I felt like posting something! The only thing I have left to do today is practice (and study Latin and play Guild Wars - Kessex Peak is still waiting!) so I decided to put SOMETHING UP. Especially since I’m bored and I’ve been listening to Kalmaeirin playlists on my iTunes for the last two hours while I wrote my Linguistics paper for this week.

Soooo… this is the first picture I drew with Corel Painter, with the pencil tool and my glorious tablet, and it is of Aur from Dreigiau. It’s not very good, so I didn’t send it to Aywren. I mean, it’s better than the last picture of Aur I drew. But still not really good enough. Though I think it’s decent enough to be posted. The scribble of Link I did a few weeks ago, though… X P That will not be posted. Ugh.

I think I gave Aur too much eyelashes.

Cheers!

Aur the SOLDIER

Aur the SOLDIER (sorta)

Dec 18, ‘09

Um. Aur, of Dreigiau/Shimmer/Darkstar/Wayrift fame (though for the last two he’s called Chase), as a SOLDIER from Final Fantasy VII. I know Aywren doesn’t particularly care for FFVII, as she’s one of those who thinks the last great FF game was VI. But my brother loves FFVII: Crisis Core, and wanted to play a game based on it. So I was the player, he was the gamemaster, and I randomly picked to play as Aur because I think Aur is cool and it meant I didn’t have to think up a brand new person and I didn’t have to play as one of my pre-existing characters, which would have made him groan in exasperation. And while we were playing I drew a picture.

Aur the SOLDIER was a young, taciturn, 3rd-class SOLDIER in training for Shin-Ra. After stopping a traitor Turk from sabotaging a reactor, he went to Wutai in a helicopter to investigate who was behind the traitor.

He never made it. Shot down by hidden guns in the middle of nowhere, his grunt soldiers all killed in the crash, he approached a small cottage only to find it was a hidden stronghold of the enemy. He is about to venture down to the lower levels of this secret military research facility…

The funniest part would be this exchange.

Aur’s Phone: *ring ring*

Aur: Aur here.

Aur’s Overseer: So you’ve captured the traitor? Good. Bring him back to Dennis, the 1st-class SOLDIER in your area.

Aur: Understood. *hangs up*

Aur’s Phone: *ring ring*

Aur’s Overseer: Don’t ever hang up on me before I’m done again. And talk to Dennis for further instructions.

Aur: … |: (

 

Last night I dreeeeaaaaaamed… that I saw winged cats in the kitchen. They were cute.

There was also a bit wherin I was registranting for Organist again - except that his music was something like one line (three staves still, of course) with whole notes and half notes and quarter notes in large print. … Anyway, he played it successfully : P and then we sang the Kyrie from Mozart’s Requiem and there was suddenly a large choir with us.

Then I went outside and there was someone playing flute so I took off my coat and my (organ! : O ) shoes and danced in the rain until I fell down and hurt myself. Then Organist came back and we talked about Liszt.

This was all in the dream. No kidding. If Organist had really been around here we would probably have sung Duruflé’s Kyrie. Either of them. Both of them. Whatever.

Organ crawl today! …I WAS going to say something else but I forgot it. Well, I could tell you that it’s pretty cool to listen to your own playing through a microphone. And I’ve started memorizing the Franck. And Flairé and Kellan adventured muchly in Guild Wars last night instead of doing Latin/French homework (respectively).

Oh well. Latin homework is easy.

Oh! I remember! I am planning to put up a couple screenshots from Guild Wars soon. This evening, perhaps.

Fanart for Aja’s contest! I did not win. But those who won definitely deserved it. And I’m pleased with this picture, so everything is as good as it can be!

I need to study clothes. Meh.

linkavStar Wars KOTOR II! Rise of the Sith Lards. This occurs on Nar Shadaa, the ‘bounty hunter city planet’. You remember that guy who claims the Ebon Hawk was his before Davik stole it prior to KOTOR I? And he runs off to the ship when you give it to him all light-sided-ly? Then he gets killed by the slavers who claim that landing platform and you have to slaughter them all (though their boss is really hard). Then my character, Selyn Tekeri, agonizes over the fact that she ’sent him to his death’, and Atton and Bao-Dur, my two main homeboys - I mean, party members, stand there, wanting to help but unable to really do much. Especially Atton, who loves her. (It was a tough call between Atton and Disciple… but it turns out that Disciple actually looks like an idiot in-game, as opposed to the screen-shots I saw before I played… whatever.)

Full story: Once upon a time, there was a Jedi Knight. I chose her to be a woman named Selyn Tekeri and to have pretty Asian hair. : D She’s the one in the middle of the top picture. She collects a band of adventurers around her to save the galaxy from the evil Sith, including sarcastic hot-shot pilot Atton Rand (think Han Solo but with a Blackjack addiction) who is the guy on the right. He’s also the romantic interest for the female lead. The guy on the left is another member of the group, a young Zabrak tech, with a wickedly cool mechanical left arm, named Bao-Dur (think Darth Maul, but really really nice and not covered in silly tattoos). All these people happen to be Force-Sensitive (translation: potential Jedi) but you don’t find that out until later. Anyway, Selyn and her merry band head to a planet full of nasty people, like gangs and slavers and Hutts and bounty-hunters and stuff. She lands her ship, the Ebon Hawk (think Millenium Falcon but a lot prettier : P ) on a certain landing platform that is claimed by some slavers, who capture the ship while Selyn is out doing good among the NPCs. One NPC approaches her and claims that the Ebon Hawk used to belong to him. After some debating, Selyn does the goody-two-shoes thing and gives it to him, despite Atton’s grumbles (”how can I be a pilot if I don’t have a ship?”). Later, she returns to find the ship overrun by slavers, destroys them all, and discovers that they killed the NPC too. So she is sad because she feels responsible.

Then I drew a lightswitch to practice realism. The lightswitch itself came out well. The stuff behind it didn’t. The the horizontal stripey bits are the blinds on the door behind.

‘Twas a good day. I went to the Colin Tilney/Martin Bonham/Christi Meyers playing Haydn Trios concert. It was most excellent! I loved the last movement of the last one, and the first movement of the first one, and also the Turkish Rondo of the Hummel in the middle. I got to sit next to an old friend, whom I haven’t really spoken to since last year yet. Now I have! Yay! Earlier in the day I had many rehearsals, most of which went well.

The Mulet is improving greatly. Thank goodness. I just need to get that annoying spot on page 5 and then I can start trying to speed up the middle three pages to match the opening/end.

ranaavatar2Well! Here we are, back to a normal schedule. This odd young lady is named Artemis Delin (pronounced de Lin), and she is, I believe, a Star Wars character. I’d been watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars CG TV show, and Rex is awesome and I was a total fangirl. I still am a fangirl, but I’m not obsessing over his awesomeness anymore. So Artie is the OC I made for him. I believe she’s from Christophsis, that glass-planet city place. And ends up on Coruscant, evacuated from the battles. But not before her life is saved by CC-7567. : P And that’s basically all you need to know about that. Curvy girl, huh? Different from what I usually do. And her hair is supposed to be shiny, though I forget whether it’s supposed to be black or blue. And she’s supposed to be giving a thumbs up, but it didn’t turn out quite right.

Tomorrow (which will probably not happen until after salsa) you get a picture of Deerfleet. It’s not very good. Meh.

It’s been an interesting week. Did I mention I watched most of My Fair Lady with my brother? I watched as much of the Freddie stuff as I could (go go Jeremy Brett). I found out that Shaw (the original author of the original play, Pygmalion) said that Freddie and Eliza married at the end and started a flower shop. Huzzah! I don’t like Higgins much at all at all. What an uncomprehending, egotistical jerk.

But that’s all beside the point. I’m going to go practice organ now, because I must become better at it! I’m also looking forward to supper. It seems to involve focacia bread (which was selected at random to become Ceniro’s favourite food - I don’t know about absolute favourite anymore, but he certainly enjoys it). I bought a lovely new charcoal grey UVic sweater today; this is my third-year sweater. I wonder what my fourth-year sweater will look like? I also have forest green (first year) and lavender (second year). Both have hoods, which this one does not. It does have an awesome collar, though.

Muleeeeet!
