Recent Pictures by Maleficeurn:uuid:67193461-dfe0-bb97-8bb0-cf59c5b4b416Teenage Snape by Maleficeurn:uuid:4de38714-c551-2e8e-3510-d1fefedd7b9c2007-07-19T11:18:58-07:00Jup stunningly inventive title as always :-D
So... actually this was just to be a small practice sketch for another pic I wanted to do, but ya, I got bored.
A scene from Snape's memories from Harry's Occlumency lessons in Order of the Phoenix... teenie Snape sitting all sulky and bored in his bedroom... ah poor Snapie, nobody loves him (well, I do.) XD Had a lot of fun doing this picture, but I'm still not that good at drawing profiles :-/
I'm actually glad I finished this before Deathly Hallows comes out on Saturday (can't wait!)... who knows, after that I'm maybe too depressed to draw anything Potter related anymore. Or I'm getting ultra-inspired. Definitely hoping for the latter... so I wish everyone a nice Saturday and a good read!
Coloured in PSP 7 / Photoshop... can't remember where I got the foto of the trees in the background window from though.]]>Violet by Maleficeurn:uuid:ef5172f5-07bb-29f7-a5fd-bf52300217652007-06-20T11:51:43-07:00Um not sure this is the right category but yeah...
Just some random female character I doodled while supposed to be studying for my tests... And very creative name, I know XD
Colored in Paintshop Pro7/Photoshop. Background brushes by http://shadymedusa.deviantart.com/]]>Tia Dalma by Maleficeurn:uuid:bdd976f0-499c-9442-8725-98388d1a19242007-06-20T11:43:56-07:00Yes, I'm still ALIVE XD God, how long has it been since I've last uploaded something here? Long long time anyways!
Tia Dalma from the new Pirates of the Caribbean movies, she's one of my favourite characters from the series ^^ Improvised a lot for her dress, since I found it near impossible to get it as accurate as possible :) And hey I attempted to do a real background, too. Well, attempted.
Coloured with Paintshop Pro 7 and Photoshop.]]>Soichi Tatsumi by Maleficeurn:uuid:533e7201-7e49-0e50-39f7-4e93e44006f12006-08-28T10:55:22-07:00Dunno if anyone here knows that manga, but it's called Challengers in the English version I think. In German, it's been published under the name Kiss Me Student ^^ It's really one of my favourites, it's so funny. It's yaoi but quite harmless and subtle (mostly it's just comedy ^^) and even though Soichi is rather a back character he's my favourite character (well obviously I'm not the only one since the author Hinako Takanaga made a sequel with him as the protagonist because he was so popular with the fans ^^ It's slightly less subtle yaoi though *cough*)
The story is about young student Tomoe Tatsumi who's new in Tokyo and is looking for a place to stay while at university and by accident meets Mitsugu Kurokawa who falls in love with the naive and shy student at once. The main obstacle in the way of their (predictable) happy end is not only Tomoe's reluctance and total obliviousness to his advances, but mostly Tomoes overprotective and totally homophobe brother Soichi. God I can't do summaries to save my life...
Well as I said, it's more comedy than actual yaoi (okay still wouldn't read it if you can't stand it at all) and much fun to read. Don't know if it's been fully published yet in English, but it's 4 volumes ^^

And they played that song from the PotC soundtrack on the radio too :) Well like I said, just a quick pencil sketch and no reference ^^
I still don't really know what to think about the new Pirates movie, but I guess I like it ^^ Even if it's quite different from the first one but that's not always a bad thing. Can't wait for the third one :)
--- Colored in Paintshop Pro 7 / Photoshop ---]]>Hawk King Sizer by Maleficeurn:uuid:a68d4f18-dbfe-14b2-d066-c8e68b87ea1a2006-07-07T10:50:30-07:00Long time no see, eh? ^^ Been quite lazy lately... not more than usual but still...
I finally found online scans of The Violonist of Hameln in English, yay ^^ http://passioncrane.blogspot.com/2005/10/violinist-of-hameln.html (up to vol. 14) It's really a shame it's never been published here in Europe, I really love it and it's got such interesting characters... my favourite being Sizer (how predictable) even though her outfit was really tough to draw somehow... but I love her scythe ^^
Colored in Photoshop / Paintshop Pro 7.]]>Dark Elf by Maleficeurn:uuid:3a897a25-8bc8-ae50-78a3-8056a93fe9fa2006-06-23T15:40:15-07:00Whooo most inventive title of the century XD Slightly older pic... I wanted to upload this some times now, but always found bits that I didn't like but finally decided it really wasn't worth the fuss and just upload it. So there are some mistakes (lol that waist is waaaaaaaay to narrow, even for an elf XD) but ya... like it overall, so yes... And even though I took the Eye of Mordor from some random Lord of the Rings screencap, she has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings whatsoever :) Just found it looked fancy with the rest...
Colored in Photoshop and PSP 7]]>HBP - By The Lakeside by Maleficeurn:uuid:f7bae88a-479c-e2d5-a681-d4dedbf7f8c82006-06-23T15:24:46-07:00^^ Just felt like doing a nice and summerly pic and ya... blame it on my I-pod who kept playing mushy lovesongs all the time XD
Anyway... I never really cared about pairings in Harry Potter books, I mean all the fuss about HBP and the whole Harry/Hermione shippers (don't have anything against them, just the fanatical ones XD) it just really made me laugh. Well but I always though Harry and Ginny'd make a cute couple ^^ So I rather like how it came out, even if the leaves look a bit dodgy but ya...

(... duh I hope this doesn't turn up multiple times afterwards but I seem to have real trouble uploading this -_-)]]>Harry & Hedwig by Maleficeurn:uuid:b5d88181-3f66-65e6-1a3e-b7fe307456912006-06-09T15:11:45-07:00Gah I really begin to suspect that FAC hates me >_> Still having problems uploading pics, either I get an error message or nothing happens at all. Ah well.. maybe I'm lucky this time XD Good thing I copied the description (I do get really paranoid what with Firefox crashing all the time and the site not working properly)
Well this was actually more of a quick sketch but I decided to color it nevertheless. Somehow I really like drawing Harry ^^ (though he's by far not one of my favourite characters) especially his hair lol. And he's wearing one of Mrs Weasleys's handknitted sweaters... yay for handknitted sweaters! My mum always made me ones with cool Disney motives on it when I was younger ^^ Couldn't remember if his was green or red in the books, but well... thought green'd fit nicely :) Lol and nevermind about that window sill... it looks way too narrow for anyone to sit on, but hey... it's a magical school after all XD
I absolutely hate how Hedwig turned out though... I guess I kept a bit too close to the reference pic... somehow she really doesn't fit with the style of the rest of the pic o_O And hasn't got enough detail as well. But ya... I suck at drawing birds. Or animals in general actually. It also didn't really help that all the time I had the mental image of that infamous 'O rly' owl in my head while drawing lol.

Ya so after long last, I've finally managed to draw something again, go me XD No seriously it's been really annoying but I just couldn't find the inspiration or energy to draw something halfway decent.
So for the pic... it was actually meant to be a bigger one of the Second Task but ya... gave up on it halfway and so for now there's just an oddly looking Harry XD Had fun doing this one though... even if I totally screwed up on the feet which I just couldn't get to look remotely flipper-like without them looking utterly ridiculous. Which they still do btw XD

Even if he looks way too pretty to be Snape lol. Colored in Paintshop Pro.]]>Voldemort... again :) by Maleficeurn:uuid:9e0053f6-0e0d-57b5-44cb-14688bddbb862006-03-04T15:31:41-08:00^^ Jup just another pic of dear ol' Voldemort. Because there can never be too many Voldemort pics around here lol. Well actually I was just practicing a bit for my other Voldemort pictures, but I liked this one and colored it (also because I was really bored and had nothing better to do) so ya... Reminds me I really should do some more HP art but I just can't find any motivation and inspiration for that right now. Colored in PSP 7 and Photoshop. BG brushes from http://shadymedusa.deviantart.com/]]>Christina by Maleficeurn:uuid:c7e6aa50-61de-c4e7-9128-0a879eddd4142006-03-04T15:24:41-08:00... Aguilera? Well dunno... actually wasn't really supposed to look like anyone in particular, as I was just doodling around, but it does look a bit like her ^^ Done quite quickly so I didn't pay too much attention to details. Done in Paintshop Pro and Photoshop. And I don't know where I got the nice ornamental brush (lol actually just there to distract from any mistakes in the anatomy) sorry ^^<br />
<br />
And sooooooooorry I haven't done or submitted any new stuff, I'm just so lazy right now. And a bit uninspired too :)]]>The Mad Scientist by Maleficeurn:uuid:6ae8a448-56c1-92a7-1d73-0713c6cbefd92006-01-23T13:24:50-08:00Who doesn't love mad scientists, lol? Yep yet another Millenium pic from Hellsing (noooooooo I'm not obsessed at all with evil nazi baddies ;) but yeah, I just love Doc's design ^^ And mad evil doctors in general :) Not happy with the background though. And his legs look a bit odd too. Colored in PSP7 and Photoshop, BG texture from http://www.ofthesky.net/tre-xture.htmland blood brushes from http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20739863/]]>Kaleesh warrior by Maleficeurn:uuid:b8c5638e-227a-0205-7dc2-97f151a95c242006-01-23T13:14:57-08:00Soooooooo I felt like I needed to submit something at long last, it's been quite a while (still lazy as ever) even if it's only older stuff ^^<br />
<br />
Boy I must've been really bored if I started drawing Star Wars OCs (though not bored enough to come up with a name for them) lol. Actually this was a sketch I did, while reading my Star Wars Visionaries comic, which also features a story about General Grievous and shows how he and his people, the Kaleesh looked like --> http://starwars.wikicities.com/images/e/e0/Grievous_original.jpg ^^ Yep like I said, I was bored. And she's not supposed to be anyone special, just a random character lol. Grievous' sister, his wife, his mother, his grandmother (okay maybe not) who knows ;)<br />

Thought I'd upload at least one last picture for this year. Damn me for being so lazy... Anyway, it took me long enough to finally finish it, but that's mainly because I had almost forgotten about it :) I finally did a half-way decent pic of one of my favourite HP characters (who doesn't happen to be a bad guy, go figure!), yay! Uh, never mind his arms, they're screwed up. And his hands too >_< Why, WHY do I never notice these things when drawing the pic, but only after finishing the coloring, when it's too late to fix it?! Ah well, all in all it came out not too bad. Paintshop Pro and Photoshop, with a BG texture from http://www.ofthesky.net/tre-xture.html<br />

BTW - Have a very Happy New Year 2006 ^_^]]>Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi by Maleficeurn:uuid:c012823c-f976-c35f-2735-20bd6e67b9a32005-11-29T15:50:43-08:00Thought I'd finally upload some more stuff since I've been so lazy lately ;) Anyway... one of my first Star Wars pics actually ^^ Colored in Paintshop Pro 7 and Photoshop.]]>Voldemort Returns by Maleficeurn:uuid:d4541627-e7d1-1902-7900-80728b464fcc2005-11-24T11:49:49-08:00Jep another Goblet of Fire Graveyard pic. It didn't turn out quite like I wanted but yeah, I think it's not bad :) Drawing Voldemort is such fun, and I liked doing his robes (oh yeah I've been watching Disney's Hercules a bit too often ;) The background... well at least it's a bit more detailed than most of the ones I usually do ;) I can't draw that tombstone right it seems. Wormtail (it was supposed to be him but in the end it could be anyone actually...) looks alright, but yeah, was too lazy drawing him properly (but I can't draw him anyway) :) Colored in Paintshop Pro and Photoshop.]]>GOF - "I can touch him now..." by Maleficeurn:uuid:482eb5d2-99da-a934-b2ed-a8cb76c513d32005-11-22T10:21:58-08:00Duh, stupid title... but I couldn't think of anything suitable right now. Haven't uploaded anything for some days now, sorry. Partly because I'm lazy, partly because I've been busy. Mostly lazy, though ;) Anyway, I did find the time to go watch GOF twice though ^^ Jep and my favourite part was - predictably - the Graveyard scene. It was so creepy, just perfect ^^ Yeah and Ralph Fiennes was brilliant as Voldemort... This was partly inspired by the movie, the tombstone and Voldemorts robes for example but yeah... dunno that tombstone came out weird. And yes it is supposed to be a tombstone. When I first saw it in a trailer, I thought it was a Dementor o_O I love that tombstone, even though I wonder why anyone would chose such a creepy one. Yeah, I would probably, but I'm weird ;) Colored in Paintshop Pro 7 and Photoshop.]]>Alucard - from The Dawn by Maleficeurn:uuid:0e9c079b-b100-c13d-42c7-cef1a42557182005-11-19T06:12:48-08:00Awwww doesn't he look pretty ^^ LOL really, he looks so gay ;) But I somehow like his look. I always wanted such a nifty hat ^^<br />
<br />
So, as far as I know 'The Dawn' is a kind of prequel of Hellsing. Haven't read it yet, though, since I can't find it anywhere. If anyone could tell me where I could find it (online shops or manga scans - in English preferably) it would be cool :)<br />
<br />
And yep, another pic I never finished, I started inking it once but that was shortly before my PC crashed o_O Might do it one day though. Or if anyone would like to color it, feel free ^^]]>Draco and the Slytherins by Maleficeurn:uuid:c6435904-223e-5fa8-ba18-ca8dc7b557852005-11-18T10:15:49-08:00Actually that title kinda sounds like it could be the title of a band :) "Draco and the Slytherins"... reminds me of that band "Harry and the Potters" :) I really don't know why I drew Draco again. I don't like him. At all. But ya... he's fun to draw anyway. Hehe and Crabbe and Goyle too. Colored in PSP7 and Photoshop, brushes for the background from http://www.shadymedusa.org/ ^^]]>Rip & Schrödinger by Maleficeurn:uuid:5a22c41e-ea9d-0e71-4f91-7fb3e978d8842005-11-16T13:46:47-08:00"OMG it's teh evil Nazis again" o_O But yeah, there is really not enough Millenium fanart in the Hellsing section, sadly. Gotta love Schro ^^ He's so cute. He may be an evil nazi cat-boy, but he's a cute evil nazi cat-boy :) Colored in PSP 7 and Photoshop.]]>Clopin by Maleficeurn:uuid:82031b1a-c379-54a4-6873-e00e10d495c32005-11-16T13:30:20-08:00Some ooooooold Hunchback of Notre Dame pic ^^! Okay, maybe not *that* old but still... well, it's not one of my favourites but I think it's quite okay. Except for the background, it's horrible, but yeah, that's what I get for being so lazy :) Colored in Paintshop Pro.]]>The Triwizard Tournament by Maleficeurn:uuid:e09d7ef6-8d15-a912-9510-8c5f96e1c6b82005-11-16T13:26:42-08:00^^ Yep another Goblet of Fire pic! Because I won tickets for the premiere of GOF tomorrow, yay ^^ I'm so happy, happy, HAPPY ;) So anyways, actually I just wanted to do some practice sketches of the diff. characters but yeah, somehow this came out o_O I really like Fleur ^^ And doesn't Harry just look ecstatic about it all? :) Colored in PSP 7 and Photoshop, background textures from http://www.ofthesky.net/tre-xture.html]]>
