Schmergo's Reader Art Challenge Entries

[Schmergo]

Here are some of the delightful pictures I've gotten from people. Not many entries yet... I'm hoping for more!

Remora made this awesome banner for all entrants:

If you entered, I'll slap your name on!

[Schmergo]

Here's Tim_The_Enchanter's beautiful group portrait of Potter's Pentagon, drawn by... Hitler? Tim also has several other gorgeous pictures that I will post separately.

I'd enter if I weren't such a bad artist

[Heidi Girl]

Really good picture, though not really how I pictured Emma, I always thought of her looking a lot like this British friend of mine, I'd enter, but I don't own a scanner.

Is that thing next to Haley's head

A) Someone standing behind Haley?
B) A motion blur?
or
C) A second head, a la Zaphod Beeblebrox?

And Emma looks a lot like Bri, but not a lot like Emma.

Also, what do the words say? They're really faint, and I can't read them. It's all down to you now, hawk-vision Schmergulla.

[Schmergo]

I really need to upload the rest of the pictures soon...

I don't think she looks at all like Emma, either, but it's an interesting interpretation. She doesn't look like Bri, though. The thing behind Haley's head is a motion blur.

The words say:

[RANDOM RUSSIAN] "Haley! Stop [censored]ing about and stay still!"-- Tim The Enchanter

Well, hello there!

This is the author, writing this post to comment on his own work. The original is much clearer and cleaner looking than what is posted, but you can't have everything, can you?

But I digress. The picture is called <i>The Five, Plus One</i>, the Five obviously being the fellows at top, and the plus one being the very frustrated artist at the bottom. I drew the characters as how I see them, but I forgot the small detail that Jordan is much shorter than I portrayed him to be. Here are some more useless titbits...

- As Schmergo confirmed, the thing behind Haley's head is... another head! It is the same head, however but blurred, and she has quite visibly eaten too much sugar.
- I hate drawing legs and feet for some reason. Also, you have no idea how many times I drew and redrew Ted's face.
- The "Random Russian" says БУГГЕР!

Anyway, I've drawn quite a few pictures for the <i>Potter's Pentagon</i> art challenge, so you haven't seen the end of me yet! HA HA HA UNDERPANTS!

'Tis a young Emma Weasley!

Edit: URGH! Must . . . fix . . . eyes!

[mousemaylikecheese]

I couldn't resist attempting a drawing of this, even though I warn you that I am not artistic whatsoever, especially with people, and the perspective is wonky:



The writing near the door says "DING-DONG". The caption is "...he leaned against the doorframe to think" I think Schmergo knows where this is from.

[timtheenchanter]

Salutations, people!

Well, I finally got a Photobucket account, so I can upload some of my own pictures now. Here's my second entry for the Schmergo Reader Art Challenge.

Of course, this is a picture of Jordan Potter playing his guitar "alone" in his dormitory.



Drawn with mechanical pencil on a piece of white printer paper.

OI!

Here's the third picture I drew for the Art Challenge. However, it requires a bit of explanation. When I was in London last year, I couldn't help but notice thousands of CIBA Contact Lenses advertisements in Tube stations and trains. The posters featured a woman with rather nice eyes looking at the camera, accompanied with the slogan, "For Eyes That Make Contact."

Here's my take on those posters, but with Tyrone Thomas instead...



Also drawn on printer paper with mechanical pencil.

Hello there, yet again!

Here's the fourth picture I drew for the Schmergo Reader Art Challenge. Like the previous picture, this too requires a bit of explanation. In a review I left for Potter's Pentagon Book Two, I talked at great length about a theory concerning a certain Tancred Apple - he was going to take over Muggle and Wizarding Britain and go on a world-conquering rampage.

So, this is a group portrait of Apple and a few cronies of his Greater Welsh Empire.



The phrase Cymru Am Byth is the Welsh national motto, meaning "Wales forever." This was drawn on printer paper with mechanical pencil.

yea, the only thing i can draw is stick figures, and not very well, that's how bad i am at drawing. anyway, Tim's drawings are really good! i also know two good friends of mine that can draw amazingly well.

[timtheenchanter]

Hello there!

Here's the last picture I drew for the Potter's Pentagon Art Challenge. Anyway, this is my take on that scene in Book Two in which "Tyrone Thomas Does Not Enjoy Mild Insanity."



I'm not happy with this picture, especially Tyrone's face. Oh well. Also drawn on printer paper with mechanical pencil. I smudged the graphite with my index finger for the shaded parts.

[Heidi Girl]

Schmergo, you really need to post some more of the entries. And to everyone else who posted their artwork, these drawings are awesome!

Hi!

This is the sixth and probably last picture I've drawn for the art challenge. It is a rather rough sketch illustrating the first chapter from Schmergo's Potter's Pentagon: The Past.



If you don't know what's happening in this scene, please read the chapter. Drawn with mechanical pencil on printer paper.

Random art, which I like to draw more than actual things because it's just plain easier. And more fun.


Lupin • MalfoyPotter • Potter • Potter • Weasley

It's a pentagon. With names of the Potter's Pentagon People. Woot. It's not very good quality because I don't have a scanner and had to take a picture of it. Then I had to fiddle around with the lighting and such on the computer because it was all yellow-ish and hard to read. (I'm a bad photographer.)

[Beverly Marie]

Here's the other one I drew. It's Jordan and Haley dueling in the first book. I don't really like it all that much, but it's the best I could do without starting completely over again. It's all fuzzy because, like the other one, it's just a picture. That little thing Haley's holding that looks like a tail is actually the invisibility cloak, and that yellow thing coming out of Haley's wand is a shield charm. I kept trying to fix Haley's mouth so it doesn't look like she's smiling or has a mustache (she's supposed to be shouting), but I finally gave up. That's the problem with me and drawing- I know what I want it it to look like, but my hand won't do it for me.

[Schmergo]

TEUSCHER!!!!!! Those are AWESOME, and thank you so much for drawing those! I feel amazingly warm and fuzzy right now! I love the Potter's Pentagon logo, and I absolutely adore the dueling picture. Jordan looks adorable and just as I pictured him, and Haley's so cute, too. The shield charm looks really cool, as well.

I am currently working on an entry as well...involving something that annoys you..it's a surprise!
