Artist's Comments

I recently discovered that JK released a BLack family tree a while ago, and it is doing things to my brain. I want to draw every last person on it, because I am just that infatuated with them. I never used to understand the Malfoy fen, and I thought it was because I just didn't like evil characters, but apparently when you give them dark hair I go to pieces. My only defense is that Sirius isn't evil and he's my favorite of them, but it feels weak when I have such a bizarre fixation on Bellatrix.

Anyway, the first in my (probably short-lived) Black family series is, of course, the first name on the list. The first Sirius, who was born in 1845 and died when he was only eight.

There is a colored pencil version too, which some people like better. I dislike it and think the scan is awful, but if you care it's here. I smoothed the pencil version out in photoshop, rather than re-coloring it all. The border I did by hand, with a mouse. Not something I recommend doing. I know some people find borders like it online or something, and stick them on everything from art to icons, but I don't know where they find them, so I have to do everything the hard way...

I think the original version looks more like an old photograph... but this version is just spiffy as hell. Gah, but you can draw pretty boys well. Love the hint of pink in his lips and cheeks, as well.

This is wonderfuly done.
I like the porcelain feel/look to the skin.
I also like the tones you used for the skin, so pale looking.

As for borders, if you were to look here on DA you could find
a lot of border brushes for download to use in photoshop if you wanted to do that.
I think your border looks wonderful, I wouldn't have guessed you made it. :)

The colored pencil, I am reluctant to concede, is NOT as good as this. But I still like it. It's probably the quality of the scan, but it looks more like an old photograph, whereas this looks more like a portrait. So both have their own ways of bringing things to mind.

:confused: Don't remember much of the family tree, but come to think of it, Sirius WAS named after someone in the family, wasn't he? So it was a family name, sort of.

I hate Bellatrix, but I could easily become in fatuated with her through your art; in the books, she seems screechy and annoying, but in your fanart, she's got grace and dignity and malice. More like a nasty witch. :) I've seen a couple artists give her more personality, but I can't connect any of it to the book character. :/ Which is a shame, because she would be a great character, evil or no.

Awwww I love birth versions. This one is especially nice because man the smoothness really adds to the "glow." What impresses me the most in this picture is his hair. It's so precise. Love!
