I checked with Meira first to make sure it was OK to post this now.
All of these were done in about 3 hours each from start to finish, including breaks and getting distracted by shiny things. Elly and Lutz have no backgrounds and weren't entirely finished as they were done for a composite image for the JP illustration contest and the lower portions were faded out anyway. Drawn and coloured in Corel Painter using a Wacom graphics tablet.

Mirei Mikuna of PSU fame. This one was done originally for the PSOW contest at the last minute. No, seriously, I started it four hours before the deadline, rofl. Her arm is perhaps too long, and her lower torso bothers me, but I don't hate the piece overall. Not bad for being entirely out of practice.

Elly Person of PSO fame. God bless the Ep1&2 artbook for having a back shot of her character design. It's a bit wonky, I've never drawn anyone in this kind of position before. Her head probably needed to be larger. The mouth's a bit weird, but eh.

Lutz of PSI fame.(Well, II too, and he gets some mention in PSIV, but.) Last one I did. I was pretty tired and forgot eyebrow creases and the white highlights in his hair I used on the other two. Oh well, when you first meet him he's living in a cave in the freaking desert. He doesn't get to have shiny perfect Pantene commercial hair, damn it. P.S. I fucking hate drawing cloaks.
So, yeah, Ian draws after what, three years? >_>;
