This is a depiction of Lyon encountering the Demon King for perhaps the first time. The black tendrils of shadow are coiling around him, probably whispering strange and arcane things. Lyon’s kind of scared, but he’s doing experiments in the name of peace – it’s to cure his sick father. Unfortunately… well, bad things happen. Poor Lyon.
I actually like this picture better than the previous one, but I don’t like that way of doing hair very much.
I’m happy the paper in the small book is thick enough I don’t have to use a guard sheet underneath.
Lego movie is about two-thirds done, I think. Lego Star Wars II is having a few glitchy problems in two-player.
I’m going shopping for course books this afternoon.
Tomorrow’s picture is one of my favourites.
Lyon! The Prince of Grado from Fire Emblem 8 gets some more paper time. I wanted to draw him happy because he comes across as a pretty tragic character in the game: in love with Eirika, beating himself up for being physically weak and losing to Ephraim (and Eirika) all the time, even though they’re both terrific friends and he knows it, and he appreciates it, etc. Also his father getting sick and dying doesn’t help. He’s far too sensitive to be an Emperor, but with his friends’ help, he could have made it. As a sensitive Emperor, he would have listened to his people very carefully. Instead, the Demon King ate his soul. Blah. So, this is him being happy because he doesn’t get to be often enough.
