Notes: My finger slipped and the art became saturated. I hope it communicates the summery-ness of the setting though ;)

Not a fan of femslash but can appreciate a good piece of artwork - and this is great! The saturation works well. It's very summery. I also love that you made Hermione a poc. I love her hair!

[gracerene]

Aww, that was just the cutest thing ever!! I love the summery vibe of it all, and they both looked so lovely and happy out there on the beach. Great work! <3

I LOVE this!!!! Makes me want to hit the beach.

This was really cute :D I especially love the water--it looks stunning! ♥

[woldy]

This is absolutely lovely! You've captured both women really well from their physical appearance to Hermione's bookishness and Pansy's demanding attitude, and I really enjoyed this vision of the two of them unwinding :-)

This is beautiful. I love the rich colors, the summery sky and sun and blue water. I love how you envision the two of them, Hermione being a woman of color in particular, plus the very IC reading under an umbrella to Pansy's being a bit translucently manipulative. ;-) I love the motion you conveyed in the panel where Pansy flips Hermione underneath her. Guh! And the hand going up Hermione's swim top and that strap coming off her shoulder... Thanks for this really lovely piece! I adore this pairing! ♥

[besamislabios]

Aww, I love this!! This is beautiful, I love the colors, and they're both so cute. ♥

This is fabulous!

The saturation works wonderfully; I can almost feel the sun shining through my screen.

I agree with other commenters - POC Hermione is lovely, and I really like how you've shown her blushing in so many of the frames.

I adore Pansy's face, especially in the frame where Hermione's applying the sunscreen. Just lovely!

My favourite part, though, is the hands! So many dainty fingers!

[brightflower]

This is so adorable and so amazingly well drawn! I think it perfectly emits the summer atmosphere!

Hello! I'm not that familiar with comic strips, so I don't know if this is a thing people usually do - but I'm really enjoying your presentation of each individual frame!! I love how asymmetrically you've laid them out. Compositionally, it feels incredibly fresh and interesting. Your attention to detail really shines through; the fabric of Hermione's dress, the pair's expressions, the last shot - is that Pansy pulling down Hermione's bra!? And the hands!!! This has to be my favourite aspect of your artwork - your commitment to depicting their hands and portraying their touch! It's incredibly intimate: the hand slipping under a dress, a hand gripping the suncream, a zoomed in shot of their finger's intwined... It's all very filmic. And massive props to your technical drawing ability - hands are a TOTAL bitch to draw - well done!!! Mine always look like little sausages. You've drawn them very elegantly. Lovely lovely! Gorgeous fun colours - YAY TO SATURATION!! - it feels fresh and alive and I love it. Thank you anonymous!!

I'm not a big fan of femslash in HP but I like this. It's so sweet and the art is great! It makes me wanna go to the beach which is a huge thing coz I'm not really an outdoor type. XD

[carpemermaid.livejournal.com]

Ohhh I just adore this! I love the setting/background atmosphere, and Pansy being all sneaky to get Hermione in the mood. And Hermione is just absolutely adorable in this!! I really really love the panels with them laughing, the kiss, hand holding closeup, and Pansy's hand sneaking under Hermione's top. Super sweet and super cute comic! :D

[capitu]

This is not only the cutest thing in the world, it's so colourful and bright, and they are so flirty and adorable!

I love your Hermione! \o/ She's super cute, I adore her hair, her reading, that blush she gives Pansy.

And Pansy super coy and sexy.

I love this, absolutely to bits! :D

From the moment this landed in my inbox, I've been crazy about this art. There's so much to love, that I can't even.

I love love love Hermione. She's absolutely perfect in this. I love her hair, her skin tone, her blushing... hiding behind her book and then finally getting all playful with Pansy.

And then there's PANSY who is just divine in this. She's so flirty and cute and such a little deviant. This i gorgeous pairing, and this is a gorgeous piece of art.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us -- and oh the colours -- and the water -- and every single fucking panel.

You're amazing. You are.

This is so pretty and cute, and funny too. I love Hermione's blush and Pansy's expressions. It's so true to them, all of it, and I love what Hermione's wearing. Pretty color and beautiful pattern - it feels like something I'd wear, possibly. :D

[smirkingcat.livejournal.com]

awwww this is all mighty cute!
and you did a wonderful job on both of their hairs so go you! and thanks for that big smile you put in my face!

[khalulu]

So pretty! And I love how both of them look, our blushing bookish brown-skinned Hermione with her beautifully bushy hair, and charming (East Asian?) Pansy.

Oh this is so beautiful! I agree with everyone else, the colors are magnificent and the story is so adorable. Loved it!

[articcat621.livejournal.com]

I love how beautiful and sweet this art it!! The contrast between them both is perfect, and I love that Pansy is a little sneaky ;) wonderful job!! <3

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

OMGOSHHHHH I'm in love, this is so sweet and both of them are so lovely and perfect, and argh, Pansy, I love her!! *swoons*

Hermione is gorgeous and amazing as well, I love their back and forth and the *sunscreen*, gosh, stroke of genius! This is really wonderful, and sweet and sexy, and I adore it :D:D:D

<333

[snegurochka_lee]

That was sweet and lovely!

[lokifan]

Aw, this is adorable and I love the colourful style!

So cute, so pretty, so colourful! The last pic is my favourite, where Hermione goes \o/. That actually made me laugh. :)

I'm not into femslash, actually, but isn't this adorable? I'm telling you: it is.

The storyline is very cute, to be honest. And then there's Pansy's cunningness and Hermione's righteousness, and the latter's surrender to her lover's demands requests.

You've drawn it really well, too. I like it.

xoxo!
