Description
(2006) 9"x12" Pencil on PaperAnother Lucius drawing from GOF. This one was interesting to do, because I got to do some costume research. I had first thought that Lucius in the graveyard scene was wearing some kind of cassock with a cloak over it, when in fact it turned out the whole thing is one single-piece caped robe. - Very helpful if the Dark Lord calls you and you have little time to get all kitted out in evil-garb.
The only bit I made up is the design on the large pendant he wears in the graveyard scene, because the reference photo just didn't give up the secret. So I went ahead and chose the Sigil Dei Aemeth. It's a sigil that Dr. John Dee, court magus to Queen Elizabeth I, received during a scrying session. It seemed appropriate for a powerful wizard like Lucius.
Oh yeah, and I dabbled in some background - am still in shock over that.

Thank you! I still haven't figured out to my satisfaction what it really looks like. But I can live with my interpretation for now.

Thank you! I am still amazed how the velvet trim came out...

Awsome! Too bad my computer won't let me fave this, could you respond so I can do it later?

Sure thing! Thanks for letting me know you like it so much!

Very nicely done. It reminds me that even evil villains can look good. Just take a good look at Darth Vader, as the baddest bad guy in Star Wars, or the dreaded Lord Sauron in Lord Of The Rings
I think I need to get back to sketching again. It's been a while since I've done a good sketch. I usually sketch in ballpoint pen more than pencils so it is more of a challenge for me.
Nice work.....keep it up

Thank you! And yes, evil bastards with a sense of style are a pretty alluring lot!

I have to admit, I have a sneaking admiration for the smooth, confident evil bastards.
You know like Vader, Lucius, Dracula (Gary Oldman in Coppola's version...the creepiest Dracula ever), the one who must not be named..... and countless other smooth badies in books, TV and movies. They could be good, but they choose to be bad...

Oh yes, love that Dracula movie! Oldman was a brilliant incarnation of the Count!
π: 0 β©: 1
I've seen many dracula movies, including the originals with Bela Legosi, veteran actors Christopher Lee and others. Gary Oldman came up with the creepiest, scariest, most bizarre, and yet.....stylish Dracula.
It was VERY unusual for the time (1800s) to have rose colored sunglasses. Yet gary looked cool wearing those custom suits, both in the city, and when he was in Transylvania. It was the one Dracula movie that really focused on the tragic love story of Dracul and his bride elizabetha.....
I bet it would be an interesting challenge to you, if you could draw a portrait of Gary Oldman as the handsome Count Dracula in his best clothes. Maybe someday you could try it out...
Just let me know, so that I can see the results....

I guess I'd have to pick the moment when he fixes his gaze on Mina across the street and murmurs: "See me now..." So powerful!

Hmmm, that sounds like a recipe for a great peice of art. A powerful emotional moment in time in the movie. Do you think you can capture the essence and the emotion of that scene on paper?
I think there is much magic and power in your hands and pencils. Let that magic come from deep within yourself, and let yourself go......be so focused on the scene, that every detail, every curve, every shadow and light is captured to the best of your ability. Be so totally focused, that nothing else exists at that moment except for you and that scene.....
Be so tuned into it, that people can feel and sense the emotions coming from that gaze....
Ahh, I can see it now.........

Hmmm, the way you describe it - it feels really good. Man, and I can see myself going nuts over all the little ringlets in his hair. Malfoy's mane will be a walk in the park in comparison... But the textures of the charcoal silk of the suit, the tinted glasses, the top-hat... Yummers!

Sounds to me like an excellent challenge for your great pencil skills. I can't wait to see what you can come up with!
I think the dressed up scene with Gary Oldman, was the best he ever looked in ANY of his movies. I just wish I was as good looking as he is. Even though he played a creepy dracula in the castle, he appeared like a charming gentleman to the city folks.

Okay, it's a deal! I have one drawing and a commish before I'll get to it, but should be able to give it a shot in October.

Your on! Just let me know sometime in October..... hmmm, I wonder what pencil sketches I can do in the meantime?

Impressive drawing! Beautiful shading, and I love the effect of it on the tinted paper. ^__^ Lucius is nice stuff.... I also love how you didn't feel the need to overwhelm us with details in the background. His face is the most detailed, and therefore draws the eye right to it. Nice artistic decision.

Thank you very much! To focus on his expression was exactly the intention. Glad to hear it came through.

omgosh!
amazing.. truly amazing. Perfect drawn.
I dont understand how people can draw as good as you do!
keep it up!

I'm literally dying to make these robes on a doll!!! I have three Lucius commissions to do in a row 
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL! Hope it's not too much of a good thing... But he is just too perfect! I can understand why you have so many commish!

I'm not sure there is such a thing as too much Lucius... we really need to find a way to raise that money to make that Lucius movie 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, he seems to really love the get-up - well I s'pose he pretty much designed it as they wanted to have him in a boring pinstripe suit with short grey hair (ugh!).

Gees I can't imagine Lucius that way - his name is LUCIUS for merlin's sake, he couldn't be anything but a flamboyant pimp!!
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh, I've always loved the way he looks in this pic, ever since I first saw it, back when GoF was coming out in theaters. I like the way you drew him, it does justice to the original pic. Great job!

Thanks very much! I really wanted to figure out how that costume worked...

Wow! This is incredible. I love all the details. Lucius...ah...

Beautiful work! I was just running a 'lucius' search, being a rabid Isaacs/Malfoy fan meself and your work stood out among the thumbnails I was ogling over perusing. I'm busy working out the rust in my own art skills and I've got practice ahead if I'm to draw as well as this! Keep it up! I'll be watching you, if that's OK.

I sure will. He'll likely keep undergoing change as I get into the swing of drawing, but I have plans for him. Later, of course, I'll do character sheets for the others so he won't always be solo. That would get old fast, I think.

Thank you! Yes, Lucius is something else, isn't he?! Love your humorous take on him and hope you draw more!

Cool....again....looks just like Jason Isaacs, he is sooo hot! I love it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! And yes, Jason is the perfect Lucius!

Yep....have you seen the Patriot!!!!!!!!!!????????
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah! After Lucius that's my second favorite role for him. So cold, so ambitious, so angry!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah! When I saw the 2nd HP movie I was like "OMFG, is that the guy in the Patriot?!"
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh yes, I had to see it more than once, too.
π: 0 β©: 0
you did a great work! why a lot of research too...
but who is lucius?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you have come across the Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling about a boy wizard, you might know him (though I know her characters have been given different names by translators of her books). Lucius Malfoy is an evil wizard and father to Draco Malfoy, a bully and generally very unpleasant boy in Harry Potter's year at school.
In the movies based on the books he is played by Jason Isaacs, who mananged to turn a rather ho-hum character into a fabulously compelling and sexy one. (If I may say so...)

Oh, I've seen the movies... Now all is clear. Honestly I'm not so fond of HP

No problem. And hey, not everyone ought to be a rabid Potter fan. That would just be too crazy!

Du hast eine super Art in zu zeichnen. Und ich meine den Stoff seiner Roben und die Weichheit seiner Haare zu 'sehen'.
Es ist eine Schande, das Lucius' schΓΆnen Haare durch diese Kapuze so platt runter fallen. Wobei, sogar das sah sexy aus.
*Solange er nicht den Versuch wagt, Voldy deswegen 'ne Backpfeife zu geben, ist ja alles so halbwegs okay.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Lach!
Ich denke schon, dass ihn die bloeden Kapuzen aergern. Die Art, wie es ihm nichts ausmacht, dass seine Haarspitzen laenger als die Nackenbedeckung sind (was ihn natuerlich sofort indenifizierbar macht und die ganze Maskerade ziemlich unnoetig) ist fuer mich ein Zeichen von passiv-aggressivem Widerstand.
Und dann hat er im Film den ganzen Zinnober ja auch sofort bei der ersten sich bietenden Gelegenheit abgenommen (und sah dann so suess strubbelig aus...)
Vielleich fanasiert er ja darueber seinem Meister das Zeug eines Tages vor die Fuesse zu schmeissen.

ein Zeichen von passiv-aggressivem Widerstand. <--- Ich weiss nicht, was ich wieder eingenommen habe, aber mir fiel dazu nur ein, solange er nicht Voldys Zorn dadurch auf sich zieht, sobald er eine Gewerkschaft erΓΆffnet, oder Weihnachtsgeld haben will.
Aber mal ehrlich, ich habe das GefΓΌhl, als wenn Lucius nicht so froh ΓΌber Voldys RΓΌckkehr ist. Als wΓ€re ihm der politische Weg, seine Pur-BlΓΌter-Rechte durchzukriegen, angenehmer als irgendwelche Eltern und deren Kinder zu meucheln.
Zu dem sΓΌss, strubbeligem kann ich nur sagen, das gab ihm so was leicht wildes. Wo wir wieder bei dem lΓΆwenhaften an ihm wΓ€ren.
(Bevor ich damals CoS gesehen hatte, hatte ich ein englishes Interview gelesen, da erzΓ€hlte Isaacs *
Mit anderen Worten ich finde ihn einfach super, in dieser Lucius-Rolle. Gehabe und Aussehen. Molto marveloso.
P.S.: Zu dem Pendant, ich habe irgendwo ein Still von ihm gesehen, da war es besser zu sehen. Wenn ich mich recht entsinne, war es ein Totenkopf von dem acht Linien strahlenfΓΆrmig abgingen.
So...

Ohgott! Hast Du noch ein Link fuer das Still! (Haben will!!!)
Ueber Deinen Kommentar musste ich echt lachen - eine Todesser Gewerkschaft. Das kann ich mir so richtig gut vorstellen:
- Keine Ueberfaelle auf Muggel an Wochenenden und Hexensabbaths
- Mindestens drei Verwarnungen bevor Voldi jemand mit dem Cruciatus belegen darf
- Koerperteile fuer magische Zwecke duerfen nur nach entsprechender Verguetung eingefordert werden (Geld fuer Wurmschwanz!)
- Ploetzlich einberufene Mitternachtstreffen auf Friedhoefen muessen unter Ueberstundenregelung abgegolten werden
Voldemort wuerde den Koller kriegen!
Aber sonst stimme ich voll zu. Lucius kann so happy nicht sein, und wir haben ja inzwischen gesehen wie fuer die Malfoys alles in Traenen endet...
