new icon

[averygoodun42]

I've been drawing, albeit badly, lately, and last night, with nothing better to take my limited attention, I worked on my latest drawing a bit. I need to take a better quality photo so that I can work on it in more detail, but in the meantime, I came up with the icon above.

It's my Snape. The one from SMHC. With short hair.

I don't know whether I'll successfully salvage the entire drawing, but I will say that I'm happy with how Snape looks right now. :-)

No fancy animation or anything like that... I haven't learned that stuff yet.

There's also this more cartoony version:

I love it! The sharpness of his cheekbone, the shadow under his jaw ... it's a beautiful drawing.

Erm... I may be mistaken, but this Snape strongly reminds me of that famous Renaissance portrait of Federico de Montefeltro, although ol' Guido is looking the other way. *scuttles off to find link to post*
Here it is. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diptychon_des_Federico_da_Montefeltro_mit_seiner_Gattin_Battista_Sforza

Funny - there is a similarity and there isn't. Strange how the subconscious works...

Coolness! I love being compared to masterpieces! Or rather, I love reminding people of the msterdpiedces!

I like the cartoony version better.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Why? Is it the graphic style you like more or is there something wrong with the less cartoony one?

[zalena.livejournal.com]

I like the graphic style better, it's more 'iconic.' [Snort laugh.] That's not just a joke, I mean it. The pun was unintentional until I realized what I'd typed.

Oh, and I'm not being defensive. I'm honestly curious.
