fanart, Graphorn

[ratcreature]

Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters/Pairings: a graphorn
Media used: pencil, fine liner pen with waterproof indian ink, GIMP
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: This is the fourth in my magical creatures series, a graphorn encyclopedia plate this time. It looks rather weird because of the odd feet where you'd expect hooves, but the canon

COOL! I love your magical creature drawings, they're so well thought out and the whole presentation (plate-style) makes it that much more interesting. I like how you blended in all the different things to make a convincing fantasy creature, it doesn't look like bits and pieces of different animals patched together but like something that actually does exist in HP land. Also, kudos for having the patience to draw all that fur, the texture's amazing.

Thank you! I'm glad it works for you. And yeah, the fur took some hours. Also the life of my thinnest fineliner. Though actually the worn out quality it had in places towards the end worked quite well for fur.

Oh wow, that is just amazing! I'd believe it was a page torn from a book!

(that so sucks, I really do not like the entitled direction Fandom is heading in.)

[ratcreature]

Thank you, I'm glad it comes across as a book page.

(I probably won't watermark all my images, when I don't really like the look, but b/c of the book design the magical creature series does not have my signature in the image itself, so if the picture ends up somewhere I didn't put it, viewers couldn't even trace it by googling my pseud.)

I love the way you've framed it as an illustration plate from a book, and the very Victorian penwork.

Thank you!

Oh, excellent. Lovely shading in the fur.

[ratcreature]
