The six main characters of the Yrae Chronicles. King Mithé of Raykin, who has since been redesigned, Princess Lynnlita of Llayad, Madame Yamin, head healer of the palace healing house, General Nimay of the King's Own, Crown Prince Nolryn of Raykin and fallen king Yan.

Mithé~ I've finally worked out a good technique of colouring his beard =D I've used a different technique every time I've drawn him, which is I think~ three or four times, and this one I think works ^^ ...and I forgot to shade his cumberbund. Oops. Must do that later ^^;;

Lynnlita! So, so much love for how she turned out. Definitely my favourite of the six panels. Her hair is incredible fun to ink and colour, and she's so lovely and curvy~ X3 So proud of her cleavage *^^* Every female character I've designed has had a pretty flat chest, because I'm not particularly good at drawing boobage, in all honesty. So for Lynnlita I decided to bight the bullet and give the girl some proper boobage, and it worked~ *^^* Also? Boas are hella fun to do. If you have a feather brush in Photoshop, make room for a feather boa some time. Seriously <3

Nimay... meh. Not much to say really. Top hand looks crap tho, thankfully got to cover most of that up with dark skin and shadow >>;; Oh yeah, and that's more the actual size of her sword. Cos honestly, a guard that big is going to be pretty annoying in combat. It just looks cool in the picci X3 So yeah, wingspan is more the length of the hilt than the blade XD;;

Yamin~ has magic =D I really like doing bloo bubbly magicy stuff, have you noticed? =3 She's also got rather sessy legs, if I do say so myself. Quite happy with the hands too, considering her left one's in an awkward position. I did successful foreshortening on a hand! score~! I just realised, I've never drawn her in healing robes Oo Must do that some time ^^;

Nol would look pretty good if his right arm was doing something else. As it is he's my least favourite panel. Apart from the arm tho, I like how he came out. And his sword hilt's too short, but then so're Nimay's and Yan's, so whatever. He's also taller than Lynnlita, but I didn't have the height chart on me when I was drawing it and couldn't be buggered going back to the house to get it, so yeah. Pretend he's a smidge taller.

Yan... looks like Yan. Yep. Hair's doing odd things too ^^; All spiky and stuff. Meh, he's got the windswept look going. Or something.

I've actually been wanting to do a picci like this for a while, but up unitl a month or two ago, when I completely overhauled the plot for Silent Harmony, I had five main characters, meaning there'd only be one character in the centre. Thing is, the story's split evenly between Yamin and Nimay, so it wouldn't really work giving one of them the spotlight. And then~ Lynnlita came along, so now I've got six. Perfic ^^

Woo~ long description. Nobody's going to read all that ^^;
