art - Afternoon in the Gryffindor Common Room

[leelastarsky]

I have a new commission piece to share. :~)



The commissioner herself ("lakestreet35" in other forums) is the one playing chess with Harry. :~)
Watercolours, Copic markers, and gouache on watercolour stock.


ETA: the cat is Crookshanks. ;~)

That is so beautiful! I love the little kitten playing with the string at the bottom. :) Not to mention the beautiful colours and textures throughout. A wonderful piece!

Heh, the little kitten is actually Crookshanks. Pigwideon is there too. ;~)

Hey, who did the art in your icon? It's beautiful as well.

Excellent work as usual, love the colours and the texture, composition and the dynamics. I love how happy and expressive the characters are. Great stuff!

You've been a busy girl! Gee you're clever. Whoa. So much detail. Even down to the little ripples in the rug. Beautiful work!

What a beautiful rendering. And Harry looks so grown up!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

He's supposed to be 7th yr, so I'm glad that comes across. Great to hear you enjoyed it!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou!! :~)

[mudblood428.livejournal.com]

Holy Moly.

Seriously, how LUCKY is that girl to be IN one of your pictures!! This is astounding, as always, and I will never know exactly how you manage to include such details and textures in... everything!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

*hugs you silly* Thanks, Venessa!! :~D

[tattooedsiren.livejournal.com]

Stunning!!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[bennmorland.livejournal.com]

Crookshanks, is that the half-cat's name? I can't remember...

In any case, This Is Fantastic!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Yep, Crookshanks is 'part Knezel.' (my spelling may be off ;~P)
It's great to hear that you enjoyed it, Benn.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love that you added the commisioner. Bravo!

Glad you enjoyed it, Kosh! :~)

[alicia-mb.livejournal.com]

Wow!! Gorgeous!! I love how you rendered everything - the cloth, the walls - all the textures are just perfect!! And, of course, the characters look fantastic as usual!! Just curious - did you work A4 or A3 sized? (Or something else :3)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

This painting was A3. Kind of a necessity because the faces would have been too small otherwise. ;~)
Glad you liked it!

I love the light coming in from the window. Crookshanks and Ginny are great, too. So lovely!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou for taking the time to comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

what a FABULOUS idea!!!

*eyes glaze over at the thought of the Harry/Ron/shocolate possibilities...*

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! ;~D

[siriusstar.livejournal.com]

The characters look great, as always... But I just LOVE the background! Everything is beautifully proportioned and all the little details are perfect.:)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou!! I used to loathe doing backgrounds, but have learnt to enjoy them by making them interesting for me. It's great to hear that it works in the context of the painting!
