Cedric Diggory
Reasoning:
This card represents a romantic, sensitive, diplomatic and gracious young
man. One who looks beneath the surface to constantly self-improve, and can empathize
with others. On the negative side, this card can stand for over-sensitivity,
jealousy, sulkiness and over-harsh self-examination.
Unfortunately, Cedric died before we could see many more intimate (or even negative)
aspects of his personality. But he was certainly gracious and diplomatic, and
strove for personal excellence while always remaining fair to others.
In a traditional tarot deck, this is the Knight of Cups.
Notes
Oh
Cedric.... he's one of my favorites to draw, but is also very difficult to draw
because he's one of the very few characters canonly described as "extremely
handsome". Also, I must admit that yellow is not my most favorite color... but
Cedric manages to make even yellow look good. ;)
I had a very specific image in mind for this card, but it just wouldn't materialize
for the longest time. His arms went through all sorts of changes, and his eyes
kept switching between being focused more off to the side (which is how it ended
up) or a rather blank, but pleasant, stare (like in the color test). While the
stare had some merits as far as looking more saintly and symbolic, I felt that
it ran the risk of making him look not-too-bright (which some of his jealous
rivals accused him of...).
I almost had a panic-attack whilst coloring this, as the freshly-refilled gray
pen for the background EXPLODED ink in a big blob down next to his right (our
left) boot. Fortunately, I was able to make it blend pretty well, and I don't
think anyone would notice unless I pointed it out.... which I just did, so have
fun looking for it.
