My HP_artproject entry.

[tripperfunster]

OMG I am SO over this drawing! It took forever, and it's not even porntastic!

Thanks to the gals over at Artbeta for their help!




ETA: Oops! I should have mentioned that it is from Order of the Phoenix, chapter: The lost Prophecy.

" 'You may perhaps have wondered why I never chose you as a prefect? I must confess ... that I rather thought ... you had enough responsibility to be going on with.'

Harry looked up at him and saw a tear trickling down Dumbledore's face into his long silver beard."

Thank you! Yes, this one just about keeeled me! I am a very impatient person.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Holy cow! Is that ever amazing or what?! Which chapter and which book is this for?

[kamion.livejournal.com]

think it's "between the lines", no particulairy chapter or book, but an overall impression how DD must have felt when alone and recalling all what happened in his century long life.

[euclase.livejournal.com]

This is going to be my first memory on euclase. Just so you know.

His hand is touching his beard. That's it. It's done. Breathtaking.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! <3 And thanks so much for the recc! *hearts you*

[kerosinkanister.livejournal.com]

The details are great, especially the little things like the too-long nails.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ugh, aren't they creepy? I used my hubby's hand as a model, but HIS NAILS ARE NOT GROSS LIKE THAT! :D But yeah, for some reason, old wizard = long nails. I dunno why.

[1scout.livejournal.com]

I'm sitting here stunned!
I don't think I've ever seen anything more amazing!
His hand, oh my goodness, it's...wow.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon! I love drawing hands. I don't think you will ever hear any other artist say that. Not that I find them easy, mind you, but they just add so much to a picture. Thanks for the kind words!

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

That is...wow, so, so gorgeous. I think I need to cry over that scene all over again. Oh my god.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! The only thing that made me cry was DD's death. (well, the funeral, not the death itself.)

Thanks for looking!

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

That's gorgeous. I...wow.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! <3

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

Oh tripp, I know there's no porn value, but srsly, this has to be one of the most stunning things you've ever done. The depth of emotion in his eyes alone...my god. We'll skip the 'good haar' comment and get right to the wrinkles--they look so...right where they should be, and his hand is such a realistic gesture--what some people do when they're trying to hold themselves together. Are you coloring this? Not that you need to.

Wow.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks babe! Nope, no colour on this one. I don't have another WEEK to dedicate to one drawing that doesn't involve a peen. ;^D

It's big, too, (14x17) so it really would take a long time!

[whatthefuckbenj.livejournal.com]

This really leaves me speechless! Wonderful drawing, hon!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm happy with how this one turned out. (and that it's done!!)

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

WOW. That's it; Just WOW.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (I have much love for your icon!<3)

[(Anonymous)]

This is one of the finest piece you've ever drawn, and that I've ever seen on my flist. So, so gorgeous. I'm stunned.

(I'm eryslash, but *cough cough* my account isn't exactly, uh, 18. But I had to leave feedback on this, because, guh)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, at least you're not breaking the law for something PRONY! :D One of the few that are actually rated G!

Thanks for the kind words!

[majmunka.livejournal.com]

OMG, it's stunning. I'm speechless.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

[tourmaline1973.livejournal.com]

WOW. That's completely fantastic & amazing.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Old people are so much more interesting to draw. (yet muuuch less sexy ...)

[drcjsnider.livejournal.com]

wow! seriously wonderful... btw, i continually get comments about the crayon dumbledore you did that i have hanging in my office at school :)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

That is so cool that it's hanging in a school! (and wrong, somehow, because it's mine! :D )

Are you a teacher? OR principal? I think you told me this already, but I have shit for brains. Okay...now I'm thinking guidance councillor. yes?

[juniperus.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous, moving, and....oh, hell, just fucking gorgeous!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

*g* Thank you!

[fiere.livejournal.com]

Eeee, I was wondering if that's what this was for when I saw it on artbeta! (Didn't comment because I had no idea what to say other than assdkjksn, heh.) This is amazing amazing amazing.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have the same problem with art beta. I often can see that something is off, but I have trouble articulating what it is, or, conversely, I just think, wow. That's way better than what I could do, so I probably shouldnt' say anything at all. :D

[emila-wan.livejournal.com]

His skin just GLOWS. Amazing work.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

His skin just GLOWS. *g* my secret? RADIOACTIVE PENCILS! :D

Thank you!

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

Here via euclase...That is AMAZING. Just--the emotion conveyed in it is incredible.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Isn't euclase a great pimp? :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes! MOAR traditional!! We are a dying breed! and I suck at digital artz!!

Thanks for the lovely feedback! <3

[lapetite-kiki.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! That's awesome!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[corbye.livejournal.com]

The best, most human Dumbledore I've ever seen. As you've drawn him, the things he's done, the choices he's made, the consequences he's lived with are reflected in that face.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It is so gratifying, as an artist, when someone can look at something that I've drawn, and feel that there is a story behind the art. (well, duh, of course there's a story, JKR wrote it), but that you can see INTO that, via a portrait. Thank you!

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

cool! amazing, and I don't normally even care about Harry Potter!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

*gasp* How can you NOT care about Harry Potter? *wink*

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

That's gonna look AWESOME :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Have you decided what you're going to be drawing yet? Picking the scene was as hard as picking up the pencil!

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

This is almost ridiculously awesome. Wrinkles! Liver spots! THE HAIR! Man, the details ♥♥♥.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

*g* Thank you very much! Are you doing a scene for the project?

[winnett.livejournal.com]

Wow. That is excellent! So many levels of excellent!!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! <3
