Artist's Comments

This is my Harry Potter fan art that I had just finished. This one depicts a scene in Book Five, in latter chapters, where Harry and the gang rides a group of Thestrals to save Sirius Black. In case some of you hadn't read the book, Thestral is a creature that resembles a skeleton-horse, and can only be seen if you've experienced death (I mean, seen someone's death).

Er.. maybe the Thestral are a bit too eerie here, but Harry never thought of them to be pretty either ^^; I had a great time drawing the Thestrals, though my hands are pretty tired now from drawing 6 hours straight.... (I was supposed to be doing assignments now , but er, I had a student's block, ke ke ke)

Thanks to my brother for his help on the composition. Pencil on A3 paper.

Nice. I always thought of the Thestrals being more skeletal, but they look sweet here.:above:

man... i just finished the book, and the thestrels (to me) are among some of the best creatures in the series so far. (so cool)... i could just never get a clear mental image of them. but... :D i love you for drawing them!

composition-wise, this is a really nice piece. love the off-center focus that the moon has, as well as the riders spiraling around on the piece (or whatever it is that they're doing... looks sweet). very nice, especially for a sketch. think i might +fav this. good work!

Whoa, A3 paper means A3 scanner..... :o you lucky girl you....

It's amazingly detailed, and very well composed... :aww: There is any kind of creature you can't draw? What a perspective, I feel like flying with them! ^^ *nods at Brownkuma's message and would love to see it coloured*

And, lol, yay for those kind of blocks! :w00t:

Ng? A3 scanner? I use ordinary A4 scanner. I had to scan it in three section to get a decent full image. But at least it works... I'm not very comfortable with the limited space of A4s since most drawings I do are quite big... If I'm dilligent, I should've make an inked version and resize it into A4 using fotocopier,it'll turn a lot better.... but that's suicide for lazy bums like me =P

And speaking of creatures I could not draw, there's tons of it. ^^; Like drawing a bull-gynecologist... or a kissy-lips cat... ke ke ke

I'll do a color version, as soon as school's done....
