At last, some updates..
These were done for 'Trading Places' challenge at Lupin_snape.
Based on </a></strong></a>nehalenia's fascinating fic 'Possession'. My regret is that they failed to capture the wonderful dark, magical atmosphere. Maybe next time..

Bestiality is my kink and squick at the same time. It's like something I'd peep through my fingers. But keep peeping all the same. And this may be my first and the last attempt.

These are gorgeous! Maybe they don't exactly look "dark", literally, but the first one especially conveys the tension and ambivalence in the encounter. And as for bestiality, I agree with the squick, but knowing it's not an actual animal, but a human in an animal form, that makes it entirely different, that makes it a kink, for me.

I love all the shading in your skin tones, especially the "blush' at the joints. Your skin looks translucent, almost, compared with the solid color you use for the fabrics - that really works well. Are these done in watercolor?

and hey, WTF is your icon!? That looks like Voldemort in a pink tutu, with a - clown nose? did he lose a bet? ;p

Oh thank you! Yes, I was worried from the beginning whether I'd be able to picture the dark atmosphere. But I'm glad you could feel the tension.
I quite like the idea of a human with a faun, if that can be called bestiality. For the rest, normal animals and lycanthropes are the same for me.

I'm very glad you liked the skintones. They're actually done in Photoshop.

LOL!! That's my favourite icon. Oh, Voldermort..
You put a wonderful image in my head. heh heh
Thank you for the feedback!! :-]

I wouldn't consider a human with a faun, or a centaur or mermaid, to be bestiality, because they are part human creatures, with presumably a similar to human awareness. A lycanthrope not taking wolfsbane potion would probably be like an actual animal, but knowing that's Remus in there, that makes a difference to me. It's interesting how the magic of the H.P. series makes certain things acceptable to me that wouldn't be, otherwise! To someone not familiar with this world, that would be an image of bestiality.

	Yes I believe you're right. They're more human than animal. I personally would actually prefer bestiality with normal werewolf than one with a bit of human consciousness. hmm..wonder why. I'd say the magic is one of the main reasons that makes HP fandom so strong (and hopefully long-lasting). It opens up so many possibilities. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think they're pretty dark. Great fic, but amazing art as always, fanlay. It's too bad you won't be doing more bestiality -- yours is so much win. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Both of those pieces are fantastic. Love the fingers in the mouth, the hand around the cocks-and the wolf is wonderful. Brilliant. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh wow. Guh. The scars on Remus's back. The fingers in Snape's mouth. The bruised knuckles and cheek (ow, that hurts). The perspective on both of these scenes. The wary look on Snape's face with the wolf. Wow. Wowowow. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	These are just amazing. The angle of Severus's face, tilted back to look at Moony in the second one, has me fascinated. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Even if it isn't my pairing I can't resist the pull of your art. Gorgeous as ever. I love the way you draw Snape - all that long bony limbs and fingers... besotted (Reply to this) (Thread)

As always your art is completely awesome, Fanlay.
the more I look, the more I see. I love your fine lines, and the flushed knees, knuckles, feet etc (*cough* I refrained from mentioning cocks).
Your Severus is perfect - slender to the point of skinny, beautiful in his features and his desperate neediness.
The bestiality isn't squicky at all! Mind you, that's easy for me to say cos it never squicks me anyway :-p
Oh, and I have to add that you do injury very well - from Remus' scars to Sev's cheek to the claw marks on his shoulder in the Moony one.

	I'm very glad to hear you like this Snape. I don't mind bestiality in a fic. I actually secretly enjoy it while a part of my mind goes 'oh no oh no..'. And it'll be great if the injury in my pic actually looks like injury. :-] Thank you very much for the feecback! X (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I missed these when you posted them -- busy moving house, missed quite a bit in Feb/March -- and I have to tell you how much I adore the top image. It is fan-frecking-tastic! As an exercise I just stared at it for a while to see if there was anything I could criticise. Nup. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm sure we could find out a few things to criticise but I'm very glad you liked it. Thank you again. BTW I hope your moving went smoothly. I always find it so very bothersome. (Reply to this) (Parent)
