My contribution to the Marauders Cruel Summer Exchange!🖤

This project has been such a journey and I’m so excited to finally share it! Things took a little longer than planned (life happens) but it was so worth it to see everything come together in the end

I want to give a massive thank-you to Emma ( @emjayeingray ), the most patient and talented binder I could have hoped to work with. She made this process so fun, and her creativity and kindness made brainstorming ideas an absolute joy. She is a true gem and ofc the final binding is just stunning!

And, of course, thank you to @vellichorbindery for inviting me to participate in this amazing exchange.

For my part, I worked on the art on the cover and the little sketches printed inside the pages. Seeing it all bound so beautifully by Emma made all the effort so worth it.

Also a huge shout out to @mollymarymarie who wrote this masterpiece !!

Heyyy, just wanna let you know that while scrolling on your blog I realised a lot of my fav Marauders fanarts ever are apparently by the same artist, you!!! Should have recognised the style sooner. I absolutely ADORE how you draw Lily, Dorcas and Pandora, and James is so cool too <333 Keep it up and don’t let any haters bring you down!!! Love ya xx

Oh my gosh, hiiii!!! This just made my whole day, thank you so much!! 🥹 I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying my work—Lily, Dorcas, and Pandora are so nice to draw, so it means the world that you love them!! And James 🥰 he’s always fun to bring to life.

Seriously, your kind words mean everything. I’ll keep doing my best, and knowing people like you are out there makes it all so worth it! Love you right back <33

this sounds quite heavy but ur lily looks so much like my best friend that passed away last year. It’s like seeing a version of her drawn by you and the art feels so alive. I absolutely adore your version of lily ☹️🩷

Thank you so much for sharing that with me. Honestly, when I read your message, it hit me really hard, I felt like I was going to cry for days… I’m so deeply sorry for your loss and I’m incredibly honored that my version of Lily could remind you of your best friend. I never imagined my art would connect with someone on such a profound level and it’s really touching to know it has this kind of meaning for you.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I create art in the first place. Knowing that something I’ve drawn could bring even a little comfort or spark a memory of someone so important is beyond anything I could have hoped for. I’m sending you so much love, and I’m truly grateful that you shared this with me. Your words mean the world to me and I’ll carry them with me as I continue to create.

[evyltalks]

hehe

(Im giggling at this)

[evyltalks]

I LOVE your fanarts; you're an amazing artist and don't let these fools tell you otherwise. Your Lily makes me feel seen, and I'm glad we have people like you in this fandom.

Friendly reminder for certain ignorant individuals; this is not how you cure racism and fatphobia.

I just love seeing this. People feeling seen thanks to my art it just makes my little cold heart melt

Thank you for your kind words and I hope I’ll be able to make art thatll continue to resonate with you 🫶🫶

Honestly this fic made me understand these two in a whole new level, seeing them in different eyes. I just love how fantastic this fic is. Mere I just have to say thank you and to @librideluna for pushing me to read it.

"As I stand on the precipice of my destiny, I cannot help but mourn the lost potential of a different life, a life where love and happiness were an option. This tear is the last vestige of my humanity, a silent lament for the boy I once was and the man I will never become. It is a testament to the tragedy of my existence, a final goodbye to the dreams that will never be realized.

Standing here, on the brink of darkness, I reflect on the cruelty of fate. The family I was born into, the burdens I inherited and bore every day, the path I was coerced into walking, all conspired to bring me to this moment. I am haunted by the faces of those I love, their unfulfilled hopes and broken dreams, echoing the hollow promises of a future stolen by shadows. I wonder if, somewhere in another life, I might have found redemption, might have forged a different path away from this abyss.

But now, as the darkness gains ground, I realize there is no turning back. I am unable to move. The choices made in fear and desperation have sealed my fate, and all that remains is this single tear, a symbol of everything I have lost and everything I will never become. This is my requiem, my last act of rebellion against the powers that have condemned me, my silent cry against the impending doom.”

(This is a redraw of something I did more than a year ago. I’ve been wanting to redo it for a long time since I loved the concept, but I thought I could revisit it while leaving more to the viewer’s interpretation. So, I hope you like it !!)

[evyltalks]

actually baffled at people getting pressed about your lily & james like??? are we looking at the same artwork?? because i am ON MY KNEES for both of them, i’m literally begging them for one tiny chance

also like, it’s fandom? just don’t interact with what you don’t like? idk just made me so mad bc your art is so so so beautiful and you don’t have to share it, so idk where people get off by being so rude 😭😭 anyway THANK YOU for providing the most amazing art, i only just discovered you last week with your remus study and now i’m CRAZY obsessed with all of your stuff <3

Omgggg your message just made my day !! I’m so glad you love my Lily and James. It's wild that some people get so worked up over different interpretations. Knowing that you’re so supportive means everything to me. Thank you so much for your incredible words and for discovering my art. Your enthusiasm makes sharing my creations so worthwhile. I'm thrilled you're enjoying the Remus study and all my other pieces. You’re amazing! <3

[evyltalks]

I think about your animal paintings daily, I love them so much, the style the colors. The stag is my phone’s background. Oh and The horse the raven !!! Anyways sorry about all the lily slander you’re getting :/

Your lily, your fat lily is beautiful and very precious <3 also your james. ‘wrong ethnicity’ is fucking mental, one thing I love about this fandom is how many different ethnicities we place on them and make them our own

Hope you have a wonderful beautiful day/night

🩵

I loved doing this little series of paintings (might do more in the future) and I’m super glad you liked them as much as I do hehe

And you’re absolutely right the diversity showcased in this fandom is beautiful and won’t let anyone telle me otherwise

Have a lovely day/night 🤍🤍
