Um. Is it me, or is this Severus/Minerva art piece from this year's ![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-community.gif)
hp_beholder a dead ringer for this Severus/Hermione piece by Perselus?
I sure hope they got permission for the reference.

pennswoods advises that it's likely they simply both happened to use the same ref photo: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyfp64JHYM1qb3dcpo1_400.jpg
Since Perselus didn't cite the ref either, I'd always assumed the pose/composition was original from scratch, which would have made it rather rude for someone else to come along and draw a near-copy as a fest entry.
