linkhomeicon Esgalwen! Small, quite anime-faced, but very cute all the same. Slim, with long black hair, and a playful glance back, this is how her husband first saw her, dancing at one of those famous parties in Mirkwood once. Though I don’t think she looked quite this young. Anyway. No shoes! Oh yeah, and she’s dancing to the Enya song Carribean Blue which is very dancable. It’s in 3/4.

So I’m happy with this picture. Yay!

Yesterday one of the girls at work gave me four cinnamon buns (I asked for them) and she wrapped them all in different coloured paper. I guess she was as bored as I was. Still, I appreciate it!

My brother is reorganizing his room. Fall cleaning and all that. ’s gonna be fantastic for him. Me, I don’t bother going in there. That’s his territory. Now if only he realized that about my room…

If you check back at midnight something vaguely exciting will happen.

Onwards!

wilflorinaiconWell! Here is Ceniro, and he’s just going to make me squeal with delight, because I always like it when he shows up. In this picture, he’s actually journeying with Eliwood, but Lyn took time out for ‘Lyn’s Legion’, the Original, to get together, so there’s Florina, the little figure on the left, Wil sitting between her and Lyn, Lyn waving her sword with rather long arms… and Kent and Sain, who are too far away to tell apart. And their loyal friendly tactician is sitting under a tree a short distance away, just enjoying the fact that they’re there again, and not even looking at his Gam- farseer. Seriously, it’s not a Gameboy. Really. It has buttons and stuff, but they’re not Gameboy buttons. Actually, the latest design has no buttons. I figured that would be beyond the imagination of medieval spellsmiths. It might have had levers, but its designer thought those would maybe catch on things and just generally be too unwieldy. So it has a purely magic interface. Now, at least.

Anyway, this picture is wholly uncanon, as Lyn would never steal the tactician very far away from the army when the world is in jeopardy. And Lyn’s Legion ought to include Erk, Serra, Matthew, Rath, Wallace, Nils, Ninian, and Lucius, regardless of the fact that they joined after Sain and Wil coined the title. So… this picture is not very realistic, but… Ceniro is my squeezy! Or something. (*Ceniro leaves hastily*) I wonder where he’s going. Probably afraid for his life. Oh well.

Yay background!

Two more days of work! Actually, I was less tired at work yesterday. Just as tired walking home from it, though. I attribute all the energy to Vancouver and all the tiredness to not sleeping enough. It’s fixing, though! Really! I got lots of sleep last night.

zelacolav100This was some Flairé-insertion to something that you don’t get to find out what it is. Suffice to say that the fair damsel with the curly hair was being stubborn about something, and Flairé’s intervention didn’t mean much except for people to stare at his pretty face under his cloak (not that his cloak disguises him much from people… he’s still 7′ tall with a sword!) and gawp.

Text: F: I would be getting extremely angry if you weren’t so infinitesimally inconsequential.

Lady: Good heavens! You’re beautiful!

F: SO WHAT.

 

So… tired… lack of sleep catching up with me. Oh well. All set for tomorrow! Time to go!

Dreamed I was in a store like Toys R Us and I found a set of Fire Emblem action figures for $3 and also a Duplo figure of ‘Mark’ but I think it was actually Lance from Fire Emblem 6. Also beneath him was a figure for ‘Cenirin’, a rather futuristic tactician from FE 7. But the action figures were cool. They had Guy for sure, and Volug, and at least nine others.

This picture may not be very good, but the next four will be fabulous.

Othello and artwork and rabbits, oh wow!

Filed under: Random blog posts — Illinia @ 9:45 pm

Well, I got back from Vancouver a couple hours ago… I should be in bed, catching up on sleep, but I wanted to post this first before I forgot any of it.

6:00 AM, Thursday: I got up and was on the bus and got to the ferry in time for the 9:00 ferry and then I ran into Claire B. on the other end, who’s going to UBC for school this year, and then I took the bus to Granville/Broadway and made it to Bard on the Beach without getting lost. At all. Except once when I wasn’t quite sure where I was but I knew what direction to go in so that doesn’t count. And then I found one friend (Organist) under a tree reading a book, and then a few minutes later the other friend (L) found us, and everything was HAPPY. Then we went for lunch for three hours and they looked at the art in my Yellow Sketchbook #2, including the picture I drew on the ferry-ride over (a possible cover for a possible comic about The Tactician and the Jewel including a pose of Ceniro looking angry of all things - I thought he didn’t do that until he met Nergal? Oh well.) and they somehow liked all of them, even and especially one of the ones I like least. And they say I draw horses well. Just wait until I learn how to draw! : D

Then we met up with L’s boyfriend and we went for supper at the Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. and they have good pizza, although I think there was cilantro in the pesto, which is not an ingredient I’m familiar with in pesto. (basil, garlic, pinenuts?) But the rest of it was super tasty. Then we went to Bard on the Beach and watched Othello, and I made my seat nametag to be Yolash Jennifer Bailang (apparently ‘white wave’, the meaning of Jennifer, is Bailang in Chinese. L told me at lunch. Awesome, and pretty.) So I’m not sure what any of the other patrons thought, but I don’t care. I’m disappointed that they didn’t have any of the little script books that Mom has a collection of, because we don’t have Othello yet… but that’s okay. I cried soooooooo hard at the end, what with everyone dying and all. And Iago was so EVIL! The actors were really really good. I’m so glad Organist suggested it.

Then we got on a bus, and waited 40 minutes for the second one, and then said goodbye to Organist, and then managed to make it to L’s house at 1:30 in the morning. So I slept well. L and I got up at 11 next morning, and her mom made brunch for us and it was so tasty! And I was stuffed afterwards, and L kept offering me grapes. Then we listened to the Durufle and she loved it, and then we all showed each other artwork (her mom paints and does pastels, and her older sister does pro-quality anime fanart) and then we went to the mansion house of one of her friends and saw two adorable rabbits, Arrow and Tootsie, and L drove a big car all by herself all the way there and back. Then I came back home.

I started to draw a second picture on the ferry ride back, but it’s not done yet. I shall amend that… tomorrow night. Because I’m going to bed now and tomorrow morning I have to clean the house get up in time for work. But I can say that Marteth is being a jerk and being hard to draw. He looks like Menad. Pickles.

And L and I made plans to go running during the school year, and to visit the Royal BC Museum before their big British Treasures exhibit leaves, and she will critique The Tacitian and the Jewel, and I decided I should use my super-mini sketchbook to practice realism for five minutes every day, and when I came back home I was surprised at how much it looked the same as when I left.

Can’t wait for school! But we shall have to do this again. Vancouver is intriguing. G’night, folks!

The Matrix Triumvirate

marthsupericon I watched The Matrix for the first time just before this picture with my friend lx, and he said to me in the middle of it: “I like Neo’s coat. Get me Neo’s coat, Jen.”

So I did. Except it was in a picture. And chibified. Eee, chibified lx is cute. Also included are N as Morpheus, since he’s ‘older’ than us, and I’m Trin because I’m a girl. Also I like her shiny shiny leather vinyl spandex? clothing stuff. The Triumvirate part comes from an idea of lx’s, that we three should be a composing triumvirate, especially after the part where Christopher said he prays nightly that we should become composers.

I might yet become a composer. Just not full time, and not at UVic. So that dream should not be wholly abandoned. : P

That’s a rifle I’m holding demurely behind my back.
