Draurings!

Gag sketches will be forthcoming, but before I can do them, I had to work out updated designs. It was surprisingly easy to picture Harry & Co. at 16/17.
Harry - He is Harry.
Malfoy - Design probably inspired by one of the characters in a classmate's final film.
Ron - Meh ... he's okay.
Hermione - Also okay. Good enough.
Slughorn - Likely stolen from a project I was working on with a friend which had a character that looked very similar. Sluggy's fatter, though ... ? Their descriptions are just so similar.

The first of ... well, a few, anyway.
GAG SKETCH #1
Tell me I wasn't the only one thinking this...
(It will probably get coloured when I go home and have my lovely tablet on my lovely computer with the monitor that does colours right)

That is AWESOME. I must admit I was not thinking of that, but that is perfect. Seriously. I clicked the link like 5 times while I was talking to my friend, pressing the "Back" button each time and thinking that was the last time I was going to look at it. It's just awesome. Great work again!

Also, I've been wondering; do Mary GrandPre and/or the illustrator for the UK Editions influence your artwork at all? Just curious.

Wow, I think that;s one of the best compliments I've ever had ... I do that to other people's drawings all the time and it's immensely flattering when someone does so with mine!

I was influenced by Mary GrandPre at the beginning of my HP 'career' (I blame her and the lighting of the frontspiece in Azkaban for my mistaken belief that Sirius had dark blonde hair) but I have tried to be a bit more independent ... I haven't been influenced by the British covers at all because frankly, they are blah.
