NaNoWriMo Concepts

It's (soon to be) National Novel Writing Month (which is international; go figure) and I'm taking the opportunity to spend a month writing something entirely out-of-band. This is partially because I'm have a flush of ideas right now and the only way to get them out of my system sometimes is to write them and find out they don't work. So, I started doing concepts for the characters as well as timelines and background notes. Here are a couple of concept images for characters who will, and won't, make it to the page this November.
