Description Hey guys, here are some characters we were lucky enough to design when author Gabrielle Kent set us the task of drawing up some of her beloved characters. The amazing new childrens book 'Alfie Bloom and the secrets of Hexbridge Castle' goes on sale now, please check it out here:Β www.facebook.com/Hexbridge?fre…

'Alfie Bloom is a relatively normal eleven year old boy who inherits a castle full of wonders that has been sealed for centuries. He learns he was born in that very castle six hundred years ago during a magical timeslip. There, Orin Hopcraft, the last of the druids hid an ancient magic inside him, which others seek but should never be used.

With the help of his cousins Madeleine and Robin, a shapeshifting solicitor and a flying bearskin rug Archie must keep the magic from the most terrifying adversaries of all, his headteachers.'

The book has just been launched so order your copies now!

Having read through a quarter of the book myself, I'm pleased to say that you stayed very true to the characters' original in-book descriptions. Plus, you brought their personalities to life with simple but effective posing and facial expressions.

My only criticism is that William's face makes him look far younger than he actually is. Thankfully, the small tufts of greyed hair make up for this. However, I feel that a few small wrinkles would've helped.

Gabby described him to be as Brian Cox with Grey hair, sadly I wasn't given a very detailed description. Think she just wanted to see what we would come up with. Funnily enough it was the dad she used to showcase at the book signings

Oh my! It must've been a real honor to have your contribution showcased at her signings! Also, I forgot to mention that I was one of her students years before her book was released.
