Doodle of potential character

Sometimes I doodle when I'm avoiding writing. This is a drawing I did based off the album Anatolia by Feed Me Jack (the artwork for that album is way cooler but I tried). I had an idea for this character called the Archivist. I wanted him (or her) to be gaunt and creepy.

After re-tooling the scene in the book, I ended up with a scholarly wizard-type older man with a beaky nose and a penchant for robes that look like something a Catholic priest might wear.

However, the drawing is fun so I thought I'd put it out there.

When the next book comes out - The Lullaby Lady - you can look forward to meeting the Archivist!
