There''s a bad habit I have as a writer of not describing what characters look like. It''s not exactly that I don''t care, but it''s not something I think about while reading, and so not something I prioritize while writing.


    I''m something of an amateur pixel artist (I did Gilded Rose''s icon myself) and over the past year or so I''ve drawn several of the characters. I figured it wouldn''t be out of the question to share what I think they look like with you.


    Please note that if your interpretation of any character differs from how I depict them, that doesn''t mean you''re wrong or that my designs are more "canon" than anyone else''s. At least, that''s not how I see it. Every piece here was drawn by me, and except for Virgil, every character was also designed by me.

    Row 1: Will, in profile and in portrait; Virgil, who was designed by my good friend PeacefulRoadkill.


    Row 2: Glorious Purpose, Dio, and Glory''s twin brother Perish the Thought. This piece was originally done for my Patreon to accompany an early side chapter featuring him.
