Stay Tuned

Okay, it's 11:28 MDT, but I had to show my dad the nifty Photomerge thing in CS so that delayed me.

Morfin Gaunt - I realised while drawing this that I had cast Deagol as Morfin. Um.
Merope Gaunt - Gee, you'd think I liked Brett Helquist's art or something. I'm not sure her face is 'heavy' enough, but she's got the frazzled, desperate look I was going for. Her far hand is supposed to be on something but it's too high for a sink or counter ... any lower, though, and it would mess up the action line, so I don't know what to do with it.
Young Riddle gets a Visitor - This is probably my favourite scene in the book and the one to leave the strongest visual impression. Upon rereading it (halfway through completion of the drawing) I don't think Tom ever is in this pose, but I liked what it said in body language so I'm going to pretend that it was written that way. He also looks a bit too old, but I'm a terrible judge of age, so what do I know? Anyway, I'm rambling. I like it.

AWESOME. Great new drawings. The Gaunts look particularly disturbed. For some reason whenever I think of Merope, she's got her hair down in front of her face like Samara from the Ring. Except not as long hair. Still, great job with all of these pictures. Riddle should probably look a little younger, but it's still fine the way it is. The scary thing is I imagined that kid who plays Peter in Finding Neverland and Charlie in Tim Burton's Chocolate Factory movie in that seen in the book, even though he TOTALLY wouldn't play a character like that. So something's wrong with my imagination on Riddle. But that's besides the point. Great job on the drawings, especially on making Dumbledore look younger; he looks EXACTLY like I pictured him.
