Concept Art: Iza Adle

I'm the author of a science fantasy series called Signature. My only published book so far is Rainbows Wane but I am working on publishing the sequel and in the process of writing a third book as well. To promote my books I make concept art of the characters and settings. I'd like to share my latest piece with you. This is Iza Adle.

Iza Adle is a main character in The Gatekeeper, the second book in the Signature series. Cursed to become a dribbling tar ghost, she speaks through a life sized wooden marionette. She offers to help Magie and Mr. Shade in their quest to raid Phallun's vaults and recover Magie's shattered soul but always takes something for herself in the process. Overly optimistic with a saccharin smile glued to her face, she seems like a saleswomen- one with intimate knowledge of Phallun's most secure areas. She is also a devout follower of the Ogigah Foranga. Although Iza has proven an invaluable aid to Magie's quest her true motives remain sealed in the fog of Evnyance's seedy past. What is she truly up to?

​She was inspired by Bebe from Frasier.

If you'd like to see more concept art I have a page on my website and my book's available on Amazon.
