It's nice to see a happy Thyra, as opposed to "SUPER SERIOUS SUPERINTENDENT LADY". Especially digging her posture, and the smile. Her nose is so adorable, too! All around, very cute picture.

I'm a sucker for the dark-blue-and-faded-yellow color combination, and this is good stuff!
Can't help but feel like something should be going on with her hair, but I guess Thyra's the type to keep it simple.

Thyra's hair is one of the first cases of me working character details into their appearance, actually- The fact that her hair is kept meticulously straightened and at a managable length is an indication of how controlled she keeps herself and everything within her domain. (This is a direct contrast to Natalie's bird-hair which was deliberately chosen to evoke a rooster with its hackles up, a lion's mane, or a dog/cat with its fur raised, and Zebedee's long flowy ponytail, which shows how easygoing and free spirited he is) (The design/interplay of the three of them is one of the few things 14 year old Lee got right, IMO. They form a very nice Superego-Id-Ego trio. Maybe I should drag Nat into Terminer, after all...)
I'm a major advocate of "every detail about a character should tell you something about them", which is why it's so easy for me to snap out details that hadn't been established before, right off the cuff.

I thought that might be her. Nice! You draw "old person" more convincingly than I do.

*checks the Flickr photostream*
*also checks Loogs' recent post history*
Is it.......................................................... Vathale?
I really like her slightly weary, incredulous look. One of the best facial expressions out of your new batch.

bingo. it's the kind of look you develop after you lose two of the three families you've ever had. it's the expression you develop when your child and partner have been missing for close to six years. good eye.
also proud of the fact that i've managed to make Pleiades look like a good genetic mix of the two. expect an old family portrait soon??

this here is Halley's card. let me go into some character stuff for a second: Halley's a courier, yeah? but she specializes in shadier courier work, and courier work for people who live off the grid or who otherwise have no set address. so she has a "calling card" of sorts--the card she hands to clients, and to the clients' recipients in hopes that they might become clients themselves. it's got no name, no number, no text on it to indicate a form of contact. clients are strongly encouraged to hold onto the card because it's the only method to establish a telepathic connection with Halley and therefore the only method (short of managing to track her down in person) to conduct business with her. makes me wanna start a standalone topic re: character business cards

I LOVE THIS PIECE. The line work on that hair is so bold, so intense... The whole piece is really, really dynamic, and it's kinda hard to look away from. I love the work you did with his eyes/shades btw. Does a perfect job of obscuring his expression while if you look closer, you really he's less "smarmy smartass pyromancer" (the image he projects to the world) and more "vulnerable creampuff desperately seeking the approval of others".
Could you imagine how 2003 Loogs would have reacted to this image? XD
