Zela dance

Trying to be swirly, and has too much hair.

Trying to be swirly, and has too much hair.

So I gave up on yesterday’s picture and drew Zela instead. In her long dress. I’m not sure if I’m okay with it or if I hate it. It’s not very good, but then I look at it in a different way and think it’s okay. Whatever. I should do some colour art some of these days.

Cloud Dance

I so rule, guys.

I so rule, guys.

Eeek! Sorry, guys. I know there are pictures to put up and guess what happened instead.

I bought Sims 3 and SSBBrawl on Friday. Now I am broke and highly entertained.

Anyway, this picture is of Gullac, which is pretty clear, a quick scribbly sketch of him dancing on a cliff beside a tree in boots and a wrinkly loose tunic. I think maybe his hips are a little too girly here. But, you know. It’s Gullac. He’s one of those kalmaei who loooves confusing people.

The Super Smash Bros. Brawl game is really fabulous. My brother and I got really really excited yesterday when we were playing Story Mode and our favourite characters started showing up gradually. We are 15% of the way through and we played for two hours. Yum! …Marth is delicious. Deliciously awesome, that is. (omigosh, he’s even faster than before, and hits harder, too! and he has at least one new move! and he still speaks in Japanese! and the cutscene with Meta Knight is super fantastic!)

I Totally Dare You To Dance

I *totally* dare you to dance. Like, right now. DO ET! XD

Oooh, it’s a painting! Not Photoshop, but Corel Painter. I was messing around with it, trying to see if I could get it to work. I think I did. In a rudimentary fashion, anyway.

One new thing I tried was highlighting from two different light sources. Well, that’s rather fancy talk for what I really did. I just highlighted from a neutral light source, then applied the blue layer and added orange highlight on one side – for the fire – and white on the other – for the moon. It’s a little bit too subtle but too much looked really bad.

The attitude turned out pretty good, though.

I painted this while listening to The Kilforna Set from the Chieftains Album Water in the Well. Great tunes!

Esgalwen: Caribbean Blue

So all the world goes round and round/with all you ever knew...

Esgalwen! Small, quite anime-faced, but very cute all the same. Slim, with long black hair, and a playful glance back, this is how her husband first saw her, dancing at one of those famous parties in Mirkwood once. Though I don’t think she looked quite this young. Anyway. No shoes! Oh yeah, and she’s dancing to the Enya song Carribean Blue which is very dancable. It’s in 3/4.

So I’m happy with this picture. Yay!

Yesterday one of the girls at work gave me four cinnamon buns (I asked for them) and she wrapped them all in different coloured paper. I guess she was as bored as I was. Still, I appreciate it!

Marquez Danzon #2

Don't ever let your feet stop moving, and lilt like you mean it!

Don’t ever let your feet stop moving, and lilt like you mean it!

This picture was inspired by the ever-popular Danzon #2 by a certain composer named Marquez. It is fantastic and should be danced to the world over. It’s so fabulous Flairé and Flaria danced to it and I tried to draw their halting, lilting, sometimes (in Flairé’s case, anyway,) twitchy dance movements or, as here, gliding, lilting, whirling, intricate dance movements.

Sothe’s Victory Dance

"And now," Sothe informed them, "my victory dance."

“And now,” Sothe informed them, “my victory dance.”

This is Sothe from Fire Emblem 9, but I was inspired to draw this picture because of a clever little piece of fanfiction called One-Stringed Harp. Here, Sothe does his victory dance. “Thief Rules” apply. An amusing story, but with an apocapyptic climax. Woot.

There’s actually blood where there shouldn’t be.
