HP: Grindelwald's Defeat

[Full View]

"No, Gellert. Death is no longer an option."

This picture took very little time and effort to paint, but I figured I hadn't posted anything in a while. Like I so accurately described on deviantART, I tried to mix Mary Grandpré with Edward Hopper and anime, and I don't particularly like the result.

Any opinions on the style? Or the subjects?

P.S. Classes start tomorrow. College has been very campy so far. And exhausting. Hopefully, that will change by next week.

Oh, I quite like the style of this. It's very emotive, portrays the angst of the setting quite well. Don't talk yourself out of it too quick, yeah?

I think it's quite nice. I can see doing a more detailed work later (if you're so inclined), but you're certainly off to a nice start. There's a lot of emotion there.

Oh, I love it! Every single stroke of it. Seriously, I can't stop staring at it. <3

:D I really like it. Their expressions, their body language, the thrashing of the sea--it all reflects some sort of turmoil and everything just goes together perfectly. <33 The style and dark colors compliment to serious mood of the picture very well. It's lovely!

Oh. I love it, actually. And the half-manic smile on Gellert's face that I imagine he had when Voldemort came to visit.

It's beautiful, and appropriately angsty.

I have to say I'm a particular fan of expression/impressionism, so this really is lovely to me! I love it the way it is! I absolutely love how Painter can achieve such an effect...

*adds to faves on D*A* It makes me want to cry for some reason, the look in Dumbledore's eyes...

Beautiful and I especially like the pained look in Albus face!

Beautiful!

I am currently working on the fanlist for Grindelwald/Dumbledore. Would you mind if I use this for the layout? I would give
you full credit, of course, if you'd allow it!

Nope, I wouldn't mind. In fact, I'd be flattered. And I'd love to see the site, even if you don't use this image. :)

I like. Dumbledore looks weary, and aged by what he's had to do; Grindelwald is thoroughly beaten.

Yeah, you're totally looking more like Mary GP, but I thought that Dumbly had the old hair by the time he had to go for gellert, at least, in my head.

He didn't have the "old hair". In CoS, when describing Dumbledore in 1943, it describes his hair and beard as being auburn. He defeated Grindelwald just two years later, in 1945, so presumably they were still auburn.
