NaraMoore, #wordweavers 3Writing 19. How did you settle on your MC's appearance?
I get an image of what my character is like as an individual. Personality. Then I develop an image that matches that personality. Sometimes this is aided by inspiration from individuals that exemplify that personality.
Next, I draw up a written spec with references and send it to my artist. I get a concept sketch, which I vet with "suggestions." Usually, two or three showing progress Line, middle coloration, and pre-final. (I pay extra for the additional input)
Then I receive a final drawing. And the appearance is settled.
It is a collaborative effort me 80% artist 20%
