Oooh, I like your interpretation of thestrals. I love seeing what people see, it's also nice that they haven't been on film yet, so the artist's perspective in unconvoluted by THAT interpretation.

Can't wait to see this colored!

Thank you very much! I <3 Thestrals. =P

I agree that it's nice to have the pre-movie interpretations of the characters and creatures, because once you've seen the films some of that influence creeps in no matter what.

I know. I seriously always picture McGonogall as she appears in the movies, she's just that way in my mind now. I think she's pretty good though.

bogfrog April 2 2005, 01:40:09 UTC

She is good, though almost shocking different (in appearance) from the canon. It's always a surprise when the actors look nothing like what you've imagined.

Which one is Elvis? Toad Elvis?

Another kitty, whee! I sense a trend ...

bogfrog April 2 2005, 16:06:03 UTC

Hehe! Yeah, I guess Trevor has a more Elvis-like personality than Snape every would. =D

& Yes...I do quite like cats (& need more practice drawing them, so every little helps).

... and a better singing voice!

I tried colouring it for an hour or two and gave up, you drew it too real :)

bogfrog April 2 2005, 16:41:11 UTC

Heh, aww...thank you for trying! I wasn't sure if this one is really colorable, it's got so many scribbly lines in it (but I couldn't resist posting it anyway). =)

I love these both. And like said above, it's wonderful to see someone's interpretations before the films come out because they do have somewhat of an impact on most i think, even if it's minor.

Thank you very much; I'm glad you like them! =)

It'll be interesting to see how the movie-thestrals appear compared to the many fan art versions out there.

oooh, those are both neat! I love snape's clothes and the pose of the thestral. thanks for posting! :)

Thank you! I <3 this community. =)

Are you sure it's Trevor and not some poor student who was in the wrong place at the wrong time? ;)

As one who can't draw animals very well, I absolutely love your rendition of the thestral :D The cat's adorable as well - in my mind, it's not the cat that's afraid of the thestral but the thestral that's afraid of the cat XD So pretty I had to try my hand at coloring it. Not sure I did the picture justice, though. I didn't even check my copy of OotP to see what thestrals are supposed to look like -.-;;

Knowing Snape, that's entirely possible.

And thank you very very much for coloring the Thestral pic; I was rather disappointed when no one colored it immediately after I posted it, so I'm delighted that it's been colored now. Will go comment on it asap!
