Doodles Year 2 Part 3

« ... »

Well, we’ll see how many I get done today. This should be the last of it, covering the scribbles in the last bit of Music History and all my Linguistics. Just one term of Ling because I had theory during second term at the same time.

dump20083a

Esgalwen, ‘maid of Mirkwood’, MH, Feb 6 ’08. Not bad, actually. Also someone’s head. No one in particular.

dump20083bicon

Warning! Picture has nekkid lady! About the only nekkid lady I ever drew! Click for full image. Okay, now this one has a strange story that I wasn’t going to tell you yet but I will. MH, Feb 10, ’09. Once upon a time, Flairé had a friend from the Dragon-lands that he suddenly found out one day that, to his shock, she was in love with him. Enough to forego modesty and pin him against a wall. I think he dropped like an eel to escape and ran around the room in circles before jumping up to perch on an arch near the ceiling, and because she was a weaver, not a dancer/acrobat/warrior, she couldn’t follow him. They… stopped being friends, though he did save her life shortly afterwards from something monstrous. Apologies to all who are offended by this picture.

dump20083c

A tiny scribble of dancing maids, same class.

dump20083d

First attemped portrait of Jalril ‘Mui-id’, MH, Feb 24 ’09.

 dump20083e

Flairé, looking rather smug. Or something. MH, Feb 27, ’09.

dump20083f

And again, same class. Hmm, I didn’t have to take many notes that day. (Note: drawing often helps me listen better somehow. Sometimes. Not always. In History it always seemed to. Does not help with listening to younger brothers.)

dump20083g

Braden, shortly after he had an ad placed on Shaw TV about playing the Mozart D- Piano Concerto. It was pretty cool, and Stephen Brown said lots of nice things about him. And Mozart/Haydn. I didn’t manage to get to the concert with the concerto, but I did get to his solo recital, and it was good. And L was with me, which made it even better.

dump20083h

Flairé fanservice! He looks happy, but he’s not. Don’t let appearences fool you! MH, Mar 10, ’09. …I just like drawing manly shoulders and chests under very pretty faces. (Flairé: *sob*)

dump20083i

I’m not sure whether I was dating this guy or not at this point, but I certainly had a crush on him. So he gets a floral background. MH, Mar 13, ’09.

MH class, Mar 17, ’09: L wrote on the edge of my notebook: “Bolshevik Revolution – B.S. Revolution?” I replied: “yeah, pretty much”. Such political wit. : P

dump20083j

Flairé, looking grim, MH, Mar 17, ’09.

dump20083k

Flairé, again looking grim, even positively alien here. MH, Mar 20, ’09

dump20083l

Esgalwen again. MH, Mar 27, ’09.

supertomatomanthing

SUPER TOMATO MAN THING!!! Drawn by… oh dear. I’m ashamed to say I forget. I think it was AlexR. Anyway, I love it. Same class.

dump20083mdump20083n

Faces, MH, Mar 31, ’09. Link, with built shoulders, Some human girl I don’t know, and then Flairé, again looking weird.

dump20083odump20083p

Flairé, MH, Apr 1, ’09. Class began with a short biography of Dee Snider. LOL APRIL FOOL’S. Though I don’t know who Dee Snider is or who he turned into. Anyway, this is a lovely shot of Flairé, I think. Also a swirly thing with a shadow.

And now, Linguistics sketches!!

dump20084a

 Flairé for teh pickel shurt, Ling, Sep 5 ’08.

dump20084b

Someone’s face, partly. Sep 9, ’08.

dump20084cdump20084d

Youngish Flairé, pouting, and some incredibly long hair, Oct 1, ’08. Also a rather haunting face that was the result of a failed sketch so I scribbled it out.

flairetiredchibis

Chibi Flairé heads illustrating my tiredness in class: SO CUTE!!! *stare* *WHUD* *zzzzzzzzz…*

dump20084e

Some guy, Oct 15 ’08. Apparently Woody Allen once said “Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it.” Which has nothing to do with the picture, it’s just funny.

dump20084f

Glorfindel, I think. Oct 17, ’08.

dump20084g

A cool looking guy, I think. Oct 22, ’08. A bit squished but great hair.

dump20084h

Ummm… not sure who this is. Bayn? Lyrestan? Gyoriing? Oct 24, ’08.

dump20084i

Sad elf, also not sure who. Oct 28, ’08.

dump20084jdump20084j2

Random elf, and Rana looking very happy, Oct 29, ’08. And Link on the reverse side of same sheet, same class. You can see both of them!

dump20084k

I believe this is MichaelG but I could be wrong. That’s his sweater, though. Nov 4, ’08.

dump20084l

Flairé, MichaelG, Kylyraless not very good. What happened to Flairé? “I got prettier”, he said. XP Nov 18, ’08.

 dump20084m

Flairé, Nov 6 ’08. Also Kalmaeiring phonemic minimal pairs: f and ff (ff is pronounce bilabially instead of with the upper teeth touching the lips), sh/hc (hc is like ch in Bach but much more air and less consonant). A minimal pair is when you have two similar sounds that, when used in otherwise-identical words, change the meaning. Like ‘same’ and ‘shame’, or ‘same’ and ‘sane’. Or ‘fwei’ and ‘ffwei’. (‘love’ and ‘angel’)

dump20084n

Flairé pointing with his sword (through a verb construction matrix). His other hand is on his hip but it wasn’t done very well. Oh well. Actually it looks like his hair parts on the side. Oh well again. Nov 18, ’08

 dump20084o

A leaf, in a discussion of connotation vs. denotation. Nov 25, ’08.

 dump20084p

Flairé AND MichaelG, this time. Still trying to find out if they look similar or not. Nov 28, ’08. Dang it, guys! Either look more like each other or less like each other! …Flairé’s prettier.

 

Then, at the very back of this book, comes my kalmaeirin piece Yale sha Milihcin (Song of Innocence), discussions on kalmaeirin music, music notation, and a rough draft of the first section of the score-scroll for the Yale sha Milihcin.

 dump20084r

Not sure who this is; could be Flaria. No date.

 dump20084q

“What good is singing yourself into tranquillity and then dancing yourself into estacy?” demands Flairé, attempting to explain why it is rare to have a slow song and fast dance together in the popular song/dance form. “I said that!” he said proudly, pointing to it, after I wrote it down. “Good fer you…” I replied sarcastially.

 

DONE! It only took me all day! Good thing I didn’t have anything else to do. Though three hour long naps on Sunday are great. :)

You now have Zela’s bio up in the Characters page! I like doing these bios. They’re fun. Flairé’s is coming shortly.

The stupidest spam message ever: “Thanks because of sharing. The battle-cry on the at one waffle is genocide me.” It’s exactly the same as another spam message I got once, except the first one was in plain English.

Doodles Year 2 Part 2

« ... »

And here is my history/Ling notebook from second year… Today is just Music History. Tomorrow will be more Music History, and possibly Linguistics as well. But for today here’s a bunch of sketches. (MH stands for Music History)

 dump20082a

The famous I LIKE PICKLES Flairé, Music History, Sep 3 ’08. Elbows too high, but otherwise the first sketch of my concept for a t-shirt.

 dump20082b

Nieril Kylyralessa sha Nunathoemlen, MH, Sep 30, ’08. Bit too much hair around her face, actually.

 dump20082c

Nieron Flaer Flaré sha Lilemlen, same class. I like Flaer. I really do. He’s often overshadowed by the more dramatic members of his family. But he’s a nice guy.

 dump20082d

Zela and Flaer, same class. More terrible attempts at drawing kissing! Actually, this was my go-to picture for kalmaei. “Which one’s the girl?” Only 50% of questionees got it right. Meh.

 dump20082e

Little Flairé heads, MH, Oct 6, ’08. So cute! Three different expressions for your perusal. ‘not amused’, ‘?’, and ‘so there!’.

 dump20082f

Sometimes L scribbles cute little things in my book, too.

dump20082g

“Juliet Mitsuaishi”, a character I have no memory of creating, MH, Oct 14, ’08. Or what franchise she was for. I’m guessing something Japanese.

 dump20082h

Just thought I’d mention the Felix MENDELSSOHNNNNNN!!!!!!!-Bartholdy that I put in my book… MH, Oct 21, ’08. Also on Nov 25 we listened to Mussorgsky’s song In Four Walls – Sleeplessness and apparently the text is similar to a kalmaeiring song (which is considerably less depressing, however). Here’s what I wrote: -dark sleeplessness -dark dark dark -time is rushing on yet the night is endless

dump20082idump20082kdump20082j

 MichaelG, Linguistics101, Nov 21 ’08. Fellow student with very nice black hair when it’s not chopped off severely. Drat the military and their haircuts! Also Flaer, next page. AND lx-sama and MichaelG’s hair, MH, Nov 21 ’08. SO SHINY. (pokes hair)

dump20082ldump20082m

Little Flairé luv!! And different people’s hair. MH, Dec 2, ’08. Flairé’s hair, someone else’s hair, someone who is apparently not Bob, and lx-sama’s hair.

dump20082n

Vaguely chibi people, MH, Jan 7 ’09. Flairé is watching me exude a heart.

 dump20082o

Not very good scribbles of MichaelG, same class. Sorry, Michael!

dump20082p

Ceniro looking awesome, not-Ceniro looking not-awesome, and humans in the 21st Century according to evolutionists?! MH Jan 14 ’09. Love that middle shot of Ceniro.

dump20082q

Looooommming Sunken Cathedral. MH, Jan 16, ’09. Well, we got to Debussy!

dump20082r

Someone’s face, same class. Looks to be drawn from an actual person, but he’s not labelled.

dump20082s

Flairé looking coy, same class.

dump20082t

Flaria swooning, Flairé’s ear, MH, Jan 21, ’09

dump20082u

Zela, same class. Nose way too long.

dump20082wdump20082v

Rainy Flairé and random kalma, MH, Jan 27, ’09. I like Flairé here.

dump20082x

Nieron Marteth (sorta) sha Lilemlen, and Esgalwen, I think, though I’m not sure. Same class.

dump20082y

Wozzeck is the villain to whom we are sympathetic in Berg’s opera of the same name as the title character. So who is the hero? asks my teacher. “I am,” says Flairé, with his nose in the air. : D MH, Jan 28, ’09.

dump20082z

A flower and wind spirit. Same class.

cenirotiny

Tiny tiny Ceniro! MH, Feb 4, ’09

 
So that takes us partway through second term, and through the first third of my notebook. More tomorrow.

Am very tired today. I accidentally worked an extra hour at work today because their clock was wrong and I didn’t know it was wrong because they don’t close at the end of my shift like they used to. They have a ‘restaurant’-type deal going on, with menus and formal waitresses and alcohol and everything. But I got to show around their new evening dishwasher, who’s really really cute, so that wasn’t too bad today. I forgot to tell him about the squeegee for the floor, though, and I have a feeling he might need that. But he catches on fast.

Yesterday I went to the performance of .t’s show The World Outside. It was pretty epic. I didn’t like the beginning, but I did like the music with the clip of the waterfalls. And I have the DVD, so I can listen to it (on lower volume : S ) as much as I want! : D And I liked the end, of course. The pretty sparkly bits. Meh, you know me. Of course those would be the bits I like. Oh, and the very very very beginning, with the title, that part was epic.

Last night after the concert, I went out with friends to a drinking establishment for the first time in my life… I didn’t drink myself, though the fruity drinks don’t look as bad as, say, beer. But I don’t need alcohol to get drunk. Just ask Kira, who took me outside and calmed me down after I went into hysteria. That’s what happens when I’m up for more than 16 hours and the atmosphere is excited. …It was pretty surreal. That might have been Kevin’s fault, though.

Then I felt bad for not doing much besides all that yesterday so I came home and wrote down the bit that .t’s show inspired in me, a bit of Zela’s story with Zela and Gullac…

And yesterday morning I bought a laptop cooler pad, so that’s good. It’s a little noisy, but now my table won’t catch on fire.

sothevictoryicon I lied; sketchbook scans return tomorrow. The colour version of this picture which got sent to people as a weird birthday party invitation. L looks awesome; lx says his boots look furry, (they’re not) and MG likes his sword. And Claire likes her pegasus, which really I just coloured in by erasing the sky. Hehheh.

I am ignorant. I realized that this morning. Oh dear. In other news, I am more confused as to the plot of Phantom of the Opera than I ever was before.

Don’t forget to vote on the RnK chapter plot poll! (scroll down on the right) Still haven’t started the next chapter but I’m quite certain how some scenes are going to play out. Will try and focus as much as possible on Ceniro’s POV, but will have to jump around and show villains plotting sometimes otherwise will be too confusing and possibly more boring. Will start later today, after playing Warhammer with my bro, practicing Beethoven (second movement is memorized, baby! …though it’s the shortest movement… gonna try the first one today) and completing my full intention of beating Elinicia’s Endgame chapter in FE10. Go, go, Geoffrey/Haar/Elincia/Kieran! Kick butt and watch out for flying axes! : P

Red Dwarf Series VI is not as funny as all the series that are before it…

esgalwenavatar Whoohoo! This is a picture of all my closest friends at the time of drawing. Most of them are still my closest friends, although there ought to be more of them now. We’re all Fire Emblem characters. From L-R, there’s Michael the pianist, the red-armoured cavalier, KevinT the pianist, the ‘mercenary’ class swordsman, Claire the soprano, the pegasus knight, L the pianist, the archer, Jennifer the pianist, apparently switching classes to be a fire mage (let’s say this is FE7 so it’s easier, anyway), Nathan the clarinetist, the armour knight, lx-sama, the dark-magic wielding shaman, Michael the violist, the green-armoured cavalier (did you see what I did thar), and .t, the fighter-class axeman. Scale is a little skewed because I started it as a picture of N, because I was discussing it as him and I was quite sure he would be a great armour knight, and then added everybody else later. I’m happy with N, lx, .t, L, and Claire. The rest are not so good, but passable… very close to passable…

So I sent out this picture, coloured in Photoshop, as a sort of invitation to my birthday that year. It was a great gathering. Claire and lx sat next to each other, though, which meant I nearly died of laughter. Teehee.

Very tired… need to stop being an idiot about sleep and get some done. Also my feet hurt pretty badly and I can’t think of why. Standing for 12 hours over two days in comfortable shoes should not kill them!

Dramatic TdF today… poor Cadel. Not a good year for him. Next time! On the other hand, Andy Schleck is CUTE. : D

Still plugging away at Ephraim’s Chapter 4. Nearly done that; getting ready for the Siege of Fort Rigwald. Can’t remember what happens at the end of the chapter, though, because I have a drawing from last summer of Ephraim questioning an enemy soldier after the dust settles but I have no memory of what he acutally say. Also I’m getting ideas for what Ceniro did between Lyn’s campaign and the year after that.

Tomorrow’s picture is awesome!

zelabodyicon Top left of this picture, is, obviously, Marteth. I was experimenting with his hair; wondering if I could make it less weird while still letting Marteth be as much of an SoB as a Prince-Commander in Exile can be. Then there was a practice sketch of a friend because he had a birthday the next day and I wanted to draw him a card, as I do for friends with birthdays… As you can see I was not impressed with my efforts. I wasn’t too impressed with the card either, but apparently he liked it. That’s a good thing because I lost my scan of it. Then I drew Jerome Bettequer from The Prime of Ambition for some reason. I think because he became my new favourite character because he wasn’t snarky like Audj.

There’s no one in the house except me pretty much so I can go practice piano YAAAAAAAAAAAY.

I can play Happy Birthday classical style.
