Actually, I see a lot of character in your work.
One of the things always I try to do (but don't always succeed at) is to give the characters specific expressions and gestures. I try to make them unique to the situation. For instance, if Chippy is watching a stripper, he'll have a happy expression on his face, but it'll be a different kind of happy than when he's put something over on someone. I also try to make the expressions unique to the character.
This is stuff that you just have to work at. I've been doing this proffessionally for 12 years, and I still consider myself a novice. Everything is a learning process.
Thanks for coming, and thanks for commenting!
