Random: Evidence of Me Getting Desperate

I grew to hate three images Em had for the cover of The Ghost of the Moor (thanks, Laura, for the correction!), so I just said, “Sod it. Let’s experiment!”

These two are rough sketches of a woman. Note: I didn’t have a sketch pad in my bag when I was in the waiting room at doctor’s, so I used a pad of Post-It notes that I had in my bag.

So here goes (seeing how cartoon-like those women look, my drawing skills really are crappy. I’m sorry):

I thought she looked a bit evil, which might be off-putting.
(I’m not sure why it came up green-ish. It was supposed to be grey and pale yellow. Am too lazy to correct the gamma.)

So I created another, but it wasn’t any better:

That was when my mind simply fell apart and so, I scanned those sketches in and abused Photoshop to see what it’d come up with. Here’s the result:

Yeah, I know. (head desk)

I’d better crawl to bed and pretend I didn’t create that. Maybe some time during the night I’d have a better idea. Probably not, but I’m hopeful. Well, I have to be because I have only three weeks left. Where did time go, damn it?
