As promised today, I was gonna start posting some character designs from the book. This particular character will appear throughout each story of TRAINWRCKT. He 'll be the where's waldo of the book. I wanted a "Gentleman Killer" feel, something like an old composer or conductor. I wanted him draped in white though, so the only real tones of his body would be his skin. He still feels a little heavy, I think thinner would be better. A more distinct nose as well. I was gonna have something a little more dramatic like him holding a pistol or something but a rosebud seemed to fit just a little more. The gentleman killer...there something just cold about that.
Have you ever had one of those days or moments you just wanted to keep the sun from going down, cause you know it might not get that way the next day. If you could, you'd keep pushing the sun back up as high as you could so time just wouldn't have any meaning. Those are the days I love, I try and keep them in my head as long as I can. Hell I've tried doing it for about a year now....I wanted this character to have that in him. You'd see his face and know what he was there for, but behind it there was something else. Something lonely...like he lost something and couldn't get it back. Like I said, this was the initial first draft of the character and the changes have already been made, so hopefully you guys 'll enjoy it when it comes out. I might just put him up some time soon....just to show off.
