Well, finally! So it's parts three and four of the comic.

Hope you like and thanks for the comments and help with my grammar!

( The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore - Comic - Parts Three & Four) )

Hi there! Just wanted to say hi and sorry because I'm a bit delayed updating the comic. I wanted to post a chapter a month, but this month started a bit crazy and it's probably going to end in total chaos.

And I'm taking a few days off next week to visit my parents so I won't be around for a while.

So, I'm posting two pics that I was going to post together with the comic. One is Dumbledore and Fawkes and the other is Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Yes, I'm getting a bit mono-thematic, I'm afraid.

Also, I'm awfully, horribly, terribly behind replying! But I will reply. Thank you so much for all the encouragement!

And here's part two of the comic.

Hope you like and any help with grammar/spelling is always welcomed. :)

( The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore - Comic - Part Two) )

Well, this is odd. I never thought I was actually going to post this because I started working on this comic two years ago! It´s about how Dumbledore meets Grindelwald, what happens to Ariana and the last part is mostly Dumbledore fighting dark wizards and Grindelwald himself.

It´s quite long; I divided it into ten parts more or less and I still need to clean up some pages (and add some text). Yeah, I call it the Insane Project of Doom. Originally, I just wanted to practice a bit of storytelling that wasn´t storyboarding and then it just got out of hand. :)

It´s all in pencil. At one point I was quite optimistic and thought I was going to be able to paint the whole thing, but now I know it´s never going to happen. :)

Ok, and here are a few warnings:

1- As you know, English is not my first language. I spell checked the text but my grammar remains unchecked, I´m afraid. So, if anybody reads the story, suggestions are more than welcome!

2- It´s pretty manga-ish. Yeah, I´m a lot into manga and anime so there's a lot of influences there (from the way the characters look, to the way they speak and the way the story is told)

3- Er... this one is rather big, actually. I replaced the wands for staffs And I don´t even have a very good explanation for it, other than I wanted to draw a lot of action sequences and the wands didn´t look all that cool. It´s really shallow but since I was going to draw around 100 pages I wanted to draw staffs!

4- There might be some swearing.

Other than that I think it´s quite PGish.

Hi there! Heh, so much for posting more often. :(

The first pic is about Teddy Lupin. The second picture is of Teddy and Victoire.
And there's a pencil drawing of a story I've been working on for some very long time and another pencil drawing of a character that started being Dumbledore and then it just changed. :)

Happy Halloween everybody! Hope you you have a great time!

Hello there! I can't believe it's been over three years without posting anything; at all.

It's been three crazy years of moving around a lot, folks not doing very well (luckily, they're OK now), changing jobs and lots of work (tons, really). Unfortunately, I lost contact with pretty much everybody. In fact, I almost lost my email account (I got it back but it was a blank slate, ugh, sucks).

Anyway, things have slowed down quite a bit and I've actually got my life back (or part of it at least).

My job is awesome. I'm working for a small video game company (casual games only) and my team mates and bosses are the best. They're incredibly funny and it feels like a small family so it rules. But, well, sometimes it does get insane when we approach heavy deadlines.

So, hopefully, I'll be able to post all the sketches and stuff that I've accumulated over three years with some continuity.

Also, I want to thank all the people that have e-mailed me asking whether I've been abducted by aliens or got an airplane ticket on Oceanic 815. Thank you so much for all your concern and support!!!

Oh, and before I forget, again, my Deviant Art account is hueco-mundo. Lots of people asked me about this (thank youlily_hbp!) because they thought it was somebody else stealing my pics.
Since I didn't say anything about the DA account in my LJ it got a bit confusing.

The reason I didn't say anything about the hueco-mundo account was because it just didn't cross my mind *shrugs* I'm not particularly bright sometimes (or all the time really ;) Also, the DA account doesn't have all the pics that I post on LJ but if you want to check it out, sure, feel free to do so!

This post got way too long. So I'll keep it up on my next post! It's awesome to be back and hopefully I'll be able to catch up with everybody!

And I'm posting a pic that I did about Bella and Snape (not shippy in case you're wondering).

( Bella threatening Snape )

I'll post everything behind the cut.

( Dumbledore and Dumbledore and Grindelwald (Deathly Hallows spoilers) )

All these pictures started off as something different than what they ended up being. Sometimes I avoid sketching too much before deciding on a particular idea, because I end up developing much more stuff than planned. :)

So there's a Trio picture that was originally meant to be a Ron/Hermione picture for a commission work.

There's also a canon scene from HBP that's when Harry tells Scrimgeour to STFU shows Scrimgeour the scars of Umbridge's quill. The idea is still there, but the mood of the image is so not what's described in the book.

The last picture is a Scrimgeour/Tonks picture that was originally going to be a Hinata/Naruto picture (yeah, I know, not even close). However, I was doing something with their forehead protectors that reminded me of crowns and I thought about lysa1's wonderful story "Chevaliers de Coeur" where Scrimgeour and Tonks are King and Queen and, well, I really couldn't help it.

Also, this one is for the Snape fans in my flist, lily_hbp made a video with Snape fanart (with great art from a lot of different artists) and it's really nicely done and edited so you might want to see it. This is Lily's devart account where you can find extra links and credits:

This are very few of the stuff I've done that are not commissioned pictures and that are not random doodles either and they're also the only ones that I could actually find after the back-up. :/

The first HP picture is one of those things that everybody has done and I totally couldn't resist doing myself. It's some of the characters as Sekrit Agents (the MIB/Agent Smith look). It's has to be one of the crackiest things I've done but lots of fun. The characters are (from left to right): Sirius, Harry, Scrimgeour, Dumbledore, Snape, Draco, Lupin and Ron.

The other is a painting of Harry who looks like a cross-over between a manta-ray and Saint Seiya. Really.

And the other three are three Bleach paintings of four of my favourite characters. Although I'm not sure if "favourite" is the right word because I have more than 20 favourite characters for that show (so far). Kubo should stop making so many cool people; it's very hard to fangirl all of them. :P The pics are of Urahara and Yoruichi, Kyouraku and Ukitake.

Also, probably everybody has seen leelastarsky's version of The Four Founders by now, but if you haven't go check it out. The paintings are amazing and her Slytherin is soooo cool.

And, I'm pretty sure my e-mail account is working now (sort of, I really don't know what I'm doing wrong now, stupid thing).
