Confrontation

Description

Okay, the cork's about to pop in papa Riddle's face, but not before a lengthy confrontation.

I made a few choices here... He's wearing his school robes. Why? Because I can see Tom wearing them afterward at school, reminiscing his exploit. He likes to associate objects with significant events and what's better than Slytherin robes to feel separate from his muggle family? He can always transfigure them into a muggle coat on his way out he he.

And I got confused for a while. How to make them look related, quite similar yet different in age? Aaah...papa muggle looks a lot like the way I draw Tom Jr. and Tom Jr. looks slightly younger than the way I usually draw him. *blinkblink*. Tom Sr. is also slightly larger 'cause I didn't want to make them look like twins... I did give them the same hair: they have to look different but not *that* different.

So. I don't know how this all worked out so let me know pretty please!
*goes to bed*

UPDATE: I made a few proportional changes since I first uploaded the art. Thanks for the crits and feedback on here and LJ. :)

I really like this - I've rarely ever thought about this scene and usually I guess I just imagined it being kind of cold and impersonal? Like Voldemort just walking in, AKing them, and leaving. But there's a lot more emotion packed into this, which makes sense given the context. I think you did a good job at making them look related but also different in age. I love how twisted and angry Tom Jr's face is, whereas Tom Sr looks halfway resigned.
