Here's the lineup/height chart + close ups! I think I finally got their designs somewhere I'm happy with them.

Fun facts about each!

Pomni used to be an employee of their customer-facing C&A laboratory and thus had no idea what else was in that building until it was WAY too late. She doesn't remember much of anything about her life and is struggling to acclimate to her new after-life.

Gangle is a spirit/ghost bound to a mask. She appears as a shadow person, and is happiest when the mask breaks, allowing her to move around freely at the cost of interacting with the physical world.

Ragatha was made in the labs and has very little ideas of the outside world. She'd still love to explore one day.

Zooble feeds off emotional energy. They technically own Gangle's soul, but refuses to collect. Instead, they has a strange deal worked out with Jax in exchange for his effort to free Gangle's soul debt. She seems to be really angry at him often.

Jax is a mad scientist and is as much of an unredeemable asshole as he is in canon!

Kinger is absolutely ancient. He has horrible memory and doesn't remember who originally enchanted him or why, or how he even ended up in the Labs.

Caine is ... Well, Caine. While he does care for the residents of his testing facility and gives them whatever comforts or trinkets they ask for, he doesn't do much to step in and stop Jax when he gets out of hand. He's more interested in the SCIENCE.

Bubble can and will lead you off a cliff if you follow him. Don't follow him.

Gale's Room in Waterdeep Reference

A few notes:

Is that a statue of Mystra on his desk?

His bench looks pretty old

Quite a lot of statues and paintings around his room

Empty display case in back

His book is called "The Art of the Night"

Let me know if you'd like a closer view of anything in this room.

I put a few Hobie face references together for myself and now I shall share them with the masses

Side note I've never seen anyone mention the fact that the coloring on his lips change from scene to scene, what's up with that? I mean it totally fits but that's an interesting and specific choice to make.

Edo period types of hakama pants, fantastic chart by Edo-lover Nadeshico Rin. You can see here from left to right, top to bottom:

Fundomi hakama 踏込袴 - pants with a narrow bottom hem, a type of nobakama (see below)

Tattsuke hakama 裁付袴 - pants tight below the knee, sometimes refered as "ninja pants" (= Iga hakama). Those were worn by many, from samurai to servants and craftmen.

Umanoribakama 馬乗袴 - lit. "riding pants", wide hakama with high gusset split legs for confortable horse riding.

Nagabakama 長袴 - formal trailing hakama worn by samurai from late Muromachi era.

Andonbakama - skirt-like hakama worn by Meiji period female teachers and students (hence why it's sometimes called onna bakama). A boy version appeared after mid-Meiji.

Yamabakama 山袴 - daily-life work pants with narrow legs and sometimes a gathered bottom hem. Name greatly varies depending on areas and time. A direct descendant of this style are women's monpe もんぺ.

Nobakama 野袴 - shorter hakama with black velvet hem, worn by travelling samurai. It was also part of firefighters' gear.

Hirabakama 平袴 - the "classic" ankle lenght men hakama pants, with a low gusset which means it looks nice when sitting (tailoring is hence different from the umanori, see above). Also called hanbakama 半袴, those were longer than the ancient kobakama 小袴 and shorter than formal trailing nagabakama (see above).

Image Description: @surehandslift's post "The Disability Pride Flag" with the pastel disability pride flag under text that reads "Ann Magill, the flag's creator, worked with the photosensitive community to make the flag more accessible".

Over each stripe of the flag it reads: "Sensory Disabilities" over the green, "Psychiatric Disabilities" over the blue, "Invisible Disabilities" over the white, "Neurodivergence" over the yellow, and "Physical Disabilities" over the red. Over the grey background it reads "Mourns victims of violence and abuse against people with disabilities".

Four Ref 2024

Slightly redoing all the Links. Honestly I think Four's design is the most drastic. I can't stand seeing him in just the tabard, he needed some pumpkin pants. Also in the past I drew him with a chubbier body with a thin neck, which didn't look right. With the thin neck and double chin, I'm very happy with his body type.

Author Update: If you haven't heard, I graduated college! That gives me much more time to work on ALUW for now. But I also need to focus on other projects. For now, I hope you'll enjoy the coming reference pages of our favorite Links!
