"Alright, everyone, time for the picture! Tabletop RPGs, in the back. Everyone else...Bah, who cares, just sit somewhere." Narrator went back to adjusting the tripod in front of the couch as the others took their positions. 
Jade plopped down and leaned back against an arm, continuing her conversation with Shelley. "But seriously, eels? I mean, I guess eels and dragons are kind of similar, but they're certainly not my thing."
"C'mon, man! Eels are great! I had a moray eel skull at the end of my pike here until I pawned it off on some creepy guy on our boat." Shelley laughed. She had seen Jade leave her dragon, Rocky, outside 071885's apartment before entering and had been dying to talk to her since. She was worried she would have to fight a dragon some day, but this girl had one trained like a puppy. 
Beside her, Chara leaned against the couch back and glared at the pike. She had been forbidden to bring her weapons, and she wasn't happy about it. They claimed that magic alone would be enough to defend her if a fight started, and having both magic and weapons would just be asking for trouble. 
Samantha shifted uncomfortably in her seat on the other end of the couch, trying to focus on her book. The only man there, decked out in some weird piece of armour, had sat next to her, and it seemed like he had been staring at her chest ever since. Finally, she was fed up. "Can you please look somewhere else?! There are plenty of other boobs in the room if that's what you're looking for!"
Before he could respond, Narrator piped up with "Chillax, Sam. Onyx Dragon is a girl, and about as interested in boobs as I am."
"Hey!" the revealed female snarled. 
"Nothing said in this room will affect the knowledge of others in your worlds. Relax."
Still unhappy, she turned back to Sam. "I was reading. I read that book a few years ago, but you're at my favourite part."
Sam relaxed a little. "Oh? Have you read much else by the auther? I'm really familiar with his works..."
As the two discussed literature, Twink was telling Shiro tales of her adventures on the Galaxseas. "And THEN the Aristurtle tried to eat Holley, but I was like AWWWW NO! And I threw an Ultra Ball and I caught it! It was AWESOME! Oooh! Oh! And after that, we sailed over to the Historseas to..."
Shiro smiled shyly as the little chibi continued rambling on excitedly. She enjoyed speaking to this creature. She didn't like to talk herself, and often times people wanted her to join in the conversation, so having someone who liked to talk as much as this Twink thing did was a nice change. 
Holley crossed her arms over Jade's leg, smiling at Sturge. Sturge didn't seem pleased to be taking part in the event. "We should be studying right now," she muttered bitterly. 
"Aw, come on, Captain, we have all the time in the world, right?" She winked.
"We have a week."
"Close enough!"
They bickered away as the two ponies, Pumpkin Patch and Snow Song, sewed happily in the corner. "It sure was nice of 071885 to let us use her apartment for the picture, huh, Pumpkin?" Snow song asked happily. 
"Yes. It's a shame she had to work. I hope she'll like this table cloth I'm embroidering as a thank-you gift. Now, once we get home we'll have to water the garden. There's supposed to be rain tomorrow, but the pegasai are all so busy with the upcoming wind storm that I don't want to count on them..."
"Alright guys, everyone look at the camera!" Narrator called as she focused. 
They ignored her completely and continued with their conversations.
"Guys! Camera! Now! Say 'Typewriter!'"
Still nothing.
"...Will someone look at the camera?"
Sam turned to face her, but at that point Shelley told a joke and Jade gave a laugh, causing her to turn to the ruckus.

"You know what? Fine. Good enough. I'll mail you each a copy when they're developed."

Ta-Da! It's done! 11 of my OCs in one picture!
I completely forgot 071885. =.= Xador and Samala are also missing by accident. There are no Embers characters on purpose. 
The walls and floor have a specific meaning for me, which is why I chose them. (The carpet actually turned out quite close to what I imagined. )
Back row: Chara (D&D 3.5, which I'm DMing) and Shelley (Pathfinder)
Couch: Samantha, Onyx Dragon, and Jade Dracona
Floor: Shiro, Holley, Sturge, Twink, Pumpkin Patch, and Snow Song.

My small FaberCastell pen died during the making of this, hence all my lines being thicker than I had wanted (also meaning I won't be able to do any painted regular sized pictures any time soon). 

Done with acrylic on canvas. I actually did the sketch in three layers, cut them out, taped them together, and then taped them to the back of the canvas and traced it with one hand, holding it up to the sun with the other. It was quite the task.

Hope you all enjoy! Dne on a...I'd say 12x16" canvas, but I'm not sure. </i>

EDIT: HUZZAH! We FINALLY got some decent colours in there!
