Description
"Azkaban is the wizard prison in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. The place is guarded by the Dementors, working under the British Ministry of Magic. Azkaban has a reputation of evil and fear: the large presence of Dementors renders the inmates incapable of happiness and forces them to relive their worst memories, as they become gradually helpless and often severely insane."Source: [link]
It's been a while - actually my first manipulation in four months. So, this is how I've always imagined the prison of Azkaban. I haven't read the whole Harry Potter series though, so it may be a bit different compared to the actual description. I hope you like it any way...

I thought Azkaban was a single triangular tower. You seem to have drawn a romanticised Alcatraz.

That's the movie. In the book they never specify but the name DOES come from "Alcatraz" so I think the reference is valid.
(Honestly, the straight lines of the movie Azkaban never seemed to matvh the otherwise curvy wizarding world.)

Point taken, but there is the fact that Hogwarts wasn't curvy or crooked itself, nor is it even a proper castle. See, conical spires on top of castle towers are a terrible idea, not only because the towers thus can't hold as many archer/ballista defenders as with a flat turret, but the spire could be smashed open, and the castle broken into, that way.

Well, it was not built to be a battlefield. But I'd argue the "how it is easier to break into" part. Clearly, Draco could operate that wardrobe without any connection to the architecture of the spires. Sirius Black also got in twice in one book, and neither did he use the spires. Getting OUT of Hogwarts, however....

I love Harry Potter! Brilliant and by looking at this I was like, "This is Azkaban. Wowzers that's awesome." Good job

I am an avid Harry Potter fan, and I must admit I never gave much thought to what Azkaban looked like before. This is my new mental image of it. Simply amazing.

I pretty much second this. Well done.

Hmm I never imagined to be so catle-ish, but I guess it suits the books -considering Hogwarts is pretty much a giant castle, so why not Azkaban too.
The rest (the darkness, middle of the wild ocean, evil birds, all that stuff) is pretty much exactly like I imagined

I've always wondered how cold-hearted it is to send someone to that place... probably just to contain the dementors, brrr...

I agree. I still remember how the description of that place used to give me shivers when I was reading the book for the first time.

I guess the ministry's not including so many of the most nice people really...

It seems to me like you made the initial building look similar to Hogwarts, which is kind of creepy and ominous at the same time. I love the dark tones here, the realistic look of the water, the skull in the foreground and the crow holding the amulet-thing.

Yeah, maybe so...

This is just amazing. I never really thought in depth about what Azkaban looked like, but this is definitely how I'll remember it now

Thank you so much!

No problem
Its gorgeous, in a creepy, melancholic kind've way. Also, the diggin' the dragon/griffin/whatever they are head things. Stroke of genius!

That is downright amazing. Keep it up!

The moment I saw the title and once I fully viewed it, I realized that with your talent, you are able to make imaginations materialize.

Very nice! I could totally see Azkaban in this! Good job! Everything looked so natural! Amazing! I think you might have a new fan.

It looks fucking awesome. That bird with the lantern is a wonderful touch, it reminds me of an indentured servant, or something.
