These are old. Like OOOLLLDDDD old. Like 2 or 3 years old. But I don't think you've seen any of them, so I'll share them.
None of these are traced, but most of them are copied. As in I had a picture to reference, and I reproduced sketches of them.
KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE SKETCHES AND THEY ARE OLD SO SOME OF THEM ARE LIABLE TO SUCK
Oh, and I arranged them chronologically.

Stuff For The Game
Arlen
Main character.
This guy's been through some transformations. :\
This is the very first, very original design I did in 2004, back when I was gonna name him Kaizer, lol.
[spoiler=Arlen, 2004, LARGE](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Farlen200401.png&hash=9a8b4c74bbe1f9de12f9613ed57d6de4f47e019f)[/spoiler]
Here's an update I made later. I was going for scruffy, but not all that intimidating.
[spoiler=Arlen, 2006](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Farlen200601.png&hash=d9f53e48f832b059b346a2920d6590d52dd1d0ca)[/spoiler]
I should have another sketch of him laying around, but I can't find it.
The most updated version would have my most recent addition to his character, which is "has bandages over his hands and around his head." Clumsy bastard. :)
Serren
Secondary Male Character.
Originally named Damien. I had some really generic names back then, LOL.
This is the original concept of him from 2004. He's supposed to be the quiet, scary one.
[spoiler=Serren, 2004, LARGE](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Fdamien200401.png&hash=eb50025410117cf9983133246391803a2d865fb7)[/spoiler]
Pluto
Secondary Female Character that for some reason gets more of my attention than any other character.
Here's an uber-sketchy sketch of her in Serren's jacket
[spoiler=Pluto, 2004](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Fpluto200401.png&hash=16d9ed372540d24a2a43223396d8720f8ae5cf48)[/spoiler]
Here's the original concept sheet, though it's a little sparse.
The picture of her face in this one is perfect, I think, though. It really captures the personality I wanted her to have.
[spoiler=Pluto, 2004, LARGE](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Fpluto200402.png&hash=68c0961aea08f42b82ff74f38061a618277f3d89)[/spoiler]
Here's the most recent rendition, but I'm not too crazy about it. She looks too mature, and not distant enough. :\

Merci
Tertiary Female Character.
Psychotic little girl with split personalities.
Shot on the left is her when she's a killing machine.
On the left is when she's an annoying, mischievous little girl. I apparently have a thing for too-big jackets.
[spoiler=Merci, 2006](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Fmerci200601.png&hash=c379ab55283d321018c904f81c20e63ba7d1bbb4)[/spoiler]
Grafton
Tertiary Male Character. He uses guns!
ACTION SHOT!
[spoiler=Grafton, 2004](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Fgrafton200401.png&hash=e220752b932e9222fc87857e27a38b5cacae5f3c)[/spoiler]
Here's the concept sheet. Very sparse. Probably could have not put it up, but oh well.

Elion
aye-lee-on. Smartass demon in a business suit. Secret character. !_! Keep it on the downlow.
Here's a sketch from my day planner, LOL. I don't think I captured his character too well, though.
[spoiler=Elion, 2006](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fryanleber.com%2Fcontent%2Fartwork%2Felion200601.png&hash=2470502843c42b7d89c7b9e47ddee40e08cee949)[/spoiler]
hey man, these are actually great, especially the referenced ones. Referencing actually takes skill (of which, of that particular sort, i have none)
your originals seem off for some reason though : /
wow! these are all great! The character drawings are sweet looking! I love how you did the cloths layout and gave it a cool look.
:D very nice.
thx you two :3
Yeah, the originals look off because I have a hell of a time with perspective. :\
well, what I'm seeing is that the legs are too short, thusly making the arms too long.
Other than that, all I don't really agree with, so to speak, is the eye style, but because that's a personal style choice, it isn't a critique.
