This is Gilglin, the ‘firebrand’ of the group, as denoted by his shield. Actually, just kidding. He’s quite cool, though he can get a bit excited. He likes sports, whatever kinds of sports elves have…
I like the way I did the flames on his shield and his helmet. It’s Tamiya red ink over silver. Turned out very well.
Er… I had stuff to say, but I’ve forgotten it. I’ve obtained Tsubasa Vol. 4 at last, but I haven’t read it yet. This afternoon has a concert I’m going to, a masterclass for Kevin, and baseball and hockey for Dad. I will be playing Twilight Princess during the time that Kevin is out, so that I don’t interfere with anything.
I found out how to put my MD player on random! I was getting a bit bored of the predictable line-up of my Studio Ghibli/Tsubasa Future Soundscape II/Alan Parsons Project (the best of)/Legend of Zelda. I wasn’t nearly bored of the songs, but the order was getting tiring. And last night, I found out that my MD player is psychic! I decided that I’d wait for Time Goes By (Japanese version), and then maybe a Legend of Zelda piece (it’s called Medley, but it’s not…) but in between, if it played Sophie’s Waltz from Howl’s Moving Castle, and Storm and Fire from Tsubasa, I wouldn’t skip past them to find the ones I wanted.
It played, in order, Time Goes By, Sophie’s Waltz, Storm and Fire, and Medley!!! I can’t believe it!
Ugh… today is, by my calendar, the 10th. I’m getting way behind, and the bad news (for you guys) is that I’m going under a rock to study and won’t come out until after the weekend of the 21st/22nd. No pictures, no journals, no Timeless Ocarina -
Link: Hooray!
- no random blathering -
Flairé: Hooray!
- and no more strange people leaning over my mental shoulder and saying stuff to you.
Ceniro: Excellent.
I’m studying math, as I said before, and also I have to audition and apply for scholarships and get ready for concerts, which are all coming up faster than a brick at my head. Or a bird on a window (that happened to the kitchen window with a robin the other day). Or time travel. Didn’t I just have two piano lessons yesterday? No? One was a week ago, and the other was a week before that? Wow! Time is flying like a rocket powered frisbee! My metaphors and similes are spontaneous and terrible today!
So I’m pretty swamped, and I’m going to be about as busy as Ilyana on steriods, I guess, since I don’t have the stamina of someone like Lucia or Mia. Or Link. Yeah. And since my math teacher, it turns out, didn’t get three of my module end tests, I have to do them again tomorrow. -_-7
New lame episodes of Skyland have been on! The only reason why I watch is because Mahad is handsome and Cortez is cool! (nifty hand-to-hand lightfight in the last one, plus Hyperion maneuvers) Too bad for North American TV that I’m currently obsessing over…… T ReSERVoir Chronicle… Vol. 4 is mine… hyuu…
So, goodbye for now. Check back in two weeks, and I will start updating again then and will try to get caught up soon after. Have a nice day!
P.S. Ilyana = skinny but hungry person with no energy. Good with thunder spells, though…
Lucia = beautiful, graceful noblewoman with a very sharp sword but gentle aspect.
Mia = perky girl with another sharp sword. Chipper. Yeah.
All from Fire Emblem 9.
Silros up today! Silros is a poet, because he has heart jewels everywhere. Yes, that makes a lot of sense (sarcasm). Anyway, um, yeah. He’s a poet. That’s just his entire life, except of course for chopping up bad guys in the cavalry. He also is friends with Falamir, a bit, and he’s the other guy who’s always in the front rank (on Elfin’s right).
This is Falamir, who rides on Turmith’s left and therefore is usually the most visible of the group. His name means ‘surf jewel’. I like the silver moon on his shield. I had some fun figuring out who would get which heraldry, and I’m not fond of mix-and-match, so Falamir also has the moon-and-three-tears helm decoration and armour with a moon on it. I also covered a page in one of my larger, rougher sketchbooks with colour ideas. You can see the blue-goop-tack stuff (normally used for holding paper on walls) I used to keep his shield on. -_-7 They’re all held on that way, all the shields, and the riders to the horses too. There’s a gem on each left wrist that I felt reluctanct to cover up permanently with the shield, so instead we get goop. Meh. And I messed up the paint on the jewels on his helm decoration… they overlap the gold rims too much.
Elfinwë! Originally called Elfin, but with we added to make the bilingual pun less obvious. That means Star Hair, and we is just an emphasis, I think. I need to go back and read that paragraph again…
More Turmith today. I have just about nothing to say except that I’m very busy, so I’m not going to say very much. Isn’t he cool? Love the shield. It’s a bit of a hassle preventing it from getting dented. Eärfaroth is the only one with a white jewel on the forehead of his harness.
