It's interesting to hear that some of you build your characters around the picture/appearance, I've never tried making a character in this manner but I can understand the reasoning. Previously I've found images on DeviantArt that I thought could inspire a character to be made around them but given my previous experience I've avoided using them. I might man up a little and give it a shot in the future.

Thanks [@Nemaisare] for including those links, I've honestly never heard of those sites before and will probably use them in the future.
