"Sirius in his animagus form, escaping from Azkaban. Drawn in black China ink and coloured in watercolour and watercolour inks. Hope you'll like! I feel like I did a romantic eau-forte (is there an English word for this?) from the beginning to the nineteenth century. :)"

The waters look so turbulent and icy! Poor darling Padfoot.

Really great portrayal of Azkaban, certainly looks a place you wouldn't want to be! You've captured the North Sea and the sky perfectly and Padfoot certainly looks waterlogged and exhausted. Really great job...Love it.

This one is a really great picture. Its just like I imagined Azkaban. So icy, cold. One of the best pictuers of Azkaban I have ever seen. And Padfoot looks so tired and exhausted. A really, really realistic picture!!!

Incredible! You are such a terrific artist. I agree with dhanala; this is just how I pictured Azkaban. Excellent work!

I said this before, and everyone before me did too .. this is a wonderful piece! Looking at that water gives me shivers. Great job! Your skills with watercolours are outstanding. Keep up the good work!

An 'eau-fort' in English is 'etching'. This is an interesting scene to have done, one I haven't seen before. The fortress looks amazing; very medieval looking with the turrets. The water is looks perfect, all choppy like those rough northern seas. Padfoot looks, well, exhausted. This whole image is just so forboding. I love it.

Very exciting piece! The sullen but triumphant hero emerging from the icy waters...he's done the undoable....A moment's rest before he hunts down the traitor.

Wow, what an excellent panting. I've never seen a piece of Padfoot escaping. You really captured the mood with your details.

I really like this picture. This is exactly how i imagined Azkaban would be. I love your use of colour for the water So that it has the impression of iciness.

Wow, that picture is just amazing. It does make me shiver. What really draws my attention though is not Azkaban, although it's brilliantly drawn, but Padfoot. The expression of the starving and half-drowned dog which has just done the impossible is very haunting. Both pityful and powerful, Padfoot triumphs over adversity.

That is just brilliant. Padfoot looks so great, all half-drowned and skinny. Perfect characterization.

Beautifully done! I especially love how perfectly the way you drew Sirius matches how I imagined him looking when he escaped. this drawing is just so amazing!

Amazing. You can just see and feel all the pain Sirius went through in Azkaban and escaping it.

Wow. This is beautiful. I love the stormy sky, the raging waves and the helplessness of Snuffles. There is something nice about the way you have captured the light, and the drab colours of Azkaban. Wonderful!
