This would be kind of tricky, since:

a) If it were the entire Duelists' Society and friends - essentially the entire cast of the Symphony to date - that would be a hell of a lot of characters in one picture; and

b) it would require us to hammer out designs for six characters (Corwin, Devlin, Amanda, Azalynn, Moose, and T'skaia) who aren't borrowed from anything (well, five and a half, "start with Kaolla Suu, then modify for flavor" makes designing Azalynn easier than, say, Amanda Dessler), which is a tricky thing to do remotely, especially given Phil's limited spare-time reserves. It'd be easier if I wasn't a George Lucas-like control freak as to what my characters look like, but there you are. :)

He nailed Kate with a single reference image, though, so maybe it wouldn't be such a problem. Still, a lot of work for a guy without a lot of spare time; even just the band would call for four (3-1/2?) new designs.

(There's a reason why most of the SOS art requests I've made so far involve the borrowed characters rather than the original ones... )

Mind you, I'd love to see it too, enough so that if Phil had a free block of time and wanted to designate it as Art Consultation Time, I'd be figuring out my gas mileage to Maryland. But I hesitate to impose to the degree of asking for something like that, since it's his time, not mine.

Well, that's nice and all, but who the hell are the Hutchinsons, and what do they have to do with anything? (I'd smiley, except that this actually does bug the hell out of me when people do it. It's more irritating even than the whole "Worchester" thing, because, dammit, it's my Name... :)
