Company Art

The latest preview art is compliments of Jeremy Grayson, a multi-talented artist and collaborator. This character profile was done in the early stages of character creation and while things have changed since the original sketch, I think the artist did a very good job with the overall expression. This is a screen shot of the profiles I have compiled for each of the characters. This character is one of my favorite to write, he's incredibly snarky and laissez faire brilliant. It's amusing because we had my boyfriend stand as the model for this piece, and bless his heart, he stuck it out even though he was kind of annoyed by it--the expression to the right is pretty much on par with how he seemed to be feeling the whole time.

As the story went through the ringer, it became gruffer, more real, and in turn more beautifully imperfect. The original text had been written as though a water color or an impressionist blur, but has morphed into something coarser... something that makes sense to me. I had characters that were truly imperfect and needed a more imperfect world. It's always so interesting the progression and evolution of worlds and stories. The picture below is still in part from the days of a less developed world, but the character still feels right, and so I thought it an appropriate piece to share. Lane is one of the few characters that has never changed too drastically from original renditions.  

More previews to come as time allows... :)
