As a youth, Illchor was prone to irrationality, picking fights, and bizarre clothing and accessories. In other word, he was a normal teenager.

Exhaustion strikes again. After a very restless night, I spent most of today feeling as if I were drunk. Come drawing time, I couldn't think of anything to draw. So I decided to draw Illchor as a teenager. The body proportions would be based on a friend of the Wuffy's whom I'd been talking to earlier. He'd probably be horrified to know I'd done this.

I was reasonably sure, as I sketched this, that the proportions were good. Skinny, but accurate. I had the devil's own time sketching the face, trying about five different angles and sizes before settling on a frontal view... and that had to be referenced.

All in all I've learned a valuable lesson from pictures like this: it does not pay to draw when you're barely awake.�

It's a little smaller than most images.� This one was so skinny that at the usual width of 750 pixels, the imager would have been 1300 pixels tall.
