his dead brother. Fred had thought the whole wedding thing complete bollocks and Ron was inclined to agree. Harry would be there, of course and they could just get Hagrid and Hermioine’s parents, and Ron figured they could tell his mum about five minutes before the ceremony. It would be small and simple and afterwards they could all have dinner out in the garden at the Burrow. There was no other place Ron would consider at which to get married and he was fairly sure Hermione would feel the same.
He knew she loved it there. And then she could move in here. It would be just the two of them.

Yeah, Ron thought as he relaxed against Hermione’s sleeping form, just the two of us."

("Duet" by Pigwithhair)

I´m trying to finish a post with a new drawing for today but I don´t know if I´ll manage to do it, meanwhile... our idol!

I know you won´t mind of my post and I hope you enjoy it, because today is one of the FAB FOUR´s birthday!Yes, IT´S his birthday!One of the greatest genius of humanity´s story!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN!!!

For all of you rememind him, a song , I think is one of the HOTTEST ever!!!!And it maches with my icon soooooooo well!!!!







It will be funny and great if you could post your favorite of them or him today!!!!!!!

After the explosion of my icon default at my face (never mind, just another crazyness, right Lely?) I´m back with a drawing.

Excuse me for my laziness in the last days.I´m enjoying much more the time I´m spending drawing, even if the results are very different.You know how hard could be the search for new things,techniques?


This, I´m almost sure, it´s my last "open to everyone" post at this page.I´ll still keeping the drawings posts here, but my friends know how I like to talk about my thoughts over the time I spend working, so this will be just for them, and excuse me those that never made a comment and have their LJ pages blanks, I will be "defriending"(is this right?) and inviting you to watch lilly_art (well, everybody will be invited) where all
the same drawings will be post.If you still want to watch this one tell me in the comments.


My first drawing after(and about) DH.I made it before Rupert´s card and it´s a scene of "The Silver Doe", my favourite chapter and not just because it´s important for (also) my favourite character, Ron (I have to confess I´d fallen in love for Harry in this book,too), but because on it we can see one of the most beautiful scenes in all HP story: two boys turning to men!Not afraid to face their fears and feelings,not afraid to hold each other and to cry.

I found out on it too, some references of an old passion of mine: King Arthur´s legends and tales.In my latness teenage times(how long time ago) I read many books about them, and of course watched movies and read novels( I was crazy about Marion Z. Bradley´s"The Mists of Avalon").I also remember one progressive rock musician, that I doubt any of my friends under 35 years old, know:Rick Wakeman, a piano virtuose, something that it seems doesn´t fit anymore in the actual times.He has a whole album about "King Arthur´s legends" recorded with The London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus.This was the music I heard making this drawing and as I want to make much more drawings of this chapter, you´ll have the opportunity, just for curiosity, to download all of the album´s songs I´ll be putting here.
Listen to them, they are strange and different but I´m sure you´ll "see" Harry running behind Snape´s patronus through the trees!



MERLIN THE MAGICIAN


"By Wart the King of Merlin
Struck foot most far before us
His birds and beasts supply our feast
And his feats our glorious chorus."



I can feel, no matter how many times I will read this in my life, always will be like the first one, the shiver runnig through my skin!


THE SILVER DOE


"A bright silver light appeared right ahead of him, moving through the trees.Whatever the source, it was moving soundlessly.The light seemed simply to drift towards him.
He jumped to his feet, his voice frozen in his throat, and raised Hermione´s wand.He screwed up his eyes as the light became blinding, the trees in front of it pitch black in silhouette, and still the thing came closer...
And then the source of the light stepped out from behind an oak.It was a silver-white doe, moon-bright and dazzling, picking her way over the ground, still silent, and leaving no hoof prints in the fine powdering of snow.She stepped towards him, her beautiful head with its wide, long-lashed eyes held high.
Harry stared at the creature, filled with wonder, not at her strangeness, but at her inexplicable familiarity.He felt that he had been waiting for her to come, but that he had forgotten, until this moment, that they had arranged to meet.His impulse to shout for Hermione, wich had been so strong a moment ago, had gone.He knew, he would staked his life on it, that she had come for him, and him alone.
They gazed at each other for several long moments and then she turned and walked away.
'No', he said, and his voice was cracked with lack of use 'Come back!' "



A little kidding with you:THERE ARE THREE FIGURES IN THIS PICTURE!!!!


The technique I used was pastels chalks, pastels pencils and watercolour pencil for the little details.
And I´m totally in love with my cerulaean sky!:D

I had to post this because it made my day, hope makes yours!!!

"EVER PRESENT PAST"

Quick up date for those who are missing the boys!

As some of you must know by now, I and spidergirl30 have a new Deathly Hallows Missing Moments Challenge up at our community the_hp_love


It´s a sucess and almost all the fics missing moments had been choosen(but we still have some, if any writer is interested).

We still need fanartists for the two Art tables.So, as I have many in my friends-list, hope some of you could give us the pleasure to join this challenge and show more of your art to everyone!

Here is the link for the challenge (the Art table are the last ones):

And for those who didn´t see my post yesterday(what I doubt, because I´m still shouting so loud that I think all the world are listening)Rupert´s answer for the birthday card:

http://lillywmw.livejournal.com/16229.html

And the gift lelymarques gave me:



Many kisses***

RUPERT

WATCHES LILLY!



What can I say? I really can´t imagine anything because I´m in heaven!!!!

Here is the message he sent to RupertGrint.net:

"Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you, I really loved my birthday card;
the illustrations are wicked and spot on, as for the messages wow!!
I'm still reading them – I'm up to 2253 (hence my reply being ages!!)
I can’t believe I'm 19, I had a brilliant time this year visiting Paris,
Canada, NY and LA - the hand, wand, and foot ceremony was an incredible experience,
of which I will never forget.

I had a cool summer- Lanzarote was brilliant (and I didn’t even burn, ha ha!!!)

Now I'm really looking forward to start filming the Half-Blood Prince. I'm sure
it's going to be a great film, once again. As always, I'd like to thank you all
for your support – it’s a great feeling to know that you are all behind me and
if I could, I’d send you all a big hug and an ice cream from my van.

Love
Received September 21, 2007"

And he also sent this amazing picture for the site!








I think the most important thing is the lesson we all can learn from this:

"Believe in your dreams and fight for them!" :D :D

And of course nothing of what happened would be possible without the support of all of you, my
friends, since the first work I posted here almost a year ago!!!

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!Million of kisses!!!!!!

A special hug to lelymarques and spidergirl30
for their help in my community rupwatcheslilly and my friends at RG.net,
Stephanie, Kait ,Natasha and all the site staff!

Oh, but don´t forget, this ice cream in his hand is mine!!:D

The bithday card with the messages, if you didn´t see it yet:

http://www.rupertgrint.net/bdaycard/


And I still can´t believe that I dreamed with him for the first time this night saying he saw the drawing!!!!Oh, my God!
"There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy!"

This is a BIG post, but PLEASE read it all, till the end, and be patient with the downloads of the images if you have dial!


As great part of you know by now, I was invited to make Rupert´s Birthday card last month by RupertGrint.net.I was excited with the idea, since they posted an online card that finished, by the date of his birthday August 24th, with more of 7.000 messages!
To represent these fans was a very important mission!

What was your first idea thinking on me doing this?Yes, I know, a Rupert´s
portrait!

But...one of the conditions was that his face couldn´t appear on it!
Well, I understood their point of view, which was that would be strange for someone to get a card with his portrait on it, in spite of, I myself, woudn´t mind in get portraits made by any of the fanartists friends of my list!

Thinking on this and talking with my friend lelymarques I came to the conclusion that I would put Rupert on it anyway!And the idea to show him to his fans by a different way and also to give him a memory of his 19th year was formed.After a big research about a lot of things any of his fans associate with him, I start to work,and decided to use, again, a technique I haven´t be using a long time: watercolours!

You´re thinking: "You´re crazy woman!"Well, maybe but I did it with such a pleasure and love that I think, any technical mistake, could be covered by them!!

So I did three drawings, a work for the cover, where you will find a lot of things Rupert said he loves, like if they were over some place covered by the Union Jack flag.Hope everyone could take a little of of your time to see every detail, like the light on the stones of the Horcrux in the DH book cover, which is so important for Ron´s character, and where I had more than six hours of work;the exact model of the wand Rupert uses as Ron in the movies, the colours of his "Converse" trainers, now immortalized on Hollywood´s "The Walk of Fame"; the light and bright of the ice-cream and CDs´ covers and the minimuns drawings of the DVDs´ covers and on the Mini-Cooper and ice-cream van photos.


The others two arts are, one for the inside part of the card, where you´ll see a piece of cake with some decoration over it imitating the flowers of the site homepage header and a unicycle and the other one with the trainers, a golf ball, an ice-cream and Ron´s wand, used as a banner on the online card.

All the photoshop works( the screen of the laptop, the letters of the greetings, the frame) was made by lelymarques.

Before I show them to you, I want to talk about a song again.A Beatles´ song, again!One that was my "mantra" this time!One that I learned to love since I was a teenage(oh long,long time ago) and that every year of my life that passes by, makes more sense!In spite of I had spend more than 60 hours working on a material thing, the card, drawing materials things, for sure, what I want you all to see in this drawing is the LOVE!In all the the work I had, and in the sweetest person it is direct for.This is all that matters in the end!Love, and how much of this feeling you put in everything you do and share with everyone you meet and have some meaning in your life!


And this song tells everything, more in these days me and my friends here at LJ, lost the friendship of a beautiful girl, just a nineteen years old one, like Rupert!


Jordan, your memory and love will always be with us!


"There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compared with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more... "




( Full image of the card and more...Collapse )

I discovered Arctic Monkeys by Rupert Grint.And it was love "at first listening"!!:D
And then Lely discovered Alex Turner´s band by me!And now I have as a friend the biggest AM´s fan of all South Hemisphere!!And today is her Birthday!


So this couldn´t passes by without a little gift for my lovely "Sunshine"


lelymarques



Again a quick work, and yesterday while we´re chating I was thinking"I won´t finish it,I won´t finish it"!!So consider this and that I never draw Alex before!!:D
And definitely, to work with colours pencils is totally different than just use a black lead one!!


For you Lely dream tonight with three blocks I know you love:

Dan, for you to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk...

Alex, to sing and dance with you.

Rupert, for you laugh, smile and eat an ice cream with him.

Well, this is just a suggestion...



Anyway, have a great day, a wonderfull year and a lot of happiness!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LELY!!!!!!!!!!


( THREE BLOCKS FOR A GAURLLLCollapse )

I´m sure great part of my friends are thinking now,"Oh, here she is!"Because it´s Rupert Grint´s Birthday and I have to say somethig!

In fact, I´m celebrating his birthday more than him in the last days!!:D
I spent all my free time of this month doing his birthday card and some other things about it for RG.net which I finished last weekend.I´ll post here as soon as the site put it online, because you know, they have priorities over them.

I was thinking in make another work for Rup and for my friends here at LJ,and I couldn´t help myself even my last days are passing by very lazily,so much painkillers and antipyretics on my blood because I got flu.

I bought in the last month some new art stuffs like watercolours and pastels,and I´m feeling like a little child with a lot of new toys and couldn´t being playing with them so much!

Yesterday I made quickly this Rupert´s portrait with pastels, so I´m asking all of you to be patient during my experiences because it´s being soooo much time since I used all these media.No, I don´t give up my pencils and HP world, but like I told you, I want to try others technicals, others themes, because like great part of you, I´m here just for fun, just to make things that make me feel well.

And although, this one was made in just a few time, it has also a story behind.

First, I think you´ll like to see this little clip from one of my favorites movies,(and because I like the idea of share videos like a lot of my friends are doing)"Almost Famous":




I could say a lot about this movie (better if it was on my mother language) but maybe, what I like most on it, is the way it shows the idol and the fan sides and that, although we are in differents places in front of world´s eyes, how we need and give ourselves to each others and at the end we are all humans, with the same needs, fears...

I was totally in "Almost Famous" mood, listening Elton John´s "Tiny Dancer", when I saw the HP movie trio "Walk of Fame" ceremony photos and video.And there, was so clear for me, seeing their interaction with each other and the public, Daniel jumping more than ever,Emma laughing and Rupert shaking hands, "They are so equal as the people on the other side of the line, but they aren´t there anymore a long time,and by this moment, with the printings in the cement, this is forever!"

So, the idea of this drawing came to me.And it was funny to see how Ron´s last lines, that I read days after the happening, fit it so well!!

Yes, you´re on the other side, Rupert, giving and receiving so much, sometimes with a high price.You can´t neither say "Hy!" for me and all the fans of yours that see this page,but I know if someday you find my drawings, and the people that always come to this page to see them and have a lot of tenderness for you and your work, you´ll know that here,


"YOU ARE HOME!"


"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUPERT!!!"

( Read more...Collapse )

This is my first post after "Deathly Hallows"!Well it´s better nt to say this, because I´m still reading it!I´m still in love with it!Yes, every night I open it in any page and read again!!Like I said to some friends, for me this wasn´t the last one,but the one to last!!

So I´m still enjoying DH and all the reviews I´ve being reading last days!And what to talk about the art!A lot of people doing amazing drawings like reallycorking,mudblood428,seviet,caladan_dd and so many others!

It´s not that I don´t want to join the party!You know I´m in the mood much before the release, and I´m certain many of you thought on me after read one of my dreams comming cannon(wow, how I screamed!):
( Come and danceCollapse )

I´m just going slowly these days and with the feeling I´ll have all the time now to make something about the book.I started one but it will have to wait a little, because well, I´ll tell you why...

This post is to invite all my LJ friends to sign Rupert´s 19th Birthday card!It will be online this month until Rupert´s birthday on the 24th, at RupertGrint.net :

( Rupert Grint´s on line Birthday CardCollapse )


After this it will be printed out and sent to Rupert.

And I´m very happy and proud to say that I was invited by the site staff to make the cover!
So, don´t lose the opportunity to show in words, all love and the tenderness
"our Ron Weasley in the flesh" deserves!!

And you can imagine my friends, how happy I am, because finally I´ll have the certain:


RUPERT WILL WATCH LILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Mum, my friend in school told me Harry loves Hermione!!Oh, he doesn´t understand anything about Harry Potter!Ron and Hermione will be together!"

This was my little boy that will turn seven years old this Saturday!Yes I have two reasons for have a big party in this day!He´s a big fan of HP and it was after I saw him saying all Ron´s lines that I noticed better Rupert acting!His impression of Ron in front of the mirror in GOF is amazing!
So this drawing is for you my "baby boy"!And I know, maybe you´ll never read these words but is on you and your sibilings I´m thinking all the time!My love for you is bigger than anything you can imagine!And nothing better to represent it that a love that will be forever in history!A love that will be beyond the time...

It seems that everybody is out the internet these days!I´m just checking LJ f-list because, untill now everybody is being respectful and putting spoilers and comments under cuts,but today I´openned the net an there was a NYT critic of the book!Oh, my God, what the fun in this?The waiting is part of the party!We waited ten years, why don´t just more few days, hours now?
I´m prepared!I lived the magic with all the intensity!" Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad" they must come now!And I´ll see you, my friends, on the other side!

Part four:"Let´s stay together!"

"He stoped in the middle of the ballroom, pulled her closer, with a hand
in her waist.The other, he held tight over his chest.She tought"Oh, his heart is
beating as fast as mine!"
And inchs of her face he asked:
"Mione?"
Suddenly there weren´t more music, or people talking, laughing...
"Yes, Ron?"
"Do you wanna be my girl?"
"Always, Ron, always!"

"I, I'm so in love with you,
whatever you want to do,
is alright with me,
'cause you make me feel
so brand-new,
I want to spend my life with you,
they say it seems, baby,
since we've been together,
loving you forever,
is what I need.
Let me be the one you come runnin' to,
I'll never be, ah, untrue,
Ooo baby,
Let's... Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad,
whether time are good or bad,
happy or sad.

Why, somebody?,
Why do people break up,
and turn around and make up?
I just can't see.
You'd never do that to me
(would you baby)?
Being around you,
is all I see.
Here's what I want to do:
Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad.
(come on)
Let's... Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad..."

Part one:( I saw her standing thereCollapse )

Part two:( Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!Collapse )

Part three:

Do you wanna dance?

"Oh, Merlin!He´s coming!"
He crossed the room never taking his eyes out of her!She was shaking!
"Hermione!"
"Ron!"
"Dunno...do you?
"What?"
"Do you...?"
"Do you what? Ron?"
"Do you wanna...you know!"
"No, I don´t know, Ronald!Tell me!"
"Do you wanna... sort of...you know, dance?"
"Oh, yes, Ron, yes!"Both were smilling at each other when he held her hand, walking to the dance floor.
"Ron, I thought you´re never going to ask me..."
"Mione?"
"The party is almost over..."
"Mione?"
"People are leaving..."
"Hermione, the night is only starting and we..."
"I know, but the music..."
"Mione?"
"And maybe we don´t have time..."
He stoped in the middle of the ballroom, pulled her closer, with a hand
in her waist.The other, he held tight over his chest.She tought"Oh, his heart is beating as fast as mine!"
And inchs of her face he asked:
"Mione?"
Suddenly there weren´t more music, or people talking, laughing...
"Yes, Ron?"
"Do you wanna be my girl?"
"Always, Ron, always!"

"Do you wanna dance and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?
Do you wanna dance girl and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?
Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Love me girl all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Yes, do you wanna dance I mean under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?"

"Not at Last Resort" Forun:
( HereCollapse )

Last year I started to post my fanart and have the special support of two wonderful sites.I had never thanked them properly here, so this is my opportunity because I don´t know what will happen to me, with all fandom, after next Saturday!I´m planning to make some locked posts just for my f-list and a special birthday gift, you know, for a "guy" which birthday is next month, but we have the book in the middle so I don´t know when I´ll finished them (and will miss two importants birthdays between, Harry´s and Dan´s).I want to try again others techniques that I used much more in the past than watercolour pencils, like watercolours and pastels!I want to continue in fandom, but still don´t know how much of my next stuff will be involved with HP world, Ron and Hermione and with Rupert!I hope to have all of you still by my side no matter the road I´ll choose to go on.


So, this post is dedicated to Stephanie, Kait, Claire and all the staff from RupertGrint.net, the first site to publish and believe in my work last year, with the "Driving Lessons´ Christmas Calendar"and for having a page with my drawings in their gallery!I will always be thankfull for your kindness!
And also to Tao, Jo, Jesi, AJ, Darlene and all the girls from RupertGrint.us, the first one that gave me a special place in its gallery and support to my LJ pages!If you´re a Rupert fan and never read the comments page of "Ice Cream Man" you´re missing one of the most amazing fans´page ever!Every night the girls chat on it, and it´s so funny and dynamic, that I doubt if Rupert himself doesn´t stay connect on it, enjoying them!No, I don´t doubt, because the girls got, some days ago, a letter from Nigel, Rup´s dad, saying all the family watches the site!Congratulations!
Thank you all!

Part Two:

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I´m yours"

He couldn´t take his eyes of her.He didn´t even eat.Well...just a little.
Three years ago he realised she was a girl.Not that he didn´t notice before,
but you know, a girl fanciable.Now, she´s not a girl anymore! "She´s "Beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous, stunning...oh I need more butterbeer, no firewiskey, no butterbeer!"
He was, in the last days, last hours, asking himself if he deserved to be a Gryffindor! "Where´s your corage man?"He needs just to be absoluty sure that he is what she wants before he takes the next step, he needs...one more look at her."Oh, Merlin!She´s looking at me!She´s smilling at me!"The time is now !"I need to go there, take her in my arms,dance with her, hug her, kiss her, and after all the madness, be with her forever, marry her, have with her, a lot of "BEAUTIFUL REDHEAD BABIES"!!"
Whitout even look, he threw the fully glass of butterbeer on Harry´s hands!
Harry frightened "Woww...it´s, it´s, it´s, it´s...Where are you going man?Oh...well...right...finally!!"

"Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong

Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry

I've done alot of foolish things
that I really didn't mean
Hey, hey, yea, yea, didn't I, oh baby

Seen alot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing, girl

Oo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you are my only desire

I've done alot of foolish things
that I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man but here I am
With your future, got your future babe

Oh, you've got the future in your hand

Here I am baby
signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!"

Did I mention how I love Rupert´s blazers??Yes, specially the linings!

The song:
( Signed, sealed, delivered, I´m yoursCollapse )

The first drawing of the challenge:
( I saw her standing there!Collapse )

Back in January, this year,I was doing things a mother of three kids has to do "sometimes" in the kitchen.It was the day we knew about the "Deathly Hallows" release.Don´t think I'm a "normal" mother.Maybe I´m deaf 80% of the time because my iPod phones are now, a part of my body!Yes, I was using them in the kitchen (someday I will burn my "little precious")!Thinking what I would like to see in the book, I heard two old songs, and the idea burned in my mind like the gravy in the pan!

I made three drawings, just in lines, and they were left aside till amieam came with this wonderful idea for the the_hp_love challenge:"What would you like to read in DH?".So I thought "they are asking me to finish them"!They were put in a second plan, maybe because a lot of my viewers want from me a photograph quality.I never will have this skill.Being my work made in the traditional way, all my mistakes are visible( I can´t change the colour or hide wrong lines of it with just one click)so I accepted now, they are a part of the drawing, telling its story and how I managed to do it !

I worked on them for the last mounth, and in this weekend I made a new record!After about 30 hours of work, a fourth one is here with me!While I was doing them some fics were posted for the challenge(I´ll put the links for them in a next post) over the same idea I had!Wow, so many people with only one dream for Ron and Hermione, maybe it will come true in the book!

I´ll tell you in four posts what are my dreams for them.First one:

"I saw her standing there!"

They´ve been around each other all the summer, planning, talking, supporting each other, flirting, but some way their relationship is still in the same level.During Bill and Fleur´s wedding she was beautiful (yes I think she is, in more than one way).A young woman!With a blue night dress (to match with his eyes, like spidergirl asked me).She captured his glances a lot of times!In some, she saw reluctance, but in others, she was sure, it was desire and, it seemed he was almost...drooling!Oh, her heart melted !The night
was falling!"Maybe a long and smilling look will work".Hermione turned to him and tried to say with her eyes what she wanted him to do!Will Ron be able to see this, with his keen "PERIPHERAL VISION"??Tomorrow you´ll know!

( I saw her standing thereCollapse )

( The songCollapse )

I´m here to say I´m prepared for 21th July!!I lived this last days in the best way a HP fan could lived!Like I said in a post this week, nothing will be the same after this day!No more speculations, questions without answers.Everything will be clear for us!!And we could say for the future generations how we used to live in this time!!!

And I will say that I lived them in their plenitude!!

I saw the movie last Friday!My DH will be in my hands Saturday!Excuse me if I was a little bit out of your comments because I´ve been working so much!I finished today my four drawings for the the_hp_love challenge!!From tomorrow till Thursday I´ll make a post each day, showing this little dream I have about Deathly Hallows.I hope you could join me in these last days!

So, I´m happy and feeling secure!I think we´ll have a happy end and just will believe in spoilers after Saturday midnight( but this doesn´t mean I want to see them over my f-list)!For me it´s like JK is saying for us about the characters she created "Come on take them!Now they are more than ever for all of you!"And you know, our imagination, as we´ve being doing in all these years, will make with them all we want!!So she ended her story and we´ll continue it the way we want!!We could bring back who died, turn good who is bad,make couples be together! Just let, our mind flies!!

( A song for my friends in this last Sunday night before DH.Listen and you´ll know why I choose it!Collapse )

I´ll be here waiting everybody tomorrow to join this celebration !!See you!

Where are you???????

Yes, where are you people of my f-list!?!I´m starting to be afraid!!I´m working like mad to bring some new works( yes, I´m planning to have three posts with drawings next week) and in the meantime made some ones about the "Ootp" movie that will be realise tomorrow(I will going to watch it at weekend)!But just few came to talk about!You have the right of don´t like them but I know lot of people watched them because my Potterish counter showed me about 700 viewers this weekend!And I felt like talking with the walls or better the screem!


Well, I know I´m boring you all but this is very important!I´m working in this
drawings for spidergirl and mine community challenge and just realized what my mother always told me:"The best part of the party is to plan it!"

Everyone by now are in counting down time: "OotP" just few hours to come( and some of you are in your way to the cinema),and DH will be in our hands in just 10 days and half!!

Did you realize how important are these days that are comming to all of us?

I know.It´s about one month that seems I´ve being in the moon but now I´m calling you for THE PARTY!A party to celebrate this historical moment in OUR LIVES!!Yes, we´re contemporaries in this special time!!

So that´s why I´m here:
to invite you the last time for the challenge"What do you want to see in DH?" of the_hp_love comunity!!It´s your last chance of dream with what could happen after HBP!In July 21th we´ll have our fanworld cannonized!Everything we´d dream after will be part of an AU!!

And...

TO MAKE A SOUNDTRACK FOR OUR CELEBRATION!!!

Yes,you know how I love to work listening music and, problably, in Deathly Hallows we will have Bill and Fleur wedding party!!
So I want you all to tell me (and now please write to me):

"What Muggle song you would like to hear in this party(maybe for Ron and Hermione finally dance together all through the night)?"


I want to make this soundtrack for all my friends put in their iPods and in July 21th we´ll be hearing the same songs all over the world!Songs that will be chose by all of us!Please participate and we´ll have one more thing to share in this so waited, for all of us, party day!!

The world is watching you growing up right in front of our eyes!!We´re so proud of you!!We will love to have you three as our favorite trio now and forever..

We had a special TV program here in Brazil yesterday where you can see a lot of scenes of the movie, interviews and great things about the studio and people that worked on it.This link was posted by Brazilian site

( OclumênciaCollapse )

Althought the program is in Portugese, I think you won´t regret to watch them!It´s a great trip to Hogwarts, its magic and students:

( Part oneCollapse )
( Part twoCollapse )
( Part threeCollapse )

And kids are playing "Order of Phoenix" at PC and its great!!I can´t joy them because if I do, won´t finish my drawings in time!
Kisses***


Edit:In the third one you´ll see Rupert drawing!!Oh man, he´s really good!And him filming the scene of Ron punching Grope´s leg!!!Also we can see Mathew speaking some words of Portuguese, each he learned with Alfred Enoch(his mother is Brazilian).He speaks "Você é linda!!"(You´re beautiful!!).Yes, boy you know how to say the "right" words!!
Also you´ll see Dan speaking Portuguese in the second one,"Até já!" something like "see you soon"!

Not even in my dreams I could imagine this!The cutest thing I ever saw envolving Rupert and Emma!!So I just have to post for my friends!!It´s a video from "CommeauCinema.com" called "Ron, Hermione et le réal" (if the link won´t work right for you)!


If you watched it, take a look again ( I did about hundred times )!
If you don´t, be prepared!I think they´ve never been so confortable with each other in a interview!Or they just acted like they´re used to do normaly in real life!Well, and Dan wasn´t around so... you know,just the two of them to talk about the movie, Ron and Hermione, and to sign!!


( Awkward... Very!!Collapse )

Hi everybody!!
I´m having some trouble here finding time to finish new drawings!Kids are in their winter vacation and the fact that I was acting like a fangirl in the last days doesn´t help much!I think this is because it´s my first time in fandom during such important events happening!
Love to see the London Premiere by internet!!The "three" were so beautiful and Rupert being devoured by the girls...He deserves such love!Also love to see Clive Owen(OMG, no comments),Tim Burton(one of my fav directors ever) and of course JKR(just making me more apprehensive about what will come"Some people maybe won´t like, but it´s the end and had to be done!) :S

But I´m here to show you """"MY""""( could I be more obvious) new icons made by lelymarques yesterday!When I saw him wearing that shirt in Paris I had an idea and it seems I got the perfect one so... here it is:

( Why he is our perfect KING!!Collapse )

I finished this work last weekend but decided to post it just today, because in Brazil we´re celebrating "Valentine´s day"!!And I think it´s perfect for the date!
First of all, I want to dedicate it to some real and fictional people:
-for risiepookie because our friendship started in the "other"Valentine´s day and we spoke a lot about it!!
-for all of you who have someone special or even the hope of have one, in your hearts( so I think everybody fits here)
-for Ron and Hermione who by this moment( I hope so ) are together, totaly in love, in some very safe place in the HP publishers;
- and, even if they never read this, for Rupert and Emma, that we know by now will live on the screen all the emotions that are fated for our lovely couple till the end!

I can´t live without music!By this time you may notice that, in every post of mine I put some music lyrics.There is a reason for this.Everytime I´m working in my drawings I choose a song that I think fits well in its context turning it in a kind of "mantra"!!I heard it thousand of times while I´m drawing!And with this one it wasn´t different, makes the time flies!

The time flies...

Dan, Rupert and Emma will put their hands, feet and "wands"in Hollywood walk of fame!
This note must have made all HP movies fans happy but I think Warner didn´t see the real potential of this movies from the beginning, and we must had this celebration since the first "blockbooster movie", and so the world that watch these three growing up right in front of our eyes, could have their phases imortilized there, in the same way we have in the movies!But now it´s too late for think on this.It seems like yesterday I saw the first one,the
three of them so little, cutes!One month until OotP!!

Just a few more than thirty days for all of us to know how it ends!!I still remember my oldest son lying in his bed while I was reading for him "Philosopher´s Stone".Now he is 6' height and the last book will be soon in my hands!

One of the my nicest memories (and I have a lot) was to watch at fifteen years old (and now you´ll have an idea how old are these hands who make the drawings for you) Freddie Mercury and Queen here in São Paulo, Brazil!He was one of the greatest artists ever.Their work will remain forever.As their song I choose this time as my "mantra".And in another way I´m seeing how the time passed by so quickly!

This drawing was my first option and a variation of "The good luck kiss", because you must know by now, my fixation in Quidditch, and how I love to make Ron in its robes!But it doesn´t look like the cannon one in the book so I put it aside.Meanwhile, someone in the comments said that maybe the kiss will be in the next movie.Certainly we´ll have Quidditch on it because all the development about Harry and Ginny relationship, so Ron could get a "congratulations kiss" for being chose as a keeper( with a little help of "his friend") or still,in the Gryffindor´s team last Victory celebration!Anyway I made him in a very good mood, because that night "he flied like Mister Fahrenheit"!!Like the time!!

"Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
I don't want to stop at all"
