They're getting drawn into the story

It's a good thing that I'm a writer and not an artist, but I needed some visual aids to help sort out some of these characters. The problem is that I changed some names and still need to change a couple more. You see, I read Memoir by Margaret Atwood (wonderful, highly recommend it) and as one of the many asides and lessons in the book, she advised not to have two characters in the book with the same first initial. Who knew I was so attracted to G-names and J-names? The issue is, since I know these characters so well, and by their original names, I have confused myself with the new names. So, starting with these drawings - notice how the sizes of the paper is staggered accordisng to weight class- I am going to add characteristics, backgrounds, and personalities for each wrestler beside their own picture, double check with it as I re-edit. Again. And again. Wish me luck.




What a creative process. Look forward to meeting the G’s and J’s and the rest of the team.
Good luck! Cute guys!
