Always... — Description
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and !

NOTE: This is not my version of jumping on the Snape bandwagon. Why?
A) It's being overdone to death; Snape was never that cuddly. I mean, come on, there's a reason Lily married James.
B) My mom is one of my most trusted critics and hasn't read the book yet, so no shpoilers for her.

Anywho! This is my first male Harry Potter character that I've drawn. We had just happened to watch HP5 (for my fourth time; I'm not one to say "no" to an opportunity like that when it arises. ) at the IMAX in Huntsville, AL (HP on a dome... The panning shots were awesome!!) when I was suddenly struck by the fact that Alan Rickman is the most perfect actor for Snape and that his costume is absolutely gorgeous. I want a cloak like that. So I was inspired to draw Snape.

Don't ask me why it's taken me five movies to realize both of the aforementioned facts about Snape in the movies.

The way I've drawn him is closer to what I see his actual age as. In the books he's only, what, in his forties? But Mr. Rickman is again such an awesome Snape that I can forgive him for being a few years older than that.

EDIT:
M'kay, so the only other actor I might possibly see playing Snape is Jeremy Irons. And whaddya know, he's, er, actually played the part! And I do like his portrayal of Snape. lol.

Oh! This is actually another of my infamous Sunday sketches. But it turned out so perfectly I didn't dare re-draw it on bigger paper.

Anywho!
