Description
Vitious Family--Roberto Vargas-Vitious, Loretta Caroline (Vitious), Aurelius Marlon Vitious, & Columbia Kempley Vitious; Artwork & Designs(c) *MikachuAttackHarry Potter Franchise (c) J.K.Rowling
---
After spending the day looking through old family portraits and photos (I'm talking like 1800's era), I really wanted to draw a family portrait of the Vitious family (my FC family for the HP series).
I suppose this portrait was taken during one of the last times the Vitious family was all together (as the parents work for the Department of International Magical Cooperation in England's Ministry of Magic, so they're often traveling.
I figure, because of their extreme wealth, that they would often dress in Victorian-esque clothing (I also figure wizards and such in the HP universe are dressed in old styled clothing anyway)--so I tried to combine a bit of historically accurate Victorian clothing with a touch of original "wizard"-ish appeal.
OTL
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Roberto Vargas-Vitious, the father, is half Spanish (his mother) and half English (his father). His wife, Loretta, is full English. Their two children, Aurelius Marlon Vitious (around 10-11 years old here), and Columbia Kempley Vitious (around 5-6 years old here).
I guess this would have been taken before Aurelius went off to Hogwarts, and before he went ape shit evil trolol
Still dunno if I want to paint this digitally or if I want to go my usual route and ink by hand, then color digitally.
Thoughts?

Daddy looks so handsome and Kempo looks so adorable.
Aurelius looks dweeby to me. So much even, it makes me want to punch him. ><
But I love the clothes! ;A;
I would like to see it coloured, though I really like it how it is now too. ><

Good lord, you really nailed the 1800s noble dress code in this one! I don't know why, but I get the feeling that you enjoying drawing those elaborate vests, laces, and dresses. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like you do.
I think it'd be cool if you colored this, especially if you threw on an overlay of that grimy, yellowish grey tint that old photos have. Like this: [link] But that might ruin it in the end. >_<
Arrugh!! Do whatever you think is best, Iβm sure itβll come out fine in the end.

Wow, thanks so much! And yes, I LOVE Victorian fashion/culture, and I love drawing it just as much. I really love super detailed things, ruffles, collars, lace, etc. I'm glad that translates in my sketches
YES. I was thinking that too--I'll do that in photoshop though, instead of using watercolors...because I've messed up doing that before hahaha.
Do you think I should include a frame around it or would that be too gaudy? :U

VITIOUS FAMBLY TWEE. They look like such an interesting line; I have to get on reading about them posthaste. =w=9 Lovelovelove the Victorian clothing headcanon. Their solemn expressions are just to die for. β₯
I think hand inking would give it a nice old-fashioned look, but that's just me; whichever makes it easier to color, in the end. x'D

TROLOL Thank you so much ; 3; I really do need to post more about them.
I wanted to make it as "accurate" as possible since I'm the most anal person, ever, and I noticed that almost ALL old photos have no one smiling (since I guess photos were expensive back then, and it was a serious business). |D
I think so too. :3 I might even watercolor this if I'm not lazy haha
