Evolving Aurus. I liked this character a ton, but never got the chance to draw him in the way I wanted too.
One of these characters.

Real world examples of Left brain/right brain concepts that make sense:

“The recent banning of texting while driving illustrates the problem of the brain’s difficulty in simultaneously processing two modes of information”

“Verbal distractions, like cell phone conversation or texting while driving, are proving to be so distracting and dangerous they are banned in some cities and states.”

This one made a lot of sense to me--If you are driving, it should be mostly a visual and spatial task. If left brain (which the science supports, but I didn’t research all the cited articles, so testing it against what I actually know from being alive.), use switches you out of spatial and visual mode, then it would make sense that it would effect your ability (besides distraction) to orient and react to spatial and visual information. It also correlates with the fact that many people I know that are strongly visually skilled (trail workers, landscapers, people that have phsycial flow, good chainsaw operators, people that can react well to visual stimuli (play sports, ect) are also usually (in personal experience) better drivers than those I know that usually spend most of their days in left brain tasks (Reading, writing, teaching, words and listing.).  It also matches how my own body has reacted to switching in and out of flow and my ability to do physical or visual tasks. 

Flow is the word I use for when you turn off every part of your brain that uses words and do things. Can also flow in words, at which time I usually notice nothing else. 

“A surgeon once told me that while operating on a patient (mainly a visual task, once a surgeon has acquired the knowledge and technical experience needed) He would find himself unable to name the instruments. He would hear himself saying to an attendant “Give me the...the...you know...the thingamajig.”

“Individuals whose jobs require close estimations of size relationships--carpenters, dentists, dressmakers, carpet layers, surgeons, often develop great facility in perceiving proportion, as you will as a result of learning to draw.” (right brain genius, may not be drawers necessarily)

--the case of the misplaced ear.
“I have personal knowledge of a case, many years ago, of a boy who was born without an ear on one side of his head. A plastic surgeon built an ear, but incredibly, made the error of placing the ear too far forward---the same common perceptual error that so many of our beginning students make. Also, incredibly, to this day, training for most cosmetic plastic surgeons does not include basic perceptual skills in drawing.”
