I thought the Irene sketch was still around, but it seems that I shafted it while on one of my frequent deleting rampages. I can't think where on earth the original is . . . buried in a pile of old printing paper laden with sketches somewhere, I suppose.
However, I have finally done another Irene pic, one which I think is infinitely better than that little sketch.
lupin.jpg. Erm, this is Irene at about six years of age or so, inspired by that photograph that she herself carries around in that little pendant-purse. I don't know why, but Irene really does strike me as the sort of person who would be associated with lupines . . . gentle, calm, knowing. You know the type.
kevnfred.jpg Just a small piece of encouragement for you, to get Freddy and Kevin off your back. Maybe if we threaten them with the collective glaring of the entire population of Hogwarts Post they'll buck up, eh?
Back to the photo again: I thought of something while I was drawing that Irene pic that made me rather curious. Is the photo that Irene carries around dated from before Remus became a werewolf? I mean, we do know that he was a very small boy when he was bitten, and the fact that Irene doesn't seem to have a more up-to-date picture of her own family is rather conspicuous.
But I cannot talk anymore. The cat, he be whining.
