If Chris is writing the undead origin character you can forget it being goth. Or just another skeleton.
Mr Avelone... hmpff. Should be Sir Avelone :P

I like both Kidby and Kirby takes and styles. Although i think Kirby fused his peculiar style with Discworld mythos much more in a way. The new loading screen art looks a bit better to me, although the old one was good too.
As for the Lohse hair, a bit too much of mr. Truly No One for my taste, but i guess mass market will like the reference. And of course, the in game models are not very alike, unfortunately. Well, the Red prince and Ifan are similar but the girls facial models have been mishandled badly.
