Description
Each Drawing varies in side though they are no larger than 7 x 7Pencil on Paper
*** This is technically a re-posting of this illustration. I plan to do so with all of my Potter art work building up (hopefully) to having some new stuff to share there after. So if you feel like you've seen this before - you probably have. On the upside, I'm sharing it at a larger resolution and without the DeviantArt watermark on it now **
These were my series of drawings of bad proportions. I really liked all of them in concept, but in retrospect, I think when I was doing these drawings, I was realizing how close I was getting to the end and I might have rushed them a little. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be sharing them if I thought they weren't any good at all. This is just one of those cases where I look at a decent drawing I did and see more of what I could have done to make it better. That's all.

Man, those centaurs look like they came
straight out of a Greek painting.

That is very kind of you... I look forward to doing more centaur illustrations because I feel like I could have done these better. I look forward to my second round with 'em!

Well, if it was either from the book or the movie in terms
of design, I'm certain you'll do a good job regardless.

Thank you for the compliment - that's very nice of you to say
And maybe I misunderstood originally - but I definitely didn't base any of my designs on the movies. I try to avoid their influence as much as possible. Not because I don't like them, but only because I want to be as faithful to the books first and foremost. After I get details according to the book correct, then I add my own personal touches.

Don't worry. I was just saying that if, and I do mean "if",
the designs were based on the movies, I'd still like
your art. Since I like both for various reasons.

And I hope I didn't come off as anti-movie. I like the movies. But the movies by comparison to the books... well, there is no comparison for me

Your hourglasses are so cool! I don't remember what I imagined the first time I read it, but it was definitely not the larger than life version that you envisioned. Very cool. Hagrid's crossbow looks like a toy, but of course they wouldn't be made for his size. Your centaurs are awesome.

I'm glad you liked the hourglasses - because I wasn't a huge fan of illustrating them. The reason I made them big was mostly because I figured they'd have to be otherwise only a small collection of students could look at them at any given time. This way, they were on display for all to see all the time - for good or bad
Hehehe - yeah, I like the idea that Hagrid makes use of as many "normal" sized items as he can. It's not like there are large versions of all that kind of stuff made for half giants. If there's ever a time (which I don't think I've encountered yet) that he needs something to match his size, it would look a little more make-shifted.

such beautiful vignettes!! I especially like the one with them all close together in the forest and the blood-drinking creature!!! and the final vignette isn't spectacular, but I'm so glad you included it... I think it's such an important moment...

LOL - yeah, there are some drawings that are less than spectacular - but they aren't meant to be, Just a piece of story that gets shown. But I thank you none the less for your kind words and compliments!

I think I see what you mean about bad proportions. Particularly with the drawing of Hagrid with Bane and Ronan. Bane in particular looks a bit off with his horse body looking closer in scale to a pony's body. I see this sort of thing happen all the time, even I'm guilty of it sometimes. XD
