Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are wildly unsubtle and will probably set fire to you or something. :D

Art trade with the very talented Lauren, who I work with at TT now. :D She asked me to draw everyone's favourite wizard-come-private-detective, Harry Dresden... OH NO, FANART FROM LIKE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SERIES, HOWEVER DID I COPE. xD This is more or less how I imagine him... Most of the versions I've seen make him too young and handsome, I think. Dresden needs to look like he's just been dragged through a hedge backwards, especially if that hedge is made of monster centipedes trying to kill him, and the only solution was to blow up said hedge, hedgerow, and neighbouring district of Chicago. Presumably with a suitable one-liner.

...I also discovered there's a reference to him in the Prestige, which is pretty damn rad.

Had plenty of fun with this, anyway. :D Textures from Lost and Taken.

Great Dresden pic. I like the colors and most of the linework looks great. The only things I would mention is that the fire could use a little work, as it is the shape of it doesn't seem quite right. Also Harry's nose and the top of his ears seem a little too pointed, I would maybe have rounded them out a little more.

Heh. Yeah, I thought about not mentioning it, but I was just trying to be constructive. Overall I still really enjoy the pic.

Well, I know nothing of The Dresden Files, but this guy looks pretty damn cool. I think the fire looks a bit too solid, like lava wrapping itself around the staff, but I think the piece is stylised enough for that not to be a huge problem. Anyway, nice work on the lighting overall. Pretty neat stuff! :)

I AM SORRY FOR NOT ANSWERING YOUR NOTES. D:

I'm just scared of giant notes/emails. xD I look at them, go 'I should read this', then go hide and forget about them. I WILL get to it, I promise!

Is that the next book? :O Excited. They're the only books around these days which I'll have read within a day of release. <3
