A lot of the time, I dream of my characters - usually when I am sleeping. Sometimes, I just happen to have a situation happen IRL and a character comes to champion me and say, ‘hey, this isn’t cool. How about you- the douchebag bothering author- go do this before I do that.’ Or something similar to that 😆. I wish, wish, WISH I could illustrate my characters. I know for a fact it would help me to keep a pin on who they are, their behaviors, and their wardrobe- what makes them tick. I’ve often thought of trying to find an illustrator to help me bring them to life. I know how they dress and want to appear and I just can’t get it down- especially when so many want to speak all at once. I did a short story, or what-have- you, called Affinity of Crows. It is a pretty interesting story, if a little rushed at the end. One that I did for Writetober probably about 2-3 years ago? But the character came to me, sullen, at the mostly are 😅 and I watched like a movie screen a scene that had came to mind. I think it’s pretty cool to dream and create characters like that. It’s like they give you a peek into their lives.
I am EXCITED to read this prequel. I love the drawings of Welkin and Emandi. Sadly, I am afraid I don’t know who they could be on the tv screen. I was thinking for Welkin- Legolas. And for Emandi, a thunder cat? But something tells me I’m wrong... anyway, KEEP DOING GREAT THINGS! 💜
I love that you dream about your characters! I’ve only had that happen a few times in my life, but I’d love if it happened more often. I also sometimes imagine how my characters would interact in my day-to-day life — it’s a surprisingly good way to get to know them!
As for your guesses, both are good ideas but nope on both counts!
Your drawings are really good .
Thank you for saying so!
