Description Horace with his beloved pineapple...
About the pineapple - it's a bowl; an attempt to do some wizard advertising.
I love this character. The lavishness and decadence of him was a blast to work with.

Wow. This is EXACTLY what I pictured him to look like!
Although, I think there was a picture of him in the 6th book. (= I love your HP artwork, and ~shley77 's too. Great stuff!

He makes me giggle, him and his pinapple bowl :: i love his hat and that fountain in the background! I only noticed the fountain after i flicked back up to it for a second look, but I think thats my favourite part of the pic. Not that the rest of it isn't brillinat! You are a very talented guy! *is jealous*

DragonScholar [2006-02-16 01:25:34 +0000 UTC]

Nicely done. He doesn't have the friendly feeling i'd expect, but the quality of the work is excellent, and I think his physical inteprretation is good.

Rebehm [2005-08-06 15:04:04 +0000 UTC]

This is lovely! Slughorn's expression is kinda cute, like he's suprised to photographed. The color balance and the lighting give this piece a richness that is rare in Harry Potter artwork. It is beautifully rendered.

That's the first pic of Horace I see. Must say I imagine him completely different. Still I like your work. Hmmm, he looks a bit like Zagล‚oba

Wow, beautiful job! This picture is so realistic! Everything that is in motion, like the potion, looks like it really would be moving if we weren't looking at a picture, and it's wonderfully done. I love it.

I came here via *Mieronna ยดs livejournal and she was right, this is definately one of the best Slughorn pictures Iยดve seen so far.
Amazing background and great use of colours, I love it.

I'm torn about Slughorn, i don't hate him but i don't really like him either.

aneesah [2005-08-04 07:02:13 +0000 UTC]

Hah, and I despise this character. I like your style and backgrounds, as always, and I think the moustache is spot on. The face isn't quite how I imagined him (the one in my head sorta has smaller eyes), but I still like this painting.

Beeeb In reply to aneesah [2005-08-04 22:21:59 +0000 UTC]

The proportions of his face are all off. Anatomy isn't my strength But I'm glad you like it!
