So, I'm having a crisis of committment with this pic. It's actually two characters. It's Zafir, my original chara from Le Palais (google it today! XD), but also Regulus Black, Sirius' brother, from Harry Potter. I know it is horrifically lazy of me to just say it's both, but really, I decide it's one of 'em, then am like... BUT WAIT, and it reminds me other the other.

So I stand by my inability to make decisions!

Oh, and it may strike you that his regalia is extraordinarily like Snape's in the Potter movies. That's an interesting story, actually. XD I was watching Man in the Iron Mask today, and in one scene, Aramis came swooping in in his full priestly garb, and I was very taken by it and paused the DVD to take a sketch so that I could use it in a pic (♥ period costume), and as I was sketching it, it struck me that I was, in fact, sketching Snape's outfit, right down to the buttons, tunic, and white cloth at the collar. So there you go. Snape's outfit is based on the clothing of the early 17th century clergy, if Man in the Iron Mask is to be trusted.

I didn't feel like drawing Snape though, so Regulus (or Zafir ^_^) it is!

Detail of the face here: [link] . A lot was lost in the resize, so go have a squiz, please~.

In an aside, I think this is probably my best pic to date. There is almost nothing I'm unhappy with. Even the background is more arsed than usual. XD
