Character Mind Warp....

This one was pretty fun, although I couldn't make her skin as dark as it was supposed to be. It would have muddled the tonal range...

Nice picture, but my image of her was vertical spikey hair in a ludicrous bright red.

Like righthand Teira

About Abby, that's mostly subjective, which is an inherent issue with this little project. The concrete details are sparse, so this is what I chose. True, the hair could stand to be brighter, but she's a descendant of Gray, so there's no reason her hair can't be relaxed. Her hair style was never actually mentioned, I don't think, just the color. Tiera's hair was given much more attention, really. Here's the hair a bit brighter.

"brilliant bird like red hair that stuck up several inches and fanned out just a bit all over."
I've seen that in real life, but I'm betting that a good picture of that is going to be hard to find. I'm tempted to stick with what I've got.

found a few that might work for Abbie..
The blond would probably be the easiest to get the hair bright red, and eyes ice blue, and possibly the skin almost blue black? Tho the last one is more what I imagined in facial features ect...

Found an avatar maker
so had some fun! Tor, Trice, Sara, and Alphonse.

My problem was and is the geometry of the hair. None of those are very close to what the description had me imagining, although the blond comes closest. It literally seemed like the primary feature of the hairstyle was that it went up noticeably, then fanned out in a way that seemed separate from the root of the strands, like a short tree. Most of those styles are more like bushes, not trees. I could just be wrong in how I'm reading the details, but so much of this is subjective anyway.

BTW, I'm going to be without a computer for like 2 weeks starting Monday, so not much more production is coming out of me real soon. But after I figure out Abby and Ali (who should be simple, everything considered), I'm going to switch to working on the men for a bit. They're going to be difficult. Too many images make them look like major d-bags or they've got the kind of stubble that makes them look too old.
