Yeah, I'm all for Viator learning as many rituals as possible.
And obviously the dice are punishing me for having a fantastic holiday.

1st pass pencil sketch of PCs here, what do people think?
lineup1stpass
Personally when I think of the guys I picture the following changes-
Ah-shahran shorter (in comparison to Freggo & Kali)
Freggo just spot on.
Kali broader and bulkier still.
Kyalia spot on again.
Magnus again very close- bulkier?
Viator- yep that's him.
Velani- less butch, a little more womanly.
Gorm- Lol, spot on again.
Obviously these are just my thought, they're your PCs, and remember this is only a 1st pass. Feedback would be great at this point.
Cheers PDR

My thoughts...
Overall - very nice!
Ah-shahran - he looks like a human, not a deva (no wings, for example)
Freggo - awesome
Kali - actually, his stats are more agile/nimble, than bulky/strong, even though he kinda gives that latter impression; a little bulkier would fit him, I think, and a more predatory stance, maybe; oh, and prominent fangs?
Kyalia - very nice (maybe a little too cute, but that's ok 
)
Magnus - looks good to me (maybe add a helmet?)
Viator - again, looks good (didn't realize, he is that small)
Velani - yeah, she looks a little too much like a guy there; maybe the blade could be a bit longer
Gorm - good doggie! He should be at Ah-shahran's side, of course; maybe a little bigger overall
Bye
Thanee

Sketch looks generally good to me, although I agree that Velani is not quite as female as I'd imagined her. edit: although, now that I've reread it, larryfinnjr's description definitely minimizes her femininity, so the sketch may have her right.
Ah-shahran really is quite tall, as are most Deva. At 6' 3", he's just under average for the race. Without coloring, he should look human; Deva are very similar to humans aside from "an unearthly beauty and an uncanny stillness" and their coloration. Ah-shahran deliberately neglects certain aspects of his grooming and adopts mannerisms to make his unearthliness less apparent. The most telling part of his appearance is his pale gray skin (the dark gray markings on his palms and wrist bottoms are not very obvious).
Deva don't have wings, although many favor wing-like shoulder ornaments (and halo or crown-like headwear). Ah-shahran, being a bit odd by Deva standards, does not go in for wings (or halos).
All of which is to say, I think the artist pretty much nailed Ah-shahran.

Sketch
Love the 1st draft. Love Freggo, think it's perfect. Same for Kyalia. Funny, I always imagined Viator as short! LOL Personally, I'd like to see even longer, wild hair on Ah-shahran, but that's just me. Kali - can go either way, more predator-like, or more bulky. Not sure on Gorm - cute dog, but I imagined him more gruff. As for Velani - yes, wanted to play down the "breast"plate(s) usually found on fantasy-style women, but she's a bit too butch. Her nose is too big, as are her feet (compare to Kyalia's feet, which look great). Agree on longer sword. I know I said originally no hourglass figure, but maybe a just a bit would bring a little feminity and just the hint of upper curves. Would love to see a crest on the breastplate - nothing specific ([MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION] - is there a Fallcrest symbol somewhere in your documentation?). Love the boots. Tell your artist thanks!!
