JulyViolet - Try Guys Dnd - Joshua the Dragonborn Wizard

And here we have the final piece in the Try Guys Dungeons and Dragons series drawn by JulyViolet and colored by me.  This one is the character used by Keith Hasberger, the character is named Joshua, a Dragonborn Wizard who is also a traveling artist. 

Try Guys Play Dungeons and Dragons

Coloring this one was a true challenge because of the fact that it was the first time that I had colored a reptilian/dragon creature.  After coloring and doing the shadings, the rest of the picture was pretty easy.  At least until when it came to the case of the background.  Just like the other peices, I wanted to put in references to the Try Guys animal mascots.  Such as Zach's Turtle, Eugene's Tiger, Ned's chicken/rooster, and this one is a Giraffe. 

After that, I wanted to make a reference to something else that Kieth has done, which is a hot sauce that is sold by the company called "the Heatonist".  Sold here:  Keith's Chicken Sauce

When it was all done, or at least when I thought it was done, I turned to my artist friend, Hooksnfangs, for thoughts, and thanks to their suggestion I put in highlights on the scales to give it a sensation of a reptillian texture.  After that, it was suggested to have something drawn in on the canvas and that was when I knew of one final thing to put in reference to the Try Guys; their logo of the Triceratops. 

And there we have it, the Try Guys Dungeons and Dragons series is finished.  My thanks to JulyViolet for their work. 

Note:  All characters depicted here are 18 years of age or older.

Meme - StarDragon77 Harry Potter Sorting

This is my own version of the Harry Potter House Sorting Meme that was setup by Moemai

Part of what has to be done with the meme is to pick which house you think that fits you, then you pick your favorite subject and your least favorite subject. I picked Divination because I don’t like the idea that the future is out of my control. Plus the fact that the class is guesswork at best. For my favorite at first I picked “History of Magic” because I always did well in history courses and I tend to watch the History Channel a lot (when they do programs about actual history). But then I rethought it and changed it to “Muggle Studies” since I’m also fascinated with things in our world, how they are made, what led to their development, and so on.

As for the house, originally I thought that Gryffindor would be a good fit for me. I do think courage is a valuable thing but the fact of the matter is that I’m not really all that brave. So looking to the other houses, I figured Ravenclaw would be better because of how they value intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit. Seems to be right up my alley.

Finally, the Patronus, I decided upon the rooster because for one it is something that I haven’t seen very much of in the other HP Sorting Memes. And I know some are going to make some crude jokes about that - so just to let you know I see them coming.

LadyViridis - Harry Potter and the Witch Named Emmanuelle

This is a piece that I had commissioned of a very wonderful artist by the name of LadyViridis

In the beginning I had gone to the forums and posted a message saying that I wanted to commission an artist who could mimic the styles of the Harry Potter covers.  My reasoning for this is because I wanted to make a cover for a fan fiction that I was doing called “Harry Potter and the Witch Named Emmanuelle”.

After I had spoken with FlameRaven and discussed the specifics of it, she went to work on it.  Those specifics were that I wanted to have Harry in Emmanuelle’s bedroom.  Though the funny thing is that this isn’t a Mary Sue fan fiction where Harry is with this woman named Emmanuelle.

The story is basically that I had created a series of events to happen within the 6th year but also I had re-written a few things here and there - but I won’t tell them all out here since that would detract anyone from reading it.  All I can say is that this witch named Emmanuelle is more like a new guide for Harry.

Also, as a small fact, Emmanuelle isn’t a character I created.  She is a character from another book by a woman named “Emmanuelle Arsan” who wrote about this woman who had various escapades into sexual discovery.

Anyway, the only thing I did to this one is the addition of the titles - which was rather tricky as far as the part that read “and the Witch named Emmanuelle” because I wanted it to be elegantly written.  Similar to the woman herself: elegant.
