The new crew look super lovely!

I really dig how much personality you're getting into the poses here. Alec is incredibly bendy, and you've done a great job capturing that (and a general sense of motion) in the shots of him. You did a great job making it clear that he's stretching, but also that it's, like, a pretty normal thing for him to have a leg over his head. I'm super impressed by the detail in how his shirt's hanging, too; you really sell this incredibly athletic feat as a sorta casual thing for him, and it just has so much personality.

The girl with the coffee has more or less the opposite sort of energy about her (at least, I assume it's coffee; she looks like she could use a cup of coffee). Something about the way she's leaning forward, her eyes, her glasses and slightly messy hair, it all makes her look kind of sarcastic and deadpan. I can almost hear her making some clever yet biting observation. I don't know if I'm right at all on this, but I love her either way.

The girl in white looks very nice and collected. It's cool how you do the full-body shot of her; even though there's no actual scenery, I can fill in the blank (it looks to me like she's sitting on a low wall, or maybe a bench. Bus stop?). You've done a really good job making her outfit dynamic and interesting despite its being monochrome; her color palette in general is solidly in the whites and light, warm colors, but you find some cooler shades in the greys to make it dynamic and add complexity.

And Hades' outfits are great. I hope he's up on his tetanus shots! I appreciate that he looks less bleak and more contemplative; there's a sort of introspective vibe to him that has me really intrigued. Also, I really appreciate the way you handle zippers, chain, safety pins, and other assorted metal implements of destruction; you take an almost impressionist style in these spots that I think is really canny, bringing a lot of detail and associations without bogging down in too many distracting hard lines. It wisely lets the color contrast do a lot of the heavy lifting.

You're awesome for making these!

So cute! I'm loving the detail in everyone's outfits.
"Art enriches the community, Steve, no less than a pulsing fire hose, or a fireman beating down a blazing door. So what if we're drawing a nude man? So what if all we ever draw is a nude man, or the same nude man over and over in all sorts of provocative positions? Context, not content! Process, not subject! Don't be so gauche, Steve, it's beneath you."

You did an amazing job!

Mason looks like the coolest kid on the block. I love how effortlessly sulky/chill you made them seem, and their whole ensemble with the backwards hat, the long and kinda messy hair, and the skateboard just scream out what their vibe is (it's a vibe I know well, living two blocks uphill from an impromptu skatepark). I can imagine their voice already just from this image.

I've also getting good vibes from Amaryllis. She has this sort of melancholy look about her (so maybe not good good vibes, if that makes sense? :P ), just in the way her eyes are a little downcast. You've done a lot to give texture and body to a simple outfit here, and her choker, scar, and white streak all come together to make her positively striking nonetheless.

I can't get over Hunter mimicking the art on his shirt. It's such an amazing pose concept and you rock for pulling it off with such charisma, making it super obvious what's going on without overstating it. Also, that's a cool shirt and you did the detail on it really really well! I also love the sort of... I dunno if I'd call it mischievous expression? Maybe "impish" is more apt. Anyways, he looks fun.

Maybe-Melanie has a very nice quiet and restrained air to her which pops excellently when compared to the more energetic/loud kids around her. I love that she's drinking coffee through a straw. Is that normally how you do it? I don't drink coffee. Anyways, you've managed to take a fairly mellow and neutral color palette and make it flow through her whole look well, preventing her from coming off as bland, just... subtle, instead. That takes talent!

Matt has a sort of easygoing yet serious thing going on as he contemplates the adorableness in front of him. The detail I want to really zoom in on here is how you show us a lot about his aesthetic just with how his shirt fits, like he's the sort of guy who gets shirts pretty exactly in his size so they're not tight but they fit well precisely enough that if he does a less conventional position (like the sprawl he has going) they ride up a bit. That's really good attention to the way things lie on people (also he looks pretty fit and that's cool). Also also the duck onesie and the actual duck are just amazing.

Finally, you have Kitty's cute-yet-creepy thing down to a t. She has this sort of intent look and the over-the-shoulder angle helps sell that--it's a catlike expression in a way, like she just saw the laser pointer dart off. And you've done very well with her hood, giving it this nice but rather homemade look.

You rock a ton for making these! I'm always wowed by your talent and generosity. :)
