I had a curious person ask me what the main character in my wip looks like. I’ve had a very clear mental picture of Calliope for sometime now, so when I stumbled onto J. Corsentino’s site and found a picture that looks so much like what I had in mind, I was ecstatic.

Behold: J. Corsentino’s “Something Wicked”, a pretty dang close idea of what Calliope looks like (even down to the interesting henna-looking tats) :

Calliope is not a faerie (she’s more along the lines of elflike), so yank off her adorable wings… but other than that, it’s close. Calliope is on the side of good, but she has an evil twin sister. So also imagine a character who looks similar, but less “mischievous” and more just dark and evil… like, she’ll stab you without thinking twice… and then laugh at you about how dumb you look when you’re in pain.

J. Corsentino is a photographer who does faeries, angels, and vampires living in settings of urban decay. And I love them. I have his first book (which sadly, in my humble opinion, doesn’t have some of his best shots in it. I think he’s gotten better as he’s gone along.). If you’re into fantasy, his pictures are pretty creatively inspiring. Here’s the link for his site.

And that is all… carry on. (btw- word count is now nicely above 40k.)

1. that is awesome! I can’t wait to read her story! I love having a nice picture of what the character might look like before you read the story. Keep up the good work!
