Come Tenderness
Long before I ever write anything solid regarding the resurrection of Faust as Kallum McCreary, I'm trying to get the perfect picture of him in my mind, how he will behave toward those who brought him back and make him crave the Blood, and especially how he'll handle working closely with Cadmus in retrieving the Augury of Gideon. The song that seems to be working for me right now is "Come Tenderness' by Lisa Gerrard. Kallum will have the memories not only of his extended murder as Faust, but also as the Sainted Confessor, brought to his singular heaven by his angel Roesetta, who also allowed him to see the Face of God, the one thing Faust wanted above all.
All this bit on Cadmus is far far down the road. I'm looking forward to November to hopefully get the gumption to finish The Blood Crown and continue work on The Augury of Gideon. In the meantime, my focus on Kallum will continue to develop so that, when I'm ready to write him the way he wants me to write him, everything shall be in place. In the meantime, here's pictorial progress on the character first known as Faust and later called by his peers Kallum the Confessor. Enjoy!**
The original concept art of Faust, who was then a Beast child of Rebekah and Mephistopheles. He eventually came to rest in the Darkblood camp.
Then the power of christ compelled me to photoshop a pic of Scott McClure because he had that same Faustian look in his eyes. This was a result of my accidentally anchoring the poor Dude to the character. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to mind.
luvthyjoker was so inspired by that, she decided to illustrate Faust, which allowed me to continue writing "Sainted Confessor."
And then we come to the mortated Faust, Kallum the Confessor aka Kallum McCreary. In this guise he's much more easily angered and prone to lash out because of the memories of suffering bestowed upon him by Cadmus Pariah. But he's also more than capable of healing the needy and listening to and solving people's problems. Here's where James McAvoy comes in.
**Thanks go out to James McAvoy and Scott for helping to anchor Kallum/Faust down and flesh him out in the strangest and most unusual ways.
