Death Mask

"And now Snape looked at Voldemort, and Snape’s face was like a death mask. It was marble white and so still that when he spoke it was a shock to see that anyone lived behind the blank eyes."

That is meant to be the Resurrection Stone behind Professor Snape, a representation of the Second Brother, who died for a lost love.

I wanted to post this version before I presumably obliterate it with color pencils (that's why his hair is so light on one side). Heavily influenced by Haku of Naruto's pose I saw in a Shonen Jump. I edited it a little bit on picnik.com, as I do all my art. Otherwise it looks a tad messy if I just post it off my iPhone. To me, anyway.

Professor Snape is property of J.K. Rowling. I just like to make him pose for me.
Haku is property of whoever owns the rights to Naruto.
I am definately making no money off of any of my drawings, this one included.
