I would love to have your talent (but only if I can also keep my own meagre talents).

However, since I mostly write, as I was reading and looking at the beautiful exxamples you have provided us, I could not help wondering, do you, as an artist, consider it important that you get to know the characters (of a game or of a comic or story in general) with empathy opening you to what they are like and what their dreams would be, thus being guided to what they look like, how they dress, etc?
