I'm so excited that I can finally start revealing to you some character portraits I've been working on for the lovely author Shannon Messenger for her series, Keeper of the Lost Cities.
Here is the first batch that has been released!
Here are the characters in order:
Sophie: our main girl! She was raised by humans in the modern world but finds out that she is actually an elf and belongs in the hidden elven world! Not only is she an elf but she was created as part of "project moonlark," and is one of the most powerful elves their world has ever seen. While trying to save the world with her friends, she also navigates adjusting to this new reality, going to school, and balancing friendships and crushes! It's a fun ride!
Tam: He is a "shade", meaning he controls shadows and darkness. Also the Twin brother of Linh!
Linh: Here is lovely Linh! She controls water and is Tam's twin sister!
Biana: She is part of the prestigious Vacker family and while she is very much a girly girl, she also proves to be formidable and resourceful in a fight as the story progresses! I won't spoil her ability since she develops it later in the book, in case any of you decide to pick up the series.
If you are interested in seeing sketches, lineart, previous versions, thoughts behind the process, and process timelapse videos, all of that is available in the pledged posts!
