When I asked my readers to help select the right portrait of Luke Kimball, I did not expect a lot of answers. And in truth, I did not get many. But what I did get was great personal reactions as to what the potential images represented.
To that end here is Luke Kimball, the Divided Man. One reader described him as “a man who has seen too much war and carries it with him.” I was humbled to have this weight of description given to one of my characters. The reader is someone I served under and respect greatly. Thank you for your input.
The one change I made was to make his eyes bluer. Credit to my sister for that one.
My next challenge is creating the portrait for Matthew Pierce, Luke’s partner in Security Consultants International. I am having some intense discussions with the AI program I use for character and scene generation. It is called MidJourney and I encourage you to play with it.
If you explore creating The Divided Man characters and scenes in an AI art program, I encourage you to send them to me. I will post the good ones here and on my Instagram account with full credit to you. Can’t wait to see your creativity!
