So all of the sudden I was smacked upside the head by my muse and I managed to finish a picture that I couldn't ever get past sketches before AND added about 4 pages to my long forgotten fanfic that I WILL make myself finish one of these days. I blame my sudden inspiration on the beautiful weather we have been finally getting up North here in good

The amount of detail is phenominal. I really love it.

[queequegg]

whoo! I was trying my best to add as much detail as I could muster... seems I did good. Thanks!

this really fantastic! the perspective is fine, i think, possibly except the floor (you got the tables right, but the floor, although very good, looks very static.) THE DETAILS ARE AMAZING! i love how you have so many characters in this piece. i love how the tables aren't neat - there are quills, and all sorts of potions equipment here. and the door with chain + sign reading 'no students' is awesome. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DONE PIECE. CONGRATS!

[queequegg]

thank you ever so much! I will try to make the floor a little more exciting as I color it, any suggestions?

Wow. I love all the detail. I especially like the candlebra at the back, the equipment storage side-board thing, and the 'No Students' sign. Typical Snape.

Computer colouring might be the best way to get the sort of glow you'd want.

[queequegg]

it is so typical Snape isn't it? haha I love that I somehow managed to draw a scene in the potions classroom and he's not in it! How'd I manage that??
I thought the candlebra added a nice extra Slytherin touch, thanks!

I am definitely coloring this in photoshop, i just need to figure out the best way to get the glowing look I want!

You did such an amazing job on this Queequegg! The excruciating detail and the PERSPECTIVE is just brilliant! Man I could learn a lot from you!I love the way you've drawn everything and everyone; it must have taken you AGES! I love the little fondue pot-like cauldrons, Ron's scruffy, patched robes, Parvati smirking behind the Trio, the snake candlelabras.... It's just astounding how much you put in to this...it really shows :D

As for crit, the only things that come to mind is the floor. I love the floor pattern of flagstones, but they're very prominent. You could lighten them up a little in PS, or it may not even be an issue once you've colored it.

The whole piece is just fantastic. Awesome job!

I really should thank you and hp_fringeartfor posting the background challenge or I probably would have copped out and just drawn the trio. I like making backgrounds once I get going, they just aren't as exciting as everything else. Plus, I feel I need more practice on people rather than objects, however... people interacting with objects is a whole different story... ;o)

Others have also commented on the floor, I had to put something there or I would have had a similar problem with "big blank space". Hopefully I will be able to mute the look of it once I get it colored, so as to draw less focus to it and push it to the background where it belongs!

They DO look like little fondue pots! heehee :o)

[queequegg]
