Okay okay okay okay. 

So I promised I'd update them later this week and well... uh I should be busy now but hey it's later this week and I think I have about ten minutes so I thought I'd share some concept doodles (I use the term 'concept' loosely, I don't expect these designs to change much, save for maybe Marie and Iris). I've had so much fun designing and coming up with ideas for them and the Roses and Thorns characters, although I fear that this is all leading up to a pretty paltry pay off. If you can, please help comment or vote on my NaNoWriMo (which will be Roses and Thorns, which will have character sketches up next week) and then this book when they get up- it means a lot. 

AVERY

IRIS

TORCH

MARIE and

SWEEP

Of course this is just a few of the characters, I didn't even mention Heilin or Natrina (who might get a name change). Still, hopefully this was at least somewhat interesting.
