Ctrl+J is fab.

Tweaks coming tomorrow. And additions.

Can YOU name everyone here?

EDIT: Check the characters page! It is now covered in chibis. Except for the last four characters (Evylyin+Dymunde, Lyra, Lakia, and Cassandra) because I don’t consider them important enough. Comment if you disagree.

And I found a way that’s easier than Ctrl+J to make transparencies. lol.

EDIT 2: I tweaked a few of the chibis on the character page. Marteth’s head looks a little less like a football (still not ideal, though), Anne’s wing is the proper size, Jalril’s eyes are golden, and a few other colour changes. Cheers!

esgalweniconThis is a picture of all the people who were living in a vivacious – er, lively-ish – fashion in my head at this time. L-R Lyra, the High Elf maiden who made Mengil into a good guy, but she looks more like Esgalwen than the girl next to her, Esgalwen. You can tell who’s who because Esgalwen has a dress with lots of pleats and she has a locket around her neck. Lakia stands next to her. Sitting are Rinako, who looks especially good here, and Salir, who you might remember is Sain’s girlfriend in my story. Up on the tree branch is a girl named Cassandra, with bright red hair and raggedy clothes from living on a deserted planet. The two Hylians are again talking, Raelle and Rana, and Raelle has her nice hair again. Ceniro wanted to be included, but my first attempt looked more like my amusing double bass player friend Anthony.

But see! The difference between “Esgalwen” (Lyra) and the “real” Esgalwen – so striking! I should draw pictures of Lyra and that will trick me into drawing Esgalwen.

“Esgalwen?”                                                                                  ”Lyra?”
Let’s just say they switched clothes.

galadrielfinrodiconRaelle, the long-haired blonde beauty from Hyrule/Labrynna, is telling me a story. Uh-huh. It was going to be a “Heroines All” to match up with Heroes All II, but she didn’t turn out (no kidding, what happened to her insanely long hair?) so I stuck me in drawing her in my favourite chair, which is Mom’s anyway, and then some random knight-vrs-dragon thing. Yeah!

flaireavatarA half-length portrait of Raelle, finished concept sketch. Very pretty is she, I think.

I finished Pride and Prejudice at last, and it was very good. The thought that springs immediately to mind is “it must be difficult to kiss in a lurching carriage” based on the very last shot. However, that’s trivial. The more important point was how faithful it was to the book, and how it heightened all the discomfort anyone feels when confronted with Mrs. Bennet. Mr. Bennet was very entertaining and made up for it a bit, and I also discovered that I have a music book which I bought for S&S but also has the music from this version of P&P, including the great main theme. Lydia I could smack, and I didn’t think Wickham particularly handsome, but his character was excellently portrayed. Darcy didn’t smile AT ALL, which I thought a bit odd, but never mind – Elizabeth’s wit made up for that. My only regrets are that with so complete a rendition, some scenes (which assuredly are not essential) were still left out – I would have liked to see Lady CdB yelling at Darcy and his reaction. ^_^7 Also there were a couple of other bits, but I can’t really remember them now and I’m not watching six hours this instant to find them! ^_^7 Oh, yes, and I thought the dancing scenes very interesting, especially the instruments – I saw a Baroque flute! And the pianoforte was interesting as well, and Mozart was played at least twice – Rondo Alla Turca, by Mrs. Hurst the other show-off, and Cherubino’s second aria – the not-Non so piu one – translated into English and played and sung by Lizzie. Very pretty. Darcy keeps staring… a lot… even more… yet his eyes are not falling out of his head. He has taste in staring, you know. ^_^7 Mr. Bonham, the cellist who is in charge of my chamber group, had some insights to offer on the dances – the English country dance has been largely forgotten and degenerated into patterns, and so they know where to go, but not how to get there. Also the one with Elizabeth and Darcy may have been simplified so as not to distract from the conversation they are having.

You know a movie based on a book is good when you are reminded of the exact wording all the time. Fabulous. It is a little bit grainy, and Dad says it’s a bit washed out in the light parts and too dark in the dark parts, but it does’t really matter to me… I didn’t notice that stuff. I need to reread the book. Since I’ve finished with Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1, I can.

watermonstericonThis fair lassie’s full name is Raelleanoranda, because her mother is insane. (like Gaila – the stereotype I singlehandedly crafted of a stout, overbearing, ‘fashionable’, social-climbing mother). Raelle herself is a nice girl, called Ella by her girl friends, Ray by her father and her boy friends, and Raelle by everyone else. She has a sister named Chrysanthemum, married to a nice guy named Peter, I think. Raelle ran away from an arranged marriage to a fat, drunk general in the Hylian army and she ran to Labrynna. Can you guess where this is going yet?

Yes, I thought Raven was so handsome, and his marriage was guaranteed, that I took the liberty of making up a suitable match for him. She is cheerful, able to wield a sword, and likes fishing and gardening. Blonde hair, blue eyes. That ugly guy at the top was an attempt to draw Raven. I tried to make Raelle’s hair the kind of over-the-top waves like Nayru, the Oracle.

Today when I went to church, my faintness came back again badly… For some reason, I only ever feel like fainting in St. Andrew’s Cathedral.

The cherry trees along View St. are out in force! Preeeeeettttttyyyyy!

We also had an even better concert than yesterday. Lovely piano. Lovely dancers. Fun music.

My birthday present from Aunt Kelly was a lovely golden necklace, which she was anxious to know if I liked. Well, she’s the one with good taste in my extended family! Anyhow, I think I must be part pixie because I took one look at it and squealed “Shiiiiiiiineeeeeeeey!” I will now wear it for as long as I remember to put it on in the morning – I’m really bad with jewelry. I have a giant boxful of mostly nice stuff – well, it’s a box full of little boxes of nice stuff, so there’s not as much as you might think – and I hardly ever wear any of it.

Grandma said someone asked her if I was going to Quebec so I could start legally drinking. :p -> Blah. She gave me a lovely watercolour of me playing with a kite on a beach near Picton – can’t remember which… – taken when I was about eleven or something. Beautiful! It’s nicely framed, too, so I can hang it up right away. Right now it’s on my (violin) music stand, making an impression.

My brother gave me the miniature I wanted to make Idril out of (yaaaaaaaaaay) and the last volume of Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind, which was very sad since half the main characters died finally – and they weren’t really the ones I was expecting. Also two of my pairings were incorrect, but oh well.

Mom and Dad gave me Sauron Defeeted – sorry, Defeated, which promises to be interesting.

Also, they gave me the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) and I just finished watching the whole thing (more on that tomorrow).

Lastly, they gave me Twilight Princess for GC! EEEEEE! The anticipation of the weekend is so delightful!
