I've been wanting to do a new Hogwarts Founders picture for quite a while but could not resolve what I wanted to do. I settled on a series of stained glass windows of sorts with each of the founders holding their respective artifacts.
Above them, I have included the Latin phrases I used for my scholarly Hogwarts Ts [link]
Here are the translations:
Honoris Causa: For the Sake of Honor
Absit Invidia: Let Ill Will Be Absent
Sapienti Sat: Enough for the Wise
Pro Se: For Oneself.
As a note, Rowena Ravenclaw's pose is based off of this Sargent painting: [link]
Ever since I saw the painting, I've wanted to depict Rowena Ravenclaw in a similar fashion albeit less menacing.
Enjoy!

oh Mikey my dear friend, I was wondering when you were going to do more Harry Potter stuff scarcely an hour ago! Beauty is in the image, naturally, the coloring is amazing (far better than my own bright colors, I don't think they'd suit this much), the drawing is beautiful.... *claps* Nothing less than greatness from you! You really are amazing, Mikey. AND stunningly handsome too! Yay, flattery!

Ohhh, this is DEFINITELY your best founders piece to date! I really love the concept, and you've executed it beautifully! I love the texture in the background, and I really love Gryphdor's fur cloak thing and Ravenclaw's clothes especially. Beautiful job!

OMG BOOOCH this is AWFUL! If you have any sense of decency you would off yourself right now!!!!! Seriously, just slit your wrists or something. Your art work is not only awful, but it is an offense against the Lord! Everything about you is wretched and miserable! Every time I think about you I shake my hands to the heavens and curse God! UGGGGGGGGHHHHH!

Wow, I'm really sorry I've offended you. I wish you nothing but the world's greatest joys in your life.

I suppose I was simply bending to your wishes! I am happy that you are enjoying my most recent foray into Harry Potter. And between you and me (and I guess whoever else reads this comment) the colors were much brighter until I put a layer of color and a texture over the original ;)

lol. we could totally pass divination, you and me. Trelawney would love us. I've gotten better at giving texture and making stuff have a slightly more realistic effect, mostly thanks to the training I got using your pictures. Thanks so much :D

I'm living with false hope
And my eyes just want to see a ray of light
I'm gonna find it in my fairy tale...
