pulped_fictions: It's A Gift!

[hrymfaxe]

So over at pulped_fictions we are having this wonderful Winterval challenge, that I know I've already talked about here. One of the events has been a round of Secret Santa, and there is just nothing better than secretly crafting something for someone to make them happy. My giftee is jobey_in_error and these are all illustrations for chapter 2 of her story Riddikulus, which can be found here. I had a lot of fun making these, and I really hope you like them as well! Happy holidays, giftee!! :)




Scrambling through the fake windows was easier contemplated than done.

And Peter, well... no one in the castle dared utter the word fatty anymore, since all those who had already dared had got the living daylights hexed out of them by James. With Remus's assistance, Peter was eventually tugged through the opening, which was beginning to seem less useful with each passing moment.

Artist's note: Much love and heartfelt thanks goes out to A. A. Milne and E. H. Shephard for the illustration of Winnie the Pooh stuck in Rabbit's door.





Remus was honestly bewildered to turn around and find the boggart-moon rotating slowly as if to "face" Peter. He hadn't meant to step so far back that he had put Peter between himself and the boggart. But he was too curious to bother moving in time, despite Peter's whimper.
With a loud crack, the moon changed into Peter himself - but Peter only for a second. Immediately his shape began to warp weirdly and shimmied as if it were being poured through an invisible hourglass. As he squeezed through the narrow part of the tube, he came out the lower bulb as -
A large-eared, fluffy rabbit.





"You know, Professor - " Over the chaos of the class, Lily Evans was speaking loudly, and rather pointedly. " - this would be a great time for a practical demonstration on how to undo Animation Charms!"
She evidently didn't appreciate the fine, sophisticated humour of her two teacups repeatedly boxing her ears. The real fun of it was the shrieking of the girls. The Marauders were at that particular age.

Right back atcha with the holiday wishes, Santa! ;)

These gifts are freakin' wonderful. I have such a soft spot for line drawings--it's the only kind of art I've ever purchased for my walls, really!--and, in short, I loves them.

As much an ignoramus about art as I am, I did read Winnie-the-Pooh, and I totally love how all the illustrations are so Pooh-ish. Poor Peter's haircut is so wonderfully unfashionable, the rabbit ears being the root of half-Peter are so clever, and I love Lily's hair. Never imagined her that way, with that adorable fringe but it's great, not least of all because there is no way a thirteen-year-old James could see that hairstyle and not want to mess with it. :D

You made my Christmas Eve Eve. Cheers!
