Wowee gorgeous.

He actually looks a lot like my former Master...Except my former Master had dark brown hair and brown eyes. <_<;

Kind of creepy, but amazing all the same.

And prettttty snake. *Resists urge to stroke it, as it looks like it would bite her arm off*

Thank you. Once a ferret, always one. He's just a grown, rich, and powerful rodent who can summon snakes. But beware, the unfortunates, who dare mention certain rodents in his presence, poor souls.

the highlights in the picture are amazing...i still haven't quite figured out how everyone gets OpenCanvas and stuff like that to look like pencil but it is really cool!

Thanks, ShortFencer. By the way, hope this can help you figure out my technique: [link] . It's a tutorial for this pic. The highlights are done with the half-transparent "add" layer. You can especially see that effect on the different snake stages. The pencil effect, well, it's a lot of 1-2 pix brush strokes on a large canvas. If I didn't have my graphics tablet, it would take me twice as long.

No problem about the tutorial. I thought someone might be interested to see how I draw one of these. It does take a lot of time to finish a pic. Get ready for 7-8 hours of digital painting if you ever feel adventurous enough to try one.

I can relate. Need more sleep too, but no way it's happening. My girlfriend usually yells at me to get to bed on Sunday nights when I stay up till 3AM drawing the comic. But, noo, I am stubborn.

Thanks. He probably should've been, but my reference picture for the skin color/lighting was a bit tan. There are always things to improve on I guess. I'll keep that in mind for the next drawing.

Moondarri [2004-11-25 17:16:55 +0000 UTC]

How intriguing. I'm loving the snake with the skull. Draco definitely looks like Lucius - It's the long hair that does it. But he still has a childish side to him Lucius doesn't have. Lucius tends to look infinitely more arrogant, composed and downright evil. I like this because even though Draco is v. Sytherin-y and superior-looking he still has a bit of childishness still in him. I love the way is hair falls so gracefull on his shoulder, though I'm not sure why but it doesn't look altogether attatched to his head - a little out of place.

firefly-wp In reply to Moondarri [2004-11-28 03:04:10 +0000 UTC]

I went a bit crazy with an outline of the hair. Oops. Would be one thing to remember not to do for the next portrait, otherwise they'd all look like they wear wigs.

Thank you for looking and for the lovely comment!

The skull snake just sounded something he'd be able to create -- a variation of a dark mark I suppose.

Well, being a natural blonde myself I can personally say that blondes don't have more fun. Looks great on him though.

Being a bleached blonde with perfectly natural dark (but still blonde) roots, I have to second that thought after much consideration.
