HP_2021_001
Added 2021-08-20 21:32:27 +0000 UTCIt took me a while to decide to draw this piece. I’m still cross with JKR and still adamant that we should refrain from promoting her. But as I was pondering ideas for the new pic, this idea came up to me and I just couldn’t find anything better. So finally, I gave in.
This was supposed to be Ginny getting ready for her wedding by the way. But as I was doing the colors, all I could think was that she reminded me of Emma Watson so, I ended up changing the hair color and named her Hermione instead :P still work!
Hope you guys dig it!
In term of colors, I think this might be my finest work to date. I think I managed a blend of the 2 techniques that really worked here.
What do you guys think?

JKR is based

2021-08-24 23:35:31 +0000 UTCNever meet your heroes through social media. I think there is a lot misplaced outrage into what JKR said. I also think forming a judgment of others through the lens of a third party lends to a skewed vision. Especially when so many have ulterior motives that may be based on that third person's mental health or financial motivation.

2021-08-21 15:02:13 +0000 UTCI'm a fan of the old style as I've mentioned, but this is a really great piece of work. A great balance between the cell shading and the painted work you've tried recently. Also, on the JKR thing, it's OK to separate the art from the artist. You can like a thing a person did without liking the person. The films etc are the work of many.

2021-08-21 14:01:14 +0000 UTCIf it helps, I’m pretty sure Emma Watson herself agrees with you, Alx. Probably a lot of the actors do. I myself still dream of another HP comic from you. The first one was so amazing. I want to see the girls get invited to Fleur’s bachelorette party and learn what the French/Veela witches do for fun.

2021-08-21 08:27:11 +0000 UTCLike the pic. You don't need to agonize about it every time you post something HP-related. Fine, the author is not someone you think is great. Ike Turner was a wife beater but I still love listening to MoTown. If you're going to limit your intake of culture to people whose politics or personal life please you, then you're going to have a limited and shallow life experience.

2021-08-20 22:58:19 +0000 UTCMore believable that Hermione would do an house-elf (even Kreacher) then that Ginny would! Keep up the good work! =)

2021-08-20 22:30:56 +0000 UTCWell done. While I appreciate your efforts to improve on shading, I've always been partial to your earlier style (reads more clean to me) – this is a nice mix of the two.
