As a result of not having a better idea of what to write about in today's post (plus I'm lazy), I've decided to do something a little bit different than usual. A picture speaks a thousand words and writers should show, not tell. With those two bite-sized pieces of theory in mind, I give you the main characters for my WIP, Venture Crew:
 |
| From l-r: Gilad , Farren , Philadonna 'Pip', Kaden , Solara and Mathus. |
My drawing skills aren't half bad, are they? Ignore the dark smudges on the left side, my scanning skills leave much to be desired. Just be thankful the image is straight. Ish.
Here's a fun fact about me! Whenever I'm working on a multi-chapter story, I like to draw the main characters. Sometimes I sketch their image repeatedly, trying to get the feel of what their face looks like. Farren has been completely changed about six times in my sketchbook, earning the title of most changes I've given to a character - ever. First she was male, with straight hair, brown eyes and was quite skinny. Then he grew taller, gained some muscles and his hair got messier, but still straight. Farren progressed until he was short, slightly muscular with red eyes and curly hair. And a woman. She and Mathus switched genders at some point during my planning process. Mathus used to be Madi.
Talk about an identity crisis.
