You won't have to worry 'bout me at least. I actually prefer to do my own
art for my own characters. On the other hand, I'm not so confident in my
artistic skills yet to be diving at the chance to have you post my
scribbles up for all to see.

I've found in the past that it helps a lot for me to solidify the
character in my head to draw a portrait of them (I prefer sketchwork). As
I draw I come up with little things that I may not have thought of before.
What do they wear? Why? Do they wear jewelry? What is it? Does it have
any particular significance? Somewhere along the way, I usually come up
with some interesting story elements and flesh out the history behind the
character. It is a personal thing, so I am not the sort who would have
someone draw my character for me. Even though I don't have a high opinion
of my artistic abilities, I draw more for how it helps me develop the
character, and I would suggest it to anybody else whether or not you think
you can draw/paint/sketch/etc.
