Description Uploaded primarily for the sake of uploading; is really a dump. I was babysitting tonight and got very bored, and I also just recently finished the lovely "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare.
About the book- It took me a bit to get into, like some other stuff of hers, because she's not (in my opinion) very good at introducing characters (not that I could do better). On the other hand, she's wonderful at developing them and though the first 50 pages were a bit 'ho-hum' the last 350 were enthralling. I wish there was more to read, hate that it's over etc. etc. etc. and if I draw more of these characters do not be surprised.
I know they all look a bit alike; I tried very hard to make the two pictures of Clary the same, and tried to make the siblings the same... I don't think it worked, but it did serve to eat up the time, and technically I was payed seven dollars an hour for this (sort of).
Haha, I had to erase a note in Paint as to not spoil the ending, explaining the akward white blob.
I know the love arrows look a bit silly but they're honestly very good in the book. She does it much better than some other authors and it doesn't feel like a soap opera, even if it looks like one.

I love how you drew Clary and Isabelle best, but I like them all but Magnus. I dunno, he just doesn'y look sparkly enough in this drawing. I really like this though!

I just read the book, (I'm a little late, I know, lol) and it was fantastic. The whole Jace/Clary thing killed me at the end. I hope they aren't really brother and sister =\. I'm on my way to get City of Ashes now, haha.

Great drawing. Clary is perfect!

I absolutely love the way you drew Clary. That's exactly how I always pictured her looking in my head while reading.
Amazing sketches all around!

This is my favorite book! I'm about halfway through "City of Ashes" right now. It's so good! Just finished chapter 12!!!

this was a good book and your interpretations of Isabelle are good also. with the book i found that the brother and sister ending was predictable in the last couple of chapters

You think? I knew Clary was Valentine's daughter very early on, but I didn't figure out the sibling bit until it was revealed.

Love your pic and the book, but I really don't want to wait until April of next year for the second one *tear* But, I kinda think that you missed a piece of the character relation chart between Clary and Jace.......if you catch my drift

PS, love that you added Church and Raziel

Haha no I didn't miss it, I didn't want to spoil it for anyone so I had to really badly edit it out with MSPaint. I can't wait until April either!!

It's so depressing that all the aesome series that i read take a year each to come out (Mortal Instruments, Twilight, etc.) and it sux because you know that the author has already finished the book yet the publishing company sux and won't release it *hisses* EVIL PEOPLE!

LoL, i don't blame you, but for some reason.....i don't buy it. i dunno, i don't want it to be tru, but if it is then *I* can have Jace (me and my friend already share custody of him )

Oh. My. God. I'm reading that book right now! It's amazing! And I agree with you...she's not an expert at introducing characters. She kinda just plops them in your lap, like 'oh, here's another character, remember their name.'

I looove these sketches! They look just the way I'd imagined the characters! ^^ Very, very nice!

HarrilyEverAfter In reply to Koofins [2008-06-30 00:16:11 +0000 UTC]

She started out as a fanfiction writer, so she didn't have to make her own characters for those stories. That's probably why her character developement skills are slightly weak.

that's really very flattering, to say they look like how you imagined them! Thanks so much

You're welcome, and it's all true! ^^ It makes me want to draw some of the scenes from the book. If I weren't so unhappy with the ending, that is. >.< *is bitter about it*

Don't worry. I don't think they're really bro and sis.

I hope not. It would make me very unhappy. D:

Haha, I feel that, the ending is pretty depressing... but in such a fantastic way! I'd love to see how you saw scenes from the book (if that makes any sense)

Koofins In reply to baileykitten [2007-04-12 01:28:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it does make sense. ^^ And I'll definately do some sketches! I've been itching for a change in scenery for a while.
