Loffly, dear. I love how the hilt of the sword is squishing into his cheek. It's a nice touch. He looks like a very warm, welcoming sort. The plaits in his hair are cool too.
I don't think he looks Gandalfy at all ... and it's awesome. Love the expression on his face as well as all the little detail ... and the red Weasley hair. *grins*
I love the background you've chosen, and that mischievous look on his face. The coloring is really wonderfully done. The light and shadow picking up the veins on his hands, the folds of his robes... One of the things I like best about your Godric is the way you incorporated those braids into his hair - a hint of Viking, perhaps?
As with all of your art, it's beautiful. Great job Kate!
Glad you liked it! The background is common for all the cards - have a look here hp_art_deck - and was made by one of the other artists. It is really lovely, I agree. I used it on the Ron Weasley I did for this set too. http://www.livejournal.com/users/leelastarsky/26183.html :~)
I loved that Ron pic too. Didn't realize what hp_art_deck was all about, but after cruising through the com, I have to say, it's pretty interesting! Thanks for the link!
Ooooh, lovely. He looks medieval enough for me to expect him to start speaking in Anglo-Saxon. Like the veins on his hands, makes me wonder why he is grabbing his sword so tightly.
thats just cool. Your work reminds me of the Pern. There was a book I once ow-d and ah-d over and I believe it was called "The People of the Pern." So this IS A MAJOR compliment. I like your works though because I'm more familiar with the characters. Very cool.
I don't think he looks Gandalfy. Although, he is reminding me of a certain comedian, whose name I can't recall right now. 0.0
I like how you gave him red hair, green eyes and braids. It sort of covertly links him to main characters. ^^ The details in this are so attractive! His hair, the lines about his eyes, the veins in his hands!!! The sword is making me long for my own. *sniff* And the fade into parchment is a nice touch. Sort of majestic and mysterious. While Godric himself looks honest and inviting. Gotta love the contrast!
This is amazing work!! The shading, the detail, the features, the wrinkles around his eyes, the sword, his hair!!! GUH!!! You are a fantastic artist! I salute you!!! *bows*
Oh my- I really like this- especially the details on his hands- I love the veins! and his hair/facial hair is so realistic! How on earth do you do that?
Wonderful art. I really love the look to his face. It's like he's thinking about something really happy while concentrating. That's very interesting...
*sighs*....when I'm grown up - I want to draw and paint like you... *giggles* No, honestly....this is just breathtaking. The sword, his cheek, his hands, his mischievous look! You are soooooo good!!! *adores* All over... I love this picture!
What I wouldn't do to have talent like this...*le sigh*
This is completely awesome. He does look a tad bit Gandalf-y, but not really. Heh.
I love the textures around the centre focus, his hands, the red hair, vivid green eyes, the way the sword is resting against his cheek, and the overall colour of the image. Very gorgeous.
