Here's my first piece of art for one of my favourite pairings: Voldemort/Harry. It's called Things Unsaid. I'm usually all about faces (as you will see below), so I wanted to try to tell a story with just bodies for a change. The colouring of this was absolutely ruined by scanning. Voldemort's pearly skin is too subtle for the scanner!
 

  

Below are three individual sketches that eventually turned the Harry Potter/Leo Tolstoy image pictured on the right, which I did for the [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_elite "fandom mash-up" + Love and War themed challenge (tied for third place!).


  

On the left we have our hero, Prince Potsky. Pictured on the field of battle (with Prince Andrei's uniform from the film version of War and Peace). On the right is the villain, Prince Voldemov, who is pictured here with his particularly fine duelling pistol, which some call "The Death Stick". Dark Mark detail on his signet ring. This was based on an image of Ralph Fiennes in Onegin.



And finally we have Countess Lestrange, Ginevra Weslei and her brother Captain Weslei and his fiancee Lady Grangevna (I suck at faux-Russian names, lol).  I'm very pround of Ron here - he took ages to draw.

This one isn't by me, but I love, love, love it - it's a print by WednesdayWolf over on etsy.com:

I'm saving up for it. I love colour so much (as you can see from my lj!)

Oh, absolutely - his stuff is amazing! I love his watery, vibrant crazy illustrations. He'd do a wonderful Cthulhu.

Haha - thanks. I remember when I first changed to this layout and everyone was like OMG WUT PINK?-! I thought Palpatine would appreciate the deceptive softness of the girly prettiness. After all, we're talking about the Dark Lord who wore cute little floral buttons (presumably for the lolz).

A luminescent Cthulhu!!!

I think your colors would go with Palpatine quite well :)
Especially the little floral buttons. Hmm, I'm thinking clear glass buttons that have an actual tiny flower in each one.

That would be very cute! I think they're more like burnished gold flowers - like something a six year old would have on a necklace:

Only Palpatine could get away with wearing something like that! Then again, I suppose he had to make an effort as Amidala's senator. One could almost believe he's parodying Naboo fashion, considering his own completely different style which comes out in AotC and RotS (as a child, he always wanted to be a handmaiden: http://www.rebelshaven.com/SWFFAQ/images/handmaidens/funeral2.jpg

P's Mother: I'm sorry, sweetie, boys can't be handmaidens...

P: Then I'll be Chancellor and make it so boys can!"

P's Mother: Aww... isn't he cute?

Oh, yes! I find him incrediably sexy there!!!!

Hah hah!! Yes, the styles intrigued him!

BTW, I found out, and I can't remember where it was that around the 1900s pink was considered a boy's color, and light blue was a girl's? Pink because it was the more aggressive red mixed with white.
