Voting for Art Volume 1 and Volume 2
Hope-Core Arc One — Art Insert Choices
The ARTS
Hi everyone!As promised, here’s your chance to vote for some ART!
I’ve put the choices in the tabs below.
Everyone get TEN (ten) Votes!
In future chapters, I’ll link back to here, so you can keep voting or come back and do it later if you forgot. We’ll leave it up for a while.
Total Commission is likely to run between $4000 USD to $ 5,000 USD over 3 months, so choose wisely! We have no backsies...
Although HopeCore is fiction, let's observe some rules.
Everything will be above board and tasteful,
Eppie is 15.
Val is 18 around Xmas of Arc 1.
Armand is 18 already.
This page will be treated as live, so if anyone has some really cool composition descriptions, I’ll update the doc (with credit!) and pass them to Bao.

| Chapter
| Plate

| 1
| Prologue: Icarus
| Lana sinking in the black water of Santa Monica Bay at night, champagne bottles weighing down her coat. On the shore, the green light of her manor pulses.
|
| 2
| Ch13: Starry Starry Night
| Eppie, knee-deep in the surf at sunset, soaked to the waist by the waves, singing Vincent as a funeral for Lana. Amber and pink beach, the pier’s shadow on the sand. Pacific Park’s Ferris wheel and coaster above. Armand grips the railing in paint-stained overalls, a second before he jumps.

| 3
| CH 28: Black Cat
| Eppie in Cat Costume; she is the first cat in space! Can do Eppie and friends, or Eppie in the shelter, surrounded by cats.
|
| 4
| Ch30: Strange Fruit
| The cat shelter at night. Lim, huge and broken, confesses to Eppie with cats all around them. Bao will have to draw like… six cats.
|
| 5
| Ch35: Our House
| Hotel Basque at Thanksgiving: round, worn tables, low ceilings, warm lamplight. Zara on guitar. Paco plays guitar while Eppie sings in public for the first time and the room turns toward her.
|
| 6 The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
| Ch36: Stand By Me
| The Reedley church cloister. Eppie and Mio on stone benches under a tree of overripe navel oranges, Mio in her Sunday floral blouse, about to hand over the cassette tape. (She’s visibly pregnant)
|
| 7
| Ch41: Both Sides Now
| Gala morning. Eppie alone on the X of the empty Playhouse stage, looking out at dark seats. In spot light.
|
| 8
| Ch42: Heroes
| Antigone. The schoolgirl under the light in her ruined prep uniform: headband gone, blouse open and untucked, skirt creased. Spine still straight. “Look at me.” Lighting forms a jail cell.
|
| 9
| Ch44: Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
| Eppie on the Whitman stage singing In the Pines, while William sits in the best seat, being “eaten alive” by it. Either POV of Eppie on stage, or POV from Zara, Eppie beside her, William below, metaphorical spot light on him.
