Kove asked K.D. Edwards:

Hi K.D.! I wanted to know if you have a compendium with physical descriptions of your characters for drawing references? I really enjoyed your books and novellas and have this really strong desire to draw your characters, but I'm also trying not to be influenced by other fan art. I want to draw them like how I imagined but with some details I might have missed. Thanks!

K.D. Edwards This is actually a very interesting question. There is a Tarot Sequence WIKI out there -- reader-made and reader-updated. It may have descriptions. But for the most part, no, I don't like storing physical character details. The reason is because I LOVE the idea that different readers imagine characters in different ways.

I give you the brush strokes -- such as Brand's blue eyes and black hair. But I like readers having some autonomy in how they imagine them. My head cannons are not necessarily reader head cannons, in other words.

Micah really, really does a wonderful job with Rune on the cover art. There's an alternate cover for the upcoming Eidolon that absolutely captures who I think of the prophet Quinn. Those are two good images.

If you follow me on Twitter (sigh, Twitter), feel free to reach out or DM me. Or contact me through my website. I can give you hints on individual characters if you really want.
