    Hey guys & gals.

    So, I've been running through page after page after endless page of Deviant Art work for a few days now and outside of a few funny ones, or good ones that have already been saved, I'm having trouble finding any jaw droppingly awesome fan art.

    I've not looked for any sites to be honst, but I don't see any sites having the kind of art/picures I'd like really. See, the pictures in my head that I'd love are things like Harry from certain stories, or scenes, or other characters from fanfiction.

    For example, I'd love to find good artwork of any of these;

    - Harry as 'The Dark Knight' from the Stranger series
    - Harry from Joe's Wastelands, in a suit, I can just see him with a knowing smirk on his face as he looks at his watch, suitcase in hand strolling down some cobbled street.
    - Harry!Joker from Denial and Deception's 'Dark Knight!Harry Potter' story. Ok, so there's a few of Harry like this, but none really... menacing
    - Jbern's Harry, from either story, though the 'Bungle' universe would be preferably. Hell, maybe the whole gang. Harry, Bill, Kawn and Bill.
    - Azkaban Harry. Shezza's Harry from 'Resistance' would be a stunning piece I think, in a fight with Aurors and Death Eaters alongside characters like Ron, Jordan and Kingsley. Ultimate chaos.
    - Azkaban Harry; again. Similiar to the Joker Harry, a Harry left to rot in Azkaban, or who escapes, or who was released. Again, so many pieces of awesome art could be made from fanfiction.
    - Denarian Harry - Come on, who wouldn't want a pic of Harry rolling his eyes while Meciel teases him, maybe Hellfire in hand, Bone Wings arched overhead?

    Yeah, it's a lot and now I probably seem like a nutter, but hey, I like good fanfiction, but I love good fanart too! Just a student looking for a few pictures, drawing, whatever's. Not asking for anyone to do any work, just asking if any of you know any good sites, or pictures that you yourself enjoy?

    Ok, so I 'want this and that' it's all very specific and would require someone to read the stories to get a feel for the character(s), but i'm not fussed. Just looking for some good art outside of young Hogwarts goody-goody Harry. DLP has corrupted me into enjoying a twisted Harry, who while having a tiny sense of righteousness, or a good soul, still has a dark side, or another side to him that's constantly changing.

    Ah well, sorry for sounding like a nut, or perhaps not the mindset you'd expect for DLP, but hey! It's worth a shot.

    Cheers, and a Happy New Year for 3 days time.

    All I can say to that image is... Good try. I agree though that I have seen no real quality images of HP or any of the characters from that universe and would really appreciate if someone could point some out to me.

    I had a reader ask permission to do some fanart of Dagger and Rose some time ago. She specifically asked to do Harry/Luna and Fleur/Draco at the ball (Harry and Fleur watching each other), Harry facing down the Horntail, and one of the scenes of Harry and Fleur in the maze (I forget which). I never heard whether she completed anything though--most likely, she lost interest.

    Jeconais's White Knight, Grey Queen has embedded fanart that's decent, save the artist got Pansy's eye color wrong. There's also some artwork in his story This Means War (which, given that it's Harry/Ginny, isn't DLP fodder).

    I haven't really done anything in the HP universe in awhile, but if given permission by some of the author's, I would give a few of them a shot.



    Something like this???

    I would love to see some fan art for Jono's Dark Knight; a good bit of that story would work so well as a graphic novel.

    True, in all honesty, I would love for all of the above to be made into films, but hey... we all know it won't happen =\.

    What's in it for you...? The, umm... satisfaction that you helped a fellow DLP'er? ^^; *shrugs* I'll see what I can dig up out of the back garden in that case.

    Herry - Woah ^^. The Denarian piece I'd seen before and just thought 'meh' that's awesome! I was thinking someone would link a kind of, well, realistic looking tablet drawn picture, but that's pretty much what I had in my mind. Just... wow ^^ *saves it*

    Thanks so very much! Sure Joe will appreciate it if he ever gets his Australiasian ass into reading around more often =P.

    That Harry looks like he's 40.
    And Fleur looks like Brittany Spears

    Other than that, nice try...

    I might try and draw something later. Gotta find my tablet though.

    I made fanart for one my own stories out of boredom and posted on DeviantArt.

    I learned several things about photomanipulation, but don't see myself doing it again.

    There is a thread around here somewhere with some pretty good Harry Potter fan art. Almost all of it is from sites other than Deviant Art.

    It's a pretty old thread, probably 2005-2006. I'll try find it and link it.

    Edit: Found some singular pictures floating around.

    Cho.
    More Cho.

    Edit 2: Found this site again, it has some pretty good Harry Potter fan art.

    EdgeWorlds.com

    Here are a few small samples.

    Hogwarts Founders.
    Wizards Council - Ridcully, Dumbledore, Belgarath, & Gandalf.

    Edit 3: Thread seems to be missing and most of the rest have broken links, being so old.

    Harry and Luna.

    Can find more Harry and Luna in this thread here.

    I don't know of anyone who regularly does art of fanfics, but the person who maintains -- http://www.artdungeon.net/ -- does do commissioned work if I recall correctly. I'm not sure what his/her guidelines are but if you were really determined to get a picture done of some fanfiction, or even just some art of a "darker" side of Harry, it might be one way to go about it.

    Here's a few examples of their work...

    A Cover for PoS drawn for a French Fanzine

    Harry on a Swing

    Harry, Fletcher, and Kreacher in DH

    Harry and Ron playing Chess, Hermione in background

    It might not be the best art in the world, but it is far and away better than what I could do. The site is also somewhat organized.

    Also, thanks for the link to Edgeworlds Dark Syaoran, that's a nice one to know about.
