Locke Lamora Read-Along Bonus #3: Early Visual Aids

Mar 17, 2012 22:51

While I very, very rarely create characters that are visually based on living (or once-living) actors and celebrities, it does happen from time to time.

Anna-Maria's art is stunning. Locke with cats! I love it.

Get ALL the cats! And bring along a DVD and CD of the musical. And all the plushies. And a tamagotchi.

A sneak peek at a new character? You spoil us, Scott.

Locke and his furry friends look like they get along very well.

Oh gods, that is classic internet! All sorts of interesting information in there, but now all I can think about is adorable cats.

Thanks for the awesome insights and artwork!

I love this series of posts. The Jean of your mind (or at least the picture you posted) is quite a bit slimmer than the Jean I imagine. I picture him as more of a wrestler-build. How do you pronounce his name, by the way? I say Jan (rather French pronunciation), but I imagine a lot of people say Jeen.
