Not quite my Prophecy post, (that's still a WIP) but here's some art I did while I was away.
First up, a piece I did for
This (I was extremely shocked to realise) was the first time I have drawn Hagrid! And while I was painting him, I have to admit I was suddenly struck by how much he's like Chewbacca! ;~P (except Chewie's smarter. heh)
Anyway, putting it under a SPOILER CUT cos it's DH art and I don't want to upset anyone.
Death of Hedwig. *sob*
Next up is Sirius and Harry looking at the Black Family Tapestry in Grimmauld Place (OotP). This one is for Patty, who so generously welcomed Carmel and I into her home in Florida. *hugs Patty*
Then, lastly, one I did for my girlfriend, Carmel, who requested a magical creature. O.o
This one was painted on the flight from Orlando to Houston. (or was it Houston to LA? *flails at memory*) I took my copic markers on the plane and wondered why the hell I hadn't done that on previous flights, cos it makes the drawing so much fun. It wasn't until I was going through Customs in LA that I realised with utter horror that I had a pencil-case FULL of Copic refills. That's about 7 wee bottles of LIQUID. They make us throw out our water bottles and there I was with freaking ethanol!! They went through the x-ray, and nothing was said, so I thanked my lucky stars! I would have seriously cried if I'd been forced to throw out $100 worth of refills, but it would have been my own stupid fault. I made it through NZ customs too! I can only think that, because the refills were in with the markers, they all looked like markers under the x-ray. *feels guilty but grateful and promises to NEVER do it again.*
Argh! (randomly laments missing 'talk like a Pirate Day') Have to go pick up the boy from Cadets... Friday night is too short!!

When I was flying out of Florida I had some sort of brain fart and put them in my carry-on cos I wanted to draw! Didn't even THINK of the fluid business!
Glad you liked the pix! :~)

I love the way your do Sirius. I love the way you do all of them but he looks so fatherly or something in this one, the way he is looking at Harry.
I’m so glad you didn’t have your refills confiscated. That would have been a crime (not on your part) for them to take them from you. I can’t believe you managed to draw so well on the plane. I can’t hardly see straight much less draw straight.
Give a hug to Carmel for me would you.

I love the artwork though. I like the proud look on Sirius' face when he looks at Harry.
I'd love to pet those Thestrals, they look very majestic.

And hello, from SoCal! :) It was cool to see you when you were here! I thought of you guys on Tuesday because I went to Johnny Rockets with a friend of mine and we got the same waiter. HAha
