Prince Reyson of Fire Emblem 9 Trail of Blue Flames! Not as good as the last picture, but decent I guess. I ran out of page so that’s why his left wing is cut off. It feels kind of flat to me… not enough shading. One thing I’m happy about is the use of the white of the page to get his tunic white enough.
Wheeehooo!! We’re spraying silverfish killing stuff around the house! Not perhaps as permanent or as thorough as spraying before we move in, but it seems to be effective. Yaaaaynnrrrggrrrrnnnrrrrr(growly mouth noises) I hate silverfish. They’re hideous and freaky and destructive.
Today I played in the VCM’s Music Discovery Camp first week finale! It was tons of fun. I need to get the Oliver piano music book now. Yah! Sierra is an excellent actress, as well. She just needs to not rattle off her lines as if they’re something she memorized. Even when she does that, she puts expression into it (she was Dodger in the Oliver scene) but it goes by too quickly. But she did fine at the concert. Her little brother was Oliver, and he did pretty good too. Actually everyone did very well, but Sierra and Andrew (the king in The King and I scene, Daddy in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang scene) were the best. The camp was lots of fun, and Subway makes good sandwiches, and I got lots of practice done in between rehearsals, and my brother even came to the concert (in the hopes of seeing Nii-sama, ’tis true, who said he came close to being a student supervisor… the student supervisor we had was the daughter of my brother’s piano teacher).
Oh, but the only really bad thing to write about is that now I’m 138 lbs. Ugh. I drew a cariacature (spelling?) of myself last night and it made me feel somewhat better. I think technically I’m still just on the heavy side of healthy, but I’m nowhere near ‘fit’ or ‘active’ or ‘really healthy all around’. So I feel even more incentive to exercise… once school starts, of course!
Oh, when I moved my bed to vacuum diatomaceous earth out from under it, I found the list of organ pieces that L wanted me to play last December… well, at least we know where it ended up! I’m learning new stuff now anyway, (including BWV565) so I’ll play that next time we go to a church. Maybe St. Dunstan’s! They have a nice organ that you can hardly tell is digital except for the stark lack of pipes!
They got a veeeery good looking couple to play Genaro and Amelia Luca in the latest Sherlock Holmes…
Quiz/Poll Questions: D’you think it’s worth using Javascript to keep the sidebar links updated? How about the category buttons? Who uses those? Would you miss them if I took them away? How about if I just put a link to the specific category page? Is there any way to update the linking mechanism so that for picture n, the next button will automatically link to picture n+1? What do you think would be good Kalmaeiric words for ‘north’ and ‘land’?
E-mail me the answers to any or all of these questions elfinessewebsiteathotmaildotcom! No hurry; you won’t see any of the proposed changes for many months. I work slowly. And the last I’ll be thinking about myself, so it’s covered even if nobody has anything specific to input there.
Um, I guess I felt like drawing Fire Emblem 9 people. Imaginary cookies to people who can identify everyone of the Greil Mercenaries, and the Laguz in the back. Hints: the person lying on the ground has ‘hungry’ written over her, like so:
Um… I decided to draw the herons singing again. Leanne’s hair is slightly better, but not much. And I don’t like either of their expressions. The squiggly line down the centre is supposed to be there; it shows they’re not as directly face-to-face as the picture would suggest.
Leanne and Reyson in portrait, except that I didn’t know how to draw Leanne! So her hair is completely wrong. Darn. But Reyson, on the other hand, my brother believes good enough to pass as official art – after colouring. …I don’t think so, but it’s a pretty good drawing of him. And I rather like drawing wings, even if I have no idea how to do it properly.
Now I turned my attention back to the wonderfully fantastical game Fire Emblem 9: Trail of Blue Flames. By this time I had gotten to the part where Reyson, the heron prince, was betrayed by his friend Naesala, king of crows, and sold to the human (FE9 polite: beorc) Duke Tanas, Bishop Oliver. Reyson, despite being, as all herons are, frail-boned, also has a temper so he bashes Tanas in the face when he finds out! I always liked drawing the shape-shifters (laguz).
