Sketch of another character

Here is another sketch of one of the main characters -the only woman. I can't reveal much about her, only that her name is Layla, as I have written on the drawing.

I spent a few pleasant hours working on it (probably too long for such a simple drawing) trying to get her to look the way I imagine her, and I am very happy with the result!

Sketch of a character

Whoever has taken the time to read the summary of 'Wielding Crimson' will have seen that one of the main characters is Philip. He is a young man with supernatural powers, and he belongs to a community of beings living in secret in our world. They are called Wielders, because they can each 'wield' a distinct and single thing; a force of nature, an element, a material, a physical force, anything that exists on the earth, making it what it is. Also, wielders can be either producers or controllers, meaning that they can either produce something from their own body, or control something that already exists in their vicinity.

Philip is one of my favorite characters because he has the ability to wield light. Although he actually produces minute suns, it is called 'light wielding' because the light produced from it makes the molten plasma that forms the nucleus near invisible to the naked eye. As all wielders, he is impenetrable to his own wielding kind, that means that other light wielders cannot hurt him and vice versa.

I felt particularly inspired today thinking of him, so I drew up a quick sketch of Philip from a scene early on in the book. I can’t say more, but feel free to make your own assumptions as to what is going on…
