This month's Featured Artist is Elzora, whose Hogwarts Employee Series belongs - judging by the huge amount of comments - among the visitors' favourite fanarts.
Going through Leaky's FanArt Gallery, it is easy to notice that many fanartists have chosen the Hogwarts Staff for the topic of their artwork. Professor Snape, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are favourite subjects.
 Wonderful montage by Hagiographer13!
Professor Dumbledore appearance in PS: "Tall, thin and very old judging by the silver of his hair and beard which were long enough to tuck into his belt. His blue eyes were light, bright and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles."
Hagrid is described in PS being "almost twice as tall as normal men - long tangles of bushy back hair and beard were hiding most of his face."
Professor McGonagall's appearance: Her hair is black and she wears it pulled back into a bun. She usually wears emerald green robes.
Professor Snape has in canon "greasy black hair, a hooked nose and sallow skin. His black eyes are cold and empty."
Elzora, however, has portrayed not only the major characters but also those staff members who we haven't met that much in the books - for example Septima Vector, the Arithmancy teacher:
You can check out Elzora's other works - all 21 Hogwarts staff portrait - here. 
You can find the canon description of the teacher's appearance over at the Harry Potter Lexicon!

I really appreciate how Elzora has done portraits of characters that we only have heard passing references to, or will probably never see in the films. Check out her Professor Sinistra!
But even the characters that have been translated to the films, and thus influence some FanArtists, Elzora stays true to her vision, like in this awesome image of Professor Flitwick--
Wonderful images!

I haven't seen her stuff before. I hate that I haven't seen her stuff before  They're AMAZING. They're so vivid and creative and they're all so different, I mean Flitwick is spectacular and the backdrop is so beautiful and then you look at Umbridge and the background is all poppy and pretty, theyre just all so original and special and... yeah I'm running out of suitable adjectives. I love her work

Her Lockhart is great, I've never seen him look such a charlatan:
Why bother with the uncouth business of substance, when there are magazine covers to grace? I particularly like his clothes, dressed as if ready for action but really only for show.

I must say her Umbridge is suitably loathsome
Her fingernails just creep me out, which is how I like my Delores, pink and creepy as anything!

I think Elzora's Umbridge is perfect! Very much as I had imagined the Horror of Hogwarts when I read the book. Plus, kudos for including her tiny wand, which always cracks me up when I read OotP. Tiny and utterly awful! 
Her Umbridge is here in the TLC FanArt Gallery.
