Drawing and Writing

I like writing, and drawing; in the amateurish sense of the words. So I had this GENIUS idea to combine the two. I've sketched a couple of my characters, and thought it would be interesting to compare to previously shown illustrations: (click to expand)

  Yes, they do both show the same people: which is kind of strange, because although they are both very different, I feel like they both convey something of the personas that I was attempting to write. Then I decided to add text from the book, which gives you a third interpretation, so to speak, from which the visual images were taken. (Hope you can read that...?) So, not exactly literary genius, but just points in my writing where I feel the appearance of the character is conveyed. Another thing I like is when you look at fan art, and think yes! That is EXACTLY how I imagined them! Which actually happens quite often, but when the film comes out.. well... (Yes, we all know what I'm referring to, yah?) So eh. That was a bit random. But that is the sole purpose of blogging, right? Random thoughts? Even if no one reads it? Yep, I should probably stop now...
