One of my more recent favorite H/D artists - whose art has always managed to make me stop and stare in the past year or two - is
reira_21. She works with different mediums (pen, watercolor etc.) but she always manages to imbue each piece with a unique brilliance. Some of my favorites are Ice & Fire, Too Tender For The Air, A Journey and To Separate From Life. You can check out all her past work here.
My favorite H/D artist is hands down,
red_rahl. First came across her art in 2005, which was the same year I got active on lj. What started out as spazzing over her fantastic H/D chibis has morphed over the years into a love affair with her art across pretty much all fandoms. From her unique way of drawing chibis to the characterization and storylines in her comics - everything just clicks. Today, I can't think of Harry/Draco without thinking of her art.
Here are some art!picks from across the years:
- 2010: First Kiss of the Year
- 2009: Breakfast of Chibis (chibi comic) ♥ | A Letter From the Jungle (comic) | More Than The Sea & Sky | The Problem With Portraits (short comic)| Harry's One Present (chibi comic) | Bouncing Bronco (chibi)
- 2008: In Knead | A New Year of Discover | Not Alone (chibi) ♥ | the cracktastic veggie!H/D series: 1, 2 & 3
- 2007: Proper Inscentive (regular comic) | Conventional Thinking ♥ | The Best Gifts in Life (chibi) | The whole cake... (chibi)
- 2006: To Have and To Hold (chibi) ♥♥♥ | Rapunzel (chibi) |Falling Into Heaven (chibi) | Bedroom Eyes (chibi comic) | Snowy Night
- 2005: For More Than Just Smores (chibi) | Adoration in its Many Forms ♥ (chibi comic) | Somewhere Down the Road (young H & D) | When In Rome | Desert (chibi) | Harry Potter and the Mysterious Fragrance (comic)
Anyway, there's lots more on the
rahly_furverted community (some locked to members for adult!content), including collabs with other talented artists (like myrafur XD **) and its definitely worth a look! ** edit: Ok, nearly ALL the awesome stuff done between the two are locked (so join!) except for Of Water and Moonlight ♥
Another HP artist I really like but has yet to do ANY Harry/Draco is flayu on DA. She's one of the few artists over there who has no DA journal, no site or lj or blog. So all I can really do is sit back and appreciate the shiny art. Some examples of her work are Nineteen Years Later, The New Generation, LV & HP. For more pretty, check out her DA gallery
H/D art over the past year or two that caught my eye:
- glockgal's commission for femmequixotic
- The Cursed Wood by lillithium (downloadable version posted here) *
- Harry and Draco at a bar by draykonis (commissioned by femmequixotic)
- I'd Be Yours by naadi - very different coloring style that gives an interesting visual effect
- fanlay's DD entry
- Red Wall by ghot

lillithium is another artist whose talent just leaves me in awe - whether its work in pen, ink, watercolor or pencil, she's always got something pretty on her lj.
