Lost In Dreams Main Characters (My WIP)

                 The Main Characters From Lost In Dreams


Ellissa: A 16 year old girl who moves back to the island of her birth after her mom dies. She finds a letter suggesting that her parents were planning to leave the island right before her dad died in order to keep her safe. Safe from what, she has no idea. But her mom did move them away right after her father's funeral and refused to come back. Even for a visit. Ellissa's grandfather, who is giving her the love and attention her mom never gave her, wants her to "carry on the family legacy" and become a witch hunter. There's just one problem, Ellissa is a witch herself. Although, a very reluctant witch. Ellissa hates everything to do with magic and the occult. Occult research is what kept her mom away from home and left Ellissa to take care of her brother and sister all the years they were away from the island. But when Ellissa has one of her "true dreams" and sees her brother and sister killed by magic in the future, she has no choice but to learn enough magic to keep them safe. In order to do this, she has to ask the one boy she's trying to avoid for help. Her feelings for Caleb scare her. They are too strong and too intense. So asking him for help is the last thing she wants to do. But she'll risk anything to save her brother and sister, even her heart.

Caleb: A 17 year old boy whose ancestors date back to the Croatoan Indian Tribe who lived on the island before the first colonists arrived in the new world. He's been raised on stories about an evil shaman who 400 years ago used mind magic to lure the people of the island into becoming human sacrifices. A powerful witch, with the help of a young Indian warrior, cast a spell to lock the shaman's spirit in a tree. But the spell holding him will only last 200 years and then the witch and the warrior have to be reborn to renew it. It's almost time to renew the spell for the 2nd time and somewhere the witch and warrior have been reborn. Caleb's people are on a search to discover who it is. When Ellissa asks him for help, he jumps at the chance. His attraction to her is strong and anything that helps him get to know her better is a good thing in his eyes. He has no idea how much his loyalty to his people is about to be tested.

  1. Wow, how do you draw these pictures, Kimber? They look a bit digital? Digital art is AMAZING.

  2. Thanks, Cat! They are digital. I mostly use Poser, Daz Studio, Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop to create them. I've also collected quite a few add-ons (models, tubes, textures, etc) over the years to use in my digital art.

    In the picture above I took some purchased models and then altered them in Paint Shop and Photoshop. For example, Ellissa (the modern female) started out blond, with a darker skin tone, in a shirt that barely covered her boobs, no holes in her jeans, and in a pose with a different guy. I painted the rest of her shirt, the holes in the jeans, and her hair (using the brush tool, smudge, dodge, and burn). Then I lightened her skin tone and switched out the guy (also an altered model- he started out with shorter hair, less definition on his abs, different eyes, and a lighter skin tone).
