I'm lousy at visualizing my characters. I have a very hard time coming up with a picture of what my characters look like. I mean, I know the basics. How tall, color of hair and eyes and types of clothes . But that's it really.
In the most recent story I'm writing, I decided that I needed a better visual concept of the characters. Rather than fight through magazines to find pics I like (because I'd have to buy the mags first), I thought it would be best to draw my character. Only I can't draw. I can't do stick figures. And I really didn't have a complete concept of the character and I doubt if I would come up with a good sketch with what was in my mind. Fortunately, Wil is an artist and he can fill in the blanks. Here is Lodi, one of the main characters in the fantasy I'm writing.
I think she's cool. He had some different concepts of armor that I think I'll use, but the concept is great. I really like the markings on the face (not sure if they are tattoos or paint) and the earrings. I also like the concept of the gauntlets/gloves he gave her. I'll have to find reasons for them.
*grin*
But that's explanations and plotting. And I love that part.
Now. I need to write.
