First of all, I had an awesome idea for a character, but every time I come up with something I think is awesome, I find out that it's already been done, so I need to know if I can do this.
Second, I need to know how to describe the underlined hand gesture in the following scene from my current WIP:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“No Master Baltz, there is a rather-” the guard paused for a moment, as if searching for the proper word, “peculiar man downstairs requesting an audience with you. I tried to send him away, but he was quite insistent upon seeing you.”
Baltz raised his hand and waved the guard away. “I do not wish to be disturbed this evening, did I not make this clear?”
The guard looked down at the floor. “Sir, he said it’s urgent.” He cleared his throat before adding, “sir.”
The Illusionist snorted and rolled his eyes. “Of course it’s urgent, Rogers. Why wouldn’t it be?"
“He asked me to give you a message, sir. He said you would know what it means,” he paused.
“Well, I can hardly wait to hear it.”
“He said that General Uxbridge’s army has been raised.”
Baltz eyes widened, his jaw hung slack. “You described this man as peculiar? How so?”
“His robe, sir.” The guard ran a hand around his chest. “The colors shift and flow like molten rock.”
You should not have trusted him then, and you most certainly shouldn't trust him now.
He looked back to the center of the room where the illusion of his younger self had hung. “Send him up.” The thought was enough to sober him. “Immediately.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man in question is a pyromancer, and I want his robes to shift and change colors of oranges and reds as if it were actually made of lava, and I want the guard to gesture with his hands to illustrate that the colors in the fabric are moving or "flowing", but I am failing to come up with a description for the hand gesture.
Thanks in advance for your help!
