Art Post -- Worksafe... but a bit iffy.
Title: The More You Pay
Artist:
cluegirl
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character: Draco Malfoy
Rating: PG-13. You could show your boss and not get fired, but your kid would probably ask uncomfortable questions.
Disclaimer: We all know who owns the Harry Potter universe. I'm not pretending to be her, so let's not get shirty, shall we?
Artist's note: Some five years back (or so,) I drew this portrait of Lucius Malfoy for
gmth, as a thanks for her having let me, a complete unknown, play in on the very first
merry_smutmas. Now that the canon is essentially finished, I decided to add another page to the family album. I did use a photo reference, and I promise the kiss of your choosing to anyone who can name the model I used. (I make this promise being quite sure nobody will do, because it isn't who you think. No, really, he just drifted in that guy's direction, is all.) Also, if my layout truncates the view, just right-click and select 'view image', and that should clear it up.
Media: Chalk pastels and Prismacolors on grey paper.
Feedback: YES! Please feed the artist's muse.
Archiving/ iconning/ web-use: Sure. Just let me know that you're doing it, and where I can see the finished piece, and do NOT take my signature off, and it's all good.

and here's my ref guess: brad pitt? :3
It doesn't quite grab me the way the Lucius portrait did, and the Draco in my head has thinner lips, but I love the hard despair of him. He's so curled in and slack, except for his wand hand, which is clenched, as if he's not part of his power at all.
The model...er... sorta wondering if it's someone like a young Jude Law or Leonardo DiCaprio, but that's a very weak guess :).
Do you mind if I icon it, assuming I a)find the time, and b) credit?
*drools politely*
Not to mention the purrrrr ...
And he's got the Dark Mark! And did I mention I LOVE his eyes? :-)
This is beautiful. I adore his eyes and lips.
Thanks so much for posting this.
* I'm sure you still like to hear it though.

You are so freaking talented!
Love it! Your reference reveal quite surprised me. Nifty. :D
