Re: Character images
For Cwalen (who asked publicly) and MelloYell (who restated Cwalen's request).
And thanks to the player who supplied me information on their physical appearances.
I present: Jessy and Sydnie Blue.

A Brief Explanation of the Thought Process While Drawing:
I've always imagined Jessy as having semi-long wavy hair (based on the description, which implies that his hair is long enough to hide his eyes). I put the hat thing in there because (1) I wanted to be able to see his eyes and the hat provided a good excuse as to why his hair was out of his face, and (2) I was too lazy to come up with a hairline for him, which would've probably ended up more feminine than masculine anyway if I had, and that would be awkward considering that Jessy is, in fact, male. You can probably tell I'm not all that used to drawing men. I also envisioned him as having light hair, maybe a dirty honey-blonde or something (his chardesc doesn't specify), but obviously it didn't turn out like that (I feel like it implies brown more than dirty-blonde, but whatever).
Sydnie's supposed to be resting her head on his shoulder, hence the way her head and his head are turned. I don't know if this conveys that very well, but that was the intent. And as for my leaving out the blueberry stains, I just didn't feel like adding them (mostly because they would've probably ended up looking phony, and I wouldn't have been able to let myself show it here publicly).
I used two reference images (for things such as proportions, facial shapes, etc): for Sydnie's face, I used a small statue I was given several years ago at Easter. For Jessy, I used the man on the cover of a book I have.
Materials Used: Um...just regular paper that happens to be in a hardcover sketchbook, and a #2 mechanical pencil
....Maybe I'm adding just a little bit too much fanfare about this here. xD

Re: Character images
Not enough fanfare to match my praise.
And you have the benefit of knowing the two characters.
Piscator showed me a sketch (that I hope will be shared) that seemed to capture them quite well as well, off a really basic data scrape and whatever they got through the forum.

Thanks for the positive comments.

I know. I'm still working on putting it together, and it's difficult because I'm on my phone right now. But I'm working on it!

Re: Character images
You'll probably guess who'd sent me the description, but I'll leave the giving of further details to the person in question.

Seconded. I don't know why, but she reminded me of the children in the "Rule of Rose" videogame *shudders*
