This is probably fanart, but I dont consider it to be. I assume most of you out there have read 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', and, if you have, you will know that tom riddle controls a basilisk through Ginny but mostly through a diary. Wouldn't it have been more fun if he rode the thing instead?

Cute!! I like the pictures in the background, and the expression too. ^_^

:-) Rosie Smith a.k.a female fred replies: "yeah, i was going for the kinda "crazed axe murderer riding a giant and deadly snake" expression on him 2. the pictures in the background are my favourite part, so i'm glad u like em!"

I don't like it, i can't imagine Riddle ridding the basilisk, how would he fight Harry if he rode the snake.And his face isn't right, and the rope around the snakes mouth is so wrong, how would it try to kill Harry, come on. (coool picture though).

:-) Rosie Smith a.k.a female fred replies: "*blink blink* ... hmmm. Thank you for commenting on this picture as though I actually read the Harry Potter books to a proportionate degree of interest, but I actually don't... I just like snakes. I couldn't really care less if you're just going to insult the picture then tell me it's cool, because you obviously think it isn't, and obviously have a dictionary on hand to help you with words like "riding". Now, you may think this reply is harsh. If you do, re-read your comment. Thank you for commenting on my work, and please, do come again, except next time, tell me how to improve."

Meghan: I have come here to thwart my revenge upon evil Melissa!!!
Skipper: Thwart? Is that even a word?
Meghan: Yes, but the chances are I've spelt it wrong.
Skipper: ...
Meghan: Anyway, I think I'm going to kill Melissa (not a death threat) because I think she's mean...its quite a good, well thought out drawing and I think it requires at least some imagination to come up with such a thing, so nyah to you...nyah I say nyah...
Skipper: Oh, that's just going to terrify her.

:-) Rosie Smith a.k.a female fred replies: "thwart is a word, and you did spell it right. you just used it in the wrong context 10 i know this isn't a very good drawing... but i thank you for your support"

Actually, I'm impressed with the way you have handled the Basilisk. It's bloody hard to draw snakes, especially big ones, but you have managed to make it believable. I also like the concept. As far as we know, Tom HAD to ride the Basilisk. How else did he get up from there?

Ignore Melissa. See how she isn't listed as an artist or member? Thats either so you can't find her and comment on her stuff (which will be worse than yours), or because she draws too poorly to be a member.Besides, her comments make no sense.

Fun fact: Basilisk is a real mythological monster, so this isn't "fan art" per se (unless you put the harry potter names on it).

2 Rosie Smith a.k.a female fred replies: "Thanks for that, I've always liked drawing snakes, and basilisks have become a favourite mythological creature of mine ^^ I've taken to ignoring people like Melissa.. so much easier.."

I like your picture alot but the person doesnt look right.I think u should ,maybe touch up his face! From a person who loves your pictures, cody.

:-) Rosie Smith a.k.a female fred replies: "Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it, and I have to agree with you about the person. I really, really can't draw people, and I should stop. "

I hate it when people like "Anonymous" come by and say something offensive to the artist without even an e-mail, or any other to contact them... it is just plain mean. It's not easy drawing people... for a long time I couldn't draw people so I stuck to animals. Then, I decided to try drawing, and I became really good at it.
So keep trying... you really can!
