Knock Yourself Out, snokat
I feel an unexpectedly strong need to explain a few things here:
1. This was at the request of snokat who, if memory serves (and it may well not), asked for Snape asleep and specifically for the Dark Mark to be apparent.
2. I know there are many OOC things here that will outrage some fans. Yes, I know he's not scrawny/angular/ugly enough!
3. I had not intended for him to look so AR, but that's just how the sketch turned out. Nothing to do with the unbreakable linkage in my mind between these two identities. Nothing. *snort*
4. The tattoo in the hollow of his hip is not an original idea. I do freely admit seeing it elsewhere, and again if my peanut brain is not too addled, it was eldivinomarques who had given Snape a snake tattoo there. I changed it to the Rod of Asclepius. If you don't know what it is, wiki it. I chose it for a particular reason that I choose not to go into here.
5. I could fiddle about with this thing endlessly, so I had to put my foot down and say 'that's it!' Hurhur... fiddle!

Yes. Hmmm.

This is not to say I didn't enjoy doing this. That's the problem. I enjoyed it too much, hahahaha!

	I don't have a problem with how you drew him. I don't have a problem that you made him sexy. I DO have a problem with how HIGH YOU DREW THAT DAMN SHEET! I think he's perfect! He's ugly and scrawny and sexy as hell! I also like that he smiles in his sleep. ;D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That is absolutely gorgeous. Someone linked it to me on IRC, and I think the first thing I said was: I love the dichotomy of the Dark Mark (death, destruction, evil) on his arm, with the caduceus (healing, etc (I think that's how it's spelt, and I think that's it!)). I also love the crumpled page underneath his hand: it looks so real. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	(It helps if I actually read the comments! I knew it wasn't quite right for caduceus! Amusingly enough, the Wikipedia page has an entry about mixing them up, so I don't feel so bad. :-)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	protowilson 2009-09-09 12:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, there's usually confusion, and a lot of representations of Caduceus should be the Rod of Asclepius. See, it's not all about drawing Snape in compromising situations... we're researching! (Reply to this) (Parent)
