gilded shivers &...

...parchment, old leather, emeralds, velvet cushions, fireplaces, silver, and secret touches....... Draco bit into that green apple, and the rest was history. . . I like to draw stories

process shots. These two came out super easy they practically fell out of my pen...which considering my terrible art block lately, is a great feeling ;__;

Setting: Hogwarts; assigned partners

Granger: “... u_u” (fell asleep while reading)

Draco: ...///...Granger.....*reaches out without thinking and tucks a curl behind her ear*

I personally find these little clandestine touches to be super romantic, so I suddenly wanted to doodle this type of moment. It was originally supposed to be just Hermione with Draco’s hand, but then I couldn’t help add another pic of a bashful in-love-but-in-denial Draco Malfoy.

This is the alternate version, with our little love triangle flying over Hogwarts castle this time. 

1. Cropped close up of their faces. Snape seducing, Hermione being seduced, but also holding onto Draco, who is clutching Hermione tightly, determined to fly away with her, but couldn’t outrun veela!Snape and his veela wings. 

*please note that this specific scene with them flying isn’t necessarily in Mixilip1′s fic, but was what I came up with from her prompt. 

2. Full image of version2

3. Initial sketch, didn’t make the cut

...*door creak*

😅 I did not intend to go on such a long hiatus...but one thing led to another and I ended up ghosting for the last two months!!! Orz

I’ll start posting again, but its hard to say how active I’ll be....I’ll ..I’ll try

(also, 👉///👈 I’ve recently fell into the deep dark mxtx/mdzs fandom sinkhole my god ₕₑₗₚ ₘₑ....I expect I won’t be drawing exclusively hp or dramione in the future  😅 😅)

Happy (dramione) Halloween!

Remember my mermaid au(?) (feel free to review my tag). Well after a long hiatus, I’m back at it. The thing is, I won’t be posting part 2 like I promised, but an extended and polished version of part 1. 

I’ll post the comic/short fic hybrid soon but here’s a sneak peak of the Slytherin common room, with a nice view of the lake ;)

Hi!!!!! I’m so excited we can finally purchase your artwork, they’re so pretty ❤️ Just wanted to check with you regarding the Hermione print, not sure if it’s my computers resolution... but the image on the site looks like it’s the animation version, partly blinking? Just double checking before I place my order! Thanks :)

thank you, and yes I double-checked and I can see the problem. I created an updated version of Hermione’s portrait for print, and I intended for her eyes to be skimming the book while she’s stirring her potion. 

I went in and added some changes, and updated the print in my store. For those that already purchased “HJG -1998″ rest assured you will get this updated version :)

                                              ANNOUNCEMENT

GILDEDSHIVERS’ PRINT STORE is now open with a select few prints available for sale. Each comes with a variety of print options, from art cards to high quality prints on canvas, acrylic, framed options, and of course, art cards.  

Above features Dramione, who are frequent patrons of Gildedshivers’. Their private suite in Malfoy Manor has a wall covered in framed pieces from Gildedshivers’ gallery.

Here is a demonstration of what the symbol from my signature represents. You can find each letter spelling out “GILDED” in the symbol. 

There’s another hidden meaning in it as well but I’ll keep it a secret for now ;)

[gildedshivers]

Near blinding radiance. Sand glowing gold, air humming with power. Wild electricity dancing from the head of the cane, cutting the darkness with purple-white whips. 

 A forked finger finding Draco, arcing through him, his body luminescent, brilliant, beautiful. 

 Then, the explosion.

This is a commission done for Misdemeanor1331′s fic Shifting Sands over at AO3, featuring Ministry bureaucracy, romance, and lots of lightning. If this sounds interesting then go check it out! 

Some notes about this painting: This is a metaphorical representation of Dramione’s relationship in the fic. Hermione is a “storm” and the lightning that comes down can hurt Draco, and yet Draco dares to take the risk anyway because he wants to prove to her that he is worthy.

Here are some really quick Hermione character study sketches. I’m doing these because starting now I’m going to slightly pivot on my art style. I’ve been doing a lot of highly detailed, painterly, semi-realistic artwork, and honestly they take a bit too long to do. Also, I miss linework a lot. So, I’ll be developing a more stylistic approach to my depictions of all the harry potter characters moving forward.

Despairingly, Hermione cradles Draco’s limp body against her arm. He is unresponsive, his cursed wound still oozing out blood in a frightening amount. Hermione tries to clear her mind and assess their situation, but all her frantic mind can come back to is the all-consuming fact that ‘Draco is going to die.....Draco is going to DIE if she doesn’t do something quick’. 

And despite all this...despite her need to find a way to save this dying man in her arms, she can feel the creature slowly wake in the presence of his blood. Her suppression potions must have worn out, because she can feel her incisors sharpen and her salivary glands activate. Even now, she cannot control the vampire inside her. 

This is a little glimpse into my dramione vampire head-canon. For those who still remember, I intended to do a creatures series a while back and even though there’s been a delay, I *will* follow through. I will go back to my mermaid au, but this is a little peak into a vampire au that will follow.

Summer is officially over...but I’m reminiscing the warm, lazy days. Here is a scene with young Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Black, and Severus Snape intermingling...enjoying the sun on the Hogwarts lawn. This is a commission for @thessakenway who asked me to illustrate her OT3 in a beautiful way. 

Some details to note: I was asked for all three to be interacting/touching in a very subtle way. I paid a lot of attention to their body placement in order to best convey that naturally. Narcissa is lying on Lucius’s chest, about to touch his face. Lucius is looking at Narcissa, one arm under and hand around her waist. Snape is not third-wheeling; Narcissa is fingering his tie, and Lucius has a pinky looped around Severus’s hand. All three are fully clothed, but the sexual tension is there if you pause to look...hidden in plain sight.
