This picture can be found in the story chapter below, and is the last of the illustrations for the Pent story to date. I rather like this one; I had no reference for Pent but he came out rather well. This was the second picture I drew, so it’s a little out of order. In this picture, Ceniro is receiving a magical device designed to help him plot strategy. It’s like a GPS, sort of. I’m rather proud of the wilted flower by the waterbarrel. The stick thing that Pent has is his heal staff.
I’m listening to the Alain Litanies again… I borrowed the music from the UVic library today, so I should be able to start learning it in December after classes end! It’s exciting, but the quote at the beginning is rather sad. Of course, I can’t speak French terribly well, so I probably have it wrong. It reads: “Quand l’âme chrétienne ne trouve plus de mots nouveaux dans la détresse pour implorer la miséricorde de Dieu, elle répète sans cesse la même invocation avec une foi véhémente. La raison atteint sa limite. Seule la foi poursuit son ascension.”
In other news, the Liszt is going well, and I think I’m going to write about Mendelssohn and Folksong in my paper that’s due next Wednesday. Hooray! And I need to get working again on NNWM because I’m only 5000 words ahead now. And I have chorus testing tomorrow. Gah! There’s so much to be done at once! What am I doing here? Oh, it’s suppertime anyway. Goodbye! (runs)
I decided to draw this picture for the sole reason that Pent and Louise from Fire Emblem 7 make a very good looking couple, and are obviously completely devoted to each other. I’d guess that Pent is about 30, and Louise is maybe 25 (so that means according to my reckoning, they’ve been married about 11 years). Anyway, celeb gossip aside (Pent is the Mage General of Etruria) I used both sprites and official artwork for reference, and that didn’t help me with Louise because the only artwork I could find was a tiny little image about 150 by 300 pixels or so. So, her clothing and especially hair are not nearly as good as they could be, and I tried several times. Pent came out pretty good first try. I’m fascinated by the fact that his son, Klein, looks EXACTLY like him except with shorter, blonde hair.
