Description I'm having fun with the von Brandt subjects again, those ubiquitous characters from my stories: Roderick, Eveline, Mariel, and Varick, aged 9, 14, 11, and 12, respectively. Eveline's still in girl clothes, though she's turning into a young woman (and that's a bad thing, for her), Varick's starting to grow his hair out, Mariel's still a skinny, prepubescent little thing, and Roddy's finally plumping up after being "infirm" for so many years (he's a little less happy about his life, too, you can tell . . . ).

Things I like: They look like themselves (well, how I picture them, and, hey, since I write them-- well, CO-write them-- that's how they DO like, muhaha . . . ), and are actually in proportion to one another. Their outfits are actually rather period, too . . .

Things I don't like: Varick looks like a stoner. However, this may not be too far off-base . . . though, at 12, I don't know . . . perhaps I could just say he has two black eyes. That would be in keeping with the plot.

Where is soup boy?Varick lookes peeved about something, and Roddy is so tiny. And plump. I like how their faces are all the same general size, because I have trouble drawing people next to each other, and usually the head on one person turns out too big. So I put a bucket on it or soemthing.

^__^!

LIKE A CHICKEN!

Soup boy isn't in their family! He's merely Roddy's best friend. You need to perhaps act some of this out with us, so that we get a feel for perhaps how Soup Boy (Johann August . . . Something . . . the 2nd? 3rd?--We changed the dates, so that it gets a little off--The [Great] Grandfather of Sandwich Boy and The Friend to Roderick von Brandt, Who Is Not Beaten In Moderation) fits into the family with the others.

Yes, Roddy is plump is this picture. It is an improvement over his previous sickly skinniness-- unfortunately, with his health comes some emotional misery . . .

Varick probably IS peeved about something . . . like standing next to Eveline.
