My Submission to the HP Art Project.
I was assigned Chapter 27, The Centaur and the Sneak from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
The scene taking place here (in case you couldn't tell) is right after Umbridge discovers Dumbledore's Army and she has brought Marietta Edgecombe and Harry Potter to Dumbledore's Office. Corneilius Fudge looks on maliciously while Percy Weasley feverishly takes notes and Dawlish and Kingsley take watch (although Kingsley's memory charming Marietta for Dumbledore). I don't know if it happens in the books, but the portraits on the back wall are all sneering and pulling mean faces at Umbridge. If you look closely you'll see a (very vague) portrait of JK Rowling herself, as well as Ethan Hawksmoor's ancestor Hecate Hawksmoor who once served as Headmistress to the school.
I hope you all enjoy!

Wow it looks so amazing!
and all the details are fantastic and entretaining to look at!
I specially like the angry/disturbed portrait making faces at Fudge and Umbitc..Umbridge.

and... am i wrong about this *not that it matters... since probably it can't be changed*
but... wasn't Marietta's haircolor strawberry blonde according to the books?


anyway fantastic job!
and good luck with the project!
:iconblackrosebandkitsune:
.... me thinks you put in Rowena Ravenclaw in the portraits.... well, either that or Ethan's ancestor.

Yeah its the latter. xD

They say that not everything lasts forever. I say that this is wrong. There is one thing that always keeps and keeps. Styrofoam.

Thanks so much! And you're 100% right about Marietta's hair color! I went back into the books and it says "reddish-blonde." Haha I've read that book at least three times and I guess I overlooked it! I always pictured her with auburn hair. Good catch!
:iconyazzydream:
Oh My GOD! It's terrific! The colors are exceptional! If I were to be honest (I'm sorry but :X) the line work was so wonderful I was worried about whether the coloring would do it justice. Ehehe... ^^; *shamefaced* It was terribly rude of me to think so, but I had to fess up because this has blown me away! WOW! Seriously! WOW! :w00t:

It's a lovely day out, and here I am inside my darkened room on deviantart.

I can't use open canvas for shit (score one for awesome vocabulary), so this is rather Godly. I love the textures and colours!

Smashing job old chap!
:iconmadcarrot:
Oh wow - this is a fantastic work. So many characters and expressions in the one image, I love Harry's long-suffering expression, and how sanctimonious Percy is in the background. Excellent work. :D

Haha that wasn't rude at all and I'm glad to have proved you wrong. And thanks for the fave!
:iconmikeybooch:
Why thank you good madam! Supurlative vocabulary or not, your comments are most welcome.

Excellent. The blond portrait kinda looks like JK Rowling. How funny if they did use a pic of her for one of the headmasters.

Thank you! And the blonde portrait is supposed to be JK Rowling. I'm happy I could capture her likeness enough to be recognizable.
