          Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.

          Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)

           Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.

           Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.

           Jen: That’s right!

Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.

So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.

Hey, I’m in a guild in Guild Wars! This is pretty exciting news. I was going to try and find the Wayrifters, but this other group found me first. : P They’re a pretty friendly bunch, especially the kind lv20 Elementalist who recruited me. I was playing Zela, who had just gotten to Post-Searing Ascalon, and I’d done maybe two quests and was regrouping at the Abbey/Sanitorium place when this guy just walked up to me and started talking to me. Heh. I took some convincing, too. I was going to make a guild for the Adhemlenei, if I didn’t join the Wayrifters (which I would have done), but who would join it? My poor brother has a guild of one. Go join his guild, all you nice rp-ing people who don’t have a guild yet! …I don’t remember the name of it, sorry. So, the upshot is that now all my chars have a cloak in black with crimson flames along the bottom edge and a silver phoenix spread across the back. Oh yeah, so after some hanging out with the elementalist and his warrior friend, the elementalist and I went for a walk up to Piken Square. I have to say it’s pretty easy to get around with three level 20s (he brought his heroes). I’m not sure how good it is for stat growth, but it’s very nice of these people to help me level and explore despite their having done it probably dozens of times before.

Will post screens later in the week. I have to get ready for Philosophy class now!

          Flaria: Hooray! You’re back safely!

          Flairé: Yes, indeed we are, sister! Do you have food? 

          Flaria: Oh, Flairé, just look at these rips and tears… Do you know how long it will take me to fix that?

          Flairé: But it’s only four! I can do it myself! D X

          Leslie: I’m so relieved, Jen.

          Flaria: You won’t do it right! (shoves Flairé towards the door) (Jalril: Master…)

          Jen: That’s good! It’s pretty darn cool to see you here, Leslie!

          Leslie: Yeah, I’m still confused about that too.

          Jen: Hey, over here! You too, Jal.

         Leslie: I just went to sleep in a practice room and then I woke up in a forest.

         Jen: Huh. I get here when I’m asleep too, but I’m not usually in a practice room. (Flaria: Hi, Jalril! <3 )

Eee! It’s a page! The wrapping-up begins! Flairé and Flaria fight about mending chores in the background while Leslie and Jen talk about more important things. And Jalril worries over his teacher, but in the end, follows Jen who is leading them to some good smells… No, it’s not a trap.

Lots of performing yesterday! I played Bédard’s Quatre Pieces en forme de Messe with my brother page turning, and I couldn’t have done it without him. It went pretty well considering I only started seriously learning the first and last movements last week. And as for the Roberto/Mary Wood Scholarship competition, well, I didn’t win, but I played really well and I think I came in second but I’m not sure because they could have announced the not-winners in any order. Anyway it was pretty suspenseful because they announced the winner last and my name was called second last.

So… now I have to start practicing the rest of the Beethoven, and lots and lots of organ. And I do that for two and a half weeks, and then I go to Provincials, and then I go to Ontario, and then I come home and learn lots of organ music and then finally start work on my fourth year rep. I don’t really feel like learning my fourth year rep. I’m afraid of it. But not really. I just don’t want to put the effort in to learning new stuff. Except for organ stuff, which I already know how it goes and I already love it. I am… maybe… emotionally involved in my old stuff I find it tiresome to disengage and redeposit emotional energy into new stuff? I dunno.

But I am going to be playing lots of Guild Wars. If anyone wants to play with me, comment! I have one free character slot so if you’re a total beginner or want to make a new character I shall make one too and play with you! Or if you want to play with Flairé, he’s at the Aurora Glade mission. But romping around the countryside can be fun too.

Wednesday’s page is inked! Next week’s page is being sketched! I’m actually getting ahead! I’d like to get done soon so I can look at new projects. Like the Sculpey figure project. Ooh, I’m looking forward to that one.

Guild Wars Screendump

« ... »
Filed under: Miscellaneous — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Illinia @ 1:00 am

Eee! I been playing Guild Wars!  I also found out how to take pictures without the… extra screen clutter! I think I may be taking some screenshots of very ordinary things. But they’re still cool to me, and some of you don’t play Guild Wars, so I think it’s forgivable.

So, since last time, here’s what we’ve been up to.

gilwadump3kellanface My brother got a new helmet he’s very happy with. Kehheh.

gilwadump3spider I hate this area of Kryta, but I love this spiderweb with accompanying spider. Isn’t that cool? …No, it’s not going to get me.

gilwadump3pig In keeping with the animal theme of this post, here is a happy pig. : D

gilwadump3flairedead If you ever wanted to know what Flairé looks like dead, here you are. : P Pretty pale, isn’t he?

gilwadump3sunset I just love the graphics in this game. They are fantastic without taking up too much processing power. (still hadn’t figured out how to get rid of screen clutter) So, just a group shot watching the sunset knee deep in water by a waterfall!

gilwadump3waterfall ’Nother group shot by a waterfall! This is the sort of shot that posters are made of. My fire imp is misbehaving, though. : ) I really like this picture.

gilwadump3flaire Flairé, at Fisherman’s Haven, sitting on the end of the dock with all the cool baskets and boxes. I could see this being a graphic somewhere, too.

gilwadump3baynproto Messing around with the one empty character slot I have, and this would be a prototype of Bayn! If he was a Mesmer. Which he very well might be. But not yet. And he wouldn’t be wearing purple. It could also be Lyrestan, come to think of it…

gilwadump3esgalwenproto Prototype of Esgalwen! Ranger class. Too bad you can’t get black hair in Ranger models. Also wouldn’t be wearing purple.

gilwadump3waterfall2 Another inspiring group shot by a waterfall. What is it with waterfalls? This is in The Falls area right in the very West of Kryta, and as you can see there are still Wind Riders hanging around in the back of the shot. Man, those things were annoying. Killed me about five times at the actual The Falls (not here). Which is a level 1 object for some reason. Why? Oh, and this was about the point when I discovered “Shift+PrtSc” makes lovely pictures.

gilwadump3flaireorion Flairé and Orion, buddies! Yeah! …I’d also see this as a graphic somewhere. Like a bookmark or something. It’s colourful and sparkly.

gilwadump3crabsoup Crab soup cooking on a beach in Lion’s Arch. Did I mention how much I love the detail in this game? Always something new and quirky waiting to be found everywhere!

gilwadump3flairetall Tall Flairé is tall. In case you didn’t already know. That guy seems kind of disgruntled. Oh, so I visited the Menagerie! And the collector in me wants to go out and fill it up with all the animals I can catch. But… then I’d have to give up Rithil, my Melandru’s Stalker (exotic mountain lion) and I don’t quite want to do that yet… What Flairé really wants is a Raven. But those can only be found in Eye of the North. I’ll get there eventually. But first, hang on to Rithil, then let her go when I feel it’s appropriate… then catch all the critters I can and release them at the Menagerie! Then get a Raven and train it until it is awesome.

gilwadump3froggilwadump3crab Also from the menagerie! Not catchable animals, but soooo cool and also cute nonetheless! And they move really nicely!

Sunday’s comic page is in colouring mode, so it should be on time (for once). My Beethoven is really getting good, but the Dutilleux… leaves something to be desired in the final variation. And the Duruflé… I listened to the Prelude again yesterday, and it is FAST. Omigosh. I might have to work a little harder on this. I also need to know when I’m playing the Bédard on Saturday. So much music! So much art! So much videogaming! (I finished Phantom Hourglass, by the way. The stupid Ghost Ship is a huge pain because its ‘canonballs’ are so hard to target. And I would like, eventually, a game in which Tetra kicks butt in her own right, instead of being (forgivably) comatose all the time. Linebeck ended up pretty cool, though. Anyway, on to Ephraim’s Story!)

Also, I miss my friends. I get to see one on Monday, though!

Too Many Guild Wars Screenshots

gilwatam1lilies

Okay, folks, it’s that time of something again when I dump a whole bunch of pretty pictures I didn’t really make on you. : P First is Tam at that lovely lovely waterlily pool in the southwestern Catacombs – by the devourers on the inside, and vaguely near Orion on the outside. So pretty! Tam is my Elementalist character who is part warrior – hence the sword and shield outfit. But I really meant to make him half Paragon so he could use a spear to effect. Meh. Perhaps that will change. But the blue hair stays. X D

Just to make clear, this picture is from underground (with a cracked ceiling, admittedly).

gilwatam2kellan

Tam and my brother’s main, Kellan Dunns, goofing around in the back of the mountains.

gilwaflaire11

One of Flairé’s new coats, with a nice red dye job. Yay! New gloves, too. Scaley.

gilwagullac1

Say hello to one of my other alts, Gullac. This character has been deleted until I unlock the Assassin class so he can use daggers. He’s a Necromancer as a first class, though, because it has more appropriate hair. And posture. And faces. Though his hair could be a shade darker.

gilwatam3sword

Tam, dynamically using that sword of his. He won. Even though he was fighting four bandits and a wolf.

gilwabearorion

This picture is because I’m an Orion fangirl because there’s a bear’s face on the back of the bear!!! 8 O

Do you see it? Do you see it?

gilwatam4excata

Tam, standing in that particular spot in Green Hills County where you can look into the Catacombs. I find that so very very cool, because if you go into the Catacombs and stand on that bridge, you can look back out. Whee! Oh, and it’s pretty, too.

gilwasnowman

A melted snowman near the forges in Lion’s Arch. With one of Flairé’s footprints.

gilwagullac2

Gullac, sittin’ on the stairs… in the Catacombs… bein’ an emo little boy…

Gullac should not be emo. o_O7

gilwagullac3

This looks cute somehow. (the /stand animation)

gilwazela2adriano

Zela (helmet on : P) and Adriano (my brother’s alt) goofing off while waiting for Orion to head up to Foible’s Fair to see his girlfriend Ralena. I’m playing violin, he’s playing… guitar. Neither very well. : P

gilwaflaire12drunk

Flairé gave in to the pestering of his friend Kellan 8 O and had a few eggnogs in Ascalon. Obviously Kellan is still in the giddy stages while Flairé is already feeling the effects. Heh. …Why is normal eggnog alcoholic?

gilwaadriano1

Showing Adriano the Wise’s true height (short). He’s based off a gnomish monk character for a verbal roleplay we did once and his most popular spell was Blind (“The guy taps you on the shoulder.” “Adriano casts Blind!!” “… For the fifteenth time?” “Yes!!!”)

What is little known is that he goes bald underwater… true story. In Guild Wars, I mean.

gilwaflaire13

Flairé’s current new coat (in a fetching shade of green where possible), as he is blowing up bad guys on one of those far west Krytan story missions in the moonlight. No tubas, though. Oh, and I got his leather pants dyed blue. I think they look nice. I also removed his creepy hunter mask to see what his mouth looked like while talking in cutscenes. …It’s okay, I guess. I dunno. I’ll have to see more.

Organ crawl was great, today. I learned all about the digital side of the organ, which was a complete mystery to me before. You should all come to the RCCO convention in July!!! It’ll be a party!!! …Actually the convention itself is rather expensive. Come to the concerts. Unless you’re an organist. : )
