Lily Potter - I think I may be getting a little closer. Her nose is a bit long, but she doesn't look as weird as my previous Lilys.
Whatcha Readin'? - Eponine bugs Marius. There are many problems, age being among them, but ... meh.

2:50 pm - Making Connections
I just finally realised that the character who I'm reminded of by the male lead from Corpse Bride is Wiggins from Pocahontas. That has been bugging me for months.

Also, Lily looks very much like a character I'd worked on for a friend's project a couple years ago, aside from the hair. Considering I am not an anime artist, I must redress this. (Ooh, burn!)

I want to be that Eponine. She looks SO COOL.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

She's actually based surprisingly closely on the Eponine I saw last fall – I'd never really liked the character before but that actress (where is my programme?) really brought a lot of charm to her. I drew that Eponine a week or so ago and then went to look up something that took me to a page with he touring cast on it and was surprised how much of her face I'd actually captured.

[tulanoodle.livejournal.com]

I think Eponine's left eye might be too far to the edge of her face??? I'm probably wrong. Oh well, it's just a dooodle anyway.

Hi,

I've just randomly stumbled onto your journal and would like to ask if it's okay for me to friend you? That is, I noticed your drawing and it reminded me of a fantastic HP fanart site that I've long ago lost the URL to and lo and behold, It's You! So, without any more rambling I'd just like to say that I really like your art and your drawing style a lot and I'm so glad that I've found the site again :)

Sincerely,
Nine

marius=nerd in love: hair like a visor (see 'john dearheart' upside-down for effects) no manly jaw, big, bright eyes, freckles, and a slightly hooked/overall up-angled nose, like a hawk, but more in the 'overall nerdy' arena. this is possible, ive done it. 'ponine...well, we like her, pity her maybe. she has to look at least somewhat pretty, tone down the nose a bit, maybe. maybe.

Like flutterazure, I'm also friending you. I've been a fan of your art for some time now, and followed the link through your site.


Regarding Lily, I rather like that her nose is long---I think this is my favorite picture of her you've done so far.

[le-parapluie.livejournal.com]

Oops, or flutteringazure, even. Sorry 'bout that.

[ladyella64.livejournal.com]

Ahh!! Tea!! You drew Lily! I officially love you for taking my request! *glomps to death*

She's wonderful!

hey tealin, what pencil did you use for the lily drawing? i'm pretty sure it's your command of it but i was just curious. :)

Lily

[lepitot.livejournal.com]

I am in no way authorized to give you advice, but...shouldn't Lily's eyes be the same shape as Harry's? I know it's hard to do that and still make her look like a pretty female. Also...her eyebrow (and perhaps her eye, as well) seem to be veeeeeeeeery close to her ear.

But, like I said, I'm really not authorized to critique your work for small errors, as you're a billion times better than me. But, I thought I'd give you my two cents anyway :)

[i-have-boydism.livejournal.com]

I can't see Lily *cries at deprevation of beauty by Tea.* Eponine reminds me of Kurt Wagner from X-men Evo! ^^ yay!.

Re: Lily

Aha, see, that is where I always got hung up before: I'd start with the eyes, trying to make them look like Harry's, and the rest of the design would be absolutely horrendous. This time I figured I'd get the rest of the face right, get the eyes as close as possible but not obsess over them, and then when I got a design I liked overall, I'd worry about the eyes then. I'd have to make them a little more feminine than Harry's, and these are roughly the same shape just with more emphatic eyelashes, but you're right, they should be obviously the same as Harry's. Now that I've gotten out of the Bad Lily Rut, I may work on that.

Um. That was me. Forgot I wasn't logged in.

A blue Col-Erase and an HB 0.7mm mechanical.

Lily looks wonderfull! ^^ Who is she looking at that way?
And your Eponine can really be disguised as a boy, I've never understood why Valjean thought she was one when seeing the play! ^^

[pyri-prongs.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! You're right; Wiggins! He even has an ugly dog!...Hmm, haven't seen Pocahontas in yeeears.

Oh, and the pictures, as always, are lovely. Awwww, Eponine is so cute there! When people ask you what you're reading, you tend to be half annoyed at them for interrupting and half ready to enthuse about how great the book is, but then they lose interest. I can so imagine her doing that ^_^

[chicnoodle.livejournal.com]

Hee hee hee. It IS Wiggins!

Confession: I totally had to google Wiggins to remember what he looked like. ;_;

[veronikamg.livejournal.com]

I like Eponine's skinny arms. They really give an idea about the state she's in. For some strange reason I like skinny arms. LOL.

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

Lily looks gracefully snarky. Woo!

I think the age gap can be accounted for in the Marius/Eponine because of the different lives they've led and such, maybe? If we're all up for making excuses and all. :D She is an old youth.

Hee, Wiggins. *snrk* (P.S. I think that anime stuff got told.)

[radishgirl.livejournal.com]

I really like how Lily looks.

[emdilem.livejournal.com]

There is far far too little Les Mis fanart out there! I should put my pencil where my mouth is and draw some of my own!
