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.
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.
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.
