Emma Cast Line-Up

Before anyone jumps out of their seats thinking this is Emma Carstairs (from Cassandra Clare's The Dark Artifices series in progress) it's not. This is my Emma, Emma A. Claire who is not a tribute in any shape or form to Cassie or her works even though I'm aware how much it looks like it *bangs head on the wall*.

So I know a lot of you come to my gallery for the Disney or the various book fanarts but I'm hoping some of you like my style enough to take an interest in some original stuff of mine.

Allison and Cameron Claire are Emma's parents.

Robin and Stephan end up being Emma's guardians of sorts.

And Emma...well Emma has a massive chip on her shoulder and a rather nice bag too.

Emma is actually named for my cousins Emma, Amanda and Clara, hence Emma A. Claire. (on an unrelated not this gives her the initials EAC, the same initials as another character of mine Aella Celeste Ezra, this was co-incidence)

I've been compiling ideas for Emma for a while now and they're starting to knit together so not only will I be colouring this at a later date but I will be extending it as new characters are finalised, with names.

This is the first time I've put Allison and Cameron on paper and I'm happy with how they turned out.

Robin has changed since his first incarnation but at that point he didn't have a personality just a vague idea so now his look more reflects him.

Stephan got hot. That's all I'm saying.

As for Emma, she was always meant to be a red-head. Disney's Ariel was a massive influence when I was young, all my heroines are red-heads, I have yet to make one that isn't (terrible I know). I tossed back and forth about whether I should make her hair brown as I was concerned that people who knew me as a fan of The Mortal Instruments series would just see her as a Mary-Sue rendition of Clary. In the end I decided to go with red, it was my original intention and there are a lot more red-headed heroines than Clary in the world and even in the books I've read, so I'm sticking to my guns.

Rest assured I'll be drawing more of these guys but do you want to hear about it? I'm not going to post the story as it is my intention to see it in print one day, but maybe character synopsis, small scenes etc. Would you like to see any of these things? Let me know what you think in a comment please?
