Lily’s eyes are blue….
But Gillian’s eyes are green. I think, certainly not the ice blue I had in my head for Lily. How much would it matter? Her hair isn’t quite right either. But just look at the expression, look at the eyes - isn’t that just stunning?

But for me it’s the poise, bearing and sheer presence that she exudes, everything else is cosmetic. How many people watch a film made from a book and declare “S/He isn’t how I imagined!” It’s all about interpretation and perception and those are so very personal.
I’ve been working on the Portal series for close to three years now and it feels very real some days.
Back to editing or you’ll not see Sundered by Christmas.

There’s always colored contacts!
