The Sun and The Moon


Combine COSMIC LOVE by Florence and the Machine with this picture and create a steam punk adventure of danger and rescue based on the soundtrack.

The story is one of an aristocrat and a street orphan teaming up in the days of the French Revolution to save aristocrats not under any sense of love for that class but to earn money to support the street people and poor who have been lost in the blood lust of Robespierre's 'Revolution'. Sorta the 'Scarlet Pimpernel' crossed with 'Tale of Two Cities' and the '3 Musketeers'.



This is the coin that all members of the resistance carry. The League of the Sun and the Moon. and will be on the cover of the book




Also included in the story are a team of Geisha assassins who worked for the aristocracy but once they found their own position (one built upon generations of favours and intrigue) threatened, they join up with our heroes to bring down the villainous Robespierre.


And of course we have three spies (two kitties and a chicken) who risk their lives delivering messages where our human heroes can't. It will not be animated but maybe a combination of CGI and live action like 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader'.


This would be the look of my main character. I like the big hat but not so much the Katanna as a weapon. More of a silver rapier for my guy but I would keep all the other silver armor that would give off a shine. The rest of the outfit would be black with a cape and mask of course - a silver mask.

I'd see that. Will it be in 3D?

I hope not. But I may not have final say on that.

I'm totally writing this. Maybe not with geishas, though. How about a troupe of acrobats? You can design the costumes.
