Eeeeeeeeee on you having a character based on her too. Now I kind of want to draw Hali and your character complimenting each other on their hair. But then maybe your character is offended because Hali is blind.... XD
And yes I think that is the exact picture I used for Hali! If not, it's very similar. So much of her personality came out of that slightly crooked smile... :3
I picked up the saying things out loud trick from reading K.A. Applegate's (author of Animorphs) blog. She says she names alien races and gives aliens their names by just saying random sounds out loud until she finds something that feels like a word.
I've got a book of 'exotic' baby names. I find it to be helpful. I also ask myself what a character would actually be called by their friends. For example, in the novel I'm trying to get published right now, the main character is Princess Aleta, but only her mother and people who don't know her very well call her Aleta. To all her friends, she's Leti.
