I think the title says it all. So every character I have made has always had a purpose. Whether it be for a comic, a spin off story, to show an emotion or pose a lot, or that I never made myself. Each and every one I can point and say "Yeah, they were made because of THIS and for THIS THING. They just get drawn elsewhere sometimes while I work on their thing." But not Viola. Viola was made because I liked a shark coloring contest I entered a while back and thought having a shark character would be fun. Sharks weren't really a thing at the time, and I was bad at getting reference material, so I just drew her as I thought a shark would look. It made her unique. She was never a character set in a world or in a place with a mindset that HAS to there because otherwise it wouldn't progress the story. She is truly my only personable character.
And that's kinda why I draw her a lot. Every other character will get their day eventually. Viola is just along for the ride, much like me.

    I love stories like this one. :)

    Wabi started as a doodle, because I wanted to draw something cute. Then I wanted to develop him into a fursona, because I didn't have a unique one (everyone knows Keira-Jo and she has a vast history, but was created for a fan club to represent me and is a fan-based 'sona). I never really thought of making him female, even though I intentionally made him to represent me. So if Keira-Jo represents my fandom love and feminine side........Wabi was made to show my original and creative side, and tomoboyishness. :)

      Some of the best stories (and some of the worst ones, sadly) are from making 'sonas.

    I'm similar with my written characters. Put simply, I'm dissatisfied with the world around me, so I start writing about characters that are similar to me, going on adventures that I wish I myself could be on.
