Description
I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You're not a bad person. You're a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.So, revision went out the window - again. I found myself watching the final Harry Potter movie today, I watched it for the first time directly after Part 1 at about 3am with my buddy, but by about half way I got kinda tired so I didn't take everything in completely. So yeah, I kinda just sat and watched it again in my agonising wait for Pottermore and days where I actually have plans. So, it's kind of a sad reflection the movie left me with. I wanted to draw something Harry Potter related, but not from the last movie as all my favourite guys are dead by then.
So, I sat and drew this picture of my favourite Harry Potter character ever: Sirius Black. He just makes it for me. As much as I find Harry annoying and moody, Sirius is the closest person he had as a father figure. He had huge skeletons in the closet what with feeling the regret with not being the Potter's secret keeper. Spending twelve years locked away for a crime he didn't commit...I dunno, he just holds a lot of traits that I think are well-developed and lovely. Yeah, I am a Sirius fangirl, deal with it B[...
Anyway, I figured nobody really draws many scenes with Sirius in them- especially not in his dog form. So this picture is around the time when Sirius is trying to get to Peter Pettigrew in Hogwarts. I figured he probably had to make a few failed attempts and had some close calls with the dementors whilst trying to scout out that nasty rat in Hogwarts. So here he is, broken out from Azkaban, disguised in his animagus form, running away from what looks like a failed attempt to get into the grounds unoticed.
The pose is referenced with kind permission from ~blackunia 's deviation: [link] I loved the pose she had here, I'd love to learn to draw with more dynamic poses that can speak to viewers of the work as hers did to me. Please return her kind favour to me by paying her beautiful gallery a visit, it'll be well worth your time!
On another crediting note (unless it isn't already hugely obvious), the background of Hogwarts with the Dementors is from google images- not by any means drawn by me and I claim no credit for the background. The link to it is here: [link] I have used this texture, also: [link]
Okay. It's pretty late now. And I doubt anybody has actually read this anyhoo. Sorry Commissioners, this was genuinely quite a quick impulse drawing, I am working on your Commissions. If you want indications of the progress on your pieces, feel free to note me.

*fangirls* I love this !
And aww sorry for waiting for Pottermore...I'm a beta though. Btw, just in case if you're interested, Ravenclawesomes are in the lead, followed by Serpents, Lions and Badgers (some people who got in Hufflepuff abandoned their accounts! BLASPHEMY!). There's nothing much to do, but I hope they'll be some more once it's opened for public.
Also, are you in myHogwartsBETA? (myHogwarts will be perhaps more awesome than Pottermore because we'll be able to take classes :3. Can't wait)

Aaw nice Yeah, I am worried that Pottermore will be a flash in the pan and a disappointment...but I'm hoping as it's from J.K Rowling herself it won't be too bad. I don't think I'd mind what house I get sorted into. I don't like Hufflepuff that much but I love Badgers, so I could compromise just for that reason, haha. I have no major prejudices against houses XD
Hmn. I thought I was on it as I had joined a Harry Potter site where you could take classes and got homework etc. But I just checked and the one I'm on is called PotterAcademy, I stopped going on cause it got a bit boring, plus you had to feed your characters and if you were gone for more than like 2 days they'd starve or something XD;;; That was annoying. I tried to search this myHogwarts, but it won't let me load the page :s Is it doing that to you? Are you able to sign up to BETA right now?

There are a lot of cool background stories as you explore the site, and that's my favourite part so far :] It's the stuff JK never said before. ^^ Otherwise, it's a bit boring.
Yes, you can take classes on myHogwarts (but as of September actually). There were some people (volunteers) who wrote books...but you can't see it for now, because you know...BETA sites are pretty much boring
You can't sign up for Beta, there was this 15-day (I think) quiz thingy with superhard questions and it was soooo hard to get in there. It loads the page for me: [link]

Yeah it started loading for me when I checked today, maybe it was just busy yesterday. It doesn't seem too bad, I'll certainly keep my eye on it Hopefully Pottermore will be okay in some ways, it'll be interesting if nothing else

Nah, just a student. I don't really have the time to be a professor, since I have a dA group to run and zillion of other accounts on the Interwebz.

Oh my gosh, really?!
You have no idea how that makes me feel ^^ That my art has actually made some kind of influence on somebody is just a lovely thing to hear Thank you so much
!I wish I could read them again but I don't actually have the books ;; I borrowed them all from a friend, plus I should be working and reading the set texts for my exams XD;;; Maybe over the Summer I shall re-read, then flood dA with more fanart :3 <3

Haha thanks <3 Yeah....Sadly I wasn't one to grow up with Harry Potter. My brother had the books but when we moved a while back I think he must have gotten rid of them :/ My mum was very against Harry Potter 'cause she thought it was too 'evil' for kids. So after the third movie when the dementors came and it started to get dark, she stopped taking us to see the movies :/ It's a shame cause all my mates grew up with Harry Potter as a part of their childhood. I literally only read the whole series in this year just passed :/
