Gift Art

[leelastarsky]

This is a gift for my very first international fangirl buddy (1983!!!), Sherilyn, whose love for the Malfoys - Lucius in particular - flows undaunted. ;~D





Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco.


Narcissa was based on a mix of Juliet Landau (who will always be Bellatrix in my mind) and Jenny Agutter.
Lucius is of course Jason Isaacs and Draco a slightly aged up Tom Felton.


Joyous Yule, Sheri!

Really quick: They're so AMAZING. The painting quality deems this worthy to be hanging over the Malfoy Estate Mantlepiece. They are so amazing and perfect and blond and elegance tenfold. I love the stitchwork on Draco and Lucius' collars SO MUCH. God, they're family! My heart, warmed. Even if they're Malfoys, at least they love each other! *hee*

Happy Holidays and thank you!

Oh thankyou! {{hugs}} So much praise! *blushes* And, yes, I've always felt that, despite their arrogance and snootiness, there was definate love between the Malfoys. Certainly for their son anyway.

Your art is so beautiful, it kinda makes me want to cry. (trying NOT to sound nuts) I LOVE the Malfoy's and this certainly does them justice!<3

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thrilled that you like it so much. If a Malfoy fan likes it, then I must have got something right? ;~)

LOL at your icon!

[esicardi.livejournal.com]

Simply amazing!

Oh WOW. Holy mother of... that is GORGEOUS. Wow wow wow. Such detail. It is really, really amazing.

I love your three Malfoys. They make such a handsome family! Not the nicest, maybe, but who needs nice when they can have good bone structure, instead?

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. :~) Glad you enjoyed the pic!

Guh! That is beautiful! I love the texture, the colors, and how well detailed it all is. Simply perfection of the Malfoy Family Portrait. Marvelous job; incredibly stunning.

I loved how you combined two women to create Narcissa, especially Juliet Landau. You're right, I've always imagined her as Bellatrix Lestrange and always will too -- basically because once reading the description of Bellatrix I realized hey, that sounds oddly like our beloved Drusilla in BtvS! So that's who I visualize as Bellatrix -- but, as I said, I loved how you combined the two and gave Narcissa an elegant and almost psychotically beautiful character. Older Feltonized Draco looks astonishingly perfect (love the hair!) and always Jason Isaacs, as the devilish Lucius Malfoy.

Overall, the drawing looks fantastic! I know, I'm gushing over it but it definitely needs to be gushed over because -- wow! Talented you are, m'dear. :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed the pic!

Personally, I'm sure Dru from Buffy was JK's inspiration for Bella. ;~) Bella just doesn't have Dru's 'cute' side. :~D

Jenny Agutter!! Sorry, I'm a fan of Coupling and she will from now on be associated with it. *hee*

Re: here via quickquote

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I've never seen 'Coupling' (hadn't heard of it till you mentioned it), but it sounds like it could be pretty amusing. :~)

[accio-draco.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is just beautiful. One of the best I've ever seen, if not the best.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Oooo, thankyou! *blushes* Glad you liked it!

Gwah. It's so FANTASTIC. *stares* *__________________* *hearts and favorites*

Thanks! :~D

[lissannej.livejournal.com]

What a fantastic picture, Kate! The detail is marvellous. You'd swear you were looking at a picture of Jason Isaacs.

Hope you and the family had a lovely Christmas :-)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Liss! So glad you liked the pic! :~D And, yes, to my great surprise, Xmas Day has been very, very pleasant! Hope yours was nice too! (and not too hot? the weather here in Melb. couldn't have been more perfect.)

[odyssey01.livejournal.com]

I've been checking your journal every now and then for your wonderful art and I think Christmas is a nice occasion to come out of my "lurker-dom" and finally tell you how much I love your art. I adore the way you combine realism with your very own and unique perception of the characters. You're a wonderful artist and I'd really like to thank you for sharing your art :)

Merry Christmas, Odyssey :)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou for taking the time to 'de-lurk' and comment. :~D I'm thrilled to know that you enjoy my art.
Merry Christmas to you too. :~)

Gorgeous! Lucius looks exactly like in the movies! And you captured the exact smirk on Draco's face! Lovely!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :~)

...Holy. Hell.

Your talent amazes me.

Glad you liked the pic! :~D

[hhhellcat.livejournal.com]

The detailing on the robes, especially Lucius' is magnificent! I also like the color choices and the expressions on their faces, as well as how you've aged Tom Felton a bit. Your Narcissa is fabulous as well!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So glad you liked it. :~)

[bloodybrilliant.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just. Stunning...
What everyone else said. :) I cannot add to that. It is just an incredible picture of them. Their expressions and the detail!!! :D

Wow! again.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou so much! Glad youliked it. :~D

[illiriahrising.livejournal.com]

I really enjoy your work and this latest one of the Malfoys is no exception! You captured Jason's "Lucius" perfectly. (and I am so glad that I am not the only person on earth that thinks Juliet Landau would be the PERFECT Bellatrix!)

Wonderful job as always!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! So glad you enjoyed my Malfoy portrait. (and, yes, I'm pretty sure Dru was a major influence on the creation of Bella. ;~) )

[npetrenko.livejournal.com]

Excellent work.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! Glad you liked it. :~D

While I think the Malfoys are basically aristocratic scum, I think you've captured their essence perfectly! My work isn't neaqrly this good. (Hope for the future). Thank's for a beautiful pic. Alorkin@msn.com

[dindongbell.livejournal.com]

Wow. I am really impressed. You really are awesome, awesome, awesome. I've put most of your links to my memories, hope you don't mind that. And I can't help it, but I am friending you now. So I don't come across as stalking your journal, but simply as just checking my flist, lol. Hope that's okay?:D

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! *friends you back* :~)

[moshi.livejournal.com]

Ohh wow, that's amazing. They're all so beautiful and the detail astounds me. I particularly like how you've drawn Draco. Lovely :)

[cravache.livejournal.com]

This is just... I hate being lost for words. The detail and the colouring is just incredible. Incredible. God, anything I say will sound lame. It's amazing. I am astounded by your talent. Completely astounded. You are an incredible artist. ♥

[moonanddogstar.livejournal.com]

I've just been trawling the archives of hp_art and came across this pic. It's absolutely wonderful! I wish I could draw people like that! I love the details you added to their clothes and the family resemblances are startling. Well done!

[moonanddogstar.livejournal.com]

Actually I lied, it was hpart. :)
