Hi, everyone,

        Just a short message today.  Here's Elle's picture.  I didn't
have a decent reference for her battlesuit (which is what I call her
red uniform), but this is based on a character design for Amora
Moroboshi of UY20YL.  The battlesuit is dark red overall with a bare
mid-section, the legs covered in very opaque red nyons (the borders
are dark red), and red top-trimmed silver boots.  The cape is silver.
Of course, Elle is red-haired and green-eyed.

        Tomorrow will come Daros and Althea's picture.  I'm just going
to do them for the hybrids since they're the ones that make the
greatest number of appearances in UY-TSY (some of the others [Darsei,
Naosu, Baisur, Tella, Hyakka] show up a lot in UY20YL [along with
Hazel, Yukio, Daros and Althea]).  After that will be Cherry and Alex.

        I've started a new series of pictures.  These will be termed
the Lover's Lane group, which are the mates to the primary characters
who make infrequent appearances in UY-TSY or show up near the end of
the series.  The first one, Nassur's mother (and Honey's bond-mate)
Hunba is done.  Also to be done are:

        Nagisa Shinowataru
        Tsubame Ozuno
        Sil Dedron (Mendou's girlfriend; she appears in "Noa")
        Junba (Cinba's clone/Shinobu's arch-enemy turned lover; she
appears in "Nassur's Story")
        Nyassur (Nassur's clone/Nagaiwakai's boyfriend; he appears in
"Nagaiwakai's Story")

        After that will come the Mentor's Gallery, which include the
mentors/teachers of the main cast.  As of now that stands as:

        Varanko
        Chiezou Budou
        Ashin Budou
        Aikyou Budou
        The Principal of Tomobiki High (with Kotatsuneko)
        Mark Onsen (with Ayanba)
        Brother Darklight Sunfire

        After that is anyone's guess.

        Anyhow, I just wrote back to Mike (he sent me a package just
before Christmas).  I'm going to get him to send a diskette TXT copy
of "Shinobu's Best Friend" so that I don't have to waste my time
retyping it (that's such a pain).  If diskettes can survive the
Canada-Korea transit (a 15 hour flight) without data lost, then you
could be seeing "SBF" in about three weeks.  If it does not, then Mike
will have to send the diskette surface mail and we're looking at six
weeks.

        After TTO is done, I'm working next on "Noa."

Cheers and enjoy!
