I’ve been having so much fun developing the backstories for the characters in my novel Eyes of a Dragon that I decided to do a series of sketches illustrating their past. Here’s the first two:
Nayori Trevaulle accompanying her merchant father on a routine business trip, shown here with his wagon driver at the time. I picked a more cartoony style for this drawing because I thought it suited the scene better. I also didn’t know until I drew this that Nayori had freckles, though she does seem the type. This scene takes place 5-7 years before the story.
Krisiniel Shiani, the most educated of the humble Krisiniels for her gift with magic, practicing her calligraphy at home. This was the drawing I actually did first, and as it’s more of a visual expression than a specific illustration, really, it could happen almost anytime prior to the story, though she does look a little older than I intended her to.
Look for illustrations of other characters to come! Although, I suppose I have already done a picture from Marlin’s past.
