I got a lot of characters from a comic I might make or not. Not sure, I won't make it until later on when I can get drawing people down better. But here are some scraps of mine of them. I will put up bios of them later on.

Kazuki
Bishonen parody and poking fun at my inability to draw guys.

Amyrillis
Another character- a redesign too.

Wow! Those are good too! Can't wait to see them finished!
:applause :applause

i dig em. very nice indeed.

Thanks.
Here's another one.

Keikyo

I will color them tomorrow hopefully. Tired right now.

how did you come up with the names for the characters?

I don't really know.
Kazuki is a Japanese name, don't ask why I named him that, just randomly did.
Amyrillis is a mispelling of Amaryillis, a type of flower.
Keikyo is a mispelling of Keiko meaning "Lucky one". (she is supposed to bring good luck so yeah).

These are the old names of my characters.

Interesting. I'm always trying to come up with original names for the stories I write and never seem to come up with anything clever and new.

I sometimes run out of name ideas too, especially with naming locations. My Blade Dancer fanfic has a lot of made up locations, and I have a difficult time coming up with names of them.
