Description
Finally got enough of a break in the schedule to finish up this sketch with some colors. This scene is hopefully pretty identifiable to anyone who read The Deathly Hallows, but for everyone else, Harry here is looking down through the ice to a submerged sword. Kind of an interesting visual challenge; I don't feel it works 100%, but I'm happy with it for the moment.

edit: reworked it a bit to really get a sense of looking through the ice. lost some of the warmth on the face, but I think its an improvement in terms of storytelling.

edit 2: reworked it again, used an ice texture and decided I couldn't live without the warmer, clear face.

edit 3: More tinkering, I really need to make up my mind.

edit 4: Some color and value adjustments
