As I promised, here is the night time version of "In The Garden"! I like this one better, especially since the story takes place at night. XD
Sadly, it looks as though the doujinshi will never be done, as Catwalk has not spoken to me in many months. She is the friend of mine who drew the two characters in this pic. I just colored them and pasted them onto the background, applied filters and such...If by some miracle you are reading this Catwalk, please contact me! I miss having you as a friend! However, the fanfic version of the story this pic goes with is still available upon request (I can't post it yet since it doesn't happen until later in the Hogwarts Yearbook storyline).
I used Vicman Photo Editor and Photoshop.
Anyway, the characters are Lucius Malfoy and Juniper Berry. Yes, it is the same Juniper Berry from my other two pictures, but this picture is when she is slightly older (just out of school) and her hair IS supposed to be white now. Lucius and Juniper were friends as children (their fathers were good friends) but after Juniper's father died they didn't see one another much. After Juniper finished school, Lucius caught up with her at her family's home in Ireland and seduced her.
I love you're character design! They're so awesome looking! Great job!

This is truely BEAUTIFUL!!!! It looks like a professionally animated scene from a Disney movie! The colors are great and I love the background. It looks better at night, more romantic. I also think the dark background helps the characters stand out more due to their white hair. I also like the outfit that Lucius is wearing; the old-fashioned yet regale style fits him very well.
And I think Juniper could very well pass for Narcissa in this scene (if you don't mind me saying - it's the white hair). I like writing about the Malfoys (Lucius, Narcissa and Draco) in my various fics - which I need to update!
Is Juniper worried about something? That's how she looks, like she's thinking of something else perhaps.
I prefer the nighttime version as well, not really because the story takes place at night but because the vibrant colours of the garden are not distracting you. The characters don't really blend in on the sunlit image, but they don't stand out either. I always think of Narcissa as a more golden blonde, but a pale gold as though it would only be white in the right light. As for your question concerning the fact that Juniper looks worried or distracted, think of it as though there is a part of her that doesn't want to be there and that is the moment right before she represses it. I just want to make certain everyone knows I did not draw the characters, I only coloured them and did the background. They were originally sketched by my friend Catwalk.
