Description “But the prince had lost all hope and fell into despair… For who could ever love a beast?”

This illustration is now for sale on Etsy!! [link] Be the one to get it!

This piece is dedicated and inspired by one of my favorite Dramione fics, “Monstrosity” by TheEyesoftheTiger. [link] If you haven’t read it, you should She's also here on dA!

The scan killed the picture though…

The fic is very loosely based off Beauty and the Beast, which is also one of my all time stories and Disney movies. Overall just a wonderful fic, and I really needed to get off my ass and draw some fanart for it. I think she captures Draco wonderfully, and Hermione as well. And I enjoy all the side characters, Blaise, McGonagall and Snape especially.

All the ‘objects’ in the window represent each character, but you’ll have to read to figure out who is what.

I did mess up on the 'beast' though, his color is described as having "thick, dark golden fur". Unfortunately, I have no copics that color and tried to mix my own. NEVER mix grey and yellow. So now he's a light-brown ish color?

I did try to make this as stain glass windowy as possible, along with a little Mucha. I hope I succeeded?

Anyway, if you haven't read Monstrosity yet, DO. She deserves lots of reviews! Enjoy~

Hermione and Draco (c) Harry Potter/JK Rowling

Sketched in pencil, inked in Micron pens and felt-tip markers, and colored with Copic's and highlights in white gel pen on sketchbook paper- about...4 hours ish?

Truly an excellent picture!

I came across this picture after I read the story, and I must say, you've done EXCELLENT WORK! (Man, you must be really talented to make me speak in a dignified manner XD)

You bring out the best in my favorite HP pairing, so for that, kudos to you! (Or somethin'!)

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
