One of the biggest problems I ever end up facing when writing, is naming characters. Especially when the book or story in question features beings with their own language even if they can speak others. Largely because I always wonder if the names I come up with are good enough.

Harder still is when I need to come up with names for people who are related to each other. Normal people usually have normal names. But again, when you're dealing with characters from a fictional race, it becomes that much harder since it's difficult to come up with a name that feels right. I have such a character now. I've tried a few names on him already, but none feel right. I may have to start thinking somewhere outside the box for this one....

At least coming up with a look for him was that much easier by comparison. I should probably get around to getting him and his relatives commissioned at some point. Cause God knows I can't draw to save my life. Luckily, I can at least write.
