#1047 Piety: Ceremony

Okay, I'm working on some designs for some Orzo and Deathsnake products for the shop; not too much actual drawing done yet, but a lot of preliminary sketches. Unfortunately, this is a very art-intenseive story arc, and I don't want to rush it in order to work on shirts and such.

A problem I have that I'm sure many of you are aware of, is coming up with character names. I believe that a name shouldn't just sound cool, but be easy to remember as well. I always try to get help when coming up with names, because I don't trust myself to be able to do it on my own. I believe that good name conveys some idea of what the character is like; not too much, of course, but the sound of it should enhance the characterization and, if you see it, help you to remember who they are and what they do. I guess when you get down to it, that's all a name is: something you use to remember things by.
