…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

I'm terrible :snow-frown: I've been meaning to post some art of our lovely Fairy Hardcastle for an age; I moved house and misplaced my sketches of her (or perhaps they mischievously fluttered away...). I find it so hard to go back to drawing something I've already done...I think it's frustration at having to start all over again! In any case, I found my first sketch of her, so I added a bit more to it this evening. It's very rough, and doesn't quite 'get' her...but I'm hoping to make a decent second sketch of her looking a bit tougher and more 'sneering'. The image is a bit big to post here I think, so I made it into a link.

Hm. I realy envy you for your talent. Still, she looks kind of too nice and orderly.

What wonderful rendering ability! I love the style of the drawing and you clearly know what you are doing there. I had thought at first that she looks too "attractive" in your drawing -- and she probably is too attractive here, I think (I would have thought more "bulky" perhaps -- not as extreme as the "prom picture" I posted of course). But it occurs to me that part of that "attractiveness" is due to the large eyes -- smaller eyes generally portray shiftier personalities I suppose. And then I realized that the cheroot is lit and that she is exhaling smoke. Since we know her cheroot is rarely lit except on "special occasions" -- like her interrogation of Jane, and we also know what sort of "pleasure" she gets out of it, that "look" she has become a bit more menacing and creepy. I'm intrigued by the idea. I also find the teaser snippet of the image above the "click me" link interestingly done.

Please, ma'am, may I have some more?

Another step in the Fairy's evolution. I think I'm getting closer...hopefully this image is small enough to display and won't mess up the page.

By the way, I like the new drawing. And as a side note, I'll mention that I always thought Pam Ferris as Miss Trunchbull in the movie "Mathilda" was a pretty good possible image for Fairy Hardcastle:-)
