David Schwertner paper doll with his accessories. David is an old white man with pinkish skin, gray eyes, a small smile, and messy white hair because he's constantly running his hands through it. He wears a white buttondown, open at the collar, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, charcoal trousers, and black loafers. He stands in a sunny but slightly spooky forest, with a stack of reference books and a sky-blue backpack. Excerpt from The Keeper of Lonely Spirits reads, "His hand was warm and firm. The groundskeeper’s brain felt like a stream dammed by a log. Instead of a ghost, there was this little man with his smile, his galoshes, and his colorful waistcoat. The appearance of a unicorn couldn’t have flummoxed him more."
David in one of his outfits: a white buttondown and a pink waistcoat patterned with gold pineapples, with a bowtie printed with a similar pineapple texture, green trousers with yellow pinstripes, and brown loafers. He stands on the porch of a museum with white plank siding. Excerpt from The Keeper of Lonely Spirits reads, "His waistcoat was pink, patterned with gold pineapples. His bow tie, white with a larger, more haphazard pineapple pattern, lay furled on the table. The top button of his shirt was undone. The groundskeeper tore his eyes from David’s throat."
David in another of his outfits: a white buttondown and a waistcoat patterned with overlapping vintage postage stamps, with a matching coral bowtie, checkered warm gray trousers, and black loafers. He stands in front of a museum with a tent sign out front. Excerpt from The Keeper of Lonely Spirits reads, "Today’s waistcoat was patterned with vintage postage stamps. It was buttoned wrong... To the groundskeeper’s chagrin, David started unbuttoning his waistcoat right there in the kitchen. Of course he was wearing a shirt underneath, so it didn’t matter—not really—yet the groundskeeper’s neck prickled."
David in the last of his outfits: a green-blue tartan dressing gown that falls just past his knees, a little open to show some skin, definitely on purpose, which is why this outfit is affectionately known as the slut robe. He stands on the porch of his house, a slate blue craftsman style house, in the rain. Excerpt from The Keeper of Lonely Spirits reads, "David was in a tartan dressing gown, his hair damp. Rain pattered on the roof. “Do you want to come in?” David smiled at him. “Or did you want more time to enjoy the scenery?” The groundskeeper blushed; he was enjoying the scenery now. His eyes traced the path of a droplet down David’s neck, trailing from his hair into his collar... A sliver of David’s chest was visible where the gown closed."
all right I know I already shared the paper doll by @legendsofaukera.bsky.social, but here he is in each outfit!
