Gender Diversity in My Characters

Gender Diversity in My Characters

I'm the type of person that likes diversity in TV shows and movies. There should be gender diversity -- a pretty equal balance between females and males and the cast should be racially diverse, in my opinion.

CONCEPT ART

I have gotten to something I should have done weeks ago: upload concept art to DA and embed them here.
