Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Fix

fixsummerknight

Fix is a small skinny guy in a second hand suit. I did my best to have the suit be too big on him and have been patched up but still be stained here and there. Fix grows up to be more formidable and confident in later books, but he’s never described as handsome. So I I tired to make him look innocent and kinda goofy looking but have the general shape of his head be something that when hardened up later would look at least tougher. Since I’ve been have all the fairies foreheads go straight into the bridge of their nose I wanted Fix’s to almost do that. Fix’s hair is described as tufty so desided to make it stick up in places. This way he’ll be a complete contrast to his buddy Ace.

Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Mr Grumm

Mr. Grumm is described as looking like he comes for Thugs ‘R’ Us. He’s got a worn sweater and a bowler hat. Everything else about him says King Kong. I gave him big thick caveman eyebrows and large broken looking nose. He is basically every sterotype of a thug. That is until he turns into what he really looks like which is a troll.

Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Bob

Much like Mister, Bob doesn’t change from book to book. So here is a repeat of my Grave Peril image and here is a copy of my notes. Easiest Dresden Character to draw. Bob the Skull. I decided that the lights in his eyes would change shape and move to show his expressions and emotions. Other than that he’s just a Skull.

Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Mister

Mister’s appearance doesn’t change so this is the same image from my Grave Peril booklet. And here’s a repeat of my notes.  He’s freakishly huge, thought to be part wild cat because of his size and tuffs on his ears. Based on that he’s probably a Maine Coon. That was easy enough to find reference for. They are big and puffy. Mister also has part of his tail missing, and I wanted to make sure the way it cuts off is sudden. And you know because he’s a cat he doesn’t care about anything.

Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Eliane

And for Harry’s birthday we have his first love Eliane. Eliane is as tall and graceful so I looked up professional dancers. So long legs and arms but a decent about of muscle. Even though she’s just wearing a t-shirt and jeans when she first shows up her introduction is pretty femme fatale worthy. So I looked up ladies from old noir movies and picture one that was on the less dark and sexy side of the spectrum. Someone who isn’t too obviously good or bad. I also gave her a longer face because that way she mirrors Harry slightly, since through out the whole series they both foil one another.
