10 Character Meme

Click for insanity. Yeah, I kinda ran out of inspiration at the end… and one of the words is maybe not wholly PG, but some of them are not too bad. I like the one of Math defending me from EbilTam. Also the one where Flairé has to marry someone came out pretty much how I wanted it too, but the one of Flairé and Marteth camping I wish I’d been able to do better. Maybe I’ll just do it as a picture sometime.

So that’s what I’ve been doing instead of writing or anything useful.

If any of the panels aren’t clear, let me know so I can make it clear. : P

Bit of clarification anyway… Layalin isn’t joking when she says she’s going to die too – kalmaeirin elves have a heart condition that means they can literally break their hearts when they lose someone particularly dear to them. Of course, it would not be the fault of a car crash. : P

10 characters for a meme

Working on the hilarious 10 character meme. You can probably guess at the answers if you know it already… but they might not be what you expect! I thought some of these turned out rather well. Probably stolen from Colby, but it’s been so long I’ve forgotten. I only just got around to it. : P

Also editting Chapter 2 of the novel. Split it into two chapters, so Tam’s moment of glory is now in Chapter 3. Chapter 2 is still veeeery rough. Not happy with most of it. I may need to chop it out and rewrite it by itself a few times. Wondering how Chapter 3 will go, since I’ve never written it before. Flaer made a long internal monologue about how useless anger is… and then flips out at a dragon for being stupid. What a silly boy.

What else? Um, not much. Obsessing unhealthily over my DevArt. Added like five bazillion pictures to my favourites. Guess I should add more of my own stuff. I think I will stick to colour stuff, because the pencil stuff is not so impressive. More or less. If there’s something on Adhemlenei you think I should post on DevArt, tell me. : P

Also dug up my Tour links again in preparation for a couple weeks from now… Go Andy! And Cadel! And Ryder! Okay, I guess I can wait until it actually gets going. It’s gonna be amazing on the new TV.

Shirtless Gullac lol

SHIRTLESS GULLAC! Trying to figure out male anatomy without using a reference, because shirtless guys make me uncomfortable. <_< But shirtless Gullac makes me laugh, because he just has such flamboyance with or without a shirt.

Apologies for the terrible scanning job. I don’t know how to make it better with such a small scanner.

Marteth is not amused. But the random fangirl (who isn’t me, fyi) is.

Recital tonight! Eeeeee…

Christmas in colour 2009 (finished!)

christmas09colour41

And now, the finished picture! Ehhhhh… I actually used the tablet a lot less with the shading/highlighting. I used it a lot for the hair, of course, but the clothes… just didn’t work with that. I need to find a way to change the settings so the harder I press doesn’t affect the width of the stroke, but how dark/light it is.

Parts I’m pleased with: Marteth’s dark purple coat; Gullac’s teal shirt; Bayn’s grey jacket. Coincidentally, they’re the ones you can see least of. : P Tam’s jacket is a close second, though. His shoulders came out half-way decent. I’m also happy with all the hair and Flairé’s face, which was worrying me. Doesn’t he look like his parents? X D

I realize that the ink lines only get in the way now. I think I will experiment in the future with not having hard lines at all. With the tablet, I can do that now!

I’m collecting Candy-cane shards in Guild Wars so I can get the Candy-cane daggers (for Gullac, when I make him) and the Peppermint Scythe (because it’s cool). I already have a Candy-cane spear. I wonder if these weapons break if you use them too much? I don’t think so. But I’m a little nervous about actually using them in battle.

Gullac: I’m not! (sproings around like a frog, brandishing his daggers and laughing insanely)

Dude, I haven’t gotten them yet. Give me another hour.

Merry Christmas in Colour, part 1

christmas09colour1

(sings and dances) I wuv my tablet, I wuv my tablet…

I’m using this picture as a tutorial to teach myself how to use it, and to relearn Photoshop as the version that came with it is similar to the one we have downstairs (Photoshop 5) but of course it’s different. So I will be shading and highlighting and making shiny over the next week or so. When I’m not playing Wii Sports Resort (that is a pretty darn good game, if I do say so). The tablet is very handy in that I don’t have to switch brushes to do the the tiny corners – I just let up on the pressure. It’s great! And of course it feels like drawing which is very comfortable. It’s a pretty cool device.

I’m not sure how I ended up colour co-ordinated with Flairé’s princely outfit. I think it’s because it’s a generally accepted fact that I look decent in black and red, and his outfit just happens to be black and red. Hmmmm. Oh, I just noticed that part of it is not the right colour (silly me), so I’ll fix that tomorrow. Esgalwen, too, is usually in red, but she also likes blue and green. …Marteth looks like his eyes are crossed. I better fix that. And maybe I’d better recolour Jalril’s tunic so it doesn’t look like part of his skin.

Y’know, the more I look at this picture, the more I like it. Is that bad?

Merry Christmas 2009!

Whoa! Lots of pictures today, folks! Hold on!

christmas09

First, a very Merry Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate) from all of us here at the Adhemlenei. People in this picture: Marteth, Bayn, Gyoriing, Lyrestan; Mathaning, Gullac, Zela, Flaer, Yoeath; Flaria, Jalril, Flairé, Tam, Rana; Ceniro, Leslie, Jennifer, Esgalwen. Quite a number! Didn’t have room to fit in Silver, but we all know she wishes you a Merry Christmas too. Yes? Yes.

Jalril is just embarrassed at standing next to a girl. Who’s dating his brother. She thinks he’s funny. And cute. Tam is a cloooooowwwwn. X D Flairé is wearing his princely-type tunic which you haven’t seen before! It’s red. Continue reading

Siblings

What a load of wierdos.

What a load of wierdos.

It’s Flairé! And all six of his siblings! Woot woot. I drew this coming home from the Bard on the Beach expedition (wow, that was so fun). I asked L what I should draw on the way back, the seven children of Flaer/Zela, or the Flairé-rides-through-the-forest sequence (which I did eventually draw, so hold on to your horses – ahem), and she said the seven persons. So I did. Took me a couple days. I had to redo Marteth, as he looked like a twin of Menad. They still do, actually. Pickles. Bayn looks oversized… I guess that’s what he is, but I thought the effect would be different. And Gullac is supposed to be taller than Mathaning. He’s just hanging off his shoulder. I had fun with the boots, though!

…Gullac is so glompable. (……runs and glomps)

Gullac: AAAAAAAAAAGH GETITOFF GETITOFF GETITOFF

Mathaning: (cracks up)

Also Mt Baker at the bottom of the page.mtbakertiny

Btw the Olympic torch is in town and those ridiculous helicopters keep circling.

Daneel Olivaw, Theory class, Oct 5, 2008. My favourite character from The Caves of Steel and sequels, by Isaac Asimov. He’s a robot! With genuine emotions, sorta! Continue reading

Marteth

...I really can't think of anything funny to say about him.

…I really can’t think of anything funny to say about him.

Iiiiiiiit’s Marteth! Fourth youngest child of Zela and Flaer, and the eldest of the abducted children, and the proudest. I had a dream in which he looked like that, and so I tried to draw him. He turned out a little too creepy, but he looks really shockingly realistic. As you can see, his hair looks a lot less stupid now. I think he was in a storm or something and that’s where the wind is coming from. I think I used my weighted art pencils…

Finished Ephraim Chapter 4. Fort Rigwald outline is in progress, but I have to wait a little in order to find out what the really important parts are. ‘m looking forward to the Duessal chapter, actually.

And of course I’m still daydreaming about working on Ceniro’s stories. I need to drag out my first draft, though, which is not yet on this computer, and compare it to the five chapters that are on this computer, and then get to work on it… I want to finish Lyn’s story after I finish Ephraim’s story. Then I will work on the potentially awesome Pent’s story.
