I couldn’t decide between headcanoning James as having been Indian or black, and then I realized that that’s literally not a real problem, so I now headcanon that James was mixed. Which makes Harry mixed between white, black, and Indian, muggleborn, and pureblood, but raised by white muggles.

I used my two favorite Harry artists: jam-art’s Harry, and simrell’s Harry; as well as Indraneil Senguptas’s gorgeous face, as references, and I’m ridiculously happy with how this came out.

I saw this on Twitter, and HAD to find the original! This made me so incredibly happy.

I was introduced to the series by audio tape. We rented the audio book from a store by the Supercuts. Book one was three boxes, two cassettes each. I had no reference for the cover, or the font, as everything came in Blockbuster like boxes with generic labels, like they had no cover art. Business name, phone number, address, book name, box #/#. In my case, 1/3. White paper, blue ink.

And I always imagined Harry with actual lightning as a scar! Just like here! Traces across his forehead, something obvious, and important. It was a big attack, it left a big scar, right?

After a box, rather than listening to the tape and going back and forth to the store, I got the book itself instead. Collected all the coins and bills I could find. Bought it at the Walden’s. Read it by flashlight under the blanket. I think I finished the book by morning.

This was 1999. I was what, 10, 11? Just really starting to get into wild fantasy and magic. I’m reading and writing at a crazy pace, I’ve got The Fellowship of the Ring sitting in the corner waiting for a moment because the first chapter was too many names to consume in one sitting. I’m a kid high on meds for ADD and tourette meds. My brain makes pictures out of pictures and won’t shut up about new ideas to write about!

So imagine that, and seeing a pasty white boy, and a little scar. I wanted better. I’m not much of an artist, but I loved to write. So I made fanfiction. I lost that spark. And I miss it.

Then I see THIS amazing artwork, and it’s everything I imagined as a kid! This piece is wonderful, and exciting, and brought back a lot of happiness for me.

Sorry for the long comment. Hope you don’t mind me rambling under it. This design made me unbelievably happy, and I really wanted to give you a compliment.

Like this post and this post, I was working on ref designs for another one of our homebrew fantasy races, this time Corvions. They use inspiration from corvids and chameleons, and can have various feathered patterns on their faces. 

The gorget-style fashion pieces on their necks are a cultural holdover from a neighboring country to their own homeland, which many corvion have adopted.

psyduck is probably like. the most achievable pokemon probably. like i don’t think i could teach a cabbage to grow legs and be a bulbasaur but there’s probably a certain threshold of mental torment i could subject a duck to that would make a psyduck

“what about rattata” “what about wooloo” “what about pidgey” none of you understand me or my art. i don’t mean animals that look like pokémon or could be dressed up like ones i’m explicitly talking about what i could do to an animal that would make it capable of performing destructive psychic attacks
