Turmith rides again!Turmith: Booyeah! I mean, er, mae govannen.
This is the champion, leader, and commander of my unit of Celebthol, and his name means Grey Master (Tur as in Turgon and Turambar, and Mith as in Mithrandir and Mitheithal). That’s pretty appropriate, since he’s the boss and all the horses are grey. His horse’s name is Eärfaroth, which means Sea Hunter (Eär as in Eärendil and Belegaer, and Faroth as in the High Faroth on the map in the Silmarillion). Note the twoonie and see how small he is! Funny, I always seem to feel he’s larger. That device on his shield is not a P, it’s a tengwar T, okay? That bit was painted freehand.
Shiny jewel, huh? That part was a bit tricky. Also I varnished the shield with floor polish (also the jewels – it works!) to make it shiny. Unfortunately, it got on the ribbon too. I didn’t have Citadel silver and gold when I painted the horse, so the barding is not as shiny as it might have been. Still, it could make a good effect if done on purpose.
I went to the official Twilight Princess site, helped Midna, and downloaded lots of lovely stuff… like desktop icons and MP3s of the Hyrule Field theme etc. Yay! I think I’ll try to get the soundtrack. Also the Tsubasa and Last Exile soundtracks… pretty Japanese music…
Eh, and we went to Kevin’s performance of Carmina Burana, and it had three choirs, two pianos, four percussionists, and eight dancers. It turns out that you can duplicate the work perfectly with only choir and percussion, since the pianos weren’t very audible. I liked the dancers somewhat, especially the ones with swirly dresses. It was very exciting, but my Mom still liked the part in the first half before Carmina where the Young Men’s Choir (Kevin’s) sang Down By the Riverside arranged by Nick. I liked their Kyrie better. Also the Carmina conductor was given a can of tuna since they were singing Oh For Tuna. Neh heh.
New chapter of Timeless Ocarina: The Realm of Silence. I had to insert an extra chapter here, for Shoza to speak up. Go Shoza! The part where Link chats with him was so long he got a whole personal chapter. So now it’s 23 chapters long.
By the way, if anyone wants to give me critique on how to write better (more meaningful character development, ‘how to write a plot with structure’, that kind of thing) I will gladly accept it, unless it’s something like “your story’s dumb” with no reason why (I believe such messages are called ‘flames’). Don’t worry about offending me if you have something intelligent to say, though – unless you live in the same house as me, I’ll have thick enough skin. ^_^7
