Sorry this took so long; my school just finished our run of Sound of Music so I've got a lot more time on my hands now.
As for the next one, well, Ozai is slow going. I've got an idea for Lu Ten and an idea for Jeong Jeong and ideas for various other characters but they're not done yet... or even really started. So I'll try to update soon but no promises!
Again, if you have any characters you'd like done, feel free to suggest! I need the inspiration!
And speaking of reviews, even if you don't have an idea, please review anyways! Reviews make me happy and more motivated to write! ;)
