I have been gathering evidence that the VMS creator[s] have some formal training. I can see that they have (although not quite professional level) but finding evidence to prove it is a whole other issue.
It is my guess that the illustrator is fairly young (not a child, but not middle-aged or older). I am not 100% certain but I'm leaning in that direction... maybe late teens?
We don't know if the scribe and the illustrator are the same person. We also don't know if the "cipher" designer and the scribes are the same person/people (I believe there are at least two scribes and possibly three, and LFD has potentially identified more than that).
If I had to wager (I prefer not to wager but if I had to), I would guess that the "cipher" designer is probably one of the scribes (maybe scribe 1?). I'm not prepared to wager whether the illustrator is also a scribe. I really don't know and there aren't many clues as to whether this is so. There's a certain integration that suggests the illustrator MIGHT be one of the scribes but I am hesitant to suggest it.
