Yet Another WIP Snape and Other Randomness

[qui_quae_quod]

More mucking about with GIMP. 

We once again have a more nasally endowed Reznor as Snape.  This is the scene where he hears the fated prophecy while eavesdropping at the Hog's Head.

I'll post the full size painting on deviantArt.

Since I've started to mess around with digital painting, everywhere I look I see people and photos that I'd love to play with and paint.   Today while listening to music, I kept thinking about bands that would make great DE group portraits or a lead singer that would look good as Snape.  The first to come to mind was Lux Interior (who very recently passed away :(...may he rest in peace) and Poison Ivy of the band The Cramps.  This would make a fun Snape and Hermione painting:


Another was Dave Vanian of The Damned:
 


Neither have the nose, but that can be remedied.  *evil grin*  On a random note, these photos of Vanian are from the 80's.  I can't help but to wonder if TIm Burton was a Damned fan.  Sweeney Todd totally had Dave Vanian hair!

That's fabulous!! It really does capture the look of someone listening to something fascinating at a door, and is very Snape-like.

I've started messing about more with photoshop, but it's really time-consuming and I don't have anything to show for it yet...

Thanks H! :)

Yes, it is time consuming, but very relaxing. It's been a nice release for me. I need to get photoshop! GIMP has been pretty handy though, so I think I can live without it for a while.

I hope all is well for you!

*squees* I love it, look at his hair. You have mastered the hair *G* He really makes a good model for Snape ;)

I saw in your comment about working on them is relaxing, same here. I have to work on something each night. It's so calming for me, it gives me a chance to unwind.

Do you think it's to early to start packing for July yet?

hugs,

*hugs* Thanks! Now, I wish I could do eyebrows. :)

It is very relaxing! I'm glad I found this outlet...I needed it. It's better turning into zombie!qui and sitting in front of the telly.

July seems so far away, but I know it'll be here in the blink of an eye!
