Paintings for Infinitus: Making Progress, Still Rushing

I will be submitting four brand new paintings for the Infinitus Charity Art Auction and Art Gallery Exhibition. Right now, with less than three days, I still have two paintings to complete, and I've been literally working 18 hours a day to get these done. I feel harried, rushed, and feverish. ( Read more... )

OMG, the HAIR!!! The hair is AMAZING! WOW! If I was a Lucius Malfoy fan, I'd definitely be ecstatic about this! ;)

I hope your stuff sells better for the HP Charity than it did at heART. It deserves to sell high!

Do you know what charities are benefiting from this?

EEE!!! I'm glad you liiiike it!

Hehe, I'm pretty confident it'll sell better than heART :D My paintings have never made less than $500 at each auction (I usually donate 4 paintings, but this year, there will be 5).

The charity benefiting will be HP Alliance, I believe, which in turn, benefits a lot of NGOs:

I really like the literacy work that HP Alliance does. All of the previous charity art auctions have gone to at least one literacy cause.

I love the detail in each strand of hair as well as the elaborate design and texture of his costume.

Thank you! The hair did take a lot of work, and the elaborate design on the cloak was the cause of many sleepless nights :D I'm glad it all worked out! :D

I bet. It takes me approximately a few weeks or sometimes a few months even to create an artistic masterpiece, nearly. Especially if it is a very detailed drawing.

This is VERY impressive, and not just because I'm a Malfoy. You have captured the icy regal yet dark nature of the man down to the very last detail, and the overall impact is powerful. Together with the Snape portrait they tell such a story.

Your rendering of his hair is incredible, lush yet detailed. Wonderful work.

This is very, very high praise, thank you so much! I knew I would win points if this painting impresses you! :D

The more I look at it the more I see in it, and the more I enjoy it, and that a mark of a fine work.

I am very selective about the art here in the Manor, but this one would be right at home, and as I love to support artists I consider friends, I would love a signed copy, if you have enough, doesn't have to be at the con either, but after, if it's easier.

foxestacado July 8 2010, 21:10:31 UTC

I am honored to have artwork at your Manor! I will reserve a signed copy for you, for the $20 limited time pricing, which will be raised to over $30 after the Con.

If you pay for it now, I can make sure you get a copy at the Con. That will save you shipping. Or, if it'll be easier for you to transport the print, I can also mail it to you after the Con.
