Oooh, that's different!

I like it.

The more formal font fit it better than a standard comic font. Very very nice!

That's almost exactly the thought I had when I read about the mirror of Erised. :/

[inuki42.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! The style fits the concept beautifully - I don't think you could have illustrated the idea in nearly the same way with the simpler ink style from previous comics. I'd love to see more comics done this way... but not all of them, because I think it'd lose its charm.

[frameacloud]

Right, you've got it... some of the sillier comics would be weird if they were done in soft-edged, sombre charcoals. The style has to fit the mood of the piece.

Ooh, I like that guy's hair. And the gryphon seems to pop out of the frame. :D

This one is awesome.

[cloakable.livejournal.com]

Niceness.

[makuus.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* Spot on. In fact, I have a habit of making a comment to that effect everytime I watch the first movie, after Dumbledore's comment that the mirror shows the heart's truest desire.

Its absolutly beautiful.

[ladyfox7oaks.livejournal.com]

WOW, that's gorgeous! Any chance of getting that in a print?

[delcan.livejournal.com]

Instantly, enthusiastically seconded.

[frameacloud]

It would make a lovely print, but there's the issue of it effectively being Harry Potter fan-art. Making money off of someone else's copyrighted subject matter could make legal trouble.

I loved her hair too! I love the magical-looking frame blending into the vision in the mirror.

[clare-dragonfly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I always figured I would see. Well, not that, but that.

Also, the art is gorgeous.

VERY nice. I love it, I saw the picture and didn't even need the quote, I knew EXACTLY what it was. I thank you for this rendition of the Mirror of Erised, it pulls on the heartstrings just the right way. *tear and smiles*

[valkyriur.livejournal.com]

Thank you for presenting that. I felt that so much.

[yaochi.livejournal.com]

While being unfamiliar with the mirror from Harry Potter, I have considered the magic of 'the looking glass' to be age old. And have envisioned images of the mysteries revealed in mirrors for years.

[meirya.livejournal.com]

That is beautiful and so very poignant. Thank you.

[westly-roanoke.livejournal.com]

That tugged very strongly at my heart...

Thank you...

I want ...

[cheerfuldragon.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I want to look, I want to look.

[steelwing.livejournal.com]

Wow. I could spend quite a while in front of that mirror. I may not be a true 'theri', but I'd be entranced by that vision.

I love the backwards sentence, as well. It took me a minute to read it. :>

[draco18s.livejournal.com]

The backwards sentecnce ("I show not your face, but your heart's desire") is JK Rowling's idea, but a good one none the less (also, it is called the Mirror of Erised, or back to front, the Mirror of Desire).

[jrrhack.livejournal.com]

Isn´t the character one evil guy?

[frameacloud]

...What character?

Dumbledore?

[jrrhack.livejournal.com]

The blond kid

[frameacloud]

OH! Oh, I can see how you would think that... no, no, the person sitting in front of the mirror in this comic isn't the blonde character Draco Malfoy, although this person's hair style is similar to his in the movie.

This person is the gryphon who has been appearing regularly in Theri There, and she's always had hair like that. You can see her in an episode from last September, among others. She doesn't look much like Malfoy from the front!

[jrrhack.livejournal.com]

okay. I am not potter fan, I dunno about the haircut stuff :)

[jrrhack.livejournal.com]

the blond kid?

[teacup-werewolf.livejournal.com]

Beautiful artwork...
I feel like that sometimes. That If I look onto a mirror will see a white fuzzy wolf face instead of a human one. ^^ again lovely art

[cottonfluff-lj.livejournal.com]

Stumbled across your comic while browsing LJ for other webcomics, and I must say:

Awesome. I am *very* glad that I did.

::skips off to read the archives::

[frameacloud]

Neat!

...My gosh, your webcomic looks great, too. :D Adorable art style and intelligent storyline... this will be a good read.
*Adds to onlinecomics.net watch list*

[cottonfluff-lj.livejournal.com]

Heh, thank you much!

I'm on thewebcomiclist.com, too.[/shamelss plug]

Love it!

[ravinedragon.livejournal.com]

Very beautifully rendered, and spirit moving for me. I love this comic.

Remind Waywind that we're here
Hanging 'round so plain to see
Waiting for a comic please

Won't you show us that you care.

With the site down, is there a full sized version of this somewhere? I wanted to be able to read the quote and this pic is just way too small. :
