Notes

I used a wide variety of sources for the images in this comic, reflecting the many ways I have represented characters in my head: everything from painting miniature figures to playing them as characters in “The Sims” games.

Images Used

  • Panel 1: A Paper Camera selfie.
  • Panel 2: A miniature figure painted by me, shot up close and grayscaled.
  • Panel 3: Screen capture of The Sims 2, grayscaled.
  • Panel 4: A portrait obtained through the Portrait Adoption website.  Art by Nicole Cadet.
  • Panel 5: A collage of logo images.
  • Panel 6: A page from the book Deco Tech: Geometric Coloring Patterns, colored by me, then photographed and grayscaled.

Notes

A green room is a term from the theatre, a place offstage where performers hang out before and after their turns onstage.  As a writer, characters are my stock in trade.  I don’t know if all writers have this sort of mental green room, but I’ve heard of many whose characters talk to them.  Sometimes to the point where it gets downright annoying!

Images Used
