Novelist : WIP

Novelist : WIP

I've been working on three pieces to submit to iStockPhoto to be approved to sell stock there.  I didn't really have anything 'portfolio' worthy to submit, so I started this dude.  He's not only totally vector based, he's also an homage to National Novel Writing Month.  That frown, that wild hair, the tired eyes, that annoyed curl of his mouth, the mug of coffee, that finger poised over the delete key?  Yeah, it's so NaNo.  But it can also work as harried office worker, so there you go.  Stock.

He's not done.  He needs shadows in his shirt (which I can't wrap my mind around, and is stalling the hell out of this project), and a chair and some other things.  This is actually an older version of what I'll eventually submit - I changed the solids to gradients on nearly everything - but I really like it so far.  His face is so angular, which is different for me since I tend to make people more curvy, but this guy was crying out for a jutting brow bone and that nose.  And somehow it all works.

Speaking of NaNoWriMo, be there or be square.  My ambitious YA Fantasy Epic?  Yeah, it's so on.
