More sketches of Vesta. She's still the oldest character of mine that I still use with any regularity, and she's always kind of been there at the heart of what I do. If you want me to get really interested in a fictional world, let someone like her exist there. I wouldn't say she's me, exactly, but she's my muse. It's how all of my characters work, and why Elseways is the city where any of them could plausibly live or visit. None of them are me. I'm the set of all of them together.

@bj The elements define the set, but the set is not the elements?

@Felthry

Basically, yeah. The set is not any single element. And it can even change over time, just like a city, as people move in or move away.

I've been thinking about the idea of a "personal character" lately and I think that's the solution that fits me best. If you wanted to draw "my character", I'd just ask you to pick whichever one feels right for your purposes. Maybe Vesta, maybe Patch, maybe Fendrian, could be anyone.
