Edward and Bella
Here's her interview:
Q: Fans of your book who have come to identify Edward and Bella with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will find very different-looking characters here. Does this art hew more closely to your original descriptions?
A: This was something that I discussed with Yen Press long before we brought in an artist. It was important to us both that this novel be an interpretation of the novel, rather than a cartoon version of the movie. Young took her inspiration directly from the descriptions in the novel, and as a result, the images are much closer to the characters I see in my head than any actual hman being could be
Q: You looked at all the art ahead of time. Did you ever ask the artist to change things?
A: I did approve all of the art in both the sketch and the final forms. Mostly I just enjoyed looking at Young's amazing images. Occasionally I did ask for minor adjustments. Things like: Charlie's hair should be curlier, Eric's hair should be darker, the cafeteria tables should be square. I also asked for the cars to be changed to exactly the models that I described, though no one cares about that besides me.
Q: How does reading the graphic novel compare with reading the original? Does it bring something new to the experience for you?
A: For me, it takes me back to the days when I as writing Twilight. It's been awhile since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now. It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing. Reading Young's version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again. I love that. I thank her for it.
Q: When this project is finished, are you done with Twilight?
A: I can't say that I am done with Twilight forever. I'm not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for awhile. But there's still a possibility that I'll go back and close some of the open doors
Ah.. see guys... there is still hope... Let's enjoy the scans:
