I used to love creating character sketches for stories, or just to create characters in my mind. The below is Vengeance, one of many characters I never used for anything, but I wanted to post it here as a reminder of how I used to be when writing and in hopes of inspiring you all to use your imaginations and come up with things, even if they have no purpose other than your own enjoyment.
Vengeance was created back in 2000, and was an expression of the super hero that I wanted to be.

Back in high school, I used to even get a friend of mine to sketch out some of my characters. While Vengeance wasn’t one of them, I can still see, in my mind, what he would have looked like, how he would hold himself and instantly, my imagination starts world-building. This is one of the many reasons I enjoyed writing character sketches and I hope you’ll enjoy this one.
