“Sie war fasziniert von Drachen und hatte wie Jacob den Traum, eines Tages ein Drachenei zu finden, das noch einen Funken Leben barg.”

[habemusmamam]

Her heart felt so different when she wore the fur. To the vixen, even love tasted of freedom, and desire came and went like hunger, without the caving that came with being human.

Fox: Oh bother, we lost Will in the crowd.

Nerron: I got this. (*raises his voice*) Jacob Reckless is the best treasure hunter in the world.

Will, from somewhere: ANYONE would be the best treasure hunter in the world with the vixen helping them!

Jacob, sighing: There he is.

Reckless by Cornelia Funke

Official Russian edition covers by Vitaly Yekleris

These are the ones I used for this avatar set ✨✨

I made a few mood boards for characters from the Reckless book series by Cornelia Funke. The faces were made with Artbreeder.

I‘ll link the pictures I used below each mood board.

Creating/editing the pictures, especially the portraits for the Goyls, was a bit difficult. I never really used Artbreeder before and recreating or changing something up to look like stone wasn‘t really something I got right. Hentzau looks almost completely human and I needed a long time until the skin on Nerron or Kami‘en had the right color. I wasn’t really sure how to change Hentzau‘s skin, since he‘s described as ´brown jaspisˋ in the book but my reference pictures of the gem itself showed more of a lighter brown. I tried my best to make the skin look cracked through the use of various images of men with scarred faces, but the scars faded a bit out in the later processes. I also had to edit the eyes in another app, where I removed the iris to hint at the blindness/bad eyesight he‘s supposed to have. I think the one that looks the closest to a statue/to be made out of stone is Kami‘en, but that one also had a ´greek statue ´- looking base…

Mirrorworld (by Cornelia Funke) characters as John Mulaney quotes

Jacob: Then I said "no". You know, like a liar.

Fox: Street smarts!

Will: I was just shiny and dumb and easy to trick.

Clara: I saw in front of my building a wheelchair knocked on its side with no one in it. That’s a bad thing to see. Something happened there…you hope it was a miracle…but probably not…probably something worse.

Nerron: Sometimes, babies will point at me and I don't care for that shit at all.

Hentzau: *Kami'en wonders if the bottle he has been gifted is filled with whiskey or perfume. Hentzau downs the whole thing* It's perfume.

Kami'en: This is an on fire garbage can. Could be a nursery.

The Red Fairy: *toddler points at her, saying she has a vagina* Yes, I do and it's magnificent.

The Dark fairy: Everybody get out of my way, I just want to sit here and feed my birds.

Chanute: And then I wondered: Did I do that? Then I thought: "No, I wouldn't do that." But I was never sure.

Valiant: WHERE'S MY MONEY?!

Orlando: They see a healthy 28 year old man trying his best.

Jacob Reckless is not stupidly fearless. He knows that whatever he is going to do is most likely to get him killed. But he does it anyway. Just for the funsies. And for the kick and to prove to himself that he CAN do it. Like "Look at me, I did it anyway!"

The attitude!
