          Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.

          Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)

           Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.

           Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.

           Jen: That’s right!

Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.

So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.

Hey, I’m in a guild in Guild Wars! This is pretty exciting news. I was going to try and find the Wayrifters, but this other group found me first. : P They’re a pretty friendly bunch, especially the kind lv20 Elementalist who recruited me. I was playing Zela, who had just gotten to Post-Searing Ascalon, and I’d done maybe two quests and was regrouping at the Abbey/Sanitorium place when this guy just walked up to me and started talking to me. Heh. I took some convincing, too. I was going to make a guild for the Adhemlenei, if I didn’t join the Wayrifters (which I would have done), but who would join it? My poor brother has a guild of one. Go join his guild, all you nice rp-ing people who don’t have a guild yet! …I don’t remember the name of it, sorry. So, the upshot is that now all my chars have a cloak in black with crimson flames along the bottom edge and a silver phoenix spread across the back. Oh yeah, so after some hanging out with the elementalist and his warrior friend, the elementalist and I went for a walk up to Piken Square. I have to say it’s pretty easy to get around with three level 20s (he brought his heroes). I’m not sure how good it is for stat growth, but it’s very nice of these people to help me level and explore despite their having done it probably dozens of times before.

Will post screens later in the week. I have to get ready for Philosophy class now!

          Flaria: Hooray! You’re back safely!

          Flairé: Yes, indeed we are, sister! Do you have food? 

          Flaria: Oh, Flairé, just look at these rips and tears… Do you know how long it will take me to fix that?

          Flairé: But it’s only four! I can do it myself! D X

          Leslie: I’m so relieved, Jen.

          Flaria: You won’t do it right! (shoves Flairé towards the door) (Jalril: Master…)

          Jen: That’s good! It’s pretty darn cool to see you here, Leslie!

          Leslie: Yeah, I’m still confused about that too.

          Jen: Hey, over here! You too, Jal.

         Leslie: I just went to sleep in a practice room and then I woke up in a forest.

         Jen: Huh. I get here when I’m asleep too, but I’m not usually in a practice room. (Flaria: Hi, Jalril! <3 )

Eee! It’s a page! The wrapping-up begins! Flairé and Flaria fight about mending chores in the background while Leslie and Jen talk about more important things. And Jalril worries over his teacher, but in the end, follows Jen who is leading them to some good smells… No, it’s not a trap.

Lots of performing yesterday! I played Bédard’s Quatre Pieces en forme de Messe with my brother page turning, and I couldn’t have done it without him. It went pretty well considering I only started seriously learning the first and last movements last week. And as for the Roberto/Mary Wood Scholarship competition, well, I didn’t win, but I played really well and I think I came in second but I’m not sure because they could have announced the not-winners in any order. Anyway it was pretty suspenseful because they announced the winner last and my name was called second last.

So… now I have to start practicing the rest of the Beethoven, and lots and lots of organ. And I do that for two and a half weeks, and then I go to Provincials, and then I go to Ontario, and then I come home and learn lots of organ music and then finally start work on my fourth year rep. I don’t really feel like learning my fourth year rep. I’m afraid of it. But not really. I just don’t want to put the effort in to learning new stuff. Except for organ stuff, which I already know how it goes and I already love it. I am… maybe… emotionally involved in my old stuff I find it tiresome to disengage and redeposit emotional energy into new stuff? I dunno.

But I am going to be playing lots of Guild Wars. If anyone wants to play with me, comment! I have one free character slot so if you’re a total beginner or want to make a new character I shall make one too and play with you! Or if you want to play with Flairé, he’s at the Aurora Glade mission. But romping around the countryside can be fun too.

Wednesday’s page is inked! Next week’s page is being sketched! I’m actually getting ahead! I’d like to get done soon so I can look at new projects. Like the Sculpey figure project. Ooh, I’m looking forward to that one.

              Flairé: Flaria, be a sweetheart and grab me some travelling things, would you? I need to go look for Miss Leslie.

              Flaria: What’s happened?

              Flairé: The extremists have snatched her out from under my very nose. They’re an alert gang… I’ll make sure they’re not so alert after tonight… |: (

Hey, guys! Colour will be up later! Obligations now.

Dun dun dunnn! : D

Oh, Happy Valentine’s. Also the Feast of St. Cyril and some other bloke who spread the Good News in Russia long ago.

Kitchens are hard. Flaria puts her hair in a braid when she’s working in ‘em. Good idea, no? And I’m not sure what Flairé does with those long dramatic laces on his gauntlets. I think he tucks them inside somewhere.

Determined Flairé is determined. And sexy. Imo.

We cooked all afternoon. It was crazy. Mom went insane for V-day and made Caeser salad (actually I did that part – anchovies are, like, pure salt) and chicken pot pies with pastry hearts and almond flavoured ice cream and heart shaped cookies. I got to decorate most of them (with pink icing) so I put lots of movie quotes. Like “As you wish”, “I know” (Han Solo), ”Someday my prince will come”, “Kiss de girl”, “So this is love”, ”INDYYYYY!” and “If music be the food of luv, play on”. My brother helped a lot, though he has forgotten Cinderella.

Also I watched a review of The Phantom Menace which is insightful and indepth, and hilarious, but has a LOT of swear words because the reviewer is pretending to be an ignoramus. But if you ever hear me saying “What’s wrong with your faaa~aaaace” it’s from that review because of the Nemodian with the wierd face implants. The one who says “They’ve gone up the ventilation shaft!” D : “How do you know that? Seriously, how do you know that? What’s wrong with your faaa~aaace?”

And I went for a walk today in the bright sun, and my brother and I basically spent the whole walk trying to calculate if it was more sensible to use a single bolt or take advantage of the Warhammer High Elves’ awesome repeater bolt thrower which fires six shots at S4. We determined eventually that there is indeed a higher chance of killing knights (or whatever) by using six bolts. Mystery solved! After much math, including factoring in Lady’s Saves and things like that…

Did you ever realize just how present the piano is in the Battle of Hoth? Awesome.

            30 seconds later:

            Flaria: Oh! A person. How old is she? Does she like music? Where did you get the dress?

            Flairé: Her name is Leslie, she’s 19, and she plays music everyday. We got the dress at Avumal’s place. Miss Leslie, this is my over-excitable sister Flaria.

             Flaria: *eyeroll* Hello, Leslie! I’m very pleased to meet you. What do you like to eat?

             Leslie: What is there?

Hi! I need to go do stuff, so here is the finished ink of the page. No colour; that will come later.

AAAAAHHHHH IT’S A FEMALE FLAIRÉ just kidding.

Oh, yes. As soon as Flaria meets the new girl her thought is only hyper curiousity and whether she’s hungry.

This room needs a little more colour. The next time you see it, it will have some red drape-y things. Almost wasn’t going light the candles, but then I figured that it would only be natural. And I’m running out of yellow marker! : ( I will try and fix that for next week but I make no guarantees.

Oh and I don’t think the “switching back and forth” in the first frame was too successful. I will do better next time. I also forgot Flairé’s sword in the second panel. He just took it off really really fast? Those kalmaei are fast, you know.

Successfully played two churches this morning. Not bad. Played the 3rd mvmt of Bédard’s Quatre Pieces en forme du Messe and the Menuet Gothique by Boellmann.

Okay I have rehearsal and lots of practice, so here I go.

Christmas in Colour, 2009, finished!

(570)

And now, the finished picture! Ehhhhh… I actually used the tablet a lot less with the shading/highlighting. I used it a lot for the hair, of course, but the clothes… just didn’t work with that. I need to find a way to change the settings so the harder I press doesn’t affect the width of the stroke, but how dark/light it is.

Parts I’m pleased with: Marteth’s dark purple coat; Gullac’s teal shirt; Bayn’s grey jacket. Coincidentally, they’re the ones you can see least of. : P Tam’s jacket is a close second, though. His shoulders came out half-way decent. I’m also happy with all the hair and Flairé’s face, which was worrying me. Doesn’t he look like his parents? X D

I realize that the ink lines only get in the way now. I think I will experiment in the future with not having hard lines at all. With the tablet, I can do that now!

I’m collecting Candy-cane shards in Guild Wars so I can get the Candy-cane daggers (for Gullac, when I make him) and the Peppermint Scythe (because it’s cool). I already have a Candy-cane spear. I wonder if these weapons break if you use them too much? I don’t think so. But I’m a little nervous about actually using them in battle.

Gullac: I’m not! (sproings around like a frog, brandishing his daggers and laughing insanely)

Dude, I haven’t gotten them yet. Give me another hour.
