Update from FanExpo 2024 Competition

Last summer I ran a little drawing competition at FanExpo in Toronto.  Draw a character doodle, and I'll turn the best ones into important characters in TOTM Season 3.  I got about 40-50 drawings, but three of them stood out.  I had to make some changes to them - the names for sure, and the general cute factor needed to be altered - but I did find a use for two out of three, so far:

The name Nacho is a no-go, but this is basically how I see elves. D'Reni and Tentir are in the show because of this sketch.  Apart from the hair... this is basically of how I see them, appearance-wise.

This is Midge.  I figured that no fairy would call themselves 'Midge' nor allow anyone else to call them that, but I liked the idea of fairies & sprites playing key roles in the narrative. The encounter where Tentir gets cursed is just a taste - there's another important moment coming up in the next few months. 

This guy, Zom... I know how to use him, but we haven't met him yet.  Interestingly, the name 'Zom' would work as-is, but in order to make some lore elements 'click' better, I have changed it.  Watch out for a powerful hooded mage somewhere down the road...
