A couple more pictures of Edmond, just because I love him so much. He was waiting (im)patiently to take pictures with Emily. And, yes, next time you'll get to see Edmond and Emily together (finally). 
Photo Mosaics: Tahlvin and Brandee

And now it's Tahlvin and Brandee's turn to be examined. A little word of warning, a couple of the pictures are a little risqué, but these characters did start out in an erotica story so I had to incorporate a sample of that into their mosaics. There might also be a double-entendre thrown into the mix. Can you find it? 
I should explain that Tahlvin was born in Seattle back in 1900, at the tail end of the Klondike Gold Rush (during which Tavia, his mother, and Koryll, his father, got reacquainted). So, that's why the caption to the picture that I used as his birthplace is titled "Seattle – gateway to the Klondike". I thought a long time about using an actual photo of Seattle circa 1900, but Tahlvin has always struck me as being very modern (he readily adopts the fashion and customs of whatever era he's in) so I decided to go with the picture of present day Seattle instead.

Photo Mosaics: Edmond and Emily

So, I'm doing a photo mosaic meme again; however, this time I'm using it as tool to examine my characters (namely Edmond and Emily) in depth. This version of the meme was started by S.B and Gayl. Thanks for the brilliant idea, ladies!
It was a little more challenging than I thought it would be. I was sure that I knew my characters really well, but they surprised me with some of their answers. It was an interesting exercise and great way to put myself into their minds.

Introducing Emily Shadowtalon in her doll incarnation:
She's not quite complete though. First of all, this isn't her final face-up. She'll be getting her a new one in April (I made an appointment with the artist back in January). I had Supiadoll (the company she came from) give her the current face-up so that I could at least enjoy her until she goes to get her permanent look. Unfortunately, at the moment she has reddish eyebrows, hence the heavy fringe strategically hiding her brows. haha
Also, while she's away, I'll be doing her body blushing and giving her tattoos (the most important tattoo being the one on her hand that matches Tahlvin's—it's their clan tattoo). I'm a bit nervous about that. I've never done tattoos before–that is hand drawn tatts instead of water transfer ones.
