The Dark Lord.

For a good friend of mine.

Drawn while listening to Tool.

Anyways...this is my depiction of Voldemort from my reading of Harry Potter.

This is meant to be him in Goblet of Fire when he steps out of the cauldron after being reborn and puts on his robes. Yeah.

Um...several things I drew upon from the descriptions in the book were: the whiteness of his skin, his blood-red snakelike eyes, the whiteness of his skin, and his long fingered, spider-like hands...

Did I mention I tried to capture the whiteness of his skin?

To me, Voldemort at the time of his rebirth is a frail creature who, if he didn't have his magic, would be something you could kick over and he'd just die. So yeah...I tried to depict that in this illustration and extended that feeling in the thin, wispyness of his robes and his long, thin limbs and skeletal frame.

I believe Voldemort is, in appearance, more snake than human...that sort of reptilian nature...very snaky...cold...

Half reptile, half man, half blue cheese...nassssssssssty.

Other things...eh...dark mark in the background...neh. Oh yeah...another thing I tried to put in here was the fact that he kept touching himself...just having gotten his body back and all...and that's what the arm caressing the shoulder thing is for...maybe it just looks like he's trying to model. Oh my. How disturbing. Please stop Voldemort. You'll kill us all.

His expression is for you to interpret.
