Snapetober #31 — Spooky
This drawing is only going to make sense to me but I could not finish Snapetober without including them so there it is.
Back in the day, before the publishing of OotP and when we had no info on him, I decided Severus would be born on the 31st of October, because being born on Halloween was cool and dark 🦇 Later I also decided he had secret twin siblings.
I first drew a vanilla version of this but I wanted it to fit today's word at least a little bit, so had to think of a way to dress them up.
By October 86 his sister should have had a baby daughter so I guess that's how they convinced him to put on a costume for a Halloweeny birthday. He definitely went for what would require the less effort*. I thought maybe it could be a tradition in the French wizarding society to pay hommage to/dress up as folklore figures for Halloween so she's dressed as Mélusine, and his brother as a lébérou, which is a sort of French werehare cursed to roam forever at night.

*what a coincidence, that's also how he looked like in my first fic. it was very emo.
#I realised typing this that this tradition makes no sense since the French do not traditionally celebrate Halloween#and I guess French wizards would have a different name for it#and bc it's the season of the dead it would have made *so much more sense* to dress up as things like ghosts or psychopomps#DAMN IT.#but then again earlier today when I thought about French mythology I specifically rejected the Ankou *because* he looks like death#i thought Sev wouldn't be too keen on that kind of costume :|#so yeah. maybe they tweaked the OG tradition to accommodate him.#also it was drawn after a stock photo#and it's actually my third drawing for today's Snapetober because I gave up on the 1st one and disliked the 2nd one#it's not that spooky but please bear with me#I've now been on this one for... like 6 hours#it's almost 3am and i haven't had dinner#and it's not even done in ink! D:#BUT i consider my Ink/Snapetober to be done anyway YAY#2nd attempt was done in ink so it counts#not sure i'm happy with the colours but i have to stop at some point and go put some food in me and get sleep and everything#snapetober 2024#snapetober#severus snape#snape#snape fanart#hp fanart#snape & ocs#the triplets#SlythenclawAU!Snape#my art
