Day 74/365This is kind of a sequel to my recent image "Wish Upon a Star"

Also for some reason this image ended up making me think of Harry Potter when I saw the finished product lol

The only light is coming from the bulb itself.
Used the live view of my camera to be able to make a composition and the remote shutter with 2 seconds delay.
I had a difficult time, the light buld is a led bulb and apparently the results in a very flickering image on the live view.
Technical details
Processed with Adobe Camera Raw.
Minor amount of Photoshop.

Model: Thanks to Nectarius
Hedwig was Harry Potter's loyal companion and messenger
I built this model for a LEGO Ideas contest, formerly Rebrick (not meant to be a set) In the Creatures category of Magical Builds of the Wizarding World.
Initially I wanted to build Buckbeak, but I got impatient waiting for some parts, and just started making Hedwig instead.
Since the snowy owl is an almost completely white bird, I had to bring some colour to the scene by adding some scenery which also puts her into the context of the Harry Potter universe.

Some days editing just comes easy for me, some days not so much. The day I edited this was one of those lucky days, I managed to do this in a few hours.

There once was a man who had a desire
For potions and spells and billowing fire
He set off to learn of the magical way
Many a year was spent until he was gray
Alas his desire for magic was satisfied
He was the strongest wizard, the novices' guide
Up to him they all did look
With a burning desire to read from his book
But they would have to wait as well
Earn their keep, and prove their spell
And just like he, they would someday receive
The honor of donning the Wizard's sleeves

"The Door, the Echo, the Guest, and the Palace,
Over a mannequin shaped with awkward hands,
Teaching it the arcane knowledge of symbols of time and space.
The Simulacrum raised its sleepy eyelids,
Saw forms and colors that it did not understand,
And confused by our babble made fearful movements."
— Borges

I've got my magic wand and my Gryffindor uniform. I'm looking forward to my Wizards studies this year!!!
“The dragon roared, and spat out fire, the house caught on fire.
“Hold the dragon back!” Exclaimed Aidric. “I'll put out the fire!”
The knights were noble, valiant men, but they didn't stand a chance. Magic was needed. And magic was what Aidric possessed.
Aidric raised his staff, and a mighty green light sprang forth from it! The water from the pond swirled, and raised up, creating a sphere of water. The sphere shot out to he fire, and as fast as the fire had came, it was gone.
The dragon swiped a mighty paw, and felled Sir Theodoren. With a roar, a stream of fire spewed from the dragons mouth, engulfing Sir Theo.
“No!!” Cried Sir Espan.
Espan raised his sword, and charged the dragon.
“Stay back!” Yelled Aidric. “I'm coming”
Aidric raised his staff again, and the brilliant light of green was back, twice as large as before!
All the water in the pond swirled out, and with superhuman strength, it slammed into the head of the dragon! The dragon let out a mighty roar! Espan, and Sir Rowan took advantage of the dragons temporary blindness, and charged with their swords.
The dragon flapped its magnificent wings, and flew up into the air. A spell from the ancient language spewed from Aidrics mouth, and the dragon was pushed back, far into the open plain.
The dragon flew away, recognizing it's defeat.
The knights cheered! Aidric let out a sigh of relief. For now, the battle was over.
But the dragon would be back. And it would be stronger than ever.”
My entry to the Dragon contest, hosted by the amazing Siercon and Coral. Sorry about the not-so-good backstory. It would have been better if I had took more time to write the story, but oh well.

Paper: 38cm * 38cm Origamido paper
Background paper: Origamido paper
Final hight of the model: 13,7cm
Time to fold: 2 hours, 35 minutes
This is my fourth attemp of Kamiya's Wizard. Before this one I folded it also with Origamido paper (maybe I will take a picture of it) and the result was quite good but after seeing many other folds with much more interesting shaping especially of the cloak I wanted to try it again and tryed to get the same shaping result and well, this is the result.
I think it is quite good with much more better shaping of the hat but the hand that holds the wand (and the wand) doesn't work like I wanted. I does not trust myself to ry to shape it with mc at Origamido paper. Maybe the next attemp will get better. :)
Hope you like it! :D

A parte do Harry Potter no Islands of Adventure (parque da Universal) é bem linda. Mas também é incrivelmente lotada! Minhas fotos ficaram mesmo focadas em lugares mais altos, como podem perceber hahaha
A rather fun castlepunk creation I have had sitting around for quite a while and finally got around to photographing over Christmas. I think it's fairly self-explanatory!
Bits and pieces (Puffin Chunks!) of this MOC have been lying around for two years. Finally pulled it together for BZPower's BBC 55, changed the wings, gave her a club, and entered.
Pics of my project with better quality.
You can support here!! -> lego-ideas.link/entry/Sorcerers-Tower
Any help is welcome since unfortunately the project is not getting to much attention.
I cleaned out a bunch of photos from my photostream yesterday and will continue to clean it up today. I'm not actually deleting anything, just setting the older, lesser quality stuff to private. Keeping with the theme of yesterday this is another redo, and if you remember the original man was it terrible. Hopefully everyone enjoys this one. Thanks for looking.
P.S. Does anyone else hate the new Flickr image scaling? You lose a ton of sharpness unless you click to view the image in the lightbox. It appears to just be using the medium size image and scaling up which looks horrible.

Day Fourteen
I'M SO SORRY I TAKE FOREVER TO UPLOAD!!
I'm catching up I promise!
This was taken on July 31, which as we all should know, is Harry Potter's birthday!! I remember the very night I started reading them. I was in first grade and I haven't been able to put them down since!! I think I've read the complete series around 47 times now. The books are falling apart. But I love this series and I always will :) I almost called into work and said I wasn't going to come because I had to stay home and watch the Harry Potter movies and make a birthday cake but I didn't think they'd go for that. So I just had to settle with making a photo in his honor! Obviously this is a Patronus. I chose a wolf (I had a hard time deciding between that and an antelope. Don't ask) because I have always absolutely loved wolfs and what they symbolize. You can't really tell in this but thats what it is!
Many, many thanks to the extraordinary Joel and his Patronus tutorial :)
and shoutout to my great papa for pressing the shutter for this!!
So, we're almost at the mid-season finale. Only one more after this, and I can focus my attention on something else for a change. As always, lemme know what you think :D

"Efas erehwemos su tropsnart". As Zataro speaks the words, he vanishes, leaving Superman clutching at thin air. He looks around the beach, searching for any stragglers. There are none, all transported away by the wizards magic. The corpse of Aquaman still remains though. Superman floats over and stares dispassionately at the corpse. This was...regrettable. He couldn't have possibly known that the Enchantress would choose this moment to make an appearance.
Diana should never have accompanied him here. Before she died, Hippolyta had told Superman about her daughters true origins. She'd told him about Aganos island, Cerce, everything. 'It was only a matter of time' she's said. Rao knows what will happen now. He looks behind him to see the Enchantress clutching at her head, smoke spewing from her mouth and nose.
Diana looks up. The Enchantress is gone, she's back in control. She looked around, taking in her surroundings. She see Aquamans corpse. She looks at her hands, at her sword. Bloody. She's covered in blood. She loses her composure, sinking to her knees. How could she lose control? Who is the Enchantress? She looks up, at Superman. He has descended to ground level and is now standing before her. "Kal, what happened here. D...did I..."
He extends his hand, helping her to her feet. "It's alright Diana. You did nothing wrong. Aquaman attacked me, you got in the way and stopped him. You saved me Diana." He hates to lie, but it is the only way. She can't know what she did. What she is. He promised Hippolyta that he would keep her secret, that as long as Diana lived, she would never know the truth of her origins.
Meanwhile, The lantern has been surveying the battlefield. 'What a mess' he thinks as he floats around, his ring outstretched. This was a mistake. Sure he wanted the resistance stopped, but not like this. He never wanted anyone to die. But now... He looks behind him, at Aquaman. Although he barely knew him, he'd grown up watching him on the news. He seemed so...nice. He was a good man, regardless of what was happening behind the scenes. But now? All that means nothing. Now Arthur Curry is just a corpse, a casualty of war. Still, he lets the ring scan him, just in case there's any hope that he's-
The ring interupts his thoughts. With that, all hope is gone, shattered in an instant. He moves to his next target, Batman. He'd been close to Batman, before all this. Despite their differences, they'd got along. He was brave. 'Too brave' Kyle thinks as he reaches him, ring outstretched.
Shocked, Kyle descends, his feet setting firmly in the sand. What should he do? If he tells the others, they'll take him prisoner. God knows what Supermans capable of. Or Wonder woman for that matter. Batman doesn't look good. Given the ring isn't known for optimism, there really isn't a lot Kyle can do. The burns...they go right through. Kyle can see exposed bone, charred flesh. It's too late for Batman. There's nothing that can be done. He leaves him there. The least he can do is allow him these precious last moments.
"Lantern" Kyles thoughts are interrupted by Superman. "We're done here". Kyle nods in agreement and ascends to join the others. He will never tell them about this. Together, they set off, leaving this mess behind them.
“Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape.”
Wow has it been a long time or what?!!? I've been in such a creative rut as well as extremely busy lately that I haven't even had a chance to do my favorite type of art..concept art!
This week has been particularly rough for me. Not only did I lose my dog of 11 years, but I also lost one of my favorite actors of all time...Now most think that sound silly..how can an actor matter that much to you? You don't even know them! I have to say, this type of loss isn't like losing someone you know. The quote I found that best describes it is this, "We don't mourn actors because we knew them, we mourn them because they helped us know ourselves."
Alan Rickman was one of the greatest actors, my favorite role of his was Professor Snape. He showed us that even though you may think you understand someone completely, you could not know anything about them.
This week, I also lost one of my best friends, my dog Nitro. Losing him has been one of the hardest things my family and I have had to go through. I can honestly say he was the greatest dog I've ever had. He always knew how to love you unconditionally and never expected anything in return. He was always there to give you a snuggle or a kiss if you were down. I miss him so much and words can't describe how much he meant to me.
This picture is a dedication to those we've all lost this week, and that after all this time, they will always hold a piece of our hearts.

Escaping from the groups of other students, just wanting to be alone Lyn kicked off her heels and took off running. Cam's hand in hers as they moved through the castle. Cam and Lyn made their great escape to get just a few moments alone. It had been a couple months since they really stole precious time for themselves to be alone. As she led him to the Transfiguration Courtyard, she moved in close and started to dance with Cam. Nothing like just dancing in the dark.

Chapter 3
======================================================
Stren was a humble sorcerer. He lived in his cottage deep in the woods of the kingdom. He has his gardens, his house, his firewood, and his magic. Nothing more is required in life for him.
One afternoon, he was enjoying the weather in his front yard, when he notices two armed royal knights approaching his fence. Expecting trouble, Stren grabs his staff and stands up.
Sorcerers are not well liked in the world. They're believed to be agents of the Devil, with dark powers. Common folk avoid them at all costs. Whenever a sorcerer is approached by armed knights, he has reason to be nervous and expect a threat.
The knights stopped at the gate and glanced at each other. Then one proceeded to speak:
"We are not here to harm you. We come with a message from the king himself. He requires your assistance...he says you saved his life once."
"Indeed I did. You may approach...slowly," Stren replied.
The two knights walked slowly up to Stren, but kept their distance when they stopped.
"What is it the king requires of me?"
"There is a dark force...the Necromancer, he is called... He is raging war against the kingdom, destroying villages...killing innocents," the knight responded. "The king is asking if you would help him fight back."
"The king would ask a sorcerer to help fight a war?" Stren repeated.
"Yes, he knows he can trust you, since you saved his life. His parents encouraged him to believe you were good."
Stren nodded, while stroking his short beard. "I will come immediately."
The knights nodded and thanked him together. "The king has assured your safety for the journey."
The sorcerer nodded, then retreated back inside his cottage. He collected a few items and placed them in his satchel, which he then threw over his shoulder. Picking up his staff once more, he then closed the door behind him and followed the knights down the path.
As they reached the crest of a hill, Stren turned to look back at his home. He wondered to himself if he'd ever see it again. Maybe...
