I'm just wondering if in any of the later parts of the adventure path there will be artwork of any of the other children of Westcrown members besides the two main one's or any detailed descriptions on what they look like?
Nope; those NPCs don't really play a huge role in the AP, and we don't have enough room or budget to illustrate them (since if we did one it'd only be fair to do them all!).

Fair enough Don't suppose there were any notes or the like that gave a basic description of them (rough age hair colour ect?)

None beyond what's in print. These NPCs have brief descriptions and the like, but since they're supposed to be recurring NPCs that follow along in PC footsteps and react and adapt to how the PCs treat them, we didn't want to "presuppose" much about them. They're intended to be NPCs that evolve naturally in your game, and they'll take a little bit of work and prep from the GM to make them be a strong element of your game.
We'll be doing something similar with NPCs in the next Adventure Path, Kingmaker. But there, these NPCs are going to be even more central to the story line, and we'll be trying to be a bit more detailed about them with more illustrations. For Council of Thieves, though, they're really meant to be for the individual GMs to have fun with.
I'd grab the Face Cards set and find ones you think are appropriate. :0
Kevin, I don't know how you're planning on using the Children but my approach has been to keep them fairly vague. A couple of them have risen and have a kernel of a personality but it's all deliberately generic. The reason for this is I want to leave those NPCs as potential cohorts for PCs and more importantly potential replacement for dead PCs. If someone dies, this is a great pool of bodies to pick from to explain where a new character comes from.
If you describe these guys too much, you're writing your players into a corner in the future where it comes to these potentials.
You may have something great planned, but I figured I'd mention this angle.
If anyone has found art to use for the Children of Westcrown and would like to post/link to it here, that would be awesome.
I've only found for Amaya so far. I'm using a portrait cropped from this drawn by Butterfrog. Not sure if I'll use the full body version. The armor and weapons might fit for a Tian bard, haven't decided yet.
Is there art for a male Garundi paldin published by Paizo? I could swear I've seen one, but can't find him anywhere. If he exists, he might be perfect for Sclavo.
