Physiognomy and Subconscious Associations II

[tealin]

Observation of the day:

I've been trying to draw 'Johnny' (Shufti's 'fiancée' from Monstrous Regiment). Today I realised I've been edging him towards looking like a guy at work. Never ask me to draw you, because you never know who you might end up cast as ...

EDIT: I think I may have been misleading: people end up as character designs subconsciously! Subconsciously!!

Already done Maladict, unfortunately...

The problem is, there are usually more male characters in books I like than female, but it seems most people who want drawings are female, so either I can never use what I draw (consciously or subconsciously) or I end up sort of translating the face into male – as happened with my roommate becoming Carcer. Be careful what you wish for!

Aww, don't let us pressure you. Your work is excellent whatever level of consciousness it represents.

Now I remember your Maladict... she had a pert kind of sauciness that surprised me. I love your expressions -- always complex and characteristic.

Hee! That must've been interesting.
