Artists take note:  Cass is tall and slender, but not "skinny".  She's 5'9"and weighs 105 lbs, like a model.  She is healthy and athletic, but not musclebound.  Her hair is naturally blonde, but she bleaches it to a much paler shade.  Her hair is naturally straight but she uses a curling iron to add the little inward curl in front.

     She has a round or heart-shaped face, with a button nose.  Do not give her a long face or sunken cheeks—that's not how she looks.  Her lips are somewhat thin (or, at least, they're not thick) and she does not wear lipstick (just gloss, which adds no shade).  Her eyes are gray, expressing her intelligence, compassion, and determination.  Her eyebrows are medium size, and brown, not pale or skinny.

     Cass is confident and brave.  She carries within her an inner calm.  She might be surprised by the sudden appearance of a monster, but she is never afraid, not even of death.  After all, she's died before and she's always gotten over it.  In other words, she believes in reincarnation.

     This is very important: Cass has a very small bosom.  Not quite flat, but she's an A-cup.  If you give her a C-cup and say, "That's the way I draw women," then you need to realize that not all women have the same cookie-cutter shape.  Draw her correctly or draw someone else's character.

     Samples below includes images of Cass, but also other characters and ideas for the sort of mood, atmosphere, variety, and detail that I need in future books.  Some of these sample pages were penciled and inked by me, some were penciled by me and inked by others, and some were the work of guest artists.
