Gryffindor, Through and Through

[pennswoods]

In one swift, fluid motion, Neville broke free of the Body-Bind Curse upon him; the flaming hat fell off him and he drew from its depths something silver, with a glittering, rubied handle --

Notes: Drawn in much cringeworthy haste for the 30 days of Neville fest on xnevillelovingx. Many thanks to tjwritter for keeping me alert and amused as I colored.

kickass!Neville, whoot!!!
this must be a Nagini-eye view-- her last thought!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I really struggled trying to draw him looking so fierce. Normally I draw him looking sort of alarmed and befuddled.

And yes - definitely the last thing Nagini saw! :D

HOLY FU---

If THIS is a RUSHED job, I don't know what would have happened to my head if you had taken your time...

I wish I could have been there for you last night. Unfortunately, I was at work with supervisor who does not approve of the internet.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was super rushed. I finished the lineart and coloring in one day which is why the figures in the back are so sloppy and Neville's body positioning and right arm (ARG!!!!) are so frustratingly unnatural.

One of these nights, when you don't have a disapproving supervisor around, you can keep me company. :D

Wonderful job!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you muchly!

[suntzu-s.livejournal.com]

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

[kcstories.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Beautiful... Now, go kill that snake, Mr. Longbottom!

:-)

By the way, most beloved, I was given a piece of your artwork as a gift a little while back... I was so touched, and happy to have your work hanging in the dungeons. It is the potions class piece, with Snape watching over Neville's cauldron, and Hermione is standing next to the lad.

*tender robed embrace*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you!

I'm so happy to know a piece of my artwork is adorning the walls of your dungeon. I'm so glad that little piece has found such a perfect home.

Holy mother, that is just breathtaking! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

[sweetmelodykiss.livejournal.com]

Um, sorry. that last comment wasn't anonymous. I was me. This is a really gorgeous piece.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

I loved drawing this because I ♥ Neville so much!

*fangirls*

I LOVE that scene. Go Neville!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*basks in the fangirling*

Go-go Gryffindor!!!

*squees*

*fangirls Neville*

*fangirls Pennswood*

It's awesome

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I just love Neville. Now I've got to get that super fierce Molly picture out of my head and on paper!

[mnemosyne-1.livejournal.com]

Oh, fantastic!!!! Such a strong Neville - and I love the bit of flame coming from the Sorting Hat.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I really had a bit of trouble with that flame - so hard to draw fire.

[sofisticat.livejournal.com]

That. Is. Just. Amazing!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really need to do more art - I'm soooooooo very rusty!

[hazy-crazy.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh Neville looks so fierce! I love it, great drawing :D

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah for fierce Neville. This scene was so awesome in the book it was worth wading through several hundred pages of camping in the woods for.

[plotbunniofdoom]

That is just perfect.

I do love kickass!Neville.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I love me a kickass!Neville something fierce.

[thanfiction.livejournal.com]

*applauds wildly* One artist to another...well done!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Woah! Love that icon. That's one fierce Neville right there!

Thank you so much, fellow artist!!!

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Now this is a grown up, kick-arse MAN!!! I love it! The determination and the...just the...the HERO of it!!

Yes, there were many flaws in Voldemort's plan, one of the biggest was underestimating Neville Longbottom!!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Damn straight! Voldemort underestimated the fierceness of a Longbottom once again!

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

Whooooot!
Yes, THAT's the kickass Neville we know and love. Very nice!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

* ♥ Neville *

[akemi42.livejournal.com]

Yay Neville. He looks really grown up in your picture. I kinda wish Trevor were in the background. :P

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I was so tempted to draw a little fighting Trevor in there, but I just didn't have time. Believe it or not, Trevor can be very tricky to draw at times. :D

[irana.livejournal.com]

Can I just worship you for drawing him this way, despite whatever fits it might have given you? I love seeing the core of steel in Neville made manifest, and you did a fabulous job of that.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*enjoys the worship*

I do like the expression on his face even though it makes him look soooooo very different from how I've drawn him in the past.

[leela-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh, I very much like beat-up Neville. This is the guy I'm trying to keep in mind while I write my story.

Nicely done, and even more so for something done in haste.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your story. And I'm just thankful I was able to make the deadline. I've been so bad this past year...

[unbroken-halo.livejournal.com]

EEEE! You made him blond too! YAY! I love this! I've gone all !! on you because I just love to see the strong Gryffindor core in Neville come out! Well done!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I always figured Neville for having really light brown/dirty-blondish hair.

And what the sam hill is a BAMF?

[hathorx.livejournal.com]

Oh my! This is great... and you rushed it? This doesn't look rushed at all, it looks brilliant! I love Neville's expression and how you drew the sword. Well done!

Oh and since Portus is up soon, I hope you have a fantastic time!! Expecting to hear all about it when you're back :D

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

It was indeed very rushed which explains the *ahem* rather awkward position and unfortunate anatomy.

I hope to have a fantabulous time to at Portus and plan to squee all over my journal before, during and after.

[angela-snape.livejournal.com]

I love it! Go Neville!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

ZOMG!!! Your icon! That's the best!!!!

[vegablack62.livejournal.com]

I love his his clothes, the burning hat and the shadowed watching crowd and the intensity of his expression. The sword looks great too.

[j-lunatic.livejournal.com]

The most awesome scene in the book, Y/Y/MFing Y?

And this is a fantastic repesentation of it.

No pressure intended, but are we ever going to get any more of Trevor's Tales? Perhaps this sequence, as witnessed by T. from N.'s pocket?
