Cristero War Preview 1

Description

Well, technically, this is preview 2. But whatever. XD;

Please excuse my terrible sketches! That's all that they are.

gaah! I want to pick their names so I know what to call them, instead of, "14 yr old rich girl", "17 yr old student", "Orphan mute girl", and "mysterious blue-eyed person" which I invented at the last minute in order to put another guy up there. LOL...don't worry, he does play a role in the story, I didn't just pull him out my ass. XD; But this is the first time I've actually drawn him. (I keep drawing the other characters over and over again, in different variations...)

The person in the center is Jose Sanchez del Rio. I don't think he was poor, but I can't imagine him in anything other than white peasant clothing. ^^; Don't worry I'll work on that...XD;

I'm not happy with the girl here. In the other pic her hair is straight, but it doesn't matter much since she does go through a transformation throughout the story. I imagine her to be a very pretty girl with very pretty hair (cuz jb HAS to draw pretty girls), which will cause her problems from time to time considering she's going to be surrounded by men constantly. Ah machismo...

She is from the upper class, probably of french or Italian descent (which was common especially in Jalisco, which is where she's from). But I will keep her hair black and her eyes dark. Reason being, that while she's out with the revolutionaries, she'll be able to blend in with the other women.

The 17 yr old guy...dunno. I imagine him to be a very smart guy, kinda serious, very cynical and at times a smartass. He's from a humble background, and was doing something of an apprenticeship. I don't know what he's studying. LOL But he's advanced, so he's really a college level student. He doesn't trust the revolutionaries and at one point hates them, but cuz of reasons not to be named yet, he ends up being dragged around by them and ends up having to help them. ^^;

Oh yeah, he's also taken it upon himself to watch over the 14 yr old girl while he's at it. Ah machismo...no, just kidding, he is a good guy, just a bit short and harsh with his words.

The little girl is an orphan the 14 yr old meets on the way after a battle and ends up taking her with her. (much to 17 yr old's chargin). The little girl is a bit odd, with pitch black eyes who have seen too much, but obviously she can't speak about it. No one knows where she came from, but eventually, they find out (and its serves as a catalyst near the end of the story.)

The blue eyed guy...yeah, can't say much, besides the fact that he pops up from time to time and annoys the 17 yr old. But he's useful. His real identity will be a surprise. Currently I'm debating his age. ^^; I wanted him to be a young boy of 10-12 yrs of age, but he ended up looking too old here, which isn't a problem either. He's not always around, so it really makes you wonder how he travels. So I'm debating on making him an adult instead of a child. I'm also debating on his hair color. Hence why I drew him with a hat cuz I don't know. XD; I imagine him to be fair though. People will call him "guero" which is what mexicans/latinos nickname folks that have fair skin, hair and eyes.

Other original characters that I'm debating on/working on are a nun, a bounty hunter, a soldier, a teacher, and a municipal secretary,

Well, that's enough for today, time to go to bed! ^o^
