This was the close. This was the moment.
He pressed the golden metal to his lips and whispered, 'I am about to die.'"

Thanks a lot! I like the lighting too, but was worried it wouldn't make sense since he's in the pitch black Forbidden forest with only wandlight to guide him. ;] Artistic liberty, I suppose.

It's all about artistic liberty ;D You chose a great way to light the pic, even if it's not quite as strict to the actual scene as it could be.

I agree, you did a great job of capturing the moment. Also with capturing Harry at 17!!

Haha, yay! Thank you. When I was still working on this and my mother came home from work, she peered over my shoulder, and I triumphantly turned around and pointed wildly at the computer screen, "It's Harry Potter!!" but she kind of squinted and scrunched up her nose like, "Oh. It doesn't look like Harry Potter.."
lol, I'm glad it works for at least one person.

Was she thinking of Daniel Radcliff as Harry? Cause no, it doesnt look like him, but I think it does look like Harry!

And the snitch, you really did a great job with the wings if I didnt say that already, because I imagine them as being the hardest thing to have done with it.

Hooray! She probably was. :] I've got license to make him look any way I want.

Thanks again! I could just roll around in a field of Snitches right now, I'm so happy.

Of course! I would think that this will end up getting alot of recognition, especially with all the HP fans around here.

A field of snitches.. lol, thats a good one!!!!

This is awesome... I was crying at this scene (one of 2 parts where I cried)... You've really captured the feeling of that moment.. Love it

:] Thank so much. I suppose it makes sense, I was pretty emotionally distraught myself while painting it... heh..

This.
Is.
Spectacular.


I was sobbing by this part of the book.
This really brings it all back.

This is beautifully and perfectly done. ;_;

-instant fav-

Thanks a bunch! It was quite intense, I liked the emotion Harry was feeling, the realization of his impending death after being hit with the truth in Snape's memories and basically on a death march in the Forbidden Forest. I was just hoping to capture that. ;] I even intended it to be a quick sketch but got so into it that I skipped dinner...

That was the one scene that really made me truly choke up while I was reading it. It just seemed so final then and you've captured it perfectly. I'd love to see some more Deathly Hallows art if you're up for it.

clouded-ambition In reply to amy-su88 [2007-07-24 13:24:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! It was a powerful scene. And of course I'm up for it. :] Bring all your friends! I might do some of the 'next generation' from the epilogue and whatever else I can think of. There's so much wonderful art nowadays from people, every time I search up Deathly Hallows on dA, I'm hit with a great influx of pieces. Hopefully I can think of something that hasn't been done yet. Not many people have mentioned Hedwig..

No and that was a sad part as well. A picture I would love to see would be a good one of Neville killing Nagini. Neville really came into his own in this book. Keep up all your great work and I'll keep oggling it.

You're very welcome and of course I'm interested. Do whatever you want next but rest is good because neck snapping is not.

:] Thanks so much, what a nice thing to say. Just finished Tonks if you're interested [link] I'm not sure what i'll do next... lol i'm pretty tired, I might save the next one for tomorrow and take it one at a time before my neck snaps.

Ohoho! You painted it quite nicely. The glow from the Snitch and the color scheme is just great.

clouded-ambition In reply to DracoPheonus [2007-07-24 13:28:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much -- Snitch was my favourite part. Although, I didn't know if it should have the wings out or not? I kept re-combing the chapter to see if she mentions them, but decided to put them in anyway, kind of feeble and brittle; I guess I thought, like Harry, the Snitch too realized its impending doom. ;]

Btw, would you say this is in the wrong category? Is it more of a painting than a drawing? I will never know the difference with digital art.

DracoPheonus In reply to clouded-ambition [2007-07-24 17:49:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I'd say it was a painting.

yay! I am glad you finished before looking at this, I wouldn't want to spoil anything Did you like it?

Randomnobody In reply to clouded-ambition [2007-07-24 18:05:07 +0000 UTC]

i didn't even go on the internet until i finished the book, i was very afraid of spoilers ^_^

i did like the book, it wasn't my favorite (i will always love GoF the best) but i think the ending was very fitting. i'm so sad snape and dobby died tho! i liked them both, but i'm glad snape was good in the end.

clouded-ambition In reply to Randomnobody [2007-07-24 19:48:22 +0000 UTC]

same, i completely disconnected from the outside world for that Saturday, lol.

I never really considered Snape a character that I...y'know, liked. [In the movies though, he was very well played and I quite enjoyed him then] But with all the backstory with Lily, I really have a new appreciation for him.

Dobby's death was the only time that I really actually sobbed. Other times I just teared up a little bit, but it was just so unfair that innocent, bumbling yet helpful Dobby died.
