If only I had a time machine, I'd start from the beginning and everything would be perfect . I'm not crazy, you are) So I went home and googled Francis Uprichard and found a choice curate* of Yoon Suin NPCs from among her wonderful works. I don't have the names of these sculptures but they're all Francis Uprichard work. (Ignore the nam...
