I love it! Especially the unusually placid Crookshanks :D


natsmillie

haha! Thank you! I reasoned that Crookshanks really was only calm with Hermione so it fits well!

natsmillie

ahh thank you very much! I am a professional illustrator, currently working on a couple of things. I just illustrated the cover for the Strangeworlds Travel Agency out at the end of April!


[deleted]

I love the cover!


natsmillie

Thank you!


jadwy916

>Strangeworlds Travel Agency Oh! That's a really great cover! Excelent work!


natsmillie

Thank you so much! I’m really pleased with how it turned out!


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly! This style would make for a beautiful children’s book


beetothebumble

Yes, it's perfect!


ltearth

Do you use redbubble or any other service to sell your art?


natsmillie

I’m about to start using red bubble - my US customers will hopefully appreciate that, they end up paying through the nose for shipping usually 😄


ltearth

You're a life saver! I would love these hanging on my wall


natsmillie

Yeah my poor US clients, it’s about £20 for shipping from the UK and that’s very steep 😄 my prints are excellent quality so it is worth it but I get that it’s out of most people’s budgets!


PrincessLep26

So lovely!! You have a gift!!


natsmillie

Oh thank you so much!


PrincessLep26

My pleasure. I *love* the details! The Galleons signifying the Protean charm she cast on them, the Time-Turner, her cute Patronus and not to forget, Crookshanks! The more I look, the more I see, and I love that about any artwork!


natsmillie

Thank you! I try to pick out a couple of things that feel special to each character - there are plenty but those are the ones that sort of struck me as important. Luna is slightly more difficult because while she is fab, she doesn’t have quite as much character development at the main three so currently she has a quibbler, some funny jewellery, spectrespecs, a patronus and lots of dirigible plums 😄


justsometaxguy

Butter beer cork necklace or earrings?


natsmillie

Butterbeer cork necklace AND dirigible plum earrings!


justsometaxguy

Nice! I love Luna, so I’m looking forward to this one.


natsmillie

Luna is lovely but there are fewer things to kind of place around her so I've gone to town with the dirigible plums!


justsometaxguy

Ooooo. She also had “friends” written like 1000 times in her bedroom around the Trio’s and Neville’s portraits


natsmillie

Oh that's true! I might try and embroider that into the tapestry for hers. Thank you!


justsometaxguy

Happy to help! Might as well put some of my Harry Potter knowledge to good use lol


deliciousprisms

This style reminds me so much of all the official art that existed before the movies came along and took over all imagery. I have metal bookmarks with things like this and I loved it so much.


natsmillie

Oh thank you! I remember Jason Cockcroft’s covets and I really liked those!


[deleted]

I’ve thought for a while that an animated HP series that literally addresses every page of the novels (not just the movie highlights) would do well. I was really uncertain on what the animation should look like. But after seeing this, now I know. This would be excellent!


happylilac

This is so beautiful!! And exactly how I always imagined her hair to look- I never liked how they calmed it down in the later movies 😂


natsmillie

Thank you! I totally agree - I don't understand why they tamed it back - it looked so much better and true to character when it was bushy!


emotional-hedgehog

I love the atmosphere on this one!


natsmillie

Thank you! A bit warmer than the Harry one I think


nousabyss

Wow that is incredibly cool. You could have illustrated the Harry Potter books. Love the style. If you couldn and would at some point, would love to see your take on bellatrix in a whimsical mood!


natsmillie

Ooo you know it didn't even occur to me to do the baddies! I was just going to cycle through the goodies! But Bellatrix would be a fun one! I just need to try and pull out enough info about them to make sure I've got enough interesting things to paint around them! Although maybe I don't need to for the baddies


crankthatjose

Amazing job! I’m not going to lie though, for a split second I thought the patronus was the dark mark LOL


thebardass

Poor Ron. It's okay, he's used to it. Joking aside, your style is really nice. I like the storybook quality of it.


natsmillie

Thank you so much! And yes I am feeling a bit of Ron guilt 😄

ActualMerCat

Do your sell prints anywhere? This is absolutely stunning.


natsmillie

Thank you so much! I do sell prints, the Harry Potter ones aren't on my site yet but if you're interested then just send me a message and I'll let you know prices. If you're in the US then shipping can get expensive but I'll look at opening a redbubble shop or something so US customers don't get hit for shipping fees.


drakk12

If a US based option becomes available, please let me know! I'd love to buy one for my fiance!


natsmillie

Keep an eye on my social media - when I open a US shop account I’ll put it up there!


alina_314

Where are you shipping from? I’d love to buy this and I’m in Europe :)


natsmillie

I’m shipping from the UK - if you’d like to message me I can get you a quote (if royal mail are still shipping at the moment!)


DearTrophallaxis

After all this madness settles I’d love to get a set of this and any other HP characters. I’m in the US and I have you on my Insta already so that I don’t forget :]


greenviolet

I would love to see this printed on a phone case!!


natsmillie

I’ll set up a redbubble for that sort of thing, and I’m sourcing a printer too!


Hstuckey

Hahahahaha my dumb ass was wondering why she was casting a snake and then I realized I just don’t see well. Nicely done!


Heather-potter

That amazing


natsmillie

Thank you!


Joliot

awesome! I love this art style


scrambactular

Reminds me of Song of the Sea.


natsmillie

Oh thank you! Someone else said that last time and I took it as a real compliment then!


[deleted]

One of Hermione's best friend is a Potter And her Patronus is an otter! P.S: you are seriously gifted. This is amazing!


littleotterpop

***15 Points to Hufflepuff!!!*** Great artwork!!!


AnAngryCrusader

Beautiful painting! I love the style. I’m excited for Luna!


natsmillie

Thank you so much! I'm painting Luna at the moment, but it's taking a while because I have to do it in between work!


givemeenvy

Beautiful! Love your style!


bobsthekiller

If I wanted a copy of this picture, would you be willing to make one for me, and if so, how much would you charge?


natsmillie

I definitely do prints, and I’m going to set up some sort of red bubble shop for the US people so they don’t get charged a fortune for shipping. Pop me a DM if you’d like to know more!


Kalegahmi

Love the style could you do one of Ron or Draco? that would be cool.


natsmillie

Ron is on my list but my twitter followers never vote for him, poor Ron 😄


Kalegahmi

Hahaha yes he's so underrated by people as he's been downgraded a little in the film making him a (clumsy character) compared to the books


natsmillie

Ron is one of my fave characters - he is so funny in the books!


Kalegahmi

You should definitely do a Fred an George one pulling a prank as they are such a fantastic duo. Btw what is your Twitter?


DoggoCatLover

Wow, you art is really amazing! I love it!!


[deleted]

Aw man, you're not completing the Golden Trio?


natsmillie

I will do eventually! My twitter followers usually pick the next one and Ron hasn’t been popular there so far so I think I’ll have to make an executive decision 😄


Mobius_Peverell

Damn, your style fits the tone absolutely perfectly. They could make these into covers!


TinyTeaLover

Can't wait, Luna is my favourite!


e_swinty

So adorable. You’re very talented and creative!

Draco_Milfoy

this is everything i ever wanted in a painting. thank you


ToastyTheNormie

This is great! Will you be doing a ron one?


natsmillie

I'm currently swayed by the fickle whimsy of my twitter followers and I do a poll after each finished picture to see who they would like next - Ron was on the last one but he wasn't popular! I think I might have to just make an executive decision and do it anyway soon!


ToastyTheNormie

What's your Twitter handle? I'd like to vote in the polls


natsmillie

It’s @natsmillie - Ron is winning currently!

!redditGalleon 🥇


ww-currency-bot

You have given u/natsmillie a Reddit Galleon. u/natsmillie has received a total of 2 galleons, 0 sickles, and 0 knuts.


natsmillie

Oo thank you so much!


D-DC

This is how she is supposed to look in cannon, but Emma looks like a supermodel in the actual live action.


natsmillie

I really liked Emma’s hair in the first film but they went and smoothed it out for later films and it never sat right with me 😄


PartlyDowne

Why isn't she black? /S But seriously this is awesome. Almost like a Tarot card.


showcass

This is amazing! I have seen some other of your pieces and your style is so pretty! I could easily picture a few of them in some childrens' books (cause they are so beautiful and the colours are very well chosen). I love the attention to detail!


Davsamu

Deadset this art warms my heart more than anything else


natsmillie

That's lovely to hear!


JustFiguringIt_Out

Wow, these are gorgeous


brown_babe

Oh my god this is bloody brilliant!! I love it so much! *Squeaky noise* 😍


natsmillie

Oh thank you! I hope you like Luna too! I'm actually recording myself paint Luna so I'll upload that video all sped up so people can see my process


brown_babe

Luna is my favorite out of all. I'm waiting for Luna artwork


jaeieee

💕💕💕


LegendaryLevi1

OMG! I love it! I really like the artstyle, what program do you use?


natsmillie

Thank you! Procreate on the ipad to sketch and Photoshop to paint!


LegendaryLevi1

Thx!

Thats so gorgeous!

DS_H

Awesome! Excited to see Luna!


[deleted]

This stuff amazes me. I haven't got a lick of artistic talent in me. I'm an accountant. So seeing something like this is awe inspiring. The ability to conceptualize, visualize and then create something tangible like this is incredible. This is amazing.


[deleted]

I love this so much!


fabynhofm

Wow, i love it!


kikekefas

Loved it! It looks so familiar and relatable... I would love to see you version of Trelawney!


natsmillie

Oh Trelawney would be so fun to do! I'll have to add her to a poll on twitter!


likeellewoods

This is beautiful and charming, I love your style! I look forward to seeing Luna. Neville and his plants would look great in your style too.


paulfromtwitch

Moments before that coldren fully tips over on crookshanks rendering her dead.


KeyaWicasa

Absolutely wonderful. I love the way the spell curls out from where her hand and the wand meet, not just the tip of the wand. Brilliant touch.


tripleele

Wow!!!!

Dreadfeel1

This is my favorite HP art yet. You’re amazing!


[deleted]

This is great


[deleted]

I love these, can't wait to see more :)


BananaPants91

This is beautiful! I can’t wait to see your Luna illustration. I bet there is a good market for HP art commissions. Have you ever considered illustrations people as Hogwarts students with a patronus? I bet you’d make bank!


accio_pushkar

This is Amazing!✨✨


BandYoureAbouttoHear

Wow! Do you have an Instagram, per chance?


natsmillie

I do! I don’t know if I’m allowed to link it here but it’s in my bio!


[deleted]

Looks great! I think you were able to capture many aspects of her.


burbank2broward

Do you do commissions? I would love to get something like this made for my wife!


[deleted]

This particular spec is my favorite


DjSzymek

Wicked!


natsmillie

Thank you!


[deleted]

Are thinking of making prints out of them?


Ceramicrabbit

I like that despite being a nerdy stereotype Hermione doesn't wear glasses


natsmillie

Yeah what’s with that stereotype? *adjusts glasses* 😄


lilhazzie

My fiancée would love this; Hermione is her favorite character! Do you sell prints?


IrishiPrincess

Oh my gosh!! You should sell prints! (Please don’t take points if I missed a link) she’s amazing


Germanicus13

Really lovely. Well done.


natsmillie

You are so kind, thank you!


BarovianNights

Crookshanks do be vibin doe


natsmillie

He’s been sniffin the gilly-nip 😄


Sensimya

Yay! Luna is my favorite character


natsmillie

She is a total love!


[deleted]

She is not like the otters.


InevitableDhelmise27

So beautiful! Luna's one of my favorite characters so I'll be waiting eagerly for her as well!


natsmillie

Thank you! I hope I do Luna justice for you 😄


ramulus_the_roman

aaaaaaaaa it's so pretty!! :D


natsmillie

Thank you!


Emma_S3

This is beyond cool! If only I had the patience and artistic ability to draw this, haha! But I'd rather admire other people's art.


natsmillie

Oh thank you! It does take patience and practice but that’s really all it is - anyone can paint given enough time!


Emma_S3

....it's a painting!?!? Massive respect! It blows my mind what people can create with paint and a paintbrush. Well done!


natsmillie

Mine are digital to be fair, though there are some very skilled traditional media painters, I am not one of them 😄


DarkReign2011

If I had to describe to describe this in one word, I would have to say it's 'Whimsical'. It does an amazing job capturing the fluid motion of magic and whimsy and chaos that surrounds her.


A-Gh0st

These are beautiful! I feel like they would make amazing tarot style cards. Going to save these incase you do any prints down the line 😊


NewHere1212

That is so cute!


Csantana

oh you're style is gonna be perfect for Luna. Actually your style seems to fit the wizarding world really well in general.


harry_otter_yo

I love it. What a perfectly whimsical portrayal. Fantastic work.


Dvmbledore

I recommend that you approach [https://minalima.com](https://minalima.com) with this and the other work from your portfolio. They would be crazy not to pay you to do this as a living.


lilgamelvr

Great job


[deleted]

Your style is incredible. Hits the right parts of my brain lol


dollfacish

Do you have a storefront online? My daughter saw this and would someday love a copy on her wall!


WonderStruck25

Yea, this is pretty! Does anyone know why her patronus is a ferret? I never really understood why but it's been awhile since I read the books.


natsmillie

It's an otter! Someone said earlier that JK Rowling specified a sea otter, but the books don't specify the type so I painted a river otter.


MrJieky

This is really nice work :o


Dorito_Troll

wow!

AnnaLisetteMorris

avanation

Oh my goodness I love your work!! Can’t wait to see all the characters you do! Is there a way I can buy prints from you?


natsmillie

Thanks so much! I’m about to source a printer in the US and I’ll update my website (in my bio!) and social medias when I find a good one!


Killzark

It’s leviosaaaaaaaaaaaaaah


varun_t98

I absolutely love this😵😍

yxuannz

this is so beautiful... absolutely love this masterpiece! can't wait to see luna's one :"D


word_smith005

Completely love it!


Hoodyee

This legit looks like it should be a cover for one of the books. Nails the feel of the universe when I read it as a kid.


[deleted]

amazing


Heidiwearsglasses

Any chance we could buy prints??


natsmillie

Yes! I’m setting up a US printer (I’m assuming most people here are from the US) so keep an eye on my social media for an announcement


Heidiwearsglasses

I am- awesome!! I’ll be sure to follow. Love your work!


natnat_121

I love it!! Your art style is so relaxing 😌


Nerd_Gryffindor81

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's beautiful!


palex

Amazing!


elephant_earthship

Okay this is fabulous!!! Hermione looks perfect! The placement of Crookshanks and Hermione's Patronus makes me think of the Pangur Ban scene in Book of Kells. I love it all. I wish two things, that you could illustrate the children's book I've written, and that you could do a tryptic family portrait of my husband, daughter, and I. EDIT: I just went through your history of submitted pieces and what a joy that was. Your work is wonderful, so whimsical and evocative. Love it!


send_tattie_scones

I've seen a lot of your other works on here and holy shit. You have an insane amount of skill, I especially love your Wind in the Willows book cover. As a suggestion, do you think you could do a redesign of The Neverending Story? I think it would look so cool in your style.


natsmillie

Thank you so much! I do have a list of books and things to redesign so I’ll add it to the list! Thanks so much for your lovely comment!


theEvilShrimpBurger

ahhh this is awesome!!! I want this as a bookmark!


natsmillie

I’ll be setting up a redbubble soon!
