This is something I did for a contest at a Russian fansite. The theme was First Time, and this is Harry's first time seeing a Thestral.

I'd like to thank the wonderful cabepfir for all the advice and hints she'd given me on this. They were invaluable. I didn't manage to use all of them - not because I was lazy or in a hurry, but rather, because I'm not

Now that's a Thestral!!!!!

Stop beating yourself up. You are leaps ahead of me.

Hee, thanks, D!
And if I'll stop beating myself up, I may stop altogether :))))
Then again, all these Russian artists are so goddamned talented, that I just keep crying in the dusty dirty corner of jealousy :))))))

Well I have the same thing hon. =)

Wow! As always, I find your artwork gorgeous. Your Thestral is awe-inspiring, and I love how Hogwarts in the background is sort of back lit by light.And you have really captured the look of wonder on Harry's face. It's sad to think what one has to witness to be able to see the Thestrals. Great job, thanks for sharing with us. ;)

Aww, thanks! I'm sorry to be so late in replying, but better late than never. This made me smile.

It's beautiful! The thestral is just perfect and you gave Harry such a frailty... It's great work!

[windwingswrites]

thank you! Now that you've said it, Harry does look kind of frail :)

Wow! Love the thestral - he's scary and intriguing at the same time, and I love the red tones you have used on him! Overall, this whole piece speaks of Hogwarts and Harrypotter-ness. Thanks to you! :D

[windwingswrites]

Thank you! And thank you again for all the lovely tips you've given me on light and colours and anatomy and everything else.
