#Draw Me After You (Let Us Run)

[virgil-anon]

love rereading draw me after you (let us run) whenever a new ch is posted and I just read the whole thing again bc I consume this fic like crack

[eris-eveningstar]

I am officially on dmay chapter 28 and Harry just realized Voldemort is courting him. This is literally sooo good. There's not action at all yet but tbh I don't even mind. I just love to see their interactions and their flirting. Ugh it's sooo good.

Voldemort is so romantic in draw me after you (let us run), he’s like I haven’t wanted you dead in a long time, Harry. I’m swooning on Harry’s behalf, lmfao.

not-yet-dead-person

silly comic of a conversation in-game i thought was too funny not to make something proper for instead of a doodle ww

(timelapse + wip images (thus silly process commentary in read more if you like artist commentary :3)

i think the sketch looks silly and goofy and funny so i find it important to share with you the mere presence of the faces i drew on it. i drew it on top of the boxes without staying inside its borders because i find my proportions can get wonky if i draw them cropped in a restricted space. and I feel trapped otherwise and i will draw BAD!!! give me spaceeeee to go wild!!!!

the head circles are there for emotional support

very low res speedpaint because truth is the canvas was much bigger than the space where my comic was placed. i didnt account when exporting my timelapse in 720px that that tiny space would look so pixelated ... but it's able to be percieved, so its okay.

(i will now comment on my process and it is not brief sorry)

usually i would try to clean up my sketches and figure out what goes on top before jumping into linework, but since there are multiple panels and drawings i chose to jump into inking right away for the sake of brevity. i just went in with a brush that uses pen pressure and drew what was needed. i added extra line thickness and contrast in areas around the face because it helps direct your eyes there more easily that way.

according to her equipment rei has a chain belt but i only remembered it existed once I was going to color, and i did not like that discovery... I chose to ignore it to maintain my peace. i already have the color palettes for these characters figured out, and i didnt really want to think about a new element at the moment www I tend to overthink those things a lot so i skipped it

the rest is rather straightforward! not that anything else wasn't, but in here i could turn my brain off and sing. linework and sketching require mumbling so i cannot turn my brain off. just block in the characters with a solid color so i can have a mask (something along those lines,) where the color can stay inside. then just color in !!!

Base colors just had slight cell shading on the skin, and for the hair i airbrush a bit of the skincolor in low opacity near the forehead... I'm not sure what it means, but i can look at the faces easier with it somehow. i like the gentle subtlety it adds even if you cant really tell. it makes things look nice.

background was just me blocking in the color of the wall and floor, shade the wall a bit, then slap a noise and free use wood texture on top. work smarter not harder ! yet it took a bit to make it look stylistically fitting with the characters, and even now i think bottom middle panel looks odd. whatever!!!

for the middle panel i thought itd be funny if the background was a solid silly and colorful one to contrast the next panel's sketchy black one. a contrast to how the word widow is seen. on that note my handwritting is not pointy. i gaslighted my hand into thinking that it was indeed pointy in that moment so i could write "not-yet dead person" in letters that didn't seem cute. my hand did not fall for it but it complied anyway

that's basically it! I'm not sure what else i could say that doesn't feel barebones because it really is that straightforward. if you're curious I used clip studio paint for this. only special brush used was for linework (a brush named Lemon Brush), the rest used were just the default. my computer gets the least credit. it was trying to convince me a 20mb file was going to nuke it all the time and hardly let me save multiple times so i do not appreciate it

[eris-eveningstar]

It took until chapter 35. Until chapter 35. Finally these guys are confessing. Dmay is such a freaking slow burn. God I love it. It's sooo good.

[victorian0error]

I finished reading draw me after you (let us run) and oh my god that fic is so good

Can’t wait till new chapters come out

[todayisafridaynight]

still obsessed with how whenever you look up nakai you just get adachi front and center instead of arakawa or like. anyone he's actually played

[tommarvoloriddlesdiary]

i’m just looking for someone who will say “ah, shall i chase you?” to me like is it really so hard

[firendgold]

Just wondering, is there any Tomarry fanfics you like?

Eh, not really...

I have a few of Lomonaaeren's fanfics that I love, such as their Earning His Notice tomarry series from back in 2018 which is really good, but for the most part I avoid reading too many fics of that ship because many of its shippers love to either infantilize/feminize Harry to prop up Tom, or bash Dumbledore (or both).

“What better way to serve my Lord than directly at his side?” Harry asked.

Still not over it tbh

Or should we maybe talk about Severus drinking firewhiskey tea made by Remus?

Or should we talk about how HARRY HAS A DARK MARK TEMPORARILY ??? Half real???????? (My boy has rizz that make everyone blush and V too much patience (rizz by V makes me blush tho so harry has also patience))
