Lost Children Pt.1 Illustrations w/process

*Quite a bit of time spanning between these. I think...Illust. A was a drawing? Maybe not and just an early drawing on tablet, but I know I updated this a year or so later and added characters as they were created/finalize. A good number of characters in the background were added later, but I don't have that version anymore. It was likely lost with computer switch. Not even sure if online somewhere.

Below are synopsis attached for each piece and likely outdated. If sounds contradictory or confusing to more recent, that is why.
