Description

Snape is amused. McGonagall is not. hahahaa

The first House Cup on Pottermore went to Slytherin, followed by Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, then Hufflepuff. HUFFLEPUFF WHY DID WE COME IN LAST I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HARD WORKING. fffff I wanna be in Ravenclaw. >c

So about the picture, I didn't think it'd come out this good. xD It actually was just going to be a doodle to post to my tumblr, then I made it look all nice and it turned into this. haha. I needed a bunch of refs from google; Snape (I tried making him look like Rickman!Snape), McGonagall, the staff table and the wall behind it, and the Slytherin banners. I had multiple tabs and files open. haha

So I love Snape this picture. My best HP fanart so far. Probably one of my best pictures in general. <3

I'm adding this to my collection of book-scene HP art, because it does go with the final chapter of the first book, when at first Slytherin was ahead. I, as a Slytherin was tickled green when we won, but I'm not really gloating; I think there are probably a lot of people who have multiple accounts to make sure the points go up.
Anyway, the picture! Very, very, very nice job. I like how your rendition is like a combination of your imagination, and movie-McGonagall-Snape.
The details I love: the way her hands are folded, as if she'd really like to make a fist and punch that smirk off Snape's face, but she's much too cool for that. She's not really frowning, but she has her lips pursed as she usually does when she's displeased. The candles, the goblets, and the window are very lovely.
Snape: hehehehe. I'm not a Snape fan, but can't help liking your portrayal. Those eyebrows! He looks the right age, too; some artworks portray him as looking quite old, and while he had a rough life that probably aged him faster than if he'd had an easy life, he's still a fairly young man in wizarding terms. The hair is also nice and lanky, and the hands, folded in smug pleasure are fantastic.
Lighting and shading: your lighting choices are fabulous, for it really looks as if candle light is reflected on their faces and clothing.
I don't think there's anything you could do to make this better, for extra details behind them or to the side would take away from the purpose of showing the two of them and their contrasting feelings.
