Description Just a sketch I really liked, and because I've barely ever drawn the actual character my novel Iris is named after, and I figured this'd be useful to have, hahahah.  

All Seth ever wanted was to make up for his failure to protect the little sister he lost, but how does one go about protecting a god?

More Iris :  
  IrisThis is an attempt to outline the world, concepts, and characters behind my story, Iris.
(If anyone could tell me what genre this is, please tell me.  I'm guessing "urban fantasy" right now but I've really just no clue.)
In general, I am looking for any and all sorts of feedback on this: shoot questions at me, point out peculiarities or loopholes, ask me about potential consequences, or just tell me what you think of it all.  I'd love to hear what you have to say; help me build my world! : )  
This journal concept is taken from Uinn, whose write-up of their own absolutely fascinating story LOI can be read here: http://fav.me/d3wnhkz
SUMMARY
(trimming of this would also be much-appreciated.)
In a near-future world devastated by flood and drought, humans seek to survive in the remnants of once-great cities now thick with dust and salt--and they don't struggle alone. Creatures out of myths and legends now walk alongside them: mermaids, cent

Iris! going about protecting a god ooooh

(that line dictated that my first thought was Seth standing bravely in front of the little girl from the ring while she glares out from behind him with murder in her eyes, but she knows this makes Seth feel better)

haha, but beb Iris looks 192% more chill than Samara

A-Ahhhhh, ohman I'm glad, I really do hope that this could be a powerful piece, because it's a lot of Seth suffering I-I mean, um, characterization... yes... 8');;;

Fun sketch (I get the feeling you had fun with this one~) the one-sentence blurb on Iris is quite compelling... *.*

Eheheheh, it's more interesting when you wonder whether or not Iris even needs protecting...
(Seth just. has such conflicting desires to protect someone, hahahah)

But yeah, thanks so much, I definitely had a lot of fun with this, I'm trying to illustrate and narrate more stuff from my stories, it's so soothing to do~ <3

Ooo... (well such is the nature of some guys...)
Sometimes a story only works when it has words AND pictures.
