the contest at HP monthly (http://www.floo.nu/hpmonthly
Notes:The topic was "romance" so not only did I want to do a popular couple, but i wanted to show how not everyones love is shared by all. Sirius is alwasy portrayed as kind of sassy and cool so of course hed get a girl. a popular one at that, hence narcissa, of course james has jsut given little a ring, and poor remus is never portayed with anyone. I just see him very shy and not full of confidence. book wormy and quiet.

yes yes i know, this was up before, but i accidently deleted it when trying to delete just the line art one, so here it is again!

I really don't like this pic..I liked the sketch a lot better..it's late and I wanted to finish it...there was too much green so I made the background lighter..oh well..and I hope he doesn't look so much like my wonderful ceddie anymore :-D

My second and probably final concept sketch of Rodger Davies. I did this in my government discussion today..I'm kind of sick and i really wanted to leave, so i did this to take up time and focus on something. After i finished it i realized this is exactly how I had pictured him...no wonder i was so uncertain about my fst pic of him! He'll have black hair and probably hazel eyes..maybe a bluish green..im not sure yet, but anyway, here's our handsom ravenclaw quidditch captain!! thanks all you guys at artistic alley for the wonderful constructive crits that led me here!

Woot!! finished it!!! I wanted to put it in a scene that was all about the marauder era, and of course the Whomping Willow came to mind..I know it look terrible..I'm not known for my masterpiece backgrounds...but whatever....I'm just glad it's done..there may be tweeking in the future..but probably not. Anyway, if you dont know how they are its, SNape, Narcissa, Lucius, Sirius, James, Lily, Peter and Remus! if you dont know which is which..then..why ar eyou even looking in my gallery? im jsut playing..enjoy!

yeah..his head is way too big..hopefully coloring it evend things out..but it still bugs me. Anyway, it's sopposed to be kind of like the sirius pic..and ill do one of james and peter (wow1 it will be my first pic of peter!!) his legs looks terrible..but i based his shoes off some i saw in switzerland that i reall liked...so..thats that.

and i dont know exactly if hes soppsoed to be in gryffindor ( i dont remeber it syaing in the book, i guess its just usualy assumed. but this other WONDERFUL artist, nasubiona, drew him as a ravenclaw..and i really think thats more fitting for him! he alwasy seems to be the down to earth one, so i made him ravenclaw here :-)
