Okay, I see authors asking for artist recommendations quite often, & as an author with a character art obsession for the past 6 or so years, I am here to help!
This is a kind of um... extensive(?) guide, (Please see notes on obsession & 6 years 😅) but hopefully it's helpful! (All handles are IG)

Now whenever someone asks what "trust, but verify" means, I’ll be giving this real-world example from yesterday:
*tucking 6yo in*
6yo: Mom, I would never tackle you like (8yo brother), because you’re innocent.
Me: Aw, you’re so sweet. *cuddles closer*
.

6yo: …Mom, have you ever k*lled anyone?
