Yes, I’ve been writing . . . and I’ve been doing some worldbuilding as needed. I was struggling with the villains or antagonists if you will. I was really having a difficult time wrapping my mind around writing about them because of the fact that I couldn’t visualize what they looked like. Being a guy, I am a visual creature. I have to see the character, either on paper, on a computer screen or in my mind’s eye. I wasn’t able to do that. So, what did I do? I contacted my nephew who happens to be a really great artist and asked him to sketch out some villainous archetypes who might fit the bill. I told him my heroes are somewhat larger-than-life so their nemeses would need to be over-the-top so he could feel free to go crazy with his creative process.
I look forward to seeing what my nephew comes up with. Someone like the character featured above would suffice.
