Always

"After all this time, Severus?"

"Always."

My homage to one of fiction's greatest characters – Severus Snape, the boy who loved. The final film was a beauty to behold; I am still in mourning...

I think I was inspired by that hilarious gif on Tumblr with Alan Rickman flicking his hair back with the caption "Maybe he's born with it... maybe it's Slytherine." So Snape's hair is kind of following wind directions of all angles. WHATEV. He defies nature!

The doe was rather agonising to render. Had to refer to film stills.

Dedicated to Zja, who requested Snape
