Monsters (Dresden Files)

I'm about 150 pages into Cold Days and I'm kind of horrified by the changes in post-faustian-bargain-Harry Dresden. So I thought it might be fun to draw a compare-and-contrast between Young-Pre-Mab-Harry (on the left) and Winter-Knight-Harry (on the right), with Mab in the middle, as she is the one who mediated the changes.

So--comparing Young Harry (say, around the Storm Front era) and Winter Knight Harry: the major differences: CD-Dresden is about 10 years older, has long hair, is sporting a tux rather than his duster, has the scar from Turn Coat, and is even paler and thinner than usual. And then of course there are the rather terrifying personality changes--I did my best to capture those in their expressions.

So who's the monster? The creature who creates the Winter Knight, or the man who becomes him?

Comments, criticisms, and suggestions very welcome. I obviously went seriously overboard with textures and stuff, but I had a reason--I promise! I finally broke down and got myself a tablet! Granted, it's a pretty well-used intuos2 off cheap from ebay, and it doesn't seem like Gimp plays well with tablets, but I'm clearly having way too much fun experimenting.

I think I'm addicted to drawing Dresden Files fanart, and there will probably be more before I finish Cold Days. My steadily growing collection is here.
