Here it is the final piece in the three part series that I've been working on. What I find most interesting is that I've been able to sheel out decent work like this three days and nights in a row. About 5 months ago that would have seemed like a tirade from an escaped mental patient.
Nevertheless it seems to have worked out well.
This is Fred Weasley and Harry Potter's Pet Owl Hedwig.
If you haven't deduced by now, this series is in memoriam of the characters on the good side who were killed in the final installment of the Harry Potter book series: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
[forgive me if Im repeating myself.]
Fred Weasley. The death in the book that took me by complete surprise. J.K. Rowling has halved one of the greatest duos in all of literary history. [I say "one of" because I'm sure there are countless others.]
I know many people will mourn his death, as he was one of the more popular characters in the cast.
He will be missed.
As for the drawing, his hair gave me so much trouble, you should have seen the first styling, I had managed to draw a young Conan O'Brien, and that was not at all my plan, so with a bit of tweaking I managed to get it right and I'm quite happy with the outcome.
Hedwig was the biggest challenge for me though out of this entire project. I'm not one to draw animals, not especially fowl, unless those animals are mythical. But even then I have a hell of a time getting them right.
I spent most of my time growing up learning to draw the human form [and again I still have issues with it.
Still though once I had a reference, [link] , it was as simple as, for me, calculus....Math....bad...
Uh so yeah, it took a couple of tries but I'm happy that I managed to keep some realism about the figure, but manage to maintain my own style with it.
Over all I think this peice does the two justice.
As well as the first two...
And as a side note, as I don't think it's quite clear, No, Fred is not looking at a watch, he has just had hedwig on his arm.
Anyway, fullview? no I don't think so...
Download at your own risk.
If you fullview all you'll get is a larger preview image and that....that's just boring.
Anyhow, please enjoy, this, the representation of my own personal bereavement to the end of the series.

They were mostly all characters I had really liked.

I can imagine Fred smiling even in the after life *sigh*
I think it's wonderful. You did an amazing job. I miss them both dearly.
Kudos!

I was originally going to give him his usual, "I-know-something-you-don't" grin, but decided against it in favor of a more mature, "Yeah-I'm-gone-but-I'm-okay-with-it-mate!" smiles.
Thank you so much!

Nice job! And the download worked for me (just for reference).
I'm actually getting tired of all the Fred and George fangirls that are just *so* crushed by his death. Yeah, it was sad, but I totally think Sev was the saddest death, and I can prove it too!!

UndeadDeviation In reply to TheGriffinThief [2007-07-27 02:44:09 +0000 UTC]
Oh good!
I think I've got the knack of this preview image business
I didn't think it would be such a fiasco when I uploaded the first a few days ago.
HA!
Anyway thank you, Im not quite sure I agree because I'm friends with alot of Fred and George Fan Girls, and frankly I don't feel like getting disowned
But I do agree that snape was one of the most pitiful deaths in the book.

yes, fangirls are dangerous. I've never personally incited one to anger, but I've heard the stories...

you know, you could have just posted a peice of literature, instead of doing that in the artist's comments...
please read my story!!! someone?! Anyone?!?!

UndeadDeviation In reply to comycboy [2007-07-27 04:57:59 +0000 UTC]
But they're my comments, about my piece.
Its not up to you to tell me how much I should or should not put there.
Not least since it was a ploy to get me to read yout story.
That's just not cricket.
