How much detail do you use to describe your settings?

Far far too much I fear, but that’s how I like to do art.

There’s some Gô TANABE vibes in this panel, don’t you think?

#writerscoffeeclub 19/11/2024 Have still images ever inspired your writing?

I’ve been inspired by several artists, from John Byrne to Paolo Serpieri. For Esther and Erie more precisely, Charles Dana Gibson has been the main inspiration.

#wordweavers 08/11/2024 SC POV: Who knows your deepest secrets?

Erie: “Lady d’Arcy… she maid me, she often joked about it when she corrected me… she knows everything about me, being the cause of my deepest secrets”

#writerscoffeeclub 04/09/2024 Do you have specific goals when creating a scene?

Immerse readers in the story and makes them feel the different emotions my characters go through. I reuse my art for #wordweavers yesterday’s question.

#wordweavers 03/09/2024 What's the first thing that happens in your story that makes your MC do something unusual?

In fact, Esther did something unusual even before the beginning of the story: she brings back Erie with her!

Some panels come easily, but those three have been difficult… 1/2
