[Art] - Broken

[kasche]

Title: Broken
Characters: James Potter
Rating: G
Notes: Some of you might remember this - quite a long time ago, I did a picture for the "broken" prompt, for fanart100. I've been going through old stuff for the website I'm putting up, looking what was viewable and what could use a fix. The old pic could use a fix.

I ended up redoing it entirely.

I am me.

Fanart 100
Prompt n°071: Broken

table of prompts

(A drawing that actually fits in the page. I'm having troubles believing it.)

Old pic's notes:
James, at his parents' funeral. Actually, there is a reason behind his wearing a suit opposed to a robe. While, if I'm not mistaken, JKR stated in an interview that James' parents' death wasn't tied directly to Voldemort, the war (its premises, at the very least) were there already. I can see James as someone only able to deal with his pain by turning it in anger. And didn't I just bore you to death.

(I don't think they apply that much anymore, though - especially about the anger, in this version it's not really there. It was a very quick drawing - I don't think I spent much more than half an hour on it. Yeah, for me half an hour is VERY quick. :P)

Oh, James. *hugs him* What I like here is that you've managed to capture both his grief and his inner strength. ♥

So strong and sorrowful; I can't say enough about his hair, so I won't say anything. Amazing and evocative as always. *sighs*

Also, I colored this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/ph33r7h3r34p3r/James--Kasche.jpg) out of extreme boredom earlier this evening. Just letting you know.

*cringes* I'm really sorry about not having answered the other comment - that month has been pretty much fucked up, and I forgot to come back and answer these. :(

And awwww, that's lovely! :D Thank you so much!

Taking a while to respond is not a crime -- life happens, you know?

Glad you liked the coloring :)
