Casting call - Blog Hop (The character chalange part 2)

Told you I had fuel for another post on characters these days. I would've done this faster if I didn't have so much crap to do yesterday - but it was a productive day none-the-less, and it ended with a pretty much sleepless night because I had the wrong idea to drink an espresso at 7 in the evening  (not exactly my smartest move).

So, here's the deal with this awesome picture. Some lovely ladies ( Carrie, Melodie and Lisa) decided it would be fun to present some of our characters/stories with some visual aid (like pictures, photos, book-trailers or just plain drawings/scribbles).

I got the idea from Ian, so blame him for the tosh you're about to keep reading.

I suck at drawing. I wish I didn't, I wish I could really do it. Then I could draw my own characters the way I pictured them. But, alas, I am no good. I haven't drawn my characters since I was in grade school, and those drawings were sub-par to say the least.

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to use some Anime style drawings as my visual aid and give you a little something about some of my characters. Not all of them, since they're about a million. Also, I don't have any drawings of the characters in my more recent writing (since they're based off these guys/girls).

Let's get it on.

These are Sam and Christine (as says the clever text). Sam is the MC in my YA series. He's a bit of a geek, a lot of a thinker, very shy, and the leader of his secret agent division. He's also 18 (and I guess he looks younger here, but it's a drawing anyway).

Christine is his gorgeous and outgoing girlfriend. Here pictured wearing her innocent smile and childish clothes. Though you can bet she's wearing stilettos.

What's right about this picture: Hair and eye color for both of them. :)

This next one is actually one of my favorite pictures. I use it a lot.

So, the guy, Jimmy is Sam's older brother. Builder of many stuff, from traps to computers and multi-functional watches, he's also a kick-ass martial artist.

Jessie, (who can also be Rachel, since I thought of them looking the freaking same) has the orange curly hair and the fighting spirit.

These two a re a lot more accurate - they actually seem like they're fooling around, which they do a lot of.

Moving on to my final two pictures for you peeps.

You already know her. She's been featured on this site before as a Diva. This is Kay - my only blond characters so far, and my only blond important character of the series. (even if I'll start spawning blonds at some point). She's a feisty, stubborn, sensitive girl. She's a bit of a bi-polar character. She can fight her way out of something while crying and has brave moments and vulnerable moments. (don't we all?)

The guy...well, I know he doesn't look too happy. That's Kyle, sort of. (or Daniel, depending from which side of the fence you're watching this). He's Sam's oldest brother and the one who kinda does what he wants, when he wants to just because he feels like it. He's also the one who takes care of the others. And even if he looks dead serious and battle prone here (notice the nifty bullet-proof jacket :D), he fools around a lot. And turned sarcasm into an art.

This is it. That was fun. I still wish I could draw. Thanks to the creators of this idea for all the fun we've all had with this.
