The WOVEN A to Z Challenge: R is for Rasmus!

I dedicate this A to Z Challenge to Tina Downey, one of the A to Z Challenge founders and one of the brightest bloggers who sadly left us last year. Harder still, she was in a secret support group that I'm part of. The best way I can honor Tina, who was excited about and never had the opportunity to read my debut, I've teamed up with Father Dragon to present short bios and character portraits from Woven. I'll write the bios and all art is created by Al Diaz. I hope you enjoy this visual tribute to our friend, Tina.

R is for Rasmus

There are few who remember the apprentice of Bosh, but those who do know Rasmus as the Master Threader for his ability to weave (and maintain) himself into the appearance of others. He has dark hair and eyes, and he has returned to sever the threads of those he believes will unravel the Great Tapestry. Rasmus will stop at nothing to secure everyone's pattern, even if that means taking their faces as his own.
 
Tomorrow: S is for Sibylla.

    Sometimes you have to do what you don't want in the name of the greater good.

    Oh, at first I thought with his hand, he was Wolverine. But he's a big, bad, dude in his own right isn't he?

    Solidly badass character. I like the imagery of "taking their faces as his own." :) Great drawing, as usual!
