Fan Art Picture 11 out of 12 by Meghan Anne Merritt.

FanArt: Mad Eye Moody - Definitely Mad

While working as the Test Police a couple of weeks ago, I had the inspiration to draw my vision of Mad Eye. Mostly all I had an idea about was the Mad Eye bit. So, here is what developed from the picture of the mad eye in my head. I'm working on a colored version right now, and I'm pretty happy with the sketch.
The only thing I do not like about this drawing is the inaccuracies that are present. I mean, he's supposed to have a signifigant chunk of his nose missing... but I couldn't get it to look right. I have yet to add his hair, mostly for a lack of a real idea how to do it, and I'm still working on adding scars and numerous other pock marks to his face.
I've been told he turned out too 'pretty'. But I like to romanticise Moody. I like to imagine that he was once a very decent looking man, but a hard life of battling the dark has lead him to become the disgusting-horror-inspiring creature that he is today.
Anyhow, Graphite in Sketch Book.

30 Dec 2003	Ashley Celesta Versaggi	Loading... interesting, definately interesting here. i like the mouth...it's different. I know you don't wish to hear this, and i actually don't like hearing this myself, but i'll say it anyway: in a small voice it's not really how i imagined him to look. BUT! To each her own. ^_^ i like the eye, but i think maybe adding a touch of bloodshot to it would help enhance Moody's rare...electric blue. =) can't wait to see it coloured. kudos to you. Meghan Anne Merritt replies: "Thanks! To be perfectly honest, this is not exactly how I imagine Moody, either. When I started this drawing of him, all I really had a picture of in my head was the mad eye. Everything else just developed on its own. There is actually quite a bit more detailing to this drawing than is exhibited here. The scanner I have access to tends to leave out important details like my painstaking Bloodshotting. I'm working on getting him colored, and actually have another picture of him cooking on a back burner. Thanks again!"

24 Jan 2005	Patter	Loading... A overlooked character in the Harry Potter series as far as artistic interests go. This is the first rendition of him I've seen. Very good work and kudos on originality.
4 Aug 2005	Callas	Loading... It's an overall great pic, although I imagined him to look somewhat different. You got the expression really well, especially his glass eye. very small voice You do know, there's a chunk of his nose missing in the book? ducks behind sofa Hope to see it coloured soon anyways, and keep up the great drawing style!
