A few notes:
This is my own personal interpretation of Snape (sorry fangirls, I loved Alan Rickman’s Snape but I never felt he looked quite like how I pictured him). I always imagined him as having a more slender face and being younger. Hopefully that doesn’t keep you from appreciating it; this is one of the very few pieces where everything came out exactly as I intended, and I am very happy with it! 🙂 So, I would appreciate it if there was no complaining about how he doesn’t look like Alan Rickman, as he’s not supposed to look like him. 😀 He may not look like your own personal idea of Snape—it’s impossible to capture everyone’s own personal idea of him—but it’s mine and I think you can at least tell who it is. 🙂
Originally the patronus was much brighter. While this was pretty, it was definitely detracting from the piece as a whole. It was overpowering Snape, and taking it from a piece about him to more like “Here’s a cool-looking doe with Snape in the background.” Trust me when I say that as a piece, it overall works better without such a bright, glowy doe, as the two were REALLY competing for attention before.
Someone also mentioned that they didn’t think his scowl matched how he should be looking when casting his patronus (because he would need to summon his happiest memory). While this may be true, this piece is meant to represent Snape’s overall character, and I almost exclusively imagine Snape scowling. Plus, I think his scowl juxtaposes nicely against it—and it’s representative of Snape himself, as he has a tough outer exterior with his softer side hidden from the world.
The symbols in the seal behind him are potions, lilies, the symbol on the Defense Against the Dark Arts book, a snake and the Deathly Hollows symbol. A little Easter egg: the cauldron bears the Roman numerals for the number “394.” You can see more potions and things behind him, and a snitch is at the bottom as well (mostly just as a design filler and I liked how it looked there.) 😀
Anyway, this was a pretty personal design for me as Snape’s one of my faves (the other is Luna). I hope you guys like it too!
Cheers,
Megan
Get it as a print on Society6 or Redbubble!
Grab the shirt on redbubble or teepublic (cheapest option!), print or sticker!
I wanted to draw Luna as a “lucky cat.” I just picked the Sailor Moon imagery that made the best composition to go around, because there is SOOOOO much fun stuff to draw in the SM universe. Sparkles and stars and hearts, oh my! This was super fun—hope you dig it.
Portrait Commission
Decided to add some of my older digital portraits to my portfolio! Not accepting requests for them atm, however. Thanks!

This illustration is a parody/mash-up of sorts that I (Megan Lara) created— I based it exactly on Mucha’s art nouveau pieces “The Cowslip” and “The Feather,” which I quite often see as a diptych. I have several different versions of this available as prints and things! I packed a ton of references into these pieces, some more subtle than others. 🙂 I hope you enjoy it! I had a blast creating it. 🙂
The version I created for t-shirts (in order to get rid of the boxy design, I used several of Mucha’s flourishes to make it more aesthetically pleasing, and added text) is available as a shirt on Society6 ($5 off plus free shipping until midnight on April 13th-also available on things other than shirts), Design By Humans and Redbubble (kid’s clothes available on Redbubble and Society6 btw!) and Teepublic (the cheapest option!)
AND finally, signed prints available in my Etsy store. 🙂
Almost There
is a design based on one of Mucha’s illustrations! I plan to complete a whole series of princess and mucha mashups. You can get this as a print on Society6 or Redbubble, and as a shirt on RB and S6 currently (will add to Teepublic soon, after a nap!) . Enjoy!
Another wonderful collaboration between myself and Omega Man 5000! ”In the Name of the Moon” is available on shirts, stickers and more at the following stores: Teepublic (cheapest tees), Society6 (best quality prints) and Redbubble(only place you can get stickers!). Enjoy!
Don’tcha Wanna Rev Up Your Harley?
by Megan Lara
I based this on one of my favourite Gil Elvgren pin ups! I feel kinda like she looks like a crazed Joker obsessed fangirl with the plushie and what not—which I think is appropriate, haha. 🙂 I tried to keep a good balance of sexy and crazed; hopefully you all like it! You can get it on all the following goodies:
- Shirts on Teepublic($14), Redbubble and Society6
- Prints on Society6 and Redbubble (soon to be signed ones on Etsy!)
- Stickers on Redbubble
- Mugs on Society6,
- Pillows on Society6 and Redbubble,
- Totes on Society6 and Redbubble,
- Clocks on Society6 and more!
