:bulletred: My Other Harry Potter drawings :bulletred:

I drew that Thestral with a ballpoint pen (and darkened a bit with photoshop). But 1st, I've done the main horses lines with a pencil.

The little furry creature is from one of the paintings called The Nightmare, by Johann Heinrich Füssli ( ==> [link] ).
It is a demon, who sits on women chests while they're sleeping, nearly suffocating them.

The world "nightmare" is composed by "night" and "mare". A mare is that little demon, but also (it's a coincidence) a female horse.

In HP6, a Thestral is a horse that can only been seen by persons who've seen death. They're flesh-eating.

My first intention was to draw a thestral, but then I added the Mare, but just as a wink to the painting.

"Thestral" belongs to JK Rowling.

Nightmares are creatures from Dungeons and Dragons rpg too. They're demon horses, with horsehairs and hoofs in fire and red eyes, very evil. They only allow evil demons and blackguards to mount them and when they are really big are called Cauchemar, that is the french word for 'Nightmare'.

When I read the book I really though in Nightmares when I read the description of the Thestrals. Even the image, without the wings, remember me the Magic: The Gathering card 'Nightmare' too.

I'm out of the point, I think... Well, about the pic, I like it. The sinister halo that has the whole picture is amazing and the detail is very cool. I like specially the wings and the complete black and white desing. Very cool.


Anyway, here is a link about one of my favorite pictures of a Nightmare:

You will be wise when you know everything that before you didn`t know.
You never must believe that you know everything.
I still say it looks more like the demon at the end of Hellraiser, but boy does this picture look awsome!

Gorgeously detailed and shaded. I love the style and movement. Fantastic wings and superb contrast.
