I would say, think of all of your characters as having many masks, or sides to their personality, that are not always on display.

I found this conversation really interesting, and hope that one day I'll be pushing out "quick" work that looks as good as the things you all have done. Definitely opt for prioritizing the story and having c…
Hi, this is my first time promoting my series, and I've been really nervous about making a post about it. I don't like to draw attention to myself, but I know I'm supposed to be confident and be my number one champion because no one else will do the work for me. I've been working on a story that w…
