Voldemort

I recently finished all of the Harry Potter books. Yes, I audio booked them, but its the best way to be productive and live inside the covers of a book at the same time. Originally, I was one of those guys who carried a mild loathing for the whole Harry Potter nonsense. Yes, you might be thinking that I generally saw the whole thing like the Dursley's saw wizardry, but that's not the whole case. Fandom that borderlines on obsession is never healthy. I know... I used to be the biggest Anime Otaku of all time. However, it was not this that made me resist (those far too enthused fans were just a turn off, not a full show stopper). It was more to the fact that I had been reading books like 'Wheel of Time' by Robert Jordan and the 'Shannarah Series' by Terry Brooks. These books are much more high fantasy and pull me in much more than hearing about Harry Potter and his f-ed up under-the-stairs living situation (I would have raised hell if I were him).
Then, with the mixture of my new wife's subtle encouragements, joined with our going to Harry Potter World in Orlando this last summer, helped me decide that it was finally time to see what all the fuss was about. I must say that it was a rather fun read/ listen, and even though it probably won't go down as one of my favorite book series in the world, it will remain high on the list.

I started drawing people from the series. So first off.... here is Lord Voldemort. Maybe I will color it at some point. Not sure.

some more little musicians and a prize for the right guesses!

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!

Mandi Perkins facebook messaged me due to some blogging issues, but since its the first and only right answers received I am giving it to her. So congratulations Mandi! 

For anyone else wondering, here is the order

from left to right, schubert, rossini, berlioz, wagner, tchaikovsky, debussy

Thanks for playing and stay tuned, as I will do more giveaways in the future! :)

Some Musicians I did for work. Can anyone guess who these guys are? If anyone can get them all right then I will make one for you. Yup, a drawing of you or whoever you want. Post guesses below or e mail them to me at the e mail located over here: ------------------------------------------------------------------>>>>

(If you work with me then you can't do this though or you will just look at the names psssssshhhhhhhtttt!) :p

Update:

Since people had a hard time figuring these out I am adding a list here of various names to chose from. First one to POST those names in the right order going left to right on the images wins.

Names:

Vivaldi

Beethoven

Haydn

Handel

Rossini

Wagner

Mozart

Debussy

Tchaikovsky

Bach

A work in progress...

Mummy Mo mummy

I made this and some 20 other Halloween themed illustrations for a Halloween coloring book that is available as an app. I figured I should color one up and here it is.

Beethoven got some attitude

I am just working on some more music stuff for class. I liked the way this little Beethoven turned out. I kind want a League of Leagands character based of an angry little Beethoven! Then I might actually play something other than Ashe.

Pierce from Community

I have been a fan of Chevy Chase for ages. Ever since my dad and I would watch National Lampoons Vacation films when my mom was out of the house and could not cast her disapproving vote. Of course now days it just makes me happy to see him as Pierce on Community. As an assignment in Ryan Woodward's Character Design class we were assigned to do a Caricature study of someone famous. I used this chance to explore some Chevy Chase. This illustration was done pretty fast. I think 45 min-ish, maybe an hour after the touch up in photoshop.
