Another page from my smudgy sketchbook. This time I\u2019m trying to figure out Audra\u2019s look for the Black Mark series<\/a>. She makes her introduction in the third book, Fire and Foxholes<\/a>. Here, I\u2019m trying out different faces and hairstyles for the towering aviatrix.<\/p>\n

Here, I had a small dilemma while redesigning her. The story is set in an equivalent of 1932. Short hair for women is all the rage and highly fashionable. Would Audra cut her hair short? Her original design called for long golden locks.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I decided against Audra cropping her hair to a bob. She\u2019s so tall and strong that she would keep her long hair to prevent people from mistaking her for a man.<\/p>\n

The challenge in her design is to make her imposing, yet still feminine. I added the bangs to soften her face and keep her from looking too angular.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
