20 min sketch of the characters Harry Dresden and Karen Murphy. From the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Harry's a licenced wizard (he's in the yellow pages)....
Karen's a cop (head of the special investigations in the Paranormal unit)
The work together to catch all kinds of baddies.
I just finished book two a week ago and am waiting for book three...but I won't get it for a while... ARGGG!
It's ADDICTING!
Anyway, this is a 20 min representation of how they look in my head.
I decided to do it in dark blue and gray hues because the big events often happen at night.
In the first book Harry does something really cool with lightning... you'll have to read.
I've been wanting to quick sketch them since I started reading about three weeks ago.
The Dresden Files, Harry Dresden, Karen Murphy all belong to Jim Butcher.

I like this but... my ONLY gripe is that Murphy kinda looks like she is the same height as Harry 
which she in no way is
Thanks. It really is a fantastic series. One of my favorites as well
Lieutenant Murphy would murder you if she saw this picture, you know XD.
why do you say that?
I mean it is old and I want to do better. I love Murphy. She is someone I can look up too, since I too have a button nose and am 5 nothing

Oh, I don't mean it in a bad way, you did a wonderful job of expressing your artistic creativity of what you believe Murphy looks like. I really like it, a lot in fact 
.
What I mean, when I said that is that Karren, seems to give off the type of air that she's down to earth and harda$$ed, right? Of course she does, when I think of her, that shirt that seems to expose quite a view into her shirt, the type of shirt that she would likely not wear. You remember Dresden commenting on his shock when he first saw Murphy in a dress? My point.
Other than that, I have no issues with your drawing, in fact I do not have any. It was merely something I noticed and thought to comment on it. No harm meant.

Thanks. lol and you're right about the cleavage. I plan on doing another one of her, more accurate and realistic. No harm done. I appreciate the critique
Thanks that you can appreciate that I meant no harm ^^. I think this one is incredibly realistic, minus the cleavage, still I really like it ^^. You did a wonderful job on the both of them.
I can't wait to see more of your art!
I can't wait to see more of your art!
oh yeah lol totally need to change that Murphy. I agree with you completely. haha thanks for the comment and the compliments
You're quite welcome! I really liked your interpretation of them regardless
Love Murphy
Thank you!
Nice sketch indeed!
Thank you
fantastic! (I love that you said you feel like Harry thinks he's less hot than he is! totally agree!!)
Thank you
love how gritty this looks, and how tough their expressions are. What with the rate Harry gets black eyes, I doubt the pretty face will last- so I'll enjoy it while I can XD
Thanks! Yea I want to do a more accurate one, this is also old art. So I want to do a more realistic one
I don't really see that but this is old so she would not look like that if I did something new.
Thank you. I just love them
THis looks great! I love the monocolor effect you got going. And Murphy is really good. Only problem I have is that Harry is more handsome than I imagined.... And that's not really a problem.
Thanks. lol yeah I feel that Harry thinks he is less hot than he is. ...and I could not help it
