Artist's Comments

I can completely empathize with poor Neville. He's got the be the character who is most relatable to myself. Sort of a loser, picked last for Quidditch, and a complete klutz. My cooking abilities rival that of Neville's potion making ability. My dog conveniently stands at my feet while I cook, knowing that there is a really good chance that I will drop something (yesterday it was macaroni, the day before, a bag of sun chips. lucky dog).

Anyway, this particular incident where Neville messes up his boil-removing potion has a particular connection to myself. When I was in Physics class, Junior year, we were in the lab. There were these beakers of acid set up, and we were to adjust them for some purpose (I don't remember what, I did terribly in this class). I was turning the little screw to make the beaker go up and down, when the beaker knocked loose and fell on this girl sitting at my table. I felt so horrible spilling acid on someone, and the fact that she hated me to begin with...well, let's just say it didn't improve her feelings towards me. Luckily she wasn't hurt, just her sweater. And it didn't turn her into a toad. Which is kind of too bad, really.

So Neville, I feel ya buddy. School's only purpose is to make one feel stupider, uglier, and less important than everyone else. And damn you,physics class! Science is for losers anyway!

Very, very lovely. The detail you put into your pictures never ceases to amaze me. Poor Neville! :).

I love Harry Potter :)

This is an AWESOME drawing. Good interpretation of the book :)

I like how I can see Parvati, Lavender and Dean in the background...with out even seeing their faces. Jo said she hated Chemistry in highschool and so she made potions tough. Chemistry sucks. And I sucked at it.

Hee! I love the smoke and melted cauldron, and the 'lab coats' over the robes are a great addition.
(And Snape looks so much like a stick-in-the-arse schoolmistress; it's hilarious. :D)

Somewhere, there is fun to be had.

This is a very nifty piece! Some of your perspective is a bit skewed, but given the detail and elaborate setting I can see where that would be easy to do. I really like how you've used a sepia tone rather than straight black & white - it gives the scene a unique feel.

Good job! :clap:

I hated the Arts and Crafts class; I accidentally poked the girl next to me with the welding thing and I was so annoyed at the way she went on and on about how it really hurt (I mean, it wasn't like I poked it right through or anything!) but we later became best friends. Anyway.
