Description
Ill make this snappy because onnce again its 2:00am and Im dead tired and I have to wake up for work at 6:30!!!So i went back after receiving some critiques on the proportions of my hp lineart and made some minor adjustments before adding colors. I sort of took a different, painterly approach to the colors on this and seeing as it took me so much time Id really like some critiques. If your on a premium membership please take a few minutes of your time just to give me some feedback
Thanks!

This piece is amazing!
The colours are very dynamic, your shading and lighting in the clothes and hair really bring this piece together with background.
I really like the way you've put the heavy lines of the birds between the background characters and Harry, Hermione and Ron giving them the centre attention, but still leading your eye to the rest in the background.
I think you've really captured characters personalities, with their 'trademark' expressions, which I think has been enhanced with your style and the thick lines.
The only thing, I find slightly unbalanced with this piece is how cramped it looks on the left side compared to the right side, with gap between Hermione and Voldemort. It seems like maybe another character could have been placed there, or a rearrangement of the characters you have?
Other than that, overall this piece is great! Very well done!!

Ensemble and character diversity are a plus. Color contrasts between clothes and background are excellent. It feels like it could be a movie poster or promotional. Really like the opposite positions taken by Dumbledore and Voldemort. You could have used more characters, but it might be too crowded as well. So impressions stand out where Ron isn't too confident after breaking a wand and Hermione well she shines with her know-it-all status. However it is Harry that's leading the way against Voldemort and reflects the montage used in OotP during the last confrontation at Ministry for Magic HQ. Well done!

Absolutely spectacular!
My absolute favorite part of this picture has got to be Voldemort, you've captured him perfectly from his slits for nostrils to his expression.
The silhouettes of the owls and Hogwarts are a nice touch and the background is incredible!
There isn't much I can say in way of critique, there are a few things I personally would have done differently however.
For example Hermione's wand is the only one glowing, which artistically makes sense seeing as Ron's is broken and if Harry's were glowing it would block part of his face. Still, I feel her wand glow is a bit unnecessary and (almost) takes away from that part of the picture as a bit of a distraction.
Ron's wand looks kind of like it went limp rather then snapped, the angle just doesn't feel right to me.
All and all this is an amazing piece of fanart and I adore it! Keep up the amazing work!

Hehe thank you so much fo the critique! voldemort was my fav to paint
I agree with the wand taking away from hermiones part of the image, its a little too bold against the otherwise dark image.
And I see what your saying about Rons wand. Thanks alot I really appreciate this!

It's very rare to find a related HP Image!
The background fits really good to the light that comes out of Hermiones wand. The characters have the typical "accent" of the artist, like the nose, the eyes or the details in the Image. But it looks very accurate with the original human characters of the movie.
Haha and I also noticed that there are also some details from the elder movies like the broken wand of Ron in the part "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".
I like the effects in the Image, the shadings, the light in the perfect spots and stuff, very good!
All in all, I think it's a really good piece of work!

As the first comment says, the colours are absolutely amazing.
The contrast you have going between light and dark leaves nothing to be desired. You have created a wonderful piece here.
You have cleverly incorporated parts of different books here, such as Ron's broken wand versus, is that a patronus?
You have kept a relative balance between the characters positions on the picture giving it a slightly symmetrical look which is pleasing to the eye.
I love the way you have drawn Tom Riddle/Voldemort, he looks so evil with the way the shadows fall across his face, and how he is looking backwards rather than forwards.
You remembered Dumbledore's twinkle andhave captured his expression perfectly.
McGonagall as always, is stern yet happy, and Snape... Well Snape is Snape xD
Well done e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Awww, poor Ron. With a broken wand like his, he won't be able to cast spells at all.

The line art is pretty great now and most of the colors are stunning. The one issue I see is Mcgonnigal, there should be a shadow of the brim of her hat because it's so wide, it would cast a shadow on her face.

I wish i could do an official critique, but unfortunatly, I am not an "official subscriber", but I'll just do a comment critique!
I honestly lit up when i saw this in my inbox! I love the poster style art for HP, and this does not disapoint! all of the characters are amazing, and you can tell that alot of care went into every one! the only one that I find just a tad lacking is McGonagal (spelled wrong, which is sad since i effin' LOVE HER), i fell like her features need to be a little softer, and less exaggerated. I think that is the only thing that struck me as needing some work, but over all this is fantastic, and I must say that you are really talented (:
ps. I love the lightning in the sky behind Voldemort and Dumbledore!

I saw the original line art for this, so it's great to see it coloured!
I really like the traditional media effect with the colouring, it really suits the piece. I think it's also cool that you added your own twist on how the characters look rather than having them look exactly like the cast.

Ron's broken wand... oh memories for that. Tries to give Draco slugs instead gives it to himself. Same thing got Lockhart except it was a memory erasure type spell and Lockhart wiped his own memories instead. He's later shown in another book as being in St. Mungo's.
Ultimately it is a very colorful work and the ensemble look suits it. I'm not that scared of Voldemort's appearance, honestly Dementors creep me out way more and of course Emperor Palpatine in as he looked in Return of the Jedi.
