Looking forward to seeing how your Chow turns out this week. Seems you're the only one doing a female wizard (is there a difference between a female wizard and a witch?).
Sometimes, if I'm having trouble trying to decide on the outfit for a character, I try to picture the character's home and what kind of clothes they would have purchased to keep at home. Is this someone who puts a lot of thought into what they wear? Is their personality defined by their clothes? What choices did the character make while getting dressed that day?
Maybe I put too much thought into things that don't matter, but stuff like that helps me feel that I've gone someway to maybe help tell a story visually by presenting a character with a dimensional personality.
