Description 1: technically not in the books, Joren bullying Merric

I imagine Joren with his hair down since Kel makes a point of noting that Joren had his hair tied back for training, which I think implies that he normally doesn't have his hair tied up.

2, 3, 4: pieces of that scene in First Test with Merric confronting Kel for defending him. Merric, Kel, and Neal respectively.
5: older!Merric who regards Kel as one of his closest friends x-posted to tumblr but I thought it should be on dA as well

I have so much trouble with Merric's design; I just know he has straight straight red hair, freckles, blue eyes, and is thin and lanky during puberty, haha. He's one of my favorites in the minor cast.

Merric, Joren, Kel, Neal (c)

MERRIC! I adore your older!Merric design, it's almost exactly how I pictured him as well - especially the jawline/chin. The only real difference is that in my head he has a darker hair colour, more red as opposed to ginger (yes, I know the description "red hair" means ginger, but I can't help my imagination...) ALSO BABY!KEL IS ADORBS, CAN I KEEP HER PLZ? (Neal and Merric too, obvs, but mostly Kel. I mean. Look at her ickle HANDS!)

Young Kel's hands are simply wonderful - expressive and delicately drawn. That panel on it's own would be kickass. But it's just one in a set of five equally good panels. jeez.

It's hard to comment on your work without sounding to myself like an overenthusiastic doofus.
