Added to the site on December 01, 2008: This is my DeviantART comment:

I'd been thinking about a series project- an illustration for each of my main OC's: Urack, Keireia, Melora, Korin, Dyluck, Indra, (and Twall, whom I love but wasn't that major until recently) and it's something I really should do- but I've probably scrapped the idea, for a while at least. These were just some rough concepts done in ball-point pen ;p I've added some little descriptions and a map I drew of Neiking a few years ago, maybe it will give some idea of what is actually behind Twall. I'll link to some of the places that I have illustrations uploaded for, maybe it will give people an idea of what the horribly sketchy scenery would look more like.

A simple landmark map: for locations and directions. :)

A few months back I did some in my sketchbooks: Twall, Melora, Indra & Keia, Urack & Korin... but they felt weak to me after a while, so I did these not long ago. I don't know, they feel the same to me. Thinking about the project excited me, but I wasn't excited about actually sitting down and doing it. I have a really hard time finishing pictures of my characters. I can like the feel of the sketches I do of them, but when I try to refine them, they seem to stop looking like themselves to me. It frustrates me so I usually don't even attempt to paint them out. :/

EDIT: About 2.5 hours after posting it I uploaded this version with some color. My sister came over and, while we were talking, I doodled it in ;p
