I didn't forget how to draw!

Man alive, I feel like I've had NO time for artz lately. :( I took my schtuff with me to Florida, but nothing really came of it.

I started this pic before I left, and just finished it last night. It's my final contribution to the hp_artproject. Have I mentioned yet what a cool project that is? And how thrilled and honoured I am to be a part of it?

Anyhoo, since I'm much better at portraits and um ... not so much better at action scenes, here is a portrait from book 5. I forget the name of the chapter I was assigned, but basically NOTHING happens in it. Harry is on trial for using under aged magic (when repelling the dementors in Little Winging) and this is his first introduction to Umbridge.
It turned out okay, but sadly, the pic is almost as boring as the chapter.

I'll tidy it up and give it quotes and a border, but this is the basic 'meat' (if you'll excuse the expression) of the pic. The photo was a bit washed out due to over lighting, and I really had to crank the contrast just so you could see anything. I'll take a much better photo for the actual submission, plus highlight the little bow in her hair.




I hope to have some more art to post soon. I have a Snarry sketch that's half done, and the next Iceman Cometh to finishing inking and colour.

Oh, she's really perfect. I keep expecting that toad-like mouth to snap open and grab a passing fly. This is probably the best non-cartoonish Umbridge I've seen. She looks like a real person that I can see teaching DADA to students without letting them use their wands. Great job!

Thank you hon!

It still needs a bit of ... something. I'm thinking a dark background and a bit more contrast in the colour.
