Congrats! That sounds really cool for you. Don't forget to enroll people when 
you're there, the program sounds interesting! ;)

Don't worry. We've all done much worse than that! :p

> Now for the drawings!

I especially like the apothocary. Ynar also has charisma as a character, I 
think. As Kai said, Talan is recognizeable, although his hairs aren't the 
same. That's a good thing to me. In sequels, when you meet characters that 
were in the previous game, you usually like it when they are a bit different 
(well, I do). I remember the enjoyment of discovering what was Stan's new job 
in Monkey Island 2! :)

Andare looks fine to me as well. Doesn't look too much Anime. But you pointed 
a relevant point: the characters should not look too like Anime characters. 
Not that I have anything against Anime, but it will probably make it harder 
for you gfx people to draw with about the same style.

So all in all, it looks cool to me. We can start putting faces on the 
characters, and that's very cool. Continue this way and it's the coders that 
will have to catch up the gfx people! (but can this seriously happen? ;)) No, 
seriously, maybe soon we could start some production gfxs. I'm really looking 
forward for seeing Marcella moving! (or for the colorized 
Frostbloom-near-the-tree!)

Speaking of this, are the design guidelines finished and available? They are 
on since... a long time. :)

Alex.
