I know nothing at all about this character but he's gorgeous! That plait is brilliantly done and his skin tone is so unusual, it almost glows but is totally believable. Very clever paint apps - love him! Are there any reference pictures available to see of this character?

Thanks! The books have never been televised, so there are no photos. A bit of unofficial fan art. I don't want to reproduce someone else's art here, but you can Google Meredith Gentry to see some art images.
Doyle is described as having skin that is black like the colour of a black dog's fur, rather than a black man. I used pure black paint with some pearlescent tint mixed in, to give it a sheen.
Look out for more colourful Faerie men to follow!

Thanks!
Laurell K Hamilton is very inventive. Her Meredith Gentry series is more consistent in tone than the Anita Blake books (although I enjoyed those as well). Like the author had decided on her style and moral outlook beforehand and didn't make a dramatic change in the middle (as she did with Anita). The erotica can be a little over-the-top, but they are fascinating stories about the faerie politics - endlessly inventive and absorbing.

Ha! Yes, that Meredith gets all the hunks! But she's a lovely character, so she deserves them. Yes... there will be 7 hunky male faeries in total, plus a Queen and a Princess.
