I have it much the same way myself. I do krita for me an not for anyone else. 
In fact the only reason I do _some_ for others is because I want othere 
programmers to be interested enough to help out code.

Hence I took great care to ensure that my needs are covered by the personas.

Oh and about persona development. The more specific we make them and interpret 
them the less use they are. They should only be feeling givers. They should 
never be reasons for excluding a specific feature just because they don't 
specifically need that feature. If someone similar but maybe even doing 
something different then it should go in.

Example: I doubt that Claire would do watercolor paintings but some other 
artist might.
