That looks AMAZING!!!:D
Awww, thank you for saying that!!! It warms my heart to know you love them so much!!! *I just pinned up the illustration of Caira holding the sword to Newton on my bulletin board and it looks AMAZING!!!* Yes, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM and I will continue to love them FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!!! 😀 I had no idea you were such a talented artist (I mean, I knew of course you were talented, but I was amazed by these so much)!!! Yes, you did! I can’t promise I’d be any good (or draw them quickly–I can be quite slow, my apologies), but please share some descriptions! And, illustrating aside, I’d love to hear what they look like anyways!
Hmm… what’s the word I should say…? *thinks hard* How about bookmark? No, that’s too ordinary. Tree branch? Nope, that’s two words… Ah! … Marshmallow. That’s the secret word for you to share your descriptions. (I’m a little weird, you’ll have to excuse my quirkiness XD) Okay, so now that the word has been said, YES, I’d love to try!:) Again, no high hopes or promises, because I’m still a novice illustrator, but it would be fun to try!:)
Thank you!! 🙂 But @mkfairygirl is the one who really put it all together 😉
@abigail-m OH MY GOODNESS, Abigail!! You’re drawings of Caira, Newton, and Deek are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just amazed right now at how AWESOME they look!!!!!!!

Fall in love with JesusYes, of course!! You did an utterly amazing job, and I’m so glad that I have a bookmark made by one of my story’s fans!! It’s just the best feeling ever!! 😀 Thank you a million times over for making it for me!! And no problem–I thought it would be neat to post a pic of it and share what it looks like:) I know, Abigail did such an amazing job! Now I have illustrations and an amazing bookmark? YAY!!! That makes me so happy!!! 😀 😀 😀
Aw, it makes me SO happy that you pinned it on your bulletin board!! 😀 Gosh, I’m probably as happy as you are that you like them so much!!!:) Thank you!!!!!!:D
No worries:) I mean, I wasn’t too speedy myself; I’m sure they’ll be awesome:) I mean, I’m just so happy that you want to draw them:D OOH! Marshmallow is a perfect word!! Okay, so let’s see…
(This might take a little bit to write out their descriptions, but I’m on it straight away! *riiiiight now:)*
Okay, so I believe I’ll begin with Mejia:) But to be honest I’ll just show you the picture that inspired her because I couldn’t describe it as well as this image does:)
Aside from being slightly younger than Mejia herself, and that being the wrong sword style, and there being no scar on the right side of her face, this image looks just about exactly like her!:) I mean, I may have to alter her clothing somewhat, later on, (since this isn’t my design), but this is what it looks like until then, (and even so, her new clothes design will still resemble this one in some ways:)
Next is Lila:)
Lila is shorter than Mejia and has long thick wheat-colored hair, that she’ll string an occasional braid in, but it usually gets lost among the rest of her locks. She interestingly enough has one blue eye and one green eye which she despises, even though Mejia tells her it doesn’t affect her sight so she shouldn’t worry about it. Then Anton tells her that it makes her eyes look special and afterward she doesn’t feel so bad about it. Lila also has only one leg, her right leg was lost long before the story begins. Her face is heart-shaped and her skin is light-colored, (actually, since the whole cast is Russian they’re all light-colored for the most part). She wears large Russian-style rabbit fur boots with bronze buckles; loose whitish-light-greenish-colored main clothes; and a darker green and brown long overcoat that Mejia buys for her from the Ivatoust village.Morio mostly wears dark grey and black clothes. He is the tallest of my immediate cast, but only by two or three inches. His charcoal hair is partly shaggy partly curled, but not messy necessarily. His eye color is fractured between grey and brown and his face is mostly diamond-shaped, (he looks slightly older than he is). He has several scars on his left hand and one very small one above his left eye. His weapon of choice, (as Mejia’s is her sword), is his staff as well as a dagger he keeps in his left boot since he’s left-handed. He has heavy dark leather gloves, a tattered black short-cloak, and an iron heirloom penannular that he wears on his right front shoulder. He later sells the penannular in trade for a place for Lila to stay in Destal, (Destal is the larger village), before he meets with Artur’s soldiers and joins them, (I may change what he trades his penannular for, but that’s what it is for now).
Anton has brownish ruddy colored hair and it is pretty shaggy, (tbh I LOVE shaggy hairstyles on guy characters). He is the scrawniest of my characters and is just about as tall as Lila. Due to him being scrawny, his knee-high leather boots are about an inch too wide for him and his clothes look bigger than they really are. His face is more of a diamond shape than anything else, (but looks more like the style I used for Deek in the first illustration:) He, like Lila, doesn’t have a weapon of choice since he can wield few and use them rarely. He usually wears red and brown clothes that are a few shades darker than his hair and a long, wide, and thick strip of fabric that he uses a large scarf-style cape. His eyes are deep green and Anton often carries a satchel of bottled medicines and small basic tools.
And last but not least, there is Filip.
Filip’s height is somewhere between Morio’s and Mejia’s. His face is partly diamond-shaped, his jaw coming down in a V. His face is a slightly rough, but is a very personable and expressive one. His eyes are a gleaming goldish-brown, and his light choco-colored hair is the most shaggy and unkempt out of all of them. He’s an archer (technically the younger son of the late Leader) that comes from a region right outside Birch Woods. He is third to be Leader since his older brother and cousin are before him. So that gives him the freedom of being an archer and part of Mejia’s band. So since he’s an archer, he rarely does much for his hair except cut it with a dagger when it grows too long, (needless to say if you ever saw him, he’s very bad at it). He wears a archer’s uniform that is traditional in his band, complete with a tan and dark brown cloak, bronze buttoned vest, white Medieval style shirt, arm-length dusky brown gloves, and knee-high boots that fold over at the top. Filip’s weapon of choice is of course his longbow that he wears across his shoulder alongside his quiver of bows.…So that’s basically what they look like:)
Thank you so much, Katherine!!! 😀 😀 😀
THANK YOU so much for writing these descriptions (I love reading character descriptions, so it was a pure pleasure to read)!!! And, oddly enough, that’s actually very similar to how I pictured them in my head 🙂 Especially Anton and Filip. So no promises about how my illustrating skills are (I’m still a novice), but I just wanted your permission to borrow your characters if I ever found the time to sketch them:) So thank you for letting me use them! (Also, I KNOW, I love shaggy hairstyles on guys–hence why both Newton and Deek have very messy hairdos XD) Those are so detailed, too! Thank you for sharing–I’ll DEFINITELY reference this a million times when I try my hand at illustrating them 😉 *sighs* I can’t tell you how in love with this story I am! These characters get better by the minute!!
NP:) I really enjoyed writing them!:) I’m super excited that you want to draw them:D
(Definitely!:) And I love Newton and Deek’s hairstyles! I mean it’s one of the hundred million reasons why they’re so awesome. But you know what, I’d still love them even if they didn’t have shaggy hairstyles:) But I’m glad they do).
Aw, thank you SO much!!!:D I mean that means SOOO much!! 😀 😀 😀@abigail-m You’re welcome, Abigail!!!! 🙂

Fall in love with JesusI’m not sure if this belongs in this category, but I used Artbreeder a little while back to create Caira and Deek (a.k.a. the twins that look nothing alike XD) and I thought I’d post them. They aren’t 100% accurate, but the closest I could get:)

@writerlexi1216 Those are awesome! (Not exactly how I imagine them, either, but still really good!)
