The Heiress.

A new commission piece -





A deliberate homage to the film noir posters of the forties and fifties.
Copic marker and gouache on watercolour stock, with the text and borders added in Photoshop.

The story it's for can be found here.

Goodness how much I love your Ron... always. It never ceases to leave me with my chin hanging open. Ok, that didn't sound right. :P
But, I hope you know what I mean.

Gorgeous. Absolutely freakin gorgeous. And, I guess I am fortunate enought to actually KNOW what your talking about with the posters!

*hides wrinkles*

Brava! *applaudes*

That's beautiful! I love the way Hermione looks and the lines are amazing.

Oh, I love it. The noir feeling, the black and white. But all those wizarding touches and work so seamlessly, the celtic knots, the hoods. The tired looks in their eyes. Fantastic!

Lovely, as always. Hermione's hair and Ron's hand on the wand I like especially.

Hee, it made me think of the poster for The Good German (the style, not the actual art).

This looks fantastic. You've really done a great job in recalling the old film posters of the Golden Age. I went and googled a few to freshen my memory and think you did a great job. A lot of them seem to have that "two scene" thing going on. That is, they have one picture of the couple and then another picture of some other element of the story and both are incorpirated in the poster. I also love the bright, almost garish title splashed across the front. Now all you really need is some random disembodied heads pasted on there and a cheesy tag-line!

Fantastic as usual!

On another note, did you receive my e-mail?
