“The Dowager Countess’s New Clothes” - Illustration by Sam Spratt

Sometimes I finish something and I have no idea why I made it, but a small part of me knows that it was the right decision.

“The Dark Lord” - Voldemort portrait painting by Sam Spratt

After several quick illustrations with my internet memes, I wanted to put some heavy hours into a classical portrait with a modern theme. Painting out from the darkness, I constructed the snake-like villain through hundreds of layers of color variation stacked in transparency to achieve the sickly texture and pigment of his skin—focusing on the subtleties of light and color.

“Expecto Patronum” - Portrait of Harry Potter by Sam Spratt

Decided to stick to black and white for this one, It has been ages since I’ve read the books but I was always fond of the idea of a Patronus as described by Rowling—Harry’s “Stag” of course being the focus.
