Anyone else ever do moodboards for characters? The traditional character portrait never worked for me. I've found that a collection of images does the job better.

Relatedly, would anyone be interested in seeing moodboard or outfit of the day pictures people have done for characters?




(Icon related because fashion Tories are like that, okay?)

That's a neat idea. I have mixes I use for writing them (and some for long-running fics to try and set the mood) but using them as a pre-game ritual hadn't occurred to me.

I do a lot of AUs with characters also, so it's an especially helpful ritual to settle back into the variant I 'officially play', as it were. I've been writing fic and doing chatfic and so forth for long enough that I can typically run at the drop of a hat, but still, you know? It's a nice transition from the work headspace to the gaming headspace.
