I remember about five years ago, bashing out my first ever full length, original novel MS (that I look back on fondly, but with a certain amount of embarassment), I was about to engage somebody to paint a portrait of my main characters. Ultimately, I gave up on the idea, but was about to part with about $300 for a full-length portrait of two characters from a descriptive passage.
One of the unexpectedly great parts about this 'learning to draw' stint I've been on lately has been the ability to create my own concept and character art. This weekend I did some for a lark. Here's some concept paintings for my latest YA novel project, 'Mission'.

| 'Meph' - A character portrait. Meph is a Cyclops, having dug out his own eye at age 11. |

| The Titular Character, 'Mission' (left), sits in the room he will call home for the foreseeable future. It's lit only by a set of stolen traffic lights. Meph helps him acclimate. |
