    Isn't Pansy described as having the face of a dog and really butch? I can understand people taking liberties with Blaise(nobody knew if it was a girl or a guy until book 6)and Daphne(no real description of her either), but if a girl has the face of a dog I just don't understand why people draw her as being hot..

    Well, look at the Gryff options:

    Hermione: Bossy, nerd.
    Ginny: Flat, tomboy, likely a manipulating slut though not openly canon.
    Lavender & Parvarti[sp?]: Completely obsessed with self-image, likely the type not to care about voldemort for the sheer fact that ___ just came out, not gonna happen.

    That, combined with many on this site (including myself) favoring the cunning and underhandedness of slytherin makes alot of us write and search out SlyhterinFemale!/Harry fics; but theres also few slytherin girls and even more scarce backstory, and a whole shitload of Daphne/Harry fics would get old - fast.

    Personally I prefer Daphne/Fem!Blaise fics because all the other Slytherin girls that get any attention paid to them end up coming off as future-Anna-Nicole-Smiths(or future Narcissa's), looking like dogs(Pansy) or female Crabbe/Goyles (Millicent Bullstrode). The great part about the unknown characters is that the author can mold them into whatever s/he wants, which usually ends up being better than somebody who hates Harry suddenly being in love with him(Pretty much every known Slytherin).

    As for the other characters, Hermione is bossy and a nerd but she usually ends up being right and if it wasn't for her Ron would still be in first year and Harry would've been burned to death in first year. Lavender and Parvati I thought of being like Luna, what with their belief in Divination, but I didn't get the impression they were stuck up/conceited, even though everybody says they're the best looking in their year.

    There are lots of options for H/* fics, I just don't get why you'd put him with a girl who looks like a dog.

    Pansy is never described as having the face of a dog or being really butch...

    IIRC Rowling first describes her as having a 'pug nose' which isn't neccessarily an overwhelming facial flaw. It's not outside the realms of possibility for her to be good looking.

    "Hey, Potter!" shrieked Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl with a
    face like a pug. "Potter! The Dementors are coming, Potter!
    Woooooooo!"

    Gah. Well I'm pretty sure the description in the first book was just as pug-nosed.

    And the mental images were quite bad enough without you providing a picture.

    Figured it'd be good for an added effect. In the first book she's described as "hard faced", whatever that means. The quote above is from POA.

    If he's using Poser(which it looks like he is), then that's just how it's going to look. I don't think I've ever seen a 3d model made with that software that doesn't look like it was a reanimated corpse.

    Yes, Poser6. Didn't have time or interest to use Cinema4D or some other more complex program. Poser sucks, but it served its purpose, and it works if you don’t plan to do anything more advanced, but you shouldn’t expect great results with it.

    Is that the only good facial shot of Voldemort from the movie or something, seen everyone use it to death so far. Guy looks like a mutant, or a weak ass vampire.

    I still like the Voldemort I got off a russian movie site, that claimed it was LV from GoF. It uses the head from SS. Be cool if someone got headshots from that, and Photoshopped it over that goofball LV from GoF

    BTW: what's the spelling mistake? My mind is still to fuzzy to figure it out. . .

    I don't see any spelling mistake, but my mind is quite fuzzy too :p.
    It looks great, except the bit in the middle says "IT WILL BE To LATE" so the "o" looks kinda strange. Just me nitpicking, though :p
    Actually, on second thought, perhaps the small "o" is meant to be like that.

    That's just the way the font goes.

    Here is the - link - for the font so you can see what I mean.

    It's the one called Parseltounge.
