tealinOkay, 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.

Date: 2005-07-27 05:11 pm (UTC)The point is that Tom's not a normal child. So it's OK for him to look a little older. At least he doesn't look as old as he does in Mary Grandpre's abysmal representation of the scene in the American Version. I swore from the illustration he would have been at lest 18 there, so I was like "Woah!" when I read he was only 11.
Your version still kicks Mrs. Grandpre's version's butt, though! :-)
