Murphy’s first appearance in Summer Knight is in her bathroom due to Harry banging on her door in the middle of the night. She’s overly tired with bags under her eyes. Like with my Harry drawing I started with the old drawing I did of her for my Grave Peril booklet. She’s short and has a gymnasts build. One change I did make is I softened her jaw a slightly. In Grave Peril, Murphy’s hair fits under a baseball cap and here her hair has gotten slightly longer and just past her eyes.
I didn’t do headshots for Gatekeeper because in his first appearance you can’t see any of him. Even his hands are covered because he has them folded in his robe. He is tall, but you don’t get much more than that.
LaFrotier is compared to a skeleton. He has no hair, not even eyebrows. His eyes bulge out and his checks are sharp. The lake of eyebrows makes it hard for a character to emote so I gave him a heavy brow that can do the trick.
Ancient Mai is the old member of the senior council. Despite that she is described as not having too many lines on her face, so I tried not to go overboard with her wrinkles. Her eyes are described as watery which made me decided to give her that fold of skin over her eyes some old folks get.She is also described as frail looking so I made her thin and gave her that hunch you see especially in old women. Her hair is in a very long braid that wrapped up behind her head then held with combs.
Peabody doesn’t get much description in his first appearance. In fact he is kinda overlooked in all his appearances until Turn Coat. So he is described as prim and slim and with ink on his nose. I tried not to give him anything too outlandish in appearance, because then he could blend into the background.
