With all this talk about which characters we like and don't like the last few days, I started thinking about characters and how they're developed. I always begin with a general idea of the character but sometimes I see a picture and think, "Oh, that's what Kale looks like," or, "Oh, that guy has Robin's eyes." I thought some of you might be curious about these things so I started thinking about some distinct character traits and Chase Dudley popped into mind. Chase is described as blond, blue eyed, trim figured with a bubbly personality and joyous smile. The picture below, to me, represents Chase in every single way. Hope you enjoy the trip into my mind, oh, and wipe your feet, I don't want it getting dirty in there.   |

That looks a lot like my mental picture of Chase, except I had him pictured as just a bit more blonde.
If you come up with a picture for Jamie and Sean, I would like to see it. I picture Sean and Jamie looking very, very, very similar, with Sean slightly more serious in facial expression than Jamie.
Can an inanimate item be a character? I picture Lucien's bus as almost a character in the series, since it has paid such an important part thus far.
The picture above also looks a lot like a more grown up version of Calvin and Hobbes....

At least, with the picture Dave posted in another thread, we have a pretty good idea what Lucien's bus looks like.
Ad Dave, do you have a picture similar to your visualization of Elliot?

That's as close as I can get on Sean and Jamie. This is what they'll look like as seniors. The one on the left would be Jamie and on the right would be Sean.  |

I can answer the Elliot question too. Not the best picture but this is him.  |

Thanks, Ryan, that is very similar to how I had Elliot pictured, only with slightly darker hair. I did have Sean pictured with paler skin. Not surprising that they would become somewhat less alike as they get older.
Do you have a picture of Judge Andrew J. Kirkwood, also? And Evelyn Kirkwood? Does the J. after Andrew stand for James? Or Grandpa Kirkwood, from Broken Hearted? If you do, that would be really cool!

I rarely get a picture before I develop a character, but I do come across some pictures from time to time that make me think of them. There's a picture I've been saving for a Seth story that hasn't been born quite yet.  |

Yes, Devyn's uncles definitely make the least likeable list.
Is that a possible visualization of Seth at Cafe Pick-Me-Up? I love the characters of Seth and Logan and Grayson. Does Seth have somewhat of an aversion to convenience stores and plate glass doors after getting thrown through one? Do you have a picture of Sora in your mind? Just imagine if Sora, Chloe, and Sophie somehow got together in a Sanitaria Springs story (even though Sora is older, it could happen)!
Maybe you could write a story of what happens when Logan, Grayson, and Seth, holding hands, run into Asher and Sean holding hands in the halls of school....

Oops, part of this post should have been on the "Least Favorite Characters" thread. My apologies to all.

Elliot's name was inspired by a you tube pianist, Elliot Spenner, whose channel is 88Kieys, so I pictured him looking something like that as well.

Yes, the picture I shared of Elliot, that's Elliot Spenner.

You have to picture his hair darker but there's the judge and his wife:  |
