🦅⚡️The Ravenclaw Quidditch Team⚡️🦅

Happy September 1st everyone! We’re going back to Hogwarts!! I’m so excited for the fall, I’ve got some great projects coming up :)

I want to draw all the Quidditch teams, because I want to draw all the uniforms in the house colours, so sue me :)

I found the names of all the Ravenclaw players through a little digging and invented their descriptions myself. With Ravenclaw, we only know Cho and Roger Davies, and Roger was never even described, other than he’s handsome. That makes it more fun for me, because I can use my imagination ✨🤗

🐍Slytherin Quidditch Team🐍

🏆Oliver Wood🏆 If there is one person who really really cares about his passion, it's Oliver Wood. For example: “Bad news, Harry. I’ve just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She – er – got a bit shirty with me. Told me I’d got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about you staying alive. Just because I told her I didn’t care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch on it first.” Wood shook his head in disbelief. “Honestly, the way she was yelling at me … you’d think I’d said something terrible.” (PoA 12)

I like Oliver's character. He's the ultimate jock, obsessed with his sport. Honestly, he deserved the championship five times over. Why did Harry always have to get seriously injured at the end of every season? Very convenient, if you ask me... Anyway, I liked drawing him. He was a good character for me to get back into the game. For those who are a little confused about my long absence, I overworked my elbow and got diagnosed with a tennis arm. For many artists, this is a familiar injury. It sucks so bad, I had to take it easy for a while and still do. I'm mostly focused on getting client work done, which is why my character illustrations have dropped a little on my priorities list. I'm focused on developing a healthy work-fun balance in my day, because not being able to draw for myself is a little depressing, despite how much I love my job. Work is work. I hope you like Oliver and I hope I'll be able to make a new one soon. If everything continues going the way it is currently, I will be :)

⚡️✨Katie Bell✨⚡️

This girl just drew herself, really. No effort needed. I liked the actress that portrayed Katie in the films, so I took inspiration from her dark hair and put my own spin on the rest ✨

There is something I have always struggled with when seeing sporty girls represented on screen or in fan art… it’s that they’re always athletically built. Now, that makes sense, in a way, because to make a character design believable it is the easiest way to get the message across: this girl is fit.

But when it comes to representing women in the athletic field, this is not always true. You can be strong and fit and still have rounder arms or legs. You can still have a belly! Unless you’re actively trying to loose weight, exercising does not mean you look like an Olympic runner or swimmer or whatever. 🫡

🌸⚡️Alicia Spinnet⚡️🌸

I wanted to work on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, because it includes characters (mostly the girls) whom I barely see artwork of. And I wanted to put my own spin on them :) We don’t know a lot about Alicia or Katie, for instance. I literally found no more information on Alicia than ‘plays chaser on the Gryffindor team’… oh well. So I made it up! ☀️🤗

I like the idea of Alicia looking like a cinnamon roll but can actually kill you🤫

Gryffindor VS Slytherin

The illustration for the November edition of the Owl Post Club! I'm so excited about this one! In the books, November is when the Quidditch season kicks off with the first match: Gryffindor VS Slytherin. I wanted to draw that for this month's Owl Post postcard. The goal was to create an illustration that was dynamic and energetic. And what is more fun than Harry and Draco battling for the snitch? You can feel the tension in those finger tips :) I can't wait to see this illustration in print. If you'd like to receive this postcard on your doorstep this month, sign up for the Owl Post Club on my Patreon. Shipping is included and international :)

Stay tuned for more on this cool postcard!
