The Lyndis’s Legion Rock Band returns! With Wil, no less! Except… I didn’t know how to draw Wil, so he looks funny. He is obviously the keyboard player. At this point I’d been taking piano lessons for about seven or eight years, but do I know how to draw pianos? Heh? I guess I was getting annoyed with the lack of success. Anyhow, um, Lyn and Sain are actually in proportion to each other if you measure them, but the perspective is off. A lot.
Yet another chapter has been added to Timeless Ocarina. And another. Another of Rekka no Ken should follow soon, but I’m editing it.
However, the Dodongo’s Cavern chapters from the original Timeless Ocarina aren’t as bad as I thought they were… Bonus chapter (completely unedited) over here. Still, I’m having trouble making the Great Lizard part actually interesting… it’s the easiest boss ever. Well, the Great Arachnid was pretty easy also, but it’s difficult to have near-death situations where one wrong step and you’re gone forever. Link will have to be safe the whole battle, and that really detracts from building tension. I went to my brother for some advice about it, and he said “Give them non-life-threatening injuries anyway”, and I said “So they can go see the Great Fairy”, which is better than
Hail-NekoYasha: “Advisor, advise me!”
Random dood (shirt says stupid): “Gimme five dollars.”
*POW*
Random dood: X-X
Um, also I think I’m terrible at creating tension in the first place, so never mind. The chapters don’t flow into each other properly. Oh, well, at least they’re a similar length now instead of some that were twenty pages long and a couple that were only about a page and half long. That was wonky. Um, and please imagine the Great Fairy as having a nice laugh and looking nice, rather than the ugly screechy thing in the game.
Sorry for putting up two chapters; I originally planned to have only one, To the Mountain, but then the Dodongo’s Cavern ordered me to prepare it for posting and I couldn’t help it after that because The Great Lizard explains what Dodongo’s Cavern is. I’ll never be able to develop a buffer of any sort.
Flairé: Why would you want to… seems like you have all your pictures scanned, and what else is there to do?
Have to be quick now, since my brother wants to finish D&D v.3 because he hasn’t worked on it in a while and my birthday’s coming up… I already received one birthday card! I suppose I have to start on page 4 of Chibilandness, but my drawing’s been given a rest also, and last night I had an idea for character design, but you’ll be able to see the stages by which I lost interest because it wasn’t going the way I wanted it.
Flairé: Sort of like this picture up there!
Then I tried a picture of Flairé -
Flairé: Yay!
- you’d think my favourite character would be easy to draw -
Flairé: I am?
- but he looked odd also, so I decided it was Flaria, his sister.
Flairé: Well, good for her! She needs more screen time!
End result, there are still times when my pictures look like I started drawing yesterday.
There’s an interesting version of the Magic Flute overture on the radio. Sounds like they went into 3/4 and plan to stick to it, giving an odd lilt to parts that normally aren’t in 3/4. (Oh. It’s by Mahler.)
Lyn! She looks okay, but who’s that other guy? (laughs) This is my level of interest in drawing ugly bad guys. Which bandits invariably are. Nice hair Lyn has, though.
We’ve had an Allen Parsons Project Lyndis’s Legion 
This picture I drew because I’m a hopeless romantic and I like the Hector and Lyn pairing. Besides which, I have this wierd habit where the music I’m listening to becomes related to a current fad in my head. This was part of an Enya phase, so the Shepherd Moons CD has become inextricably tangled with Middle Earth in general, and many of the songs there with Esgalwen in particular – except for the Afer Ventus song, which has Zela stamped on it. Parts of The Celts and Watermark became associated with Fire Emblem. Other parts are still miscellaneous, or make me think of Zela. A Day Without Rain is more Esgalwen – er, I mean Middle Earth. The Lazy Day song at the end, though, that’s for me as in human artist girl.
