Eve Duncan

Hair: Dark Auburn
Eyes: Brown
Race: Human
Profession: Forensic Sculptor

Social Life

Love Interest: Joe Quinn, cop and ex FBI

Characteristics/My Take

Eve was an illegitimate child that was raised in the slums of Atlanta Georgia. She tries her best to do the right thing, but sometimes her good intentions don't always work out. Although she gave birth to a child at a young age like her mother, Eve doesn't let her unexpected circumstances stand in her way of building a better life for herself and her child. In the face of tragedy, Eve does her best to remain strong, even when she wants to give up. Because of the kidnapping and death of her young daughter, Eve takes her pain and uses it to help others. With hard work and persistence, she has become one of the top Forensic Sculptors in the nation. With each reconstruction, Eve has the uncanny ability to connect on a personal level with the unknown victim she is trying to help identify. Eve's work also draws the attention of enemies dead set on using her skills to their benefit, or eliminating her because of those same skills. Her compassion and love for those closest to her make a force to be reckoned with.

  Kimonos   A Brief History     The donning of what we think of as the traditional kimono, began over a thousand years ago during the Heian Period. (784-1185 A.D.). Although today, this garb is rarely seen in every day wear, yet during more formal occasions such as weddings, funerals, and tea ceremonies, these ornate garments are worn. At first the kimono was worn with Chinese influenced Hakama pants. These partially pleated pant like skirts were pulled over the kimono to keep it closed. Later during the period, that changed, and so the Obi was created to take its place. An Obi was a lengthy fabric belt that was wrapped around the wearer to keep the kimono closed. Different manners of styling the Obi tails came into style as well.     During the Kamakura period (1185-1333 A.D.), the kimono was part of everyday wear, and adding multiple layers beneath the main one developed as well. This came into importance because certain color combinations could be worn together to represent a famil

The Illustrating Writer

   The Art of Illustration      Illustrating images has been a way of communication for thousands of years with the earliest examples discovered in Lascaux, France, where cave paintings were determined to be circa 15,000 B.C. In ancient civilizations such as those of Greece and Italy, art became a major way of life and was used to honor their gods. And let's not forget ancient Egypt where hieroglyphics were used to communicate history, ruling pharaohs and their practices.       "In the Middle Ages, narrative pictorials appeared in illuminated manuscript." During this time, recording religious writings was the main reason for creating detailed images. Of course from there, with the invention of different printing techniques came new ways of displaying images and text for consumer viewing. Then came the profession of being an illustrator. The profession took hold during the 1800s when artists would create small prints to be sold in stalls or small streets shops.  Source: h
