More thoughts on depicting characters in illustrating stories.

When I painted that, I was thinking YA or PG stories with an emphasis on realistic portrayals of the characters. In 'End of the World' and, I suppose 'Dystopian Novels' I had figured that that female characters (and also the male characters fighting in the resistance) would be wearing cast-off clothing and gear salvaged from the enemy. I thought that clothing them in revealing clothing would not be in their nature. They would be choosing heavy jackets for warmth in the cold months, and that solid practicality would be more important than looks (although I like to make sure that the clothes look like they fit and are not too ragged or baggy.
