My Muse is an eclectic lady...she throws me ideas from all over the place, only a fraction of which I've realized visually. Some of my sources include characters from my old AD&D or other RPG games (the good ol' pen & paper days), video games I've played, conversations with friends...sometimes just a phrase from the right person will catch a spark... I try to always leave my mind open...something usually wanders in. :-) CT
