Quick and dirty notes about the avies --
Ishie is 16,
Max is 17,
Sade is 20,
Glenn is 26.

Not sure how old Amadis is. Somewhere in his early twenties.

I think all the pictures of the avies are in color except for the Max one, 'cause by that time Max had twigged on to the fact that I was drawing him and was about to throw a fit, but so you know, Max has dark brown eyes and dark gold hair. Pale, but not as pale as Sade. Few people are. ^_^

Amadis isn't in color either, but his eyes and hair are black and his skin is dark tan, so, yeah. ^_^;

I drew the most pictures of Ishie because he's the most anime-ish of my avies and the easiest to draw. Max and Glenn are hardest to draw, because they both have curly hair and because Max avoids being captured on paper or camera.

The picture I drew of Amadis cracks me up constantly because it's so HIM. He's all dramatic and stuff.

I am very, very satisfied with my Sade one, mostly because it FINALLY came out RIGHT. It was about friggin' time...

Ishaja at 13.

This'd be Ishie a few days after his initial capture. The soldiers had a very difficult time cleaning him up, but they managed to do it, and this is more or less what he looked like once they were done. He was bound by chains because he had a tendency to flip out on people when they approached him and try to gnaw their face off.

Demon Ishaja.

He's never gone demon. Ever. He hates magic and fears his spirit-guard Altivez, so the last thing he'd ever do is go demon. This is what he'd look like if he did, though, at which point you'd know the Apocalypse was imminent. Definitely inspired by Saiyuki Goku's true form.

Scratching the Ish.

Two chibi Ishies, because Ishie is just amusing and has had both of those expressions on his face at some point in time.

Ishie's Reaction to Seeing a Bakery.

Heh, this is actually an illustration of a story Danielle and I wrote, where her avie Andy, who is a total softie, had to take care of Ishie for a day. Ishie got a load of a massive wedding cake in the window and wanted it very very very badly, and Andy just couldn't hold up against the pleading of the Ishie, so he had to kiss his Playstation 2 goodbye. Incidentally, Andy used his lover Alex's credit card to purchase the expensive-ass wedding cake.(Once in the store, Ishie also fell in love with a fudge cake.) Alex was not amused.

Sade Glas.

The drawing that started off my drawing jag, when I decided, "Hey, why don't I try to draw Sade, even though I've tried drawing him fifty million times and never was quite able to pull it off?" Imagine my surprise when I finally pulled it off to my satisfaction. I stared at the page, and Sade stared back... ^_^ This'd be him as he is now at age twenty.

Michael Jeremiah Henry.

That'd be what Sade's *real* name was. (You didn't think his birth name was 'Sade,' did you?) This pic is of him at twelve, about the time when Glenn found him. (Before or after, I'm not sure. He's always been rather serious, and has a timeless, ageless face.)

Glenn Glas.

(I don't want to know why he looks so damn cheerful, but this is the first time I've ever drawn him successfully. Joyness!)

Max.

This is what he looks like in my head. First time I've ever drawn him successfully. The shawl around his shoulders was given to him as a birthday gift from Amadis, and if he'd have known I was drawing him when he had it on, he'd have flipped. ^_~ He tries to pretend that Amadis means nothing to him.

Amadis.

~cackles~ It's so HIM. Danielle likes it, so I'm giving it to her. =P He's the hormonal one...

Download this song. It is the shiznit. It's really hilarious. At any rate, this is my illustrated version of it. ~cackles~ Sorry, Max, but you're easy to make fun of. It's your lousy temper. XP
