ART and DRABBLE: 'Subtle Triumph', G

Title: 'Subtle Triumph'
Author/Artist: purplefluffycat
Rating: G
Character: Eileen Prince
Challenge: Created for the Pure-Blood Prince Fest on e_prince_snape, in response to the prompt 'Gobstones'
Medium: Photography and Photoshop
Summary: A rare moment of happiness in Eileen's youth, as Gobstones Champion Extraordinaire.




Eileen peered shrewdly as she contemplated her next move. The colourful Gryffindor marbles seemed to sing and taunt as they lay upon the baize, but few opponents were equal to her subtle tactics and meticulous technique.

Indeed, the shining silver stones with which Eileen played were feared for both the ancient charms that inhabited them and the skill with which they were wielded.

A quick feint with the hand and a wandless charm later, Eileen's prize stone shot purple venom at her adversary and sealed the match. Eileen was indeed Hogwarts' Gobstones Champion for good reason.

Her curved reflection smiled.

Damn, PFC...
You're good.
I'm working on the auto-hair thing.
I'll let you know when it's done.

Thanks very much! :-)

I'm looking forward to what you come up with, although I must admit to feeling slightly scared....!

Ohhhh, sweet! I love you give her a whole characterization with just a look at how she plays gobstones. And of course she would take it seriously :D.

And the art is pretty, too :)

Thank you very much! I'm pleased her personality came through as intended here. There is very little we know about Eileen, so she is fun to invent.

And of course she would take it seriously :D.

Yes - like mother like son eh? ;-)

And the art is pretty, too :)

I'm glad you like it :-)

I love this. The colors are really gorgeous. D'oh - I say that about everything you create. ;)

Sounds like an intense game. I'd be no good at it, ha.

Gosh, thank you very much! It's really nice to know that you like the colourings actually, because that is often the thing that I'm least sure about when I'm drawing. Mmmmm... *muses*

Yes, it does seem to me as if Eileen takes her Gobstones pretty seriously!

Hello! I found you through nqdonne's journal, and was just wondering if you still needed a room-mate for Sectus? I'm in the same position as you - I have a room booked and no one to share with! It'd be easy enough to cancel mine though!

I'm 23, British (from Jersey), and while I've never been to an HP event before I've been to quite a few conventions and love meeting fellow fangirls. :) I'm travelling over on my own so it'll just be me, though I'm hoping to meet lots of LJers while I'm there!

Anyway, let me know! I'm on madzilla(at)livejournal.com if you'd prefer to e-mail. :) Either way, hope to see you there!
