For this book this first image grabbed my attention immediately. I like the art style for this character compared to a lot of the other characters in this book. When I see the character I imagine that this elf looking character could be a bounty hunter. He looks like he is a serious person and gets anything done his way. He doesn't listen to anyone unless there is money involved. I imagine that he is swift and sneaky and he slices his enemies/victims in half or decapitates them with his katana.

            For the second image it grabbed my attention as well. The art style is similar to how I draw. This character looks like a very intense rogue ninja or some sort. I don't know what it is about me but I find that when characters wield katanas they instantly become bad ass. He looks like his sister died because of the village. The villages head captain betrayed him and killed his sister. This made him turn rogue against the village and him planning on the day he will take revenge. His physical characteristics look really cool.

            For the first photo it has this pop art punk vibe to it. The photo looks like an album cover to a song.
            For the second photo it looks like it could be the cover art for a movie or TV show. A Romance movie/TV show where he is blinded by the simple things he does not do for her. As much as she loves him he must let him go until he finally realises what really matters. There will be obstacles he will have to surpass and overcome. There will be regret and sadness but it is all for the better good. It is up to him to realise what is wrong and how he can truly do to fix it before it is to late and the love is gone forever.
