The artist's sketch matched my vision and word-paintings. Perhaps the difference is in the wings being spread out? They are massive but I do know the wings in a lot of my stories are described as being tucked up and back, like the traditional views of angels. Food for thought . . . <br /><br />Again, thanks for stopping by! <br /><br /> Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966048015900583351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267703129275299597.post-79513485121534639512013-02-14T12:34:09.036-08:002013-02-14T12:34:09.036-08:00Hi, Rita--

My "muse" is affectionately known by me as "The Kid"--he lives in the basement of my mind, but that's a tale all by itself.<br /><br />Anyway, Adrada is not your ordinary archangel. How could he be with those gigantic gold wings edged in mournful purple? He's as handsome as he is intelligent, and he is also very quiet, stoic, and seldom smiles--but he does have a sense of humor and dry wit.<br /><br />As to his name, The Kid/my muse provided it but it took me awhile to chase down the origins and find the archetype root for it. Adrada was originally Angel #7878, created for a planet in my universe called Balakajar. As it happens, Adrada was named for the clipper ship on which he earned his golden archangel wings--and why he prefers "poet's shirts and baggy pants." Again, longer story . . .<br /><br />As to the artistry, that's right on because Adrada has a whipcord leanness of power, one that belies his awesome abilities.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and asking such interesting questions!<br />Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966048015900583351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267703129275299597.post-56630054883293513962013-02-14T12:21:11.953-08:002013-02-14T12:21:11.953-08:00marc really appreciates all your help on his writi...marc really appreciates all your help on his writing ar SVP. i'm so happy about all your successes with publication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267703129275299597.post-72085709574994868002013-02-14T09:16:38.848-08:002013-02-14T09:16:38.848-08:00Congratulations, Catherine!

I do agree with Rita, however, the image doesn't match the archangel you portray in your books.Al Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107619009321980764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267703129275299597.post-13152075726635803452013-02-14T09:05:21.062-08:002013-02-14T09:05:21.062-08:00I'm interested in your Adrada.

(I think you need a better illustrator, tho. His body doesn't convey the power that you say he has.)Rita Meachamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642642179737752031noreply@blogger.com
