[@Tyler] Oh no, I was referring to how one finds their image of a character.

I go power first as well. I always try to pick one I haven't done before and then I work from there. Like the one RP that Wraith wanted me to join but the other GM told me no (still not bitter about that...nope) I wanted to do Smoke Manipulation so from there I went to a sort of Bad Girl route and then I worked that into how she looked, tattoos, piercings, red hair, etc.

That was purely to tell people how I go to find an image of a character. Drawn pictures are typically easier for me since DeviantArt is chock full of them.

I'm not a fan of drawn images, personally. I take so much inspiration for the personality of my characters from the image I choose for them - and that can be as subtle as the way they are looking, or how they're dressed. It's a lot harder to make that connection with a drawing vs. a picture for me.
