cornish & the changeling #7

David faced a couple of challenges while illustrating the beginning of the The Changeling. One of them was representing a character who is completely invisible. The glowing eyes peering out of the shadows in this picture is one way he came up with to do just that. It's not in the story, but it is visually effective.

I also love the lizard perched to one side of poor thin, little Ros, and the serpentine curves of the blood-worker's posture. Creepy.



"Ros caught the man looking up at where he crouched behind a cracked water trough. He felt Kuller's gaze cut right through the weathered stonework to where he was hiding, and he froze in fear."
