Doing Harry Potter Caricatures
Boy it really is tough doing them,
I keep finding myself always adjusting images I previously did trying to get it to look right. Even though I believe I got the image kinda right.

Examples below:


Argus Filch


I searched the web for some decent images of him, so I finally find these 2 (from wikipedia) which I use as a reference source:





The first caricature I created of Argus Filch I thought was pretty decent.


But it just did not capture the character of the caretaker. Cranky, wide eyed, unkempt, stringy hair.
So I ended up reworking him again. Here is the final result (I hope *grin).




Neville Longbottom


This was also not so easy, because when they were kids, and now adults, their faces change quite a bit.
I tried to capture him as best as I could, my first take was off, his eye liners were too dark, his eyes too high.

Anyways here is the reference source image that I used:


Here is the first caricature I created, ... it was almost done, had the basics, except the placement was off by a pixel or two. Followed by the fixed image.





Madame Hooch


Ahhh, the broomstick instructor *grin

This is currently a work in progress.
Here is the source image:


The is my work in progress image. Still working on the hair, then the clothes.


She is looking quite cute I find :)

Just wondering, what's with all the ads on your site? All my friends find it annoying to have to trough through all those flashing banners just to make a doll.

My girlfriend and I are having the same problem. Every time we go to ANY eLouai page, a download box comes up and asks us to save either a .exe file (when we go to the main page) or a .php file (when we go to any other page via google links.)

Hmmm its a lot more serious than I thought.

Was updating the dns servers for elouai and we are caught in a loop. Trying to fix, probably will take a day to fix. Thanks for letting me know. I dont see it at my computer but it was visible by other ISP providors

Thanks :] I checked up and the only problem I was having is that I went to the 3rd one and none of the pictures show up at all, and the doll on the left side of the screen doesn't show up. It just shows those typical boxes that there should be something there but it won't show up. :[

yes it is.

First had to fix the dns lookups so sites are visible.
Now had to fix my headers and footers on each page of elouai so they become visible. Still need to fix more pages.
Also images were not transferred over, so that should have been done.

Next to fix problems with the code, off been a long 2 days.

Well I used to use adobe photoshop but lately I am using adobe imageready It allows me to quickly create animated gif's. It's an expensive application but worth every penny.
