And Jessie, for your sake I asked Tom if he'd be willing to color a print-out of the illo with a box of crayons.  I thought it'd be cute.  *grin*
Tom really dug it.  I'm pretty sure you hit Rantle spot on, though I think he wanted Shalosha to be a bit more, um, busty.  I asked, "Is he too scruffy looking?" and Tom replied, "Rantle was a hippy and a scoundrel.  He actually might be a little too well-groomed."
Tom kept the pic out all night as we gamed.  And though the session, sadly, ended with one of the PCs balefully polymorphing two other PCs into a lizard and a flying squirrel, everybody was impressed by the pic.  This coming from a group who has vowed never to give me anything for GM's Day.  *grin*
Michael, though, did want a pic of Stanely or The Great Diogenes.  But neither of them were as cool as Rantle.
