pentlouiseiconFlairé and Fai would get along well together, don’t you think?

I cannot draw Kurogane. Nope, doesn’t work. Anyway, him and Mokona were over on the side so I moved them where you would see them.

A few things of interest… I went to the Chieftains concert last Friday! It was fantastic! They had lots of tap dancers, including a group that worked with Via Choralis once. Yaaay Chieftains! I love Celtic harp… and pennywhistle… and bodhran… and bagpipes (local pipe band ftw)… and Kevin Conaff’s voice… (cough ^_^;;7).

Next note! Aja finished some commissions I commissioned her to commission. Is that enough use of the word commission? I think so… Anyway, it turned out great. Yay Milo and Trixie! They are hilarious. Dangerous when consumed in large quantities. I could hug them. KevinT is now officially a bishounen. And Aja’s comment is funny. ^_^7

Lastly, I discovered a comic called No Need for Bushido! which is a fantastic webcomic about feudal Japan, involving a headstrong princess, a naive samurai, a Taoist priest with the most absurd sayings (yep, he’s mai favourite), and a generic angry guy with a huge sword. Like, HUGE. Like ten metres long. So even though I’m cutting back on the webcomics, this one makes my list ’cause of its sheer hilarious greatness. And lots and lots of content besides story, too! Oh, dear. It seems Brother Cho’s silliness won out over Yori’s bishounenity for banner choosing. Oh, well, Cho’s expression is more indicative of the comic’s mood in general, and Yori, though completely bishie to the max, didn’t look like his usual self! That is, clueless. ^_^7

Oh, and my brother’s making some Stronghold Crusader levels. Very difficult and story driven. He’s quite serious about it and plans to submit them to Stronghold Heaven, some sort of level sharing site.

cenhuglyniconI like Fai! He’s funny, and so very nice. I’m not sure how Link got in there, but I think he also started out as Fai.

And that’s about all I have to say about that. -_-7 I need to watch Tsubasa again.

I have a practice organ! Did I say that? No, I don’t think I did, because the last time I updated was three weeks ago… Anyway, I do have a practice organ! It is good for practicing! It is a Hammond RT3 and it has drawbars! I also have the Duruflé Suite to go with it! I’m so excited. Duruflé is AWESOME. Yup.

Sorry for the long wait! I am back now, and I’ll update more frequently than once every two months now.

Today’s picture is of Howl and Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle. I think this picture came out well; it feels more than two-dimensional. Of course, his face is completely off.

I thought I had a lot to say, but I don’t really… over the past two months, I failed to get into either a Performance major or a Composition major, I played well enough in Festival, I recorded my concerto, I obtained recordings of both Chorus concerts this year, I discovered Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Star Trek The Next Generation, and Bruce Lee, and I just picked 14 inchworms off of my little brother who went running down at the golf course. I also discovered that I don’t know where a certain file is, of a card I drew in November and scanned because even though I found it slightly embarrassing, I like to keep records of all my pictures. I’m also wavering between completely on top of things and so far sunk that I have no idea how to start recovering.

syaoranheadsiconOkay! This is Touya, drawn with the new expertise drawn from being given a manga-drawing book and Tsubasa Ch. Vol. 1 at the same time. Yay! His head came out quite well. The rest of him could need work, though the cloak is better than usual.

Oh, yeah, Joe Trio came and performed on Sunday! They were very good, of course, and they did a Peter Schikele version of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony that ended with – surprise, surprise! – the orchestra winning!

Note for Sunday: Too late to update properly; will do it next week if possible; very enjoyable family birthday party; too much Japanese food; good cake; lovely presents; hot chocolate with orange liquer. Good night.

carlnmarkiconFai! …not much else to say here, except this would be in a world where kimono-like clothes are acceptable (i.e. the world in the “weekend movie” thing?).

Art contest! Take a look! Deadline extended to Dec 24!
