An older sketch of Luen happily collapsed on the sandy banks of a river. He doesn't usually get a chance to relax, so when he finally does, he wants to enjoy every second of it...

 This one features full-color portraits of our heroes plus a collage of minor characters. We have a right-handed version for the convenience of Windows users (whose icons default to the left side of the screen) and a left-handed version for Macs (which do the opposite). If you're one of those people who put stuff all over the place ... well, you'd probably be covering up the picture anyway so take your pick.
