"This is great! I love the layout, I can picture it in my head; I've a lot of free time to kill at Gran's tomorrow, so I'll get most of it done then! One last question: what kind of style would you like it as? (How I draw people.)…"

Profile Information

Who are you?
I'm somebody somewhere who thinks this trilogy should be noticed, it holds a lot of talent and is way better than most rubbish out there.
I plan on being an author myself when I'm older, as well as a proof-reader.
What do you like about The Atavists Trilogy?
I like how you're immediately put into Zanni's shoes from the very first chapter; I like the tension between all the characters.
Why would you like to see this series get published?
Because there is so much rubbish that gets published out there, and it's usually about vampires; if it's not about vampires it doesn't get published, and I honestly think that there is way more to talent than being a vampire/werewolf/witch lover.

The example I sent to the original collaborator was from Rebound, a basketball manga that helped inspire the series. I'm not sure what category the artwork falls into (or if it's a style you use), but this is somewhat what I had in mind:

(Above is how I picture Toby, but with brown, spiky hair and straighter eyebrows!)

As for the characters: be sure to make them look a little older (19+) and, aside from Sean, not so sweet-looking. Give Zanni more of a heart-shaped face, and give her some meat/broad shoulders. Zanni is around 5'9/5'10, Toby is 6'3 (muscular), and Sean is 5'7 (baby-faced - think Tyler from Twilight).

(Of course, feel free to use whatever style you feel most comfortable using!)

No, it's actually Dani! 

I think I've told you the story since you've posted this comment, right? If not, it's a really boring story, hahahaha.

I'll take a look at Goodreads and see what I can do.
