A few weeks ago, Kayla Matt contacted me about drawing the female characters of Windemere. She did an amazing job. Today, I’m showcasing her drawings of Nyx along with poems, videos, and an excerpt.
Nyx is the powerful sorceress, known as casters in Windemere, who joins Luke Callindor and friends for their second adventure. She has a penchant for fire magic and a short temper, which hides a vulnerable kindness that starts to appear as she gets used to her new friends. One of the challenges she will face is coming to terms with the fact that the gods chose her to face a coming darkness. This chosen one status makes her a character that tries not to think about a future she doesn’t have. She also struggles to figure out if she’s nothing more than a living weapon or a mortal with some form of free will

Check out Nyx in Legends of Windemere: Beginning of a Hero and Legends of Windemere: Prodigy of Rainbow Tower. Each book is for .99 cents. (Okay, she only shows up in the second book, but please buy both anyway.)

Not a criticism here, because I’m sure lots of people like the drawings of your characters, but I’m learning every time I open my WP Reader, scroll through the posts, and see the character sketches for Legends of Windemere that I’m not liking them. I form pictures in my head of characters when I read and the drawings are messing with those pictures. 😉

Interesting. I’m curious how you see them, especially the last three.

May be difficult for me to describe but Kellia was the one I had the most difficulty with. For some reason as I go through the second book she just comes across as almost Amazon like for some reason. At least to me.

Kellia is a tough one because she does come across as Amazon like. I see her toned, but not built like one would expect from her strength. So I can see what you mean.

The chaos elf queen — I thought her jewels were a different color. That may just be because I’m a guy and I don’t get colors.

They’re supposed to be violet/purple, but I think I only mention it once or twice in each book she’s in. Though I’m playing with the idea of her changing the color on whims.
