Author's Comment: For me, drawing [Vampire Academy], it's quite nerve wracking cause I know that Richelle has a lot of followers and people who love the series, and especially a character like Demetri, he's every woman's perfect man, but of course every woman has a different vision of their perfect man! So what we're aiming for when making the books, I want to draw what Richelle sees, because they're her characters, hoping that if I can make them look how Richelle sees them then that should translate to the readers. They're her babies so they've got to look how she wants them to look. I just hope people love the drawn characters as much as the written characters!
