Description Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin. I wish there was more about them in canon. I'd like to get to know Godric's dark side, Salazar's light side and so on.

By the way, does anybody think that the Sorting Hat is in fact Gryffindor's horcrux? That thing is freaking alive!

Slytherin reminds me of Rasputin for some reason.

Like others have said, kudos for making them look era-appropriate. I suppose Renaissance and Victorian attire is more widely known but it's still a pet peeve to see. Clothing aside, very well done!

Absolutely gorgeous! When I saw it I immediately thought: Yes, that's how they must have looked like!
I'd like to believe that Salazar's light side was Helga, but that's just what I'd like to believe And that Godric is a bit narrow-minded and prejudice...

I agree about Godric. I also think that the concept that three of the founders were always noble and courageous and Slytherin was the root of all evil is a bit naive I think they all had their dark sides. I don't know about Helga and Salazar, but that's actually not a bad idea at all...

There are no such people, everyone has a dark side of some sort

Ohhh, I love this! Especially your designs for Helga and Rowena. I imagine the boys slightly differently, but they still look awesome here

Headdresses! I bow to thee! On all the Founders depictions i have seen they are allways wearing they're hair loose and showing cleavage - lovely to see something historically accurate!

Yeah, I know. I cringe every time I see someone picturing Ravenclaw in a 16th century corset or Hufflepuff in a victorian skirt

Of course, those can be pretty good pictures despide the misplaced clothing.

Shure. I just hold eternal love to whoever stick to the fact that they lived around year 1000!
Oh, and cookies and cupcakes to you for not making slytherin attractive... I mean I'm shure he was decent.. once.. a long time ago..

Ravenclaw looks exactly like I pictured her. The sorting hat has brains in it like the brains that attacked Ron in the ministry in the fifth book

I like how you designed Helga. She reminds me of Catherine of Aragon. All in all, it was an amazing art piece! Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks, I don't know why so many people tend to draw them in fancy Tudorian costumes. It's 10th century!

Exactly!  (I really want to cosplay Rowena in full 10th c Byzantine, because why not?  Wizarding world is all sorts of different.)

I think 10th century Byzantine would suit her very well!
