Erle is Kinsey's husband. In writing the script his character has been developed beyond his role in the short story. I like the exploration of their relationship. And that's it for Inktober!
Character Design
Inktober 2018 #22 – Kinsey
For the penultimate character I've drawn Kinsey, who I've illustrated before but wanted to explore more. I'm writing a script of Kinsey's Sword and am beginning to think more about what her character will look like.
Inktober 2018 #21 – Hermux
Hermux Tantamoq is a watchmaker who is pulled into all sorts of adventures in Michael Hoeye's books. My drawing is from Hermux in Time Stops for No Mouse, the first in the series, but my favourite is The Sands of Time.
Inktober 2018 #19 & #20 – Trennte & Jeffrey

Miss Minton is a severe but wonderful woman in Eva Ibbotson's Journey to the River Sea, a beautiful book set in the early twentieth century about a young girl discovering the Amazon and the people who live there. I'll be drawing a couple more of the characters over...

Inktober 2018 #14 – Sarah
Back in 2009 I wrote The Dance for NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, which takes place every November. Sarah is a maidservant in the court of the king when a magnificent ball takes place. Though she is cleaning, Sarah is asked to dance ... For Sarah's...
