In strive, do what amuses you π So I did. More portraits of my characters. These ones took longer to draw, I just couldn’t get them to look right (a lot of tweaking to be done still but right now, my wrists need rest). There are other versions which I’ve discarded, these ones are better ones, I think.
Still working on a few more. Glenn’s been doing a great job with one I cannot wait to share. I’m probably having too much fun with time-wasters such as these, with the book not even close to being published and not a single agent queried yet, but sometimes it helps to get my creative juices flowing through several means. But no, I don’t think I’ll write a song for the book, ha!
Princess Manola Bodum
A dangerous woman whom some may identify as the villain in the book. I’d just like to think she’s driven π Although I admit, being a smooth politician, she’s probably the scariest out of all other antagonists I’ve created. She’s fun to write since I get to explore many facets of lovely and twisted sexuality with her character. But I do need to work on that hair…
Haisma Perell
The main character in my book π She’s really a girl-next-door type, who’s afflicted by self-proclaimed guilt and responsibilities of virtues. Her views of the world and herself are the most affected in the story, for which I had wonderful fun writing. Emotionally ill-equipped and without magic nor combat skills, she has to rely on her wit and cunning to survive the many ordeals I’ve set up for her.
Faziel De Garxia
The reason why I hang onto this tale through thick and thin π He’s the love interest of my main character although if you ask him, he’ll probably say he IS the main character in the book (along with other obscene comments). He’s fun to write because he’s a shameless brute. He’s also one most bashed in the story (by me and other characters), that’s why I’ve to put all those scars on his face (though they look more like they’re painted on, ha! still working on those)… other than the fact that he looks too much like Jessica Alba otherwise.
Thanks for your time. I’ll think of more helpful articles to write next, rather than showcasing my own amusement this way. Till next time, peeps.
Hugs.
Selina says
These are great! I somehow pictured Manola as dark haired, but I’m not sure why. Even blonde there she totally looks the part.
fkurni says
Thanks, Selina! Coming from you that’s a huge compliment! Still learning here, but enjoying it heaps π Yes, Manola should probably look better dark-haired, but I gotta have a token blonde, I think. I’m glad you liked them.
Ladonna says
Hi Lydia,
Great pictures. I think it all looks good.
fkurni says
Aw thanks, Ladonna. I’m glad you liked them. Thanks for the visit too. Love it when I see comments here (which I hardly ever do, lol) *hugs*
Oh, will get to your chapters soon.
Dy says
Gorgeous Lydia. I really like the first one.
fkurni says
Aww thanks, Dy π A bit of past-time amusement to compensate all the endless shredding and sewing of words. Hopefully some will end up on the website.
Lindsay B. says
Wow, these are fabulous! Maybe I should hire you to do my characters… π
fkurni says
Aw thanks, Lindsay. Glad you like them! I’m still learning here but enjoying it immensely since I never could imagine what some of my characters look like. I’ll be glad to attempt drawing other people’s too one day π
Thanks for the visit too. Looking forward to Emperor’s Edge next Mon!
