Art: By Rita Skeeter (Ginny/Blaise)

[hpraremod]

Title: By Rita Skeeter
Artist: imera
Prompt: #110 by mypetelephant - Blaise is a model in need of some publicity, Ginny is a quidditch player in need of some image rehabilitation (something about a brawl on the pitch). Their agents come up with the brilliant idea that the two should pretend to date.
Pairing(s): Blaise/Ginny
Word Count/Art Medium: Traditional for the art, coloured pencil. Microsoft publisher and photoshop for the layout, and about 860 words.
Rating: G
Warning(s): none
Disclaimer:Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: Thanks to my beta Y, and to the mods for their patience. The art goes with a long fic, that’s not complete, hopefully I’ll finish it within a few months.
Summary: Pretend to date to get good publicity, their mission was simple, but neither one expected things to go as they did.

This is brilliant. I'm so happily surprised.Very rarely do I find persons of colour drawn with realistic features in this fandom. Brilliant job! I really appreciate this. :)

Thank you <3 I love drawing persons of colour, especially if they are characters I love. Your comment is very much appreciated <3

This is lovely — the art is romantic and adorable, I love how you've drawn Blaise especially, and the text made me grin at Rita's snark and her nose for a good story. You've got a pretty shrewd little sideeye there to the Ginny bashers as well... or so I suspect, anyway. *g*

Thank you <3 I'm glad you love my Blaise, I had more fun drawing him than Ginny (not because I don't like her or anything, but because I love a good challenge, and he was just that). And yes, Rita has the nose for a good story, and I loved trying to get her 'style' while writing those reports.

You've got a pretty shrewd little sideeye there to the Ginny bashers as well
I might not like her that much with Harry (for other reasons than most people have) but I do like her as a character, and I think she deserves more than being made into 'that character who gets between my ship'. I also love Ginny with Blaise, and think that if he wasn't a Slytherin and into pride, he might have asked her out.

Thank you for the lovely comment <3

This is so lovely! The last picture of them is definitely my favorite, I really like how you captured that short moment before they kiss, and they look absolutely blissful because they know what will happen. Really great work!

5 reasons why you should never trust a wizard wearing trouser was my highlight in the written part. I'm really looking forward for your fic!

Thank you <3
I love the last picture as well, mostly because of the plot of my story that still swims around in my head.

Lol, I wasn't sure if people bothered reading the other titles, glad to know people do :)

D'aww, so cute! :)

Thank you <3

Sorry for the late review! I love the story in this, and the little bits of Rita's Guide to a Perfect Date made me laugh. I love the art too (I really want Ginny's coat in the last panel).

[imera.livejournal.com]

Thank you <3 I hoped most of the story got through even if this entry had only a little of it, and it was seen through someone else's eyes. And I'm with you on the coat, wish it was mine :)

This is absolutely lovely and incredibly impressive! First, it's a great premise to write it through Rita's eyes and leaves the readers guessing. Secondly, I love the way you've woven story and art together by giving a sense of the relationship progression and context for each of the pictures. Thirdly, the art is just fantastic! I love the variety, where we see them moving from formal, to informal, to intimate, and you suggest so much with their poses and clothing. Brava!

Thank you <3
-I'm really glad you like the way I decided to write it, through Rita :)
-Love it that people think that combining article with art worked, I was slightly nervous since I've never done it this way before.
-Thank you for loving my art, had a lot of fun drawing, had a lot of fun planning, and had a lot of fun dreaming about their relationship.

Thank you again for your lovely comment
