I adore the attention to detail you have in this and the colours are just magic. The look on Draco's face as he's hanging on so tightly to Draco is beautiful. This is a gorgeous picture.

This is just so amazingly gorgeous, hon! I don't even know where to start.

The colors are remarkable, the use of the pink with the color of the flames is great. The scene with them both reaching for the snitch is especially touching. And then the one with just their faces. *sighs happily* I can't tell for sure if Harry is kissing him or whispering in his ear, but either way the look on Draco's face is just awww-worthy.

Lovely job, hon! You did the team proud. :-)

I love the look of them a bit beat up on the broom and the colors are great and then the glimpses of the future...

While undoubtedly I love the background of your piece, the depiction of Harry and Draco on the broom is just stunning. The proportions are spot on and you have completely captured the movement of their flight in the way their hair is ruffled and their clothes ripple around them. Balanced against the 'flatter' background palette of flame colours you have done a brilliant job of injecting vitality into both layers.

Lovely.

I love how evocative this picture is: Harry is so determined here, and Draco seems both terrified and trustful. Very nice colours also. And it's a pleasure to see all the little fanon vignettes :)

the attention to detail is mind blowing. especially on the broom...i can't stop looking at the clothing, and i can almost...feel the wind from the ride that they're feeling. incredible.

Oh, wow, your use of the red and orange colors that depict the fire is amazing. They look real! In fact, the whole coloring is amazing! The scrolls are very clever as well, love the words and love how you connect this piece to Tarot, even though the prompt is not. In short, this is a great piece of work! (Oh and, yes, mpreg, finally! XD)

Beautifully done. With the images in the flames, and the plays worked in with the different moments from the books, you've highlighted a whole aspect of Tarot that I don't think anyone else has! And on a personal note? Thanks so much for that little hint of m-preg. Team fanon couldn't go through the entire games and never have that, now could we? This is beautiful, and you did your team proud.

This is stunning. From the depiction of the flames (which look so real they jump off the page) to the use of the Tarot in the scrolls...

OMG and the hint at mpreg makes me squeeee in delight.

The boys on the broom are perfection!!!!

I adore this more than words can say!

Oh, the composition worked out really well and I rather enjoyed the story you told by the images structured around the main picture of the broom rescue.

Gorgeous colors (what a fantastic fire) and I like your depiction of the boys!

Guh. Gorgeous. I absolutely love your Harry. I love your Draco too, but especially Harry. He's a little nerdy while still being completely beautiful, as he should be. ;) Beautiful work!

I like your color palette and the central image is awesome. Can't say I'm all that crazy about the fetus floating around in the midst of it, though I do enjoy mpreg.

very nice! the colors of the fire are gorgeous. and i love how through the different scenes you show that by rescuing draco, harry's not only saving their past, he's saving their future.

yeah for mpreg! the little image of them, erm, making babies, was also really lovely! *g*

I like how the composite images work by themselves, as well as a whole piece. I think there might have been a danger that it might have been too busy, but each image has it's own breathing space through the composition as well as adding to the overall picture. It's really lovely.

So vivid and wonderful. I love the rugged determination on Harry's face, and Draco with his eyes closed (in fear? bliss? relief?) clutching to him. The scenes around them speak so loudly to their relationship. Wonderful.

Wow. What a gorgeous rendering of that moment in time, and showing how it was linked to their past and their future. And mpreg for Team Fanon!

The colours were wonderful, and I love how you've used pink hues rather than black and white for the background images, which is a great choice, given that they're surrounded by flames. And the use of the Tarot banners, and how they directly relate to the pictures they highlight? Great job.

But, of course, I love the focus of the piece best. The two of them on the broom, with the vibrant colours, their wind-swept hair, the way they're banged up a bit, and the way Draco is clutching Harry - all done so well.

Wonderful artwork.

OMG THE MPREG. THAT IS SO....I DON'T KNOW, BUT I LOVE LOOKING AT THE BABY-THING. Fantastic. XD XD XD

Also fantastic is the envelopment of flames, it's rather terrifying, which is who I always imagined the Fiendfyre scene to be. Love the boys and Draco's clinging to Harry and all the further, future progress they make as an OTP.

Lovely stuff!

Oh, this is beautiful, and the perfect choice for Team Fanon. I was chatting with a friend the night before the art posted saying, "Oh, I really hope we get the broomride from Team Fanon!" So yay! I love how Draco is holding onto Harry, face pressed so tightly against him. ♥

This is so magickal, the swirling energy of fire, element of passion, saving and challenging them at once. Another translation of garde is "keep" which I prefer here, with its connotation of possession and desire.
Intense and beautiful visual storytelling.

Wow. Flames and fire and desperation! You captured it all. I love how Draco is clinging onto Harry... Harry saves him, saves him in so many way. Very beautiful.

(edit) And I love the little mpreg bit. Gives us hope... :)

I love looking at this. The way you captured swift motion in the characters' clothes, posture, and hair in the Fiendfyre scene is amazing. And that's exactly what Draco would look like, holding Harry "so tightly it hurt," while Harry looks brave and protective. So much ♥.

I loved this piece! I think your idea of taking the bids from Tarock was really neat and they worked so well given an H/D spin :)

Your flying figures were great, really dynamic and the vignettes within the flames were beautiful. I think I liked Garde best.

I love the design of this, and the fiendfyre is hypnotically beautiful. Wonderful use of the scrolls/bids from the tarot game. I'm not an mpreg fan, but it NEEDED to be here for fanon! Thank you!

So very beautiful. I love Draco's body pose in the central image - it tells a tale of its own. And the image with Draco catching Harry's wrist - fantastic take on both of them. And the colours, the fire... lovely!
