Description Biggest sidetrack, had to finish this before I can start my KFM Dueling Challenge stuff.

Charlie Weasley, for those who only seen the movie so far, he is the less know member of the Weasley family (coz he is in Romania almost all the time). This is how I imagine he should be. I know he's not exactly match the description in GoF, but I can't picture someone from the handsome Weasley family actually 'short'.

The dragons are huge mission. I had never draw them before, had to pause this for a whole week and did some research before I was able to continue.

Yes, she is Norbetta (was that how you spell the name? My brother had the book at the moment so I can't exactly check..), aka Nobert. She just had her first baby. Again she wasn't exactly match what's in the book, either.

And don't evan ask me how he managed to hold the baby with all the spike on its back.

Now, back to my KFM Dueling Challenge...

OMG this reminds me SO MUCH of my old style- in a good way! i love the affectionate look on charlie's face- so funny next to this dragon! You've done a really great job with details- like charlie's scar and the scales. you obviously have a really good intuition for composition- the whole thing looks great! i <3 this picture so badly- i'm SO SORRY it took me a long time to get around to your gallery!

Thank you for dropping by commenting on this.
This is my favourite piece to date. I did put a bit of effort on emphasizing Charlie's scare as Ms Rowling described them in great details in GoF. As for the dragons, I must glad they turned out all right since it was the first time I do dragons!

The drawing is now framed and hanging in my study room. My most satisfying work to date.

I think Charlie (and the twins) are short in comparison to Bill, Percy and Ron. But in book 7, when everyone Polyjuices Harry, the twins shrink, so it's my belief that he's actually a perfect height.

And I love your depiction of him here.

Such a tender moment. Of course he can hold the baby. The spikes don't harden until later (that's my interpretation anyway--you have to hold the baby).

Okay, I will take that. Reasonable enough for me.

This is amazing, tank! I think you've got Charlie spot on. I love the way he is looking at 'Norbetta' with such adoration. The baby dragon is lovely, bless it.

Did I?

I thought he was meant to be 'short'. Well, compare to Ron and Bill ....

lubyelfears In reply to tankgirly [2007-09-18 12:29:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, to my mind he looks grrrrreat!

That's what I thought as well.
There shouldn't be any ugly one in the Weasleys.
