Quirrell and Snape (and Voldy) sketch dump

Description

"Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesn't he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell?"

__________________________________________


So. I realized that Ian Hart has the most AMAZING ears, and I've decided that Quirrell has them as well because. He is Quirrell. Too bad they are usually hidden under that turban, though. Which means I'll have to draw many a pre-Voldy Quirrell in the near future. *sigh*

Anyway, have this sketch dump to document my slow descent into madness.

These are perfect.

Oh God, where to even BEGIN? So...much...awesomeness! I keep telling myself I need to comment only when I have something meaningful to say, but then I go and look at it again and my brain goes into awesomeness overload.

Okay, I know where to start. The Quirrell one in the topmost righthand corner. That's the one that I keep looking at the most. I guess because I'm drawn to strong emotion, especially pain. He looks so...scared. And alone. And weary, and in pain, and lost. I would give so much to be able to reach through my screen into the picture and give him a hug.

I also adore the one of young Quirrell in Ravenclaw uniform (left side, third down), for exactly the opposite reasons. He looks so innocent and adorkable and happy. And oh my GAWD yes, you're so right about the ears! (Though for me, his best feature will always be his eyes...they're so wide and beautiful and emotive.)

And the one in the bottom right makes me cringe, of course. *shudder*

I'm running into that brain overloaded state again, so I'd best move on to Snape.

I don't know Snape as intimately as I know Quirrell, so I'll just mention my top favorite. It's the one in the top middle. Snape is always cold, sneering, poised and in control...but underneath that, he is deeply human. And sometimes the human bits slip through. I feel I can see the man most clearly in that one. He looks...thoughtful, and a bit surprised, and just so damn human, that rare side of Snape we almost never see.

I know I've just briefly touched on a few, but they're ALL just complete perfection. From a technical sense, they're wonderful...they're beautifully emotive...each one tells its own story...and they're all 100% in charcter. Each one could be its own portrait, and I could write a book about each. I adore your art style so much...it seamlessly merges realism with a more cartoony style. It reminds me a lot of the really excellent Disney films. (Yes, that is most definitely a compliment! =P)

Oh, and er...stupid question, maybe, but I'm assuming the snake is Voldy?

And now excuse me while I go fangirl over look at Quirrell some more...omigod, how can anyone NOT fall for that face??? :heart: :heart: :heart:
