anyone remember when I had that weird dramione x scooby doo fever dream and hinted that I wasn’t quite done with the concept?

no?

this wip won’t make any sense then x

[annagaw]

WIP of a cute lil wedding pic - it started with a different idea and just sort of…evolved, idk

extremely on-brand of me to not create or post a single thing for months and then churn out an increasingly saccharine stream of fluff non-stop for a week lol

"come here, granger, I’ve mastered that muggle warming charm you showed me"

[annagaw]

I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be, where I'll be

it’s never not time to revisit one of the most perfect love songs of all time and/or draw some butts

DOWN BAD CRYING AT THE GYM

Oh hey, didn’t see you there! Nbd, just reeling from the intense chemical changes that reading @molivierposts’ masterpiece has wrought upon my feeble flesh-prison.

I made a little sketch to cope - just something sloppy, real casual-like. Then I coloured it (to be polite, you understand). And then I thought I’d just take a minute to slap together a couple of kindle covers for myself. Which, uhhh… yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and say you’re welcome to download for personal use. Go for it, champ.

I may do a re-colour of this at some point, actually refine it. But I’m happy for now with the rough and ready version you see before you. Also, saying I’ll recolour something is just actually like a cute little inside joke I have with myself. The joke is: no I fucking won’t.

Anyway, you should read this. I did a link for you, just here. You think you don’t need Alien!Draco in your life? I was like you once. A fool.

I’m back! Oops! Sorry! (A brief life update - with a handful of recs at the end)

AUTUMNAL GREETINGS TO THE DRAM FAM!

Apologies for the extended radio silence. Life just got a little bit too fucking hectic for a moment back there: exciting (slightly scary) new work opportunities and creative projects, a spot of wonderful but intense international travel, a brief sojourn into exposing a serial harasser (relaxing!), and then enjoying the inevitable chronic illness flare up and devastating burnout that these things naturally precede. Just your standard hot girl summer, really!

I blinked and suddenly it’s been over two months since I even worked on any personal (read "fan”) art, and I have a stack of ao3 emails gathering dust in my inbox, telling me all my favourite WIPs are updating while I do… what? Touch grass?! No thank you, sir, not any longer. The year is drawing in, we’re on the home stretch, and I am OVER being an outdoor kid.

Anyway, I’ve missed this gorgeous fandom, and am desperately trying to claw back some personal time over the next few months. Let’s see how I do! I have a disgruntled file of WIPs of my own that are longing to see the light of screen, and god damn it I shall give them what they deserve.

I did manage, while I was away, to finally read a few sensational fics that had been on my radar for a while (did I buy a secondhand kindle just for fanfiction, just so I could read my little fics while travelling? It is entirely possible) and would like to shout out in particular: Bad Omens by onebedtorulethemall, Time and Place by GingerBaggins, Mutual, I’m Sure by LadyUrsa (ao3 needed), and Beam Me Up, Swotty! by Molivier. Thanks for the immeasurable joy and devastation you caused me.

If you’ve ever wondered why I don’t often draw backgrounds into my work, this is the reason: I am simply too obsessive and swiftly become bogged down in such a level of detail that I lose focus entirely on the original subject. Case in point: 16 hours later (thank you procreate for that statistic), I have yet to draw Narcissa Malfoy in her own bloody greenhouse

I have not even started COLOURING this mess yet, what am I doing?

[annagaw]

i recoloured my last piece twice before I found a version I was happy with - here are the two previous drafts, both of them neater and more time-consuming than the final version

still really enjoying using limited palettes, which is why there’s so much variation on hair and skin tone in my pieces atm

scruffy weekend dramione*

*inspired by the epilogue to one of my personal god tier fics, an imperfect situation by erininoctober - and by that I mean, in the epilogue, hermione wears one of draco’s shirts with shorts and wellies while she’s running errands and I thought “yes I like that, that feels right to me"

[annagaw]

lil sketch that turned into a bigger sketch, as they tend to do on a Saturday when I take my adhd meds at the wrong time

distracted draco meme pt 2, feat. suggestion from @hellveticabold

(I think I’ve gotten this out of my system now lol)

[annagaw]

[annagaw]

v scruffy sketch of our faves in their auror uniforms

legitimately don’t understand why I don’t hear more people screaming from the rooftops about this fic, I am halfway through and having a ball

long-haired cinnamon roll Malfoy is just a vibe and a half, and I will never not love a mildly unhinged Granger

[annagaw]

revived this crusty old meme for noble dramione purposes (I’m sure someone’s made this joke before but oh well)

hmu with your best suggestions for text! Here are some flimsy attempts I made earlier:

Dramione Time Travel: 1920s Edition

Oh you thought flappers for the 20s? Absolutely not, we are going sailor blouses, or we are going home.

And we’re continuing the trend of putting Draco in nonsense trousers.

edit 22/07: there was something off about Hermione in the og version, she wasn’t looking quite right - so I fixed it and have replaced it completely with the version above! This is what I get for colouring at 3am, instead of reading fanfiction at 3am like a normal healthy adult!

[annagaw]

One of my (many) current fixations is hyper-specific eras of historical clothing but with a magical twist, so here’s

Dramione Time Travel: 1810 Editon

Draco’s trousers are, unfortunately, entirely period-accurate.

This is likely the first in an ongoing series, if my many folders of reference images are to be believed.

I like the idea that bonnets would be pointed like witch’s hats and the strange decorative bags that ladies of that period would carry might resemble other common magical items. Also, for the sake of variety, I am mostly going to be doing muggle-style clothing and not robes.

Lmk what year you want to see next!

[annagaw]

hi! i love your art so much and was curious if you take commissions?

Thank you! 🥰 I’d really love to be able to offer commissions to those who are interested, but I’ve never been this involved in a fandom before, so don’t know how most other fan artists go about it.

I wouldn’t like to operate in a way that undermines anyone else’s practices, if that makes sense - like normalising the expectation that artists work for free. I am also aware that this is something we all do for fun, so am not particularly interested in trying to profit from it/turn it into any sort of job, esp since it’s not my IP.

Clearly some more thought/research is needed on my end, but if anyone has any info that I might find helpful, feel free to reach out.

Until then, I will definitely consider any requests for Dramione art that people might want to see, and am open to the idea of collaborations with writers/other artists!
