Sketches for the Marth Manga, based on the celebratory party for his return (and victory, hooray!). The Ice Climbers turned out terribly… The stripy thing is just me experimenting with metal. You can see Marth is very popular suddenly. ^_^7
On angels and a.b.c. chewing gum: you can get both on the same bus. One day I was on the 26, as usual, and a bunch of beer-brains (who were also interested in bathrooms and drugs) were sitting a few rows in front of me, talking rather loudly about their various uneducated interests. Ugh. Then, a few blocks later, a guy got on the bus and sat next to me because the seat was one of the few free ones. He mistook me for an acquaintance, and we discovered we had both homeschooled. I enjoyed that brief chat very much, and I’d like to say thank you to him. Completely made my day, and more than made up for the twits in the front rows.
Art contest! Take a look! Deadline Dec 1! I forgot to add prizes, but they’re here now!

This is quite a good page, despite its obvious drawbacks. Yes, I know you’re saying: what kind of comment is that?!? It’s the way I think. I found the Japanese quotes from a GameSpot FAQ.
The translation is:
Kyou mo ikinobiru koto ga dekita
Marth
Today, I have survived.
Kurushii tatakai datta
Roy
It was a tough battle.
Their other quotes sound so like them! I wish I were Japanese and had been able to experience them in all their original Fire Emblem glory! Oh, well. They’ll be around again sometime.
Just one more page of this thing!

This story is almost done! Hooray! It finishes with the end of this big sketchbook. On this page, I started getting a little smarter about the words. I just drew the pictures. LinT must have been inspiring me! So the words have been 100% added in Photoshop. Marth look incredibly stupid in frame 9. But I like frame 6, 
and also frame 4 isn’t bad but it was drawn about a month later. And that’s quite possibly the best kissing scene I’ve ever drawn, since they aren’t actually kissing.
So far today, I watched my brother play Lego Star Wars II and the beginning of Star Wars Ep III (up to the part where they crash on the runway). The beginning of that movie is really brilliant. If only it were done with X-wings and TIE fighters, and Mon Cal cruisers and Impstars, and if ONLY HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN WERE A BETTER ACTOR, and one or two fewer dumb one-liners, then it would be Star Wars perfection incarnate.
But so much for my resolution to be a good student and practice at 9 in the morning like some people. Okay, so they go to orchestra rehearsal. That doesn’t change the fact that they’re practicing. But, I am planning to do piano after I’m done here, and then go on a walk around the golf course in the first time since school started, and then I’m going to finish theory homework and start on history homework!
Art contest! Take a look!

Ooh, now this page is cooler than the last one. Marth in frame 4 notwithstanding, the first, second, and last frames are pretty good. Yep. Especially the last one. And more action commences.
The race music from the Reivers Suite really makes you sit up!
And I finally put up all the pictures from the last week. Go me. Blah.
Well, I finished Decline and Fall at about lunchtime! Time for the next book! Oh, right, what I thought of it. I think I liked it best at the beginning, since the bad things hadn’t started piling up. The guy’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Margot is manipulative, and it’s certainly British satire, and the first thing I thought when I finished the last page was “Wierd” even though I hadn’t thought that all the way through. And, yes, I read it in order! My favourite part, of course, is when Peter “pulled out the vox humana and played Pop Goes the Weasel“. Yesss.
Oh, I am a nerdy organ student. Even though I’m a pianist.
