Many Happy Returns

[tealin]

Happy birthday, Harry! (for the next thirty-seven minutes... )

In honour of this festive occasion, I have drawn

We already know Ms Rowling is not a Radio 4 fan because she completely missed the chance to arrive at Mornington Crescent, but further proof was the lack of this scene, which regular Now Show listeners may, if intoxicated, find slightly amusing:


Drawn in reaction to that shot in the movie:

There is no Lucius but Makani's Lucius! I did this one with no reference at all, so it's probably way off... and, obviously, the mouth is all curly ... Am I the only one who thought the Berenstain Bears looked quite sinister?


and
I had a small brainwave this morning and drew this on the bus:

It's a really wonky drawing but I kind of like that, in this one, which means either that I am losing my mind or the world is ending.

Some doodles from work, trying to make sure Snape, Scrimgeour, and Moody don't all look too similar. I don't know if I did establish that at all.

Apparently I can't refrain from doodling even when in the Epicentre of Awesome.


I tried playing with it a bit to get some dimensionality. This looked too much like Scrimgeour so it was rejected.


'If you truly wish to master Legilimency, Severus,' said Dumbledore, 'You must learn to conceal your really quite obvious "tell"...'
(help, my wit is atrophied!)


Tried redoing a scene from the Azkaban Project (again with no reference; waiting for the bus is a hard time to look up old files) ... I like this design, it's fun, even if he is yelling at ... the floor...?


I wanted to draw a pose with his robes billowing but I gave up on the thumbnails pretty quickly and settled for ridiculously overblown cliché...

Then I noticed he looked like A PURTY FLOWER:

Where's his tambourine?

All DH spoiler-safe!

I don't know what's better, the PURTY FLOWER or the fact that Voldem...*cough* Gitwizard is drinking Starbucks.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

To be fair I drew it at Starbucks... but if you look veeeery closely (probably closer than the resolution will allow) you'll find a skull in place of the mermaid.

[heidi-wiggin.livejournal.com]

Ahaha! Flower!

These are great!
I especially love Voldy's Santa's-Helper-Type shoes.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Those are Frollo's shoes, I'll have you know!

[aleoninc.livejournal.com]

Awww, he makes a lovely flower. XD

Love them all, but Voldy and his Frappachino is just too awesome.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Actually it's a double peppermint mocha soy latte (notice the steam) but compliment taken. :)

[buttfacemakani.livejournal.com]

omg these made me laugh so hard xDDD and OMG Am I the only one who thought the Berenstain Bears looked quite sinister?

THAT'S WHY I DIDNT' LIKE THEM. THEY LOOK CREEPY AND SINISTER.

Aw Lucius x333 That part in the movie was so LOL oh man. Also you have to remember my Lucius has the build of a football player. x))

I need to finish reading Reaper Man D:.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Ah right, I shall go back and fix him ... I get to the hair and think 'ooh, Elfy,' and from there on I'm in Elf mode.

Yes, Reaper Man! How far have you read?

[colour-me-troll.livejournal.com]

I think the starbucks match Voldys character fantastically. And seriously, the flower owns.

[soloproject.livejournal.com]

I like Lucius' mouth!! XD He looks perfectly in character...and I thought he liked his Death Eater costume too much. :(

Also, Snape's eyeballs FTW

[kyla-grievous.livejournal.com]

I really like your new Snape, he looks a little older, sader and worn out. The flower one made me rofl! Hope to see more! :D

[dankershaw.livejournal.com]

I love your Voldy. He always seems to remind me of Yzma (emperors new groove)
~ Especially because he is sat on a chair/throne. Hehe.
I'd love to see the last frame in colour too. Bet it would look amazin with the steam all dramatic. XD

[sammysmee.livejournal.com]

lol floral snape! i like your depiction of snape its no as cliche as most (including mine) - cliche being 'looking like alan rickman' lol

and yes Makiki has brainwashed us all, i too picture her Malfoys and Lestrange as her characters when reading XD

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

*snicker* The purty flower is really priceless.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

OKay, I know I comment on your icon every time you use it, but ... dude. THAT is why I can't take Gary Oldman seriously in anything, especially if he has long hair and/or facial hair, because he smiles and hello! it's Rosencrantz! It was particularly entertaining in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Ahhh, R&G love... Tim Roth could have played a good Snape; I think he influenced my first drawings of him ...

[lepitot.livejournal.com]

I love Wormtail's pose in the "gitwizard" picture. It's very expressive and I can almost see it moving. I also like the flower one, and the one where you redid the Azkaban drawing. Lol, maybe in his anger he jumped onto a bed (wasn't that scene in the hospital wing? If not, he jumped up on a desk lol, and that's why he's looking down.) I must say though I kind of like your old design for Snape, even if it was a more plain and simple design. Ah well, the new one is good, too.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

That last sketch is what he wears to London Pridefest every year. :D

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

[canisdoofus.livejournal.com]

Ooooooohhhh... Tea, I could KISS you!!! :D

I'm saving these... All of them! Well, maybe not the one where Severus pulled a Jeff Goldblum and got into that "Fly" gene-splicing machine with Liberace. They're WONDERFUL!

I do so *love* how fandom has given Voldemort a caffeine addiction. Aren't death eaters fun???

What's with the random fat horse?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

That was a thumbnail for the animation I'm doing.

[hobbitnat.livejournal.com]

LOlz Snape is a pansy XD

I love how you draw Voldemort, and I think my favourite doodle is of lil Snape XD he's all like "wut!?"

[rosynose.livejournal.com]

Oh man, all the facial expressions are just gorgeous (and the pretty billowing!). I love Voldy in the first panel, he looks like somebody's jolly Death Eater uncle.

[karwei.livejournal.com]

Shudder. The Berenstain Bears. I didn't even like them as a kid.

Haha. Pretty Snape.

[rogzilla.livejournal.com]

Why is it that Voldemort drinking Starbucks doesn't stike me as odd at all? By all means, it is a muggle business, he shouldn't really know about it. But then...hey, it is a wonderful bit of commentary as to how far Starbuck's reach has gone. Also,if he was a muggle, he would be the type of guy who would sit aroudn Starbucks, drinking his coffee looking all important as he typed on his laptop.

PS-Voldy looks great!

[tikigeek.livejournal.com]

That Voldy, what a schmuck...drinking starbucks.

[poisonedwriter.livejournal.com]

I think Snape looks like a muppet. A very humorous muppet.

[stevie-roch.livejournal.com]

Oh man, the bulgy eyes on Snape look so appropriate.

For some reason, I especially love the way you draw Voldy.

[linda-lupos.livejournal.com]

It's neat and almost kinda odd to see how your art has developed from the older drawings. So many pointy chins all of a sudden! But it's also very graceful, somehow - all those curls, for example in the back of Voldemort's chair or, yes, with Lucius's mouth. :p

Lucius looks kinda like an evil Haldir btw.

The best drawing is, imo, the first one of Voldemort. He looks like a happy kitten! An evil happy kitten, but happy nonetheless: ^_^

Snape and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat:

Snape's new coat was elegant,
The cut was fine
The tasteful style was the
Ultimate in good design
And this is why it caught the eye
A wizard'd stop and stare

And when old Snape tried it on
He knew his drab coat days were gone

Such a dazzling coat of many colours
How he loved his coat of many coloures

In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest
Such a stunning coat of many colours
How he loved his coat of many colours
It was red and yellow and green and
Brown and blue

Snape's co-workers weren't
Too pleased with what they saw

We have never liked him
All that much before
And now this coat
Has got our goat
We feel this wiz is unfair

And when old Snape graced the scene
His co-workers turned a shade of green
His astounding clothing let to snorts

Quite the smoothest person inside Hogwarts

I look handsome, I look smart
I am walking work of art
Such a dazzling coat of colours
How I love my coat of many colours

It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown and
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue

Omg, lol at Snape 'PURTY FLOWER'! X)

Omg, Lucius is hot, sure Makani's is hotter (no offense) but I love how you drew him. :D

Great job!

[vytresna.livejournal.com]

If you've seen Worst Witch, please to be drawing Voldemort (or Snape) with trashy pink hair dancing around a hobo cauldron?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I have seen it (that's where the line about the tambourine comes from) but ... bwuh?

[out-tonight889.livejournal.com]

your voldie is so cute!!! it makes me wanna hug him everytime!! starbucks of evil, hahahahha
