Glorfindel, badly shaded, and everyone else, badly drawn, and a background, badly filled in. Whoohoo. Does it look like he’s glowing? I don’t think so. But I guess subtlety is good there because I don’t think he’s supposed to be neon, for example. Just lighter than he ought to be. It didn’t come out.
The picture is of the time during the flight to Rivendell, after they met Glorfindel. I think the closest hobbit is Merry but I’m not sure. There’s a pony, too.
Okay, I survived my first day. Guess what: there are two guys named Michael with black hair in at least two of my courses. Nice to talk to. The other Michael I know has brown hair and is at Camosen. UVic is a little confusing at first. It was misty when I started out – 7:45 AM. Hungry by 11:00. Linguistics was GREAT even though we didn’t formally get started yet but if I want to skip Year 1 Music Theory, I will have to drop it because Year 2 Theory is at the same time. And then I’ll have to find another course to fill in the credits. Blah.
I got enough stuff out of the living room to vacuum and to wipe the coffeetable, but there’s stuff on other smaller tables and I discovered my shoeboxes and poster tubes are still in the front closet. And my room is still awfully messy, with at least two piles of stuff still to sort and half a table of knicknacks that have no current home. After my piano practice, and perhaps a FourSwords session with my brother, I get some more done. I finished my homework for today. Easily.
Glorfindel! And Asfaloth! Asfaloth doesn’t look as bad as my horses usually do. I still can’t draw horse chests. I should study sometime. I tried to make everything other than him and his horse dark so that he would stand out. He is supposed to have a sort of glow, I think. Like the elves in the Shire, where a faint light falls about their feet. Unfortunately, the shadow faded. Frodo came out well also, and look! It’s Aragorn! Wow! Sort of. Sam is the hobbit just behind him, Merry is the one behind Glorfindel, and Pippin is behind Asfaloth. I had trouble scanning this. It didn’t want to pick up Glorfindel’s arm or waist.
Huzzah! Glorfindel saves the day! From Ringwraiths!
