Oh Kris!! This is GORGEOUS! Maybe even one of your best yet! (that I've seen anyway!) The detail is just exquisite! I LOVE the hands!! Wow!!

(err, sorry for the ! overexcitement, but, yeah...)

Oh. Oh. Kris, this is-- this is beyond gorgeous. The hands, the facial expression, the coloring-- the mood of the scene is captured perfectly. I'm not an artist, but I really appreciate your talent and how absolutely beautiful this is. This is how the scene looked in my imagination, and now here it is on my computer screen, and it takes my breath away. My favorite drawing of yours yet (and I do love them all!) Really, really excellent job. The profile of young Ron's face is especially well done, and oh, the hands!!!!! I love the preliminary sketches of the arms and hands as well. So gorgeous!!! :D

Wow this is wonderful! I really like your stick and ball sketches too; what a great idea. YOu did an amazing job with the light source and the hand is so well drawn! Beautiful work.

I love the eyes! The whole thing is great, but the hands and eyes are fantastic.

I am almost speechless! That is so incredible! It is georgous! I love Ron's hand, well I love all of it but his hand especially! You are really tallented!

This is absolutely wonderful. I love the wandlight, and the little shine on his fingernails, and everything about it. Fantastic!

Ooh, pretty canon art! The part of the process of drawing it that you show is interesting, too. I like the way, even with so little detail visible, one can clearly see the age difference between Ron and his reflection. Too bad the Quidditch Cup didn't fit in-frame, though I guess that would have made too obvious an asymmetry with Ron's wand hand. The only part I'm unsure I like is the lens flare effect on the wand, it seems too photographic compared to the painterly style of the rest.

Oh wow, the hands! They're still more gorgeous than in the previous version. And the pic, as a whole, is a masterpiece. Did you alter the lighting some more? Because I can't find places where it's dramatically different, but what I know is that it's excellent.

Great picture <3!

Ah, this is really nice! Yay for canon scenes! You made a nice choice with the muted color pallette. Haha, and talk about mixed media! :) My favourite part is the really nice rich texture you achieved on the arms and hands. Excellent work.

This is gorgeous. That was always one of the scenes I wanted to see in SS, and you definitely captured it.

the hands are amazing! the shadows&highlights are very realistic. and the lightened wand - wow! I love that picture <33! :)

This is wonderful to look at. I really love the way the arms and hands turned out, and the way you chose to color them. The way his left hand is touching the mirror looks so cool.
