Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
Julia Wells, significant other of Ian Caladharas. Julia co runs the Wells Hotel in Erech’s Clocktower District. For those people who have rpg’d in this world: The Wells Hotel is now known as Cytheron’s. Julia and Ian tied the knot in the City of Greyrest in the Crossing Territories.
Ok, you`ve lost me here: What is that light reflex on Ian`s chin?
Could be from a watch, but it`s too big and that watch would have to be outside the window?
But it can`t be from a light on the wall behind – their shadows are in that direction, so light definitely is from outside.
Btw.: I love her jewelry – especially the amulet!
It’s just a slightly brighter spot reflecting on the window is all. The lighting is all being done by a single spot which is using the outside backdrop as a gel for it. 1 point total for everything. It get’s you the right color, and shading, and is really easy to work with….especially when the set you’re using is essentially one big box.
James – you have reached Hitchcock proportions on the tease here. I was hoping for the first meeting by the end of the week. I realize its only a few panels a day but they have been in this room since August 5th. I have been looking forward to Ian meeting the lady from the painting since we saw Ian find the camera at the house.
Some of this was done so you understood just why this situation was important in the first place. But you’ve still got a while yet on that…there are other people involved in this too. Heck, in a couple weeks old Kira Dawn is going to be making an appearance again in regards to this situation.

Easy? Ok, if you say so – it looks great though (I`m still looking at the shadows very closely…)!
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Look at the TV in the first panel. Its the sun being reflected and he moves into the reflection.
Now I`m feeling kinda stupid – thanks for the explanation. 🙂
