carlnmarkiconHappy Valentine’s Day! About six months late… This is Salir, I guess, and Sain in the corner, and I drew it for Valentine’s Day. Salir’s body is too big for her head, and that’s why she looks wierd. I’m not sure… I think Salir’s hair is shorter somehow… I never have a clear picture of what she looks like, just how she acts. I’m not publishing (or writing) The Mask, the fanfic about her, though. Ever.

Right now I’m writing an e-mail, filling out a survey for Collegium, watching some other site, reading about the organ reform movement, and working on this. Hmm, I should start writing out my quartet parts into ScoreWriter at the same time! And unloading my camera – took new silly pictures of something today, to do with ‘Star Wars’ and ‘action’ and ‘figures’ – oh, all right: Darth Vader is threatening to beat Han Solo over the head with a green Ep1 droid, and Pilot Luke and Pilot Biggs’ binoculars don’t work mainly because they are blasters pointed into their eyes (cracks up) – and make a new MD, and start writing my next story, and finish my sixth or so page of Chibiness… I can multitask when I feel like it!

Those horses are seriously undernourished. What are they, ponies? And don't get me started on the state of those men's legs!

firetempleavatarThis picture is of Kent and Sain, on deformed horses. I never have any idea what size horses are supposed to be. Epona in Twilight Princess is gloriously massive, but this is pre-TP, and horses aren’t my speciality anyway. In fact, this is a pretty bad picture.

And seriously, I didn’t know how to draw knees consistantly, if at all. When I find out, I ‘ll let you know.

Anyway, hooray for Kent and Sain!

Also, they’re wielding the opposite weapons of their character art on purpose.

I’m not doing much right now. This new keeping in touch thing is interesting, except that, seeing how many friends my friends have, I’m suddenly shy of them. Unless they talk to ME, in which case perspective vanishes and I feel less like an insignificant bug. It’s like Thomas, for instance, is a scary person online. He doesn’t seem familiar at all.

Yep.

And for some reason I want to start every post with “Yo, dude!” now. Ugh.

No stories/poetry/fanfiction will be forthcoming for a while. I’m sure you’re all breathing a sigh of relief, but I just don’t want to do it right now.

I’m thinking seriously of getting an iPod and a laptop. What would you dear readers recommend?

I’m thinking of the 4G iPod nano – nice memory size, no video (unnecessary for me).

Laptop – must be able to run the latest version of Photoshop (which I also want to buy). Some bells and whistles would be funky, but in the end webcams and even screen size don’t matter. The smaller the screen, the easier to carry? So far c’est tout m’egal, which I think means ‘it’s all the same to me’. Over $1000 and I will freak, or at least not take your advice, so keep that cap in mind. Enough less that I can buy a tablet (which I haven’t researched at all, so I don’t know if this is realistic) and that would be fabulous.

I’ve got some stuff to do.

Like, I’ve got much more important research to do (coughletourneaucough).

pegasusiconSain, his wife Salir, and their teenaged son Alan, who ends up as Roy’s red-headed cavalier. Lance, his best buddy, is Kent and Fiora’s son, so everything works out amazingly neatly. Alan doesn’t look much like himself, though. Salir, actually, looks a lot like the ‘generic village girl’ I was beginning to model her after in looks. She’s also wearing a longer dress because she doesn’t need to mess with boys’ heads anymore. And I’m bad at drawing hands.

Friday I don’t remember what happened. Too bad, too.

glorriveniconAnother version of Heroes All! With Lyn, too, because she’s so cool. The strange people here are (L-R) Mengil, who was an evil Warhammer Dark Elf who was rather handsome in the White Dwarf article about him. So now he’s a good guy because I say so. Then there’s Legolas, then Kusko, the skinny dude, and Kurama sitting on the ground, explaining botany to Jim from Treasure Planet and his rocket-powered skateboard, and then Sain is sitting on a stump, chatting with the two Hylians: Raven and Link III, and Sain’s taken off his hip-plates. And Lyn is posing because she’s good with a sword.

I bought Tsubasa 6, too! Fai is painfully funny when he’s drunk. Poor Fai.

gandalficonIt’s Link! That other guy is Sain, because I was going to use it to draw a gmax (3D program) model of Sain and use him to make an animated version of a Dire Straits song. He’s playing drums now. Most everybody else is still the same, but I think Eliwood took over bass guitar and Kent went over to the extra keyboards. Then to relax myself I did a cute little scribble of Link giving the victory sign.

More blabble tomorrow. Gwen and I played at a garden show today. I play solo tomorrow. We should watch Marriage of Figaro again… Kevin is intrigued by the way I described the ending: “Then everybody says “Oh, pardon us!” and the Count goes “No no no no no,” and the Countess says “Let me plead for them…” and everybody goes “Gasp! It’s the Countess!” and the Count has to launch into that lovely “Contessa, perdono”, and of course she forgives him because she loves him, and then everyone says “Now forget all that, let’s party!”" He’s seen it, he just doesn’t remember.

Once again, don’t trust the links on each page, but you can trust the galleries. They work.
