So I've been in the artsy sort of mood lately, and since it's October that means NaNo prep time. And artsy + NaNo = Novel Cover.
I ran into a few problems with this, though. Mostly that I've only got about one paragraph of plot, meaning I don't know much about what's going to happen yet. So I had no idea about what the rest of the plot was. Thus, I had to figure out characters.
I already had my MC figured out. I just had to name him. While I drew him I decided his name was Bob. Then because of his background, it's actually short for Roberto, and sometimes he goes by Bobby. And he's a cop, hence the shirt.
To the right is Bob's younger brother Donato. I think I've decided he's the villain of this piece. Hence why he's a little darker coloured and disappearing into some sort of vortex. No, I don't think this is sci-fi, so he won't be disappearing into any real vortexes in the story.
To the left is Bob's wife Selene. I'm not entirely sure what she has to do with the story yet, but she's his wife so I figure she'll play an important role of some kind. Note the glow between the married pair. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have them stay together during this story.
So now while I try to figure out what actually happens in the story, I'll have this lovely picture to look at... which will also help when I'm trying to physically describe them.
