Tips In Effective CharactersNotes on creating effective characters

Motivation: When considering a character, always ask yourself ‘why’? Question your character’s motive for everything they do, think, or say. Delve into the psychology of your character. Don’t just make them ‘insane’ for no reason, or ‘just always happy,’ or anything that can‘t have backup. Every thing has a reason, and this should be relatively obvious to your readers, unless you mean to keep it a secret; but a good, solid character has depth. One creates depth through a deep understanding of their character’s past, psychology, and motives.

Yeah shading does rock, I like what you've done with that foot at the bottom, showing it's geometric counter, sorta heh. Only thing that ever bothers me is that if you need to shade (or highlight) for different textures, the amount of research just kills me. And that's not even taking the color into account! Jeez :I
