Hi! This is a small, brightly coloured, neatly arranged sample of sketches that I accomplished at school or related to school, as these are on mini-flashcards. The blue and green ones are on Latin flashcards; the pink ones are when I decided to devote a whole pack of these to drawing - they come on a handy ring, even.

So! From the top is Flairé, asking if I’m going to put his name in Latin (Flaireus?) and then a random and really bad sketch of Fiora the pegasus knight from FE7, and then Zela, moody and broody as usual, with a list of descriptive terms on the back, which I shan’t list here as we know them already, then Rana (cover of part 2 of the Latin, with her name declined in singular), and then Tam is the cover of the random sketchies (he’s a little skinny, but I’m actually quite pleased with him!) and then a dramatic picture of Flaer (woooot luv ya buddy) and then Menad, smiling to show the dimples (a new development when I drew that) and with one of his two dogs, and then Bayn and Lyrestan to try to show the difference between them (fail), and then someone who could be Mathaning.

And then Joe the elf. Oh my.

I built my dream house in Sims3! There are no musical instruments besides the guitar, and I want to put an organ in, so I just put the biggest sound system they had and called it even. But you should see my brother’s ridiculous house. It’s… ridiculous. It’s five stories and he lives alone. The first floor and a half are all that are furnished at the moment. The bottom floor is for parties. So there’s a kitchen big enough to feed an army (appropriate, considering the guy is in the military). The cabinets cost a ridiculous amount alone. And he lives upstairs with his cheapo furniture scattered haphazardly across the unfinished space. He works one day a week as an astronaut and then paints the rest of the time.

I LOVE ORGAN in case you didn’t receive that sentiment yet. I had a lesson yesterday, and although the Duruflé sounded like crap the ending was pretty glorious crap. FULL ORGAN. Wow, I get an adrenaline rush just thinking about it. Also, the Alix Goolden organ has a working console. AWESOME.

I use too many caps.

untitleddanceravatarTwo pictures in one day? Huh? Well, they were both on the same page, so there. Two red-headed men propose to two greenish-bluish-tealish-turquoiseish-haired women, with predictable results. So, yeah. Seth and Eirika from Sacred Stones, from the chapter where Seth takes a spear through the shoulder in my story. Kent and Fiora from Blazing Sword, at the end somewhere. Kent is so hard to draw recognizably, and Fiora isn’t great either. I guess I just had to get the sap out of my system. That scribble in Seth’s tent? It’s his armour, I think. Except I cheated. (snark) ^_^7 Okay, I’m being random. Sorry. His coat was okay, though.

Tactically, Fiora rules (along with Florina, naturally).

Yes, they were drawn on the same page, but K&F at right angles to S&E. And as you can see, kissing is still not one of my strong points in drawing. I guess I have to watch more animated kissing movies or something.

Yesterday, after I posted, we did go to GW and got beaten up by a young guy with some nicely painted skellies, and Paul (the other one) invited me to challenge him some Thursday. I have to finish Link the Large and preferably my second bolt thrower, not to mention those cool Dragon Princes. Tuor has permission to pry the rubber tip thing off the unused toothbrush, so I can start painting his cloak. Now where did his cloak design go? So I’ll probably get around to fighting with Paul at the end of the summer or something. Oh, and I get lots of comments on the little white ceramic cat I keep in my figure case (lack of room on my display shelf, which admittedly is not organized properly even yet). Odd. I also have Dad’s Ogre board game turrets in there, and no one notices those. I guess the cat is large enough to notice.

I wish I’d based more of my guys with square bases… then I could use them. Well, I guess Elladan, Elrohir, and Radagast are fine for ‘display only’ (although E&E are not the greatest painted models, as you’ll see day-after-tomorrow) but Glorfindel I could have done with square. Hey, I have another blister of Glorfindels! I should take the nifty base off the one I already did, put a square base on that, and put the round one on the super-showcase model!

Nah.

Yesterday my brother got one of his evil moods and wouldn’t stop poking me until I let him use the computer (after his bedtime) for some ‘vitally urgent business’. -_-7

esgalwenavatarWe’ve had an Allen Parsons Project Lyndis’s Legion music band, now let’s have a Dire Straits Hector’s (insert ‘group of’ word that begins with H) music band! Dire Straits is one of our (my family’s) favourite bands. That’s Eliwood on bass, Hector on guitar and lead vocals, and Lyn on rhythm guitar. Wallace is the one on the drums and Sain has been demoted to keyboard, while Wil (who I had no confidence drawing, so I left him out) has been promoted to a grand piano. Fiora is there to add tambourine to the mix and promote gender equality since Lyn is there too - so it’s not a boy band! Matthew is the guest star on saxophone. Also I put Kent’s name over in the corner, so I think he’s actually supposed to be the bass guitar while Eliwood plays some other guitar.

Blah for hands. Anyhow, the title of this picture is Solid Rock, which is a Dire Straits song, but I always heard it as Sally Rock. Also I have no idea how to draw a drum set. I just stuck in random things. I’ve also changed the band line-up for this one… Now, as I imagine it, Sain is on drums and Kent is on keyboards. Or else Farina, but she’s a bit too scary to let in here, I think.

Sorry I missed so many days, but I had no time. Seriously.

Sangwine needs a hug!
