HP Tarot - Ace of Disks

(2007) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.

I somehow never thought that I'd go and draw a badger at some point in my life, but here he is.

My version of Helga Hufflepuff as the Ace of Discs, again not because of her cup, but because of the strong alignment of Hufflepuffs with the element of Earth that is associated with the Disks.

I am seeing her as a friendly person, easy to get to smile at you and easy to get along with, perhaps with a tiny bit of a mischievous streak... She probably had a heck of a time mediating between the other founders!

Helga is based on wonderful renfaire stock from . I just dyed her hair blonde and gave her her "cinnamon-bun" hairstyle.
