All around me are familiar faces...

Did this for my illustration class, and I think my hand needs a week to recover. I'm not entirely thrilled with the result but my teacher likes it, so who am I to complain? There's so much personal symbolism in this that I'm not even going to bother trying to explain it all. If you get some of it, congratulations, if you don't, I apologize, if you're curious about specific things, feel free to ask questions.
In brief summary, each of those kalnarin characters represents someone who has played a significant role in my life over the past few years. There are probably tons of people missing obviously, I could only fit so many in. It's mostly people I know in person, but you may or may not notice I also stuck one or two people I know online, two fictional characters from something that's very important to me, and my two favorites of my own characters.
I'm going to color this when I get a chance, it'll all probably be more clear then.

Ballpoint pen (which, might I add, is quite fun to sketch with but a -pain- to ink with) on illustration board.
