Almost a week into brain storming for this new web comic...

Almost a week into brain storming for this new web comic project, and I thought it might be fun to post some inspiration images. 

Eeeeeverybody knows Delirium’s face. Made popular in the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman, Delirium is exactly what she sounds like: the embodiment of, well, delirium, and delight. 

To go with Brian, our asexual siren in a polyamorous triad, we needed to figure out the rest of the triad. One of these was a faery. I may have been a little adamant about that. Our poly, bisexual, switch faery has a mouth on her and more curves than Delirium, but I totally wanted the kind of visual aesthetic of Delirium to be captured in this creature. 

Ville Valo is possibly less well known than Delirium, but he has a pretty face and, most importantly for this character inspiration, wonderful hair that, honestly, would look good on a person of any gender. 

Tobey is our gender-curious token-human who introduces our tribe of supernatural creatures to the wonder that is Melbourne coffee. When Yana asked me what kind of hair I imagined this character having, my mind immediately went to Ville.

Last, but certainly not least, is my very favourite piece of art by @deerishus. I’ve seriously loved it since I saw it, and I was never any great fan of centaurs. This image, however, decided me on having a centaur who was part of our cast. Just that, really. Deer showed me how cool a centaur really could be. 

Shannon is the third part of the poly triad with Brian and Donia, and is also in a separate relationship with Tobey. If you think this might be too much, don’t worry, we have our plans in place for how we’ll introduce them all so it doesn’t get too headachey.
