I have some doubts about the appearance of Derek too. LOL. Let’s just say that in the fan art I’ve seen, he’s usually much better looking than he is in my mind, which means I should just keep my own image to myself and let readers see him however they want :)
I was just advising an artist on the cover for Atoning, and we decided to do Chloe with Derek…except Derek is in wolf form because that means no one will be disappointed by “my” version of Derek! Even when an artist takes direction from me, though, it’s never 100% accurate. It just can’t be. The best I can hope for is “Sure, that could be Chloe/Derek/Maya/Daniel.” It’s impossible to transmit the image in my head to anyone. I just know when a picture is “close enough” or not.
