Literary Endorsement

[tealin]

For the past few months I have been enjoying a novel being written by copperbadge and posted serially on the community jack_and_ellis. It started off entertaining and has gotten steadily more awesome with every twist in the story. In most of the fantasy genre, the presence of magic precludes the development of technology, but this is about a world not terribly unlike our own where they're industrializing anyway; it's all refreshingly well thought-out and the world is all full of interesting implications. On top of general steampunky coolness, it's got espionage, engineering, Australia, parties, and pirates! What more could you ask for?

Anyway, I couldn't resist trying my hand at some of the characters, with mixed results ... they're posted here, but if you want to know who they are before looking at them, you can start with Chapter One. Enjoy!

First of all - Thank you for putting me onto Sam's lovely writing, and equally lovly characters.

Second - Am I sensing some Helquisty influence in your Clare drawings? I think it was something in the shape of her face... I could be wrong, of course.

Well, I've got Helquisty influence spread so thick and deep it's impossible to tell exactly when it pops up. Possibly! I think I was drawing more on my previous attempts to caricature Miranda Otto, though. Consciously, anyway.
