Harry
at 16 - I'm surprised how easy it was to age him.
Ron
at 16 - Actually turned out pretty well, summing up the awkward
jerky nature of most teenage boys.
Hermione
at 16 - Once again flirting with a new design for Hermione. Meh,
'salright.
Harry
and Scrimgeour - I was so pleased with my earlier design for the
Leonid man described on Ms Rowling's site that I was disappointed when
he had a small and two-dimensional role. Oh well.
Dumbledore
and Young Riddle - This is probably my favourite scene in the book
and the one to leave the strongest visual impression. Upon rereading
it (halfway through completion of the drawing) I don't think Tom ever
is in this pose, but I liked what it said in body language so I'm going
to pretend that it was written that way. He also looks a bit too old,
but I'm a terrible judge of age, so what do I know? Anyway, I'm rambling.
I like it.
Merope
Gaunt - Gee, you'd think I liked Brett Helquist's art or something.
I'm not sure her face is 'heavy' enough, but she's got the frazzled,
desperate look I was going for. Her far hand is supposed to be on something
but it's too high for a sink or counter ... any lower, though, and it
would mess up the action line, so I don't know what to do with it.
Morfin
Gaunt - I realised while drawing this that I had cast Deagol as
Morfin. Um.
Malfoy
at 16 - Design probably inspired by one of the characters in a classmate's
final film. I tried giving him a thicker neck to age him up a little,
but I may have gone too far.
Professor
Slughorn - Likely stolen from a project I was working on with a
friend which had a character that looked very similar. Sluggy's fatter,
though ...
Going
It Alone - Harry's avowal to fight Voldemort alone and not involve
any of his friends, and their subsequent pledge of allegiance to him,
reminded me very much of the end of the movie version of Fellowship
of the Ring.
