Voldemort

I chose to do goblet of fire voldemort as before that he was basically formless and that wouldn't suit the format. Here he's summarised on "He is tall, and skeletally thin. His face is an almost opaque texture, with deep, dark scarlet eyes set in slits, like a cat's gleaming in the dark. His nose is as flat as a snake's, leaving small incisions for nostrils, and his fingers are unnaturally long, like a spider's legs. He can usually be seen wearing his black hooded cloak that always covers his face." This was the first character I drew since Christmas and you can tell. It takes a while for me to get to what I'm trying to do but then I think I would have found his skeleton face quite hard anyway, especially as he's supposed to be wearing his hooded cloak. The cloak is also an issue as it really ruins the thin aspect. After looking at cloaks for a while, it became clear that if his elbows were up (which they had to be to stay in the section) then his cloak would have to go down from them, turning it into a weird tent dress. I would have said this one was terrible but Nagini really helps to make it more visually interesting and gives him something to do with his hands. It also made me think of how it'd be good to do an animal for all of them but I don't really have time. The lines in this one are really defined to add to his skeleton face and general pallor. Also this is by far my favourite for background texture the way it sort of spirals in with the dark reds against Nagini's green makes everything seem more villainous.
