art post . . . .
I've completed the first six illustrations - A-F - for The Gory Spoilery Alphabetic Guide to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. ^.^ The poem and the pics are loosely in the style of Edward Gorey's art and his wonderful, macabre story, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies." This is a WIP to be posted in sets of four after this.

Please note the word "Spoilery" in the title! This contains major spoilers for HBP!

The Gory Spoilery Alphabetic Guide to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, A-F:

Chapter 16 of Checkmate is also in progress. ^.^

ETA Wow - I'm completely thrilled and overwhelmed by the response to these! I had no idea so many people would like them. ^.^ I will respond to all the comments - it just may take me a while. lol ::hugs everyone::

	Oh dear lord. That is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Is it bad that F maybe kinda sorta made me laugh? It's just because you said she looks better than Bill... That's okay, right? I'm not a bad person! I swear! Anyway, I can't wait to see the whole thing! And yay for Checkmate!!!!!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	OH OH OH!!! I love this!! The Gashlycrumb Tinies are an old favorite, as is Gorey in general, and I am just in awe of both your wonderful art and the macabre-yet-witty poem. Fleur is indeed better looking than Bill :DDD Can't wait to see the rest! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks so much, dear! ^.^ I bought Amphigorey the day before I got HBP - so they must have gotten fused in my mind. g lol - Fleur. ;-) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh these are so beautiful! I am here thanks to coffeejunkii and I am so glad she pointed me this way! Would it be okay if I made an icon of C? I adore it! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	naadi 2005-08-12 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Thanks! And thanks for coming to see. :) I think C is probably my favorite. I don't mind icon making with proper credit - and I'd love to see it when you do. ^.^ (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	OMG! This is fabulous! I am bookmarking this! I have to show my office buddies, let them know that there is more to fandom than shippers! There's pure blatant wonderful thought out talent too! (ok, I already knew that, but it's tough to come up with examples that they can 'get' sometimes) :) So fantastic. I love the writing as much as the illustrations. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You crack me up. Beyond a reasonable doubt. I'm honored to be blood (in an, er, honarary way). You always draw Draco so beautifully, by the way . . . (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Found you via hp_art_daily... These are awesome! You totally captured Gorey in the art, and in the rhymes. F made me giggle. Mind if I friend you, to keep track of the updates? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them and especially that you giggled at F. :) Of course I don't mind! You're very welcome to! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Here from hp_art_daily and had to comment...this is awesome. I'm a big Gorey fan and both the meter and style are spot on. Looking forward to more!!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, thanks so much! I'm glad the Gorey fans have been pleased. ^.^ I did stray from his style with the people, but it's really fun to do the backgrounds in his style. (Reply to this) (Parent)
