pegasusiconThis picture is of another Fire Emblem 8 couple that is probably pretty uncanonical: Innes and Syrene. I wrote a story to go with this, too. Ta-da. Innes’ clothes are terrible, and Syrene’s hair. And they didn’t fit together quite right. And Innes’ steel bow is pretty hacky, and I’m not sure what happened to his quiver. Syrene’s armour was a little better.

First choir practice tonight. Some people wearing dark clothes on a dark road almost got run over (by us). Don’t wear dark clothes on a dark road. Nick is driving three people to and from choir. Aren’t we energy efficient. Anyway, the pieces are difficult, but perhaps not as impossible as first thought. I was very tired because of moving stuff in my room, but I’m glad there was no Collegium. That was very helpful for energy.

My shelves only fit in one position and place in my room, which is rather annoying. They are now bolted to the wall to prevent the death of me in an earthquake.

zelaavatarsm2This is undoubtedly one of my favourite – no, my favourite Fire Emblem 8: The Sacred Stones pictures. It’s called The Prince’s Despair after one of my favourite songs from the game, which is the desperate, longing, turmoil of Prince Lyon’s theme, except when he’s been taken over by the evil Demon King. The music inspired a slightly different picture, though.

In this picture, Lyon has been dumped by the Demon King (hopefully with his soul intact) and now fights alongside Eirika, Ephraim, and co. Although the scale is massively off (just look at Altha, Seth’s horse) the detail I put into some of this makes me feel good. And Lyon looks like Lyon. He’s the one in front, with long hair and a spell-book. Behind him is Eirika, and behind her is Ephraim, who is somehow bigger than she is, and behind him is a distorted Seth on a distorted Altha, and in the back corner are Prince Innes and Syrene the Frelian pegasus commander. Ephraim’s head looks good.

I love that music. Too bad the actual theme part is all of one line long. The rest is just disturbing chordal sequences. Yes, I think the music in FE 8 has a higher hit-to-filler ratio than FE 7, in that there are about half the number of songs, but more of them are memorable and exciting/beautiful/thrilling/on my favourite list.

At Kevin’s insistance I’m also working hard on Ceniro’s movie again, and painting models.
