🍬Professor Dumbledore🍬
Believe it or not, this one took a long time to make (whaaaaat, it's only been like twenty days since Madam Pomfrey came online! That's nothing... > note the sarcasm here). I know, it took a while to figure out how I wanted Dumbledore to look. I had a good idea of the 'vibe' I wanted him to portray. It was the costume I struggled with. Drawing long robes and making them look somewhat personal/fashionable isn't the easiest thing to do. He is a very respected man and I wanted him to look responsible. However, he's also described as somewhat mad... so he needed to have something 'cooky' as well. You see my dilemma.
I ended up with something of a formula: he wears long robes, like Gandalf, but the robes are very sophisticated. There are patterns, colours, embroidery and jewels. The robes are tied with fancy rope or a belt. Not to mention he wears a pointy hat because he's a stereotypical old wizard :)
Dumbledore has always been a fascinating character to me. Very duplicitous. He tells the truth but withholds it too. He lies, but we’re unsure if it’s for the benefit of someone else or himself. He protects Harry but puts him in danger as well.
I’ve never really agreed with the idea of him being a father figure. He’s not parental. Dumbledore is a scholar, first and foremost. He craves knowledge and would sooner watch events unfold if it means gaining wisdom from it.
That’s what makes Dumbledore so complicated, yet fascinating.
Now, a few final words. Something I DO NOT understand about the Fantastic Beasts films..
WHO decided it was a good idea to put Dumbledore in these gentlemanly muggle clothes when he was teaching at Hogwarts, when we fully know that he was born and raised a WIZARD, teaches at a MAGIC school with ✨MAGICAL ✨MAGIC AND MAGIC. ✨🔮⚡️
It does not explain how he evolved to 'long bearded' 'half-moon glasses ' 'purple robes' Headmaster Dumbledore at a later age🧐
I love most of the costumes from Fantastic Beasts, but this I simply cannot condone 🙄

Regulus for @fircbolts ‘s DTIYS on instagram // i was first going to draw him playing piano but I actually love pairing Regulus with the deep soothing sounds of a cello. There’s something dark and romantic about the cello but also sombre. I think that suits Regulus well. What instrument do you think Reggie would play? //

🐉 A Brief History of Dragons by Eyra🐉
I read this fic last summer and it was so pretty. It’s super short and sweet and it was just what I needed at the time. It’s Wolfstar meets Arthurian legend, in a modern AU.
I wanted to do some more book covers for my portfolio, so I made this one.
I want to thank @eyra for the beautiful story, I loved it. This one is for you✨💛
Here’s a little work in progress for this cover.
Ps: I’m working on Andromeda right now, I’ve had a busy week. Hang in there💛

"And it might have been a good idea to mention how ugly you think I am, too,” Hermione added as an afterthherought.
“But I don’t think you’re ugly,” said Harry, bemused. Hermione laughed.
