... And Some More Good Cheer!
Jan. 2nd, 2006 09:07 amMy, what a lovely peaceful evening of scanning I had...
Page 7 - Hagrid shows off his zoological collection to Dr Maturin as requested by veronikamg, Romilda Vane for those who wanted her, and a drawing of Moaning Myrtle slightly modified from needtoflyaway's suggestion to have her looking 'freakishly' at the egg – here she is looking freaky at the egg.
Page 8 - bananabasket on his spinny cup, shadow_woods's big stuffed monkey (ape, here, actually), and the sketch of James being yelled at by Lily (or possibly his sister, or Hermione's mother ... what a bland face) originally suggested by morbidbunny and seconded by a number of other people.
Page 9 - Older Harry playing Quidditch for black_nightdress, Luna looking like a Ken Duncan character for linvalien, and someone's request for an Order of the Phoenix emblem to counter the Dark Mark ... Unfortunately it seems to be heavily based on that red dragon/phoenix thingy used in the insignia of the bad guys in Hellboy. Er.
Page 10 - The Luggage from The Last Continent for bellatella (for some reason I've always pictured it with Minnie Mouse feet in this scene), Nobby (whose design I'm still not happy with) on the 'Hogfather's' knee for naturalblue208, and Harry with a tattoo of a Hungarian Horntail on his chest. (Harry! Put some clothes on!)
Page 11 - I took some liberties with kaflower's request for Harry chasing Snape, and then there's Fenrir Greyback for linda_lupos, though really if you want to see Fenrir you should look at Makani's because hers is the definitive Mad Werewolf Man whereas mine is but a pale imitation. So pale as to be nearly albino.
Page 12 - Moist riding Boris the Mad Wonderhorse to Sto Lat for (appropriately enough) thefordmustang.
One more batch to go ... check back tomorrow, if all goes well.

Date: 2006-01-02 05:35 pm (UTC)I bet it saves a lot of paper, though. All of my drawings take up an entire page...bit wasteful, actually...
These rock, as well. My favorite is Lily yelling at James...

LOL! That luggage looks like an Imelda Marcos relic! But the best of the bunch is definitely Harry's horntail tatoo! I ADORE IT! Even if Romilda DOES look like my ex's fiancee -- slight lazy eye and everything!

Date: 2006-01-02 10:19 pm (UTC)Ha, you can just tell James is going, "Is that my wife? I always imagined her prettier than that." And Lily saing, "Well freakin' deal with it, buddy! JKR put her foot down at making Ginny pretty!"
And I love Harry and Horntail. Yes, Harry, you should be putting some clothes on...in a minute...once I've had a good, lo-o-ong look.
Ahhh

Date: 2006-01-03 05:02 am (UTC)I love poor Moist... I'm not sure if he's wincing in agony from the ride, or just afraid to watch where Boris is heading, either way, it works!

Date: 2006-01-03 05:18 pm (UTC)Yeah, I was surprised they left that in, actually ... I mean, they take out the Firebolt, but they leave in the ritual diemboweling? Looks like they're going just for shock value, I'd say.
Harry Potter???

Date: 2006-01-03 06:29 pm (UTC)All in all, great job! I hope this is one you can expand on and add to your website collection!
(Going Postal seems to be taking off on a lot of books and films such as "The Sting", but some part of it really remind me of that science fiction film with Kevin Costner, "The Postman". I hated that movie, so Going Postal was a great send up of it. This scene was sure one that would have made the Costner movie more likeable :-)
