Description
Harry Potter fandom: Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry - my *other* favorite adult character. To be perfectly honest, I think I like them all...My original premise was, "What would Dumbledore be like if he came to visit a Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention?"
This goofy thing is my answer. He is Well-Equipped with magically-powered gadgets, canvas tote bag, MP3 player and convention badge. And oh yes, let's not forget the epitome of sci-fi geekiness, the twirlibob on top of his hat.
This was enormous fun to color. Took about six hours. I used pen and ink, watercolor and colored pencil.

This is really funny. Reminds me of Santa-Claus that's what you get when you live in the winter wonderland. I love the purple color fits perfectly

Thank you! I had a lot of fun playing with the effect of "bluey-iridescence," which is probably my favorite color effect of all time.

Thanks!
I figure than when he's not worrying about the fall of the wizarding world, "amused" or perhaps "bemused" is his default state.

This is hilarious and fantastic and just plain perfect!

That looks great. I think the combination of blues and golds looks good. It's a good idea to make the iPod (is it an iPod?) red because it helps balance out the other multicolored items floating to the left.

Thanks!
LOL - the red thingee is supposed to resemble an iPod, at least...
Yeah, color balance is what I was thinking as well. Once I got to the background bits, I realized that I'd once again used quite a lot of blue...

Heheheh. Well, I can't complain about the blue, as it's one of my favorite colors. Gotta love analgous color schemes with a few extra hues to spice it up a bit.

nice
but if it's a magical convention, then none of those electronic things would work. and with magic, he has no need for them. in fact, does he even know how to use them? O.o

That was what made the idea so goofy in the first place - the sheer absurdity of it.
