One… last attempt to do Esgalwen, and it failed worse than ever. Then I drew the figures on the left, inspired by the song the lady sings in the bar on Outo World in Tsubasa… I still can’t remember her name anymore. Anyway, the bit where she stops and the girls’ choir starts is the bit that inspired me to imagine Flairé swinging me around in the air. Except I forgot my glasses again and he’s about a foot too tall. Then… I think I drew the one of Flairé with a little rock whizzing past his face (thrown by me ^_^7) and his shirt says “I LIKE PICKLES”. Squee! I think I drew Link next, and then Rana, and she turned out better than he did, and then I finished off with Legolas, who didn’t turn out too well, and Zela, looking especially grumpy.
My friends keep showing up in my dreams! Yaaay
I like children’s choirs. Did I say that? Although the one at the Olympics didn’t look like they were actually singing… oh, and the opening ceremonies were pretty silly overall, I think, especially the fireworks. I know the Chinese invented fireworks, but seriously! It was like day, or maybe an exquisitely pretty bombing raid… Anyway, I missed the first part, so maybe I’ll watch it later. Man, I didn’t even know the Olympics were on until this afternoon. Anyway, the flags are awesome.
Quiz/Poll Questions: D’you think it’s worth using Javascript to keep the sidebar links updated? How about the category buttons? Who uses those? Would you miss them if I took them away? How about if I just put a link to the specific category page? Is there any way to update the linking mechanism so that for picture n, the next button will automatically link to picture n+1?
E-mail me the answers to any or all of these questions elfinessewebsiteathotmaildotcom! No hurry; you won’t see any of the proposed changes for many months. I work slowly.
Whoohoo! A picture of Middle Earth! Well, of people in Middle Earth. Right-y, in the back, we have King Thranduil of the Mirkwood Elves, and his un-named wife (see closeup here). At least I can’t remember her name and I’m really too exhausted to look it up right now. The next couple, further to the right, are Esgalwen’s parents… can’t remember if I gave them names, either, and I probably didn’t write them down. Probably I didn’t give them names, as she would call them father and mother. Right in front of them are the three sisters, with the youngest on the left, with a mischievous look on her cute face, and then the gentle eldest, and then Esgalwen the shy middle on the right. She hasn’t gotten her necklace yet, either. The eldest’s head is too big. Esgalwen actually looks pretty good in this picture.
This picture is my best so far. As in, up until Dec 23 ’05. It’s even shaded, so it looks a little 3D! This day, according to my sketchbook, was the day on which we did a Lord of the Rings marathon. We watched 5 discs.
Another version of Heroes All! With Lyn, too, because she’s so cool. The strange people here are (L-R) Mengil, who was an evil Warhammer Dark Elf who was rather handsome in the White Dwarf article about him. So now he’s a good guy because I say so. Then there’s Legolas, then Kusko, the skinny dude, and Kurama sitting on the ground, explaining botany to Jim from Treasure Planet and his rocket-powered skateboard, and then Sain is sitting on a stump, chatting with the two Hylians: Raven and Link III, and Sain’s taken off his hip-plates. And Lyn is posing because she’s good with a sword.
Legolas, riding through Mirkwood at high speed to get to Elrond’s council before the deadline. Whee. This was drawn much too lightly. Sorry for the poor scanning quality. Tomorrow’s is like that too.
