Eastern front next wip
I'm really happy with the light colours and rendering I've been doing recently. That, as well as using a magnifying glass for facial and other tiny detail. It's addictive!

Those blue flames Hermione often conjures when it's cold would certainly come in handy in wintery Ukraine.

Please tell me those dragons look more like monsters and less like grinning kid-lit versions.
What's my secret? Dinosaurs. XD

Little Newt gets his Hogwarts letter.
Starring Cheddar and Boo the Puffskeins, Pumpkin Pie the Kneazle, and Nipper the baby Hippogriff. He very probably bottle-raised it.
