I was thinking that you
might like to see some of the creatures that I used as inspiration while
creating my character of Cuddles (pictured below) in The Deep Black Pond.
First was the Angler fish.
I started with the idea of its oversized mouth and translucent teeth, and its
angler, or lure eventually became Cuddles one large glowing eye.
Next was the shape. Ever
since I had one living under a dock on a cannel where I use to live, the Green
More eel has fascinated me. So that seemed a natural choice.
Finally there was the
color, and I wanted it to be as amazing as the design was turning out. This
blue metallic Coy is truly one of the most unusual colors I have ever seen in
nature and the perfect choice.
So there you have it. Just
three of the several hundred thoughts that went into creating Cuddles the fish
in The Deep Black Pond.
Good luck and keep
writing.
