linksadicon So. Yeah. The Silver Helms charge and the men-at-arms run away. Surprising, that. There are five of them, I just didn’t draw two because they wouldn’t fit on my silly road. That isn’t runes on Elfin’s sword, either – it’s blood. I wonder if I actually killed some guys or if they just ran away. I wouldn’t be surprised. : P

And yeah, mages are magey… not much to say there. Damsel’s head is squished. Not a very interesting page. Sorry. Next page is even less interesting!

Check back tomorrow to see what the blue-eyed commander has been up to! : P

I keep playing games against my brother and losing. It’s a little annoying, except when the battles are short. Also I draw faces all the same, which is even more annoying because it seems to take a lot of effort just to get them looking good and all the same. It must be even harder to get them looking right and all different! Whoa… mind-bender. But I drew a lot of faces yesterday, and I’m happy with most of them aside from the ‘all looking the same’ thing.

I’m still addicted to writing my story TTatJ, although it has hit sort of a brick wall in terms of imagination… I keep hammering at the last scenes in Chapter 5 but they all sound stupid. OH WELL CHAPTER 6 HERE I COME. Let’s see if anyone gets killed yet! …Btw, anybody want to volunteer as proofreaders? To give me comments and critique and suggestions on how to make it less stupid? Hey, it has an original plot and 80% original characters!

I’m going to go practice SSBM after I get cleaned up from my run. We’re missing a Kirby Smash trophy! How did that happen!?!? Or piano. Or I’ll try drawing Link again and add a few kalmaei for kicks. I really need a new sketchbook. I have about six pages left! All of a sudden! O_O7

Okay, I got the Kirby Smash trophy, got a few more Marth trophies, finished Chapter 5, and was left to my own devices for a couple hours, so I’m feeling chipper again. Huzzah! I lost the Warhammer battle today, as well, but I found a 20-use free GIF animator and I made a short (1M) animation of one of my friends smiling creepily because he does that. <_<   >_>

I keep editing this post. My bad.

aiwelossnowicon Yeah. One survivor. One scout made it through the Bretonnian phase. Fabulous. Not much you can do with one scout, even with their Ballistic Skill of 4. And yeah, I am terrible at drawing cornfields. Not sure why the crow died in panel one as well as its victim. The building-y thing is that blue-roofed barn that pops up in a lot of Warhammer things, though I think I fancied it up for purposes of this picture. Let’s see if I can find it.

Here it is.

Check back tomorrow to find out… what happens in the next turn. Exciting, I know. But it has a picture of the mage!

I am so addicted to writing The Tactician and the Jewel. I stare at it for five minutes and then I write a paragraph and then I read it through again and add another paragraph. It’s hard getting everyone to do stuff and be interesting and be in character! I did jump ahead and add a climactic scene in Chapter 6 because it was hanging over me and I thought I should get it down before I forgot it. I should put the one in Chapter 7 sometime before I change it beyond all recognition. Well, I think I’m about halfway through Chapter 5. They’ve taken shelter from the snowstorm. Now the hero is going to slip and hit his head. Because he’s just that unlucky. I mean, everyone else gets hurt, why should he escape? And how the heck is the boss going to show up? I have no idea whatsoever how this chapter is going to end. Exciting!

I WENT FOR A RUN THIS MORNING!! I’m pretty proud of myself, since I haven’t gone in, what, a month? I went at about 9:00, which was rather late… if I had gone at 7:00 like I planned it would have been much cooler. But I stayed up until 11:00 last night writing TTatJ, so I slept instead. Oh well. Better luck tomorrow, since I don’t work today! I do, however, need to play a tiny Warhammer battle with my brother. Pickles. Go go Celebtholi!

I lost miserably.

He’s also asked me about playing A Lord of Bretonnia, but for some reason that really doesn’t appeal to me. It looks interesting… and then you get the Lord’s Tax, season after season, phrased either all the same or all the differently same, whichever sort of scribe you are. It got really boring for me the last time we played. Fortunately, he seems to have begun playing it solo – without me, that is. Which makes me happy.

I drew another picture of Ceniro which came out as good as my expectations yesterday. I drew a certain other character entirely from memory, and he came out pretty well! Though he looks more girly than usual. And there’s a background! …I want Photoshop 5.

I learned how to play Planxty George Brabazon (The Chieftains, from their CD ‘Water in the Well’) yesterday at work using the power of my mind. Well, no, but it played in my head over and over and I could hum it, so when I got home I got out my violin and I played it. Not perfectly, but I played all the right notes without too many mistakes.

By the way, the latest page of No Need for Bushido is sugary sweet and makes me squeal happily. Oh, Cho. Shame on you. :)

Lots of bread and cinnamon buns in the house! Glee. Also my favourite CDs on my iPod on random. More glee!

esgalwenavatar And so my brand new Shadow Warrior scouts who are more than half LotR models were discovered, and immediately became the target of all ranged Bretonnian attacks. I was trying to get the Bretonnian damsel to look psychotic in the second frame and sexy-evil in the last frame, but it didn’t work too well. And there’s supposed to be a ton more corn in the first panel. The Bret soldier doesn’t look too bad, actually. All the elves have short legs, though.

Check back tomorrow to see how many casualties I had! (hint – I think I started with 9 Shadow Warriors)

I forgot to say that the other day we finally got the last support in Fire Emblem 8. It was Seth-Cormag A, which we had never gotten before because in my first game I supported Seth-Eirika A, and then Kevin’s game he supported Cormag with someone to A. So here is the short version:

Seth: Cormag, I’ve noticed you’re awesome. Want to join my knights?

Cormag: No wai.

Seth: I knew it!

Cormag: But we can hang out sometime.

Seth: Yay!

This is not particularly exciting, because it’s so darned easy to get supports in FE8 due to all the Towers of Valni and such. (play three levels, support your characters through each one, and then don’t save and start again with other supports.) Just wait until I get 100% supports in FE7! That will be a trick, I assure you.

Started Tactician and the Jewel Chapter 5. Should be interesting because there’s a snowstorm. Is that why I’ve been listening to Christmas music? Oh, well, I can’t get Safety Dance out of my head again, (the jester has a Men Without Hats shirt!) and I’ve been listening to a lot of Charles Trenet, and Ash Grove is back in my head again (but not the annoying Rimmer March, thank goodness) and I suddenly had the urge to listen to the Bonzo Dog Band (hunting tigers out in Indiyah…)

I’m getting this urge to go running again… I can’t today, as I didn’t get up in time to go before work (10 hours of sleep, booyah) but it’s nice and cool in the mornings now, and I have those new shoes I’ve only used once, and I am trying to get up at 7:00 in the morning and it shouldn’t be too hard as long as I don’t stay up past 10:00 working on Tactician and the Jewel. Or Ephraim. I’m doing both at the same time and boy is it confusing.

I drew a picture of Zela and Flaria yesterday. I suddenly realized: I only ever draw Flaria with her elder brother. She has other family members, but she seems isolated from them! So I drew a picture of ‘mother and daughter’. I’m not sure it came out as such, but the two in the picture look good. Especially Zela. It’s been a little while since I’ve drawn her and it’s always nice to draw someone I haven’t drawn in a while… Flaria did not come out so well for whatever reason. Well, you’ll see it when it’s posted. Maybe I should do another one. Yeah! And then one of Flairé and Flaer!

Can you believe it, my brother thought Zela and Flairé were Zela and Flaer?

Flairé: Married to my mother? Ew.

rinakoavatar This page finally cuts back to Falamir and his mysterious sense of sight, informing his captain Elfin of what he saw (Elfin is so cute!). Then the Bretonnian Men-at-arms hiding in the ‘cornfield’ wised up to it too. The Bretonnian damsel cast the crow spell, that has flocks of crows attack a unit, but the only one even hit was Silros and as you can see it just bounced comically off his helmet. Then my mage cast Uranon’s Thundebolt on the charging knights, which did a little better. …I need to draw you a map to show what the battlefield looked like. Drat.

Check back tomorrow to see the villainess for the first time!

linksadicon This page was just an excuse to draw Elfin, really. As you may have noticed, he’s really handsome. So, other than that, it… doesn’t do anything. Sorry. I meant it to introduce the units, and give Teraluin some more character, but in the end it was pretty useless… oh wait, Falamir sees something. That’s really important! Remember that! Except then there’s a rather pointless cut to the blue-eyed commander and Falamir’s helmet changes design between panels. Oh, whatever.

I think this may have been the first battle my spearmen took part in.

Check back tomorrow to see if Falamir’s helmet changes anymore! Also to see what he saw, if anything!

I’m a-going to Vancouver in two weeks! So excited! I can’t wait to see those Vancouver people. And Othello. Which will make me cry but whatever it’s Shakespeare.

I actually got an adequate amount of sleep last night because I went to bed three hours earlier than usual. Let’s see if that helps!
