Doodles, year 2, part 1

« ... »

MASSIVE picture upload today. In fact, this is just the first part. Just my Theory/Composition book. More tomorrow.

 dump2008a

A girl’s hair, Theory class, Sep 18, ’08. She was sitting in front of me and it looked nice.

 dump2008b

Nieron Lyrestan sha Lilemlen, Theory class, Sep 29, 2008. Not a good representation of Lyrestan.

 dump2008c

Wet Flairé, Theory class, Sep 29, 2008. A pretty decent representation of a wet Flairé.

 dump2008d

Daneel Olivaw, Theory class, Oct 5, 2008. My favourite character from The Caves of Steel and sequels, by Isaac Asimov. He’s a robot! With genuine emotions, sorta!

 dump2008e

Hair, Theory class, Oct 9, 2008. Some shiny guy on the left (I have no idea who, could be lx-sama, could be… some video game hero, I don’t know). The girl is Juno Eclipse from Star Wars: Teh Force Unleashed, and the blank face is no one in particular, and the last guy is supposed to be Ceniro. Some distracting bits were edited out of the scan.

 esgalwenglorfdump2008

Moar doodles from the same class. Flairé’s head at an experimental angle (failed), Esgalwen, and Glorfindel. I think. Also edited for clarity. And yes, this is what most of my notes look like. Messy messy! And I was recommended not to go to the Darmstadt New Music Festival because apparently they’re very picky about whether you call something ‘serial’, ‘dodecaphonic’, or ’12-tone’. Not that I’d appreciate the music much anyway!

 dump2008g

Scratch (Blackberry), Apple, and Scratch-son. And a cloak. Theory class, Oct 20, 2008. The cloak is from planning my costume. The other people are a family (from the Griffon-lands) spawned from a stray joke of lx-sama’s. He asked me to make a character named X-ray (Ekssré), so I did. The guy with the big sword is Kess, Blackberry, but he adds a bit and calls himself Ekess, Scratch. His wife’s name is Apple (going with the fruit theme here). His baby son’s name ought to be Kessré Blackberry-son, but since his father usually goes by Ekess, he eventually grows up to call himself Ekessré. So thar. : P Thank goodness I wrote a bunch of this down long ago in Excel.

 dump2008h

Here’s the not-so-good version, done the day before.

 dump2008i

Nieron Mathaning sha Lilemlen, Theory class, Oct 23, 2008. Ohmigosh, this is the BEST picture of Mathaning I’ve ever done. It has both pen and pencil in it and… I just love him. I mean, it. Not sure what he’s doing with his feet there, but his boots are shiny. <3

 dump2008j

AndrewP, Flaer, Theory class, Oct 27, 2008. This followed a page of composition notes notes about how to make the hood and gauntlets (and sword) of my costume. Andrew nearly fell asleep in the desk beside me, so I drew him. And then I drew Flaer for the heck of it.

 dump2008k

Cranky half-dressed Flairé, Theory class, Nov 3, 2008. I dunno. Man-practice. (Flairé: *facepalms*) With three different left hands.

 dump2008l

Esgalwen, same class. Similar to how she is drawn on my D&D sheet from Cedric’s campaign. …We should totally play that sometime, but one member is moving to the Interior in a month and Ced himself is not sure where he’s going to end up living-wise. But Esgalwen is pretty. Though her character sheet has a ton more junk on her character design.

 dump2008m

Heads, Theory class, Nov 13, 2008. I can’t remember who the guy on the left is. Not at all. He looks straight-laced. Always a good thing, usually. The guy on the right is supposed to be Ceniro.

 dump2008n

Link, Theory class, Nov 24, 2008. Check out those shoulders.

 dump2008o

Nieron Menad Faeré (sic?) sha Lilemlen, Theory class, Nov 27, 2008. Looks definitely less prissy than he looks now. Maybe I should change him back.

 dump2008p1dump2008p2

Flairé and Leslie, Theory class, Dec 1, 2008. Big Flairé on a stump (yay!) and little Flairé (fail). Also Leslie, because she’s pretty. But I didn’t do her very well.

 dump2008q1dump2008qdump2008q2

Dooooodles, same class. Standing person is… Esgalwen. You can tell by the necklace. Random hair is Gauthicus from True Magic (hasn’t appeared yet) and on the right Navi is telekinesising Link’s hat. Link looks Japanese.

 dump2008r

???, Theory class, Jan 5, 2009. This year! Flairé is sleeping, and then… somebody’s eye. I dunno.

 dump2008s

Heads, same class. Flairé??? at a tricky angle, not very good at all. The fuzzy thing is… I have no idea what that thing is. Then there’s Sangwine, looking pretty, and Rana, looking squished. And Naeri.

 dump2008t

Bodies, Composition class, Jan 8, 2009. Just some figures.

 dump2008u

“Can’t draw today”, Theory class, Jan 15, 2009. I don’t know who any of these people are.

 dump2008vdump2008w

Flairé, with wings, Theory class, Jan 19, 2009. Flairé, sporting his strap-on wings, or rather trailing them on the ground, because he’s… he looks slightly depressed. Awww. The angel-y guy I don’t know who he is. Also some wierd head on the next page.

 dump2008x

John Cage, Theory class, Jan 29, 2009. AAAAAHHHHHH IT’S JOHN CAGE LOOK OUT!!! He showed up in a slide the teacher was using, so I drew him. : P Also this page has the word GARHYA in big letters at the top, so I must have been unhappy about something.

 dump2008y

Flairé in snow, same class. Yeah, I must have been really depressed about something. Don’t know what, though. Lack of a love life? Too cold/terrible weather? Not enough sleep? …I don’t remember that time. (who wants to remember theory class, anyway? :)

 dump2008z1dump2008z2

Kalmei, Theory class, Feb 2, 2009. Flairé is napping, I think in his sister’s arms, at the top. That’s supposed to be Esgalwen, not related to the scene beside her, but she’s not very good. Down at the bottom of the page are Flairé and Flaer. This page also has a short note about kalmaeirin music: “Kalmaei – searching for the most beautiful sounds to express the beauty they see in the world – music is more expressive than words even music with words – which actually just makes things easier to express but wordless just as deep. They don’t prefer one to another on average.”

 dump2008aadump2008ab

Heads, Theory class, Mar 5, 2009. Flairé, soldier-boy, Rana, Link, and Flaer. Soldier-boy is a fellow student…

 dump2008ac

I don’t know who, Theory class, Mar 16, 2009.

 dump2008addump2008ae

Heads, Theory class, Mar 19, 2009. I think these are all supposed to be Lyrestan, except for the tiny ugly Ceniro head at the top and the Kylyralessa head at the bottom.

 dump2008af

WHAT, Theory class, Mar 30, 2009. Uh…….. I don’t know. I really don’t know. Tattoo designs? XP I think that’s supposed to be me.

 dump2008agdump2008ahdump2008ai

Heads, Theory class, April 2, 2009. Gullac (?) at the top of the page. Mathaning in the middle. Marteth (lookin’ good) at the bottom.

And then I have half the book still blank, with a few pages devoted to love-sick poetry and the structure of kalmaeirin language and music at the back. The poetry is awful. But that’s normal for love-sick poetry.

 

What, you’re still here? Wow. Well, here’s what I’ve been up to the last few days…

TUESDAY I LEARNED THE SECRET TO MY PLAYING PIANO. I have to keep my rib cage open, just like singing, and relax everything, and everything magically sounds BETTER. WOOT. I will be practicing all the spare minutes I have, believe me. Except for the times when I’m looking up Lieder for MUS 421. Blah. And eating. Drat eating. A little. So I’m very motivated on fixing my two problems. Yayness!

If you search ‘Adhemlenei’ on Google, you find… some very interesting things. You find: Adhemlenei (of course). About Adhemlenei. Some sort of cache of one of my posts on another site, apparently hitting up for free ‘Warhammer’ ad credits. Whatever. Elfinessé, the old site. Other things include stuff that I’ve linked to (which automatically puts a post and link to Adhemlenei on those sites – like I Can Has Cheezburger) and sites that say ‘Adhemlenei has been registered as a domain name’. But fourth down the list is a wierd link that says ‘games workshop >> Blog Archive >> Ephraim’s Story: Chapter 1′. And I have no idea what this is from or what it’s for (it looks like a bot… >_> <_<) but if you click on it (I believe it’s harmless) it seems to have taken my post for Chapter 1: Unbroken Heart, run it though several (bad) translators, put it back into English, sprinkled around the words ‘conspicuously demeaning conspicuously’, and stuck it up among… random other things with the same treatment. It has no relationship with Games Workshop at all. HYSTERICAL. Probably the funniest thing you read today, even without knowing what I wrote in the original chapter, unless you go and read The Eye of Argon MST, which is not suitable for people under 13 years old.

I also did Rana’s character page, except for the image, which I haven’t made yet. I would like to thank the Sygnus Figment Registry for their excellent character page layouts, which I shamelessly copied from.

And I went to salsa last night, which was outside as the usual space was being used by someone else. They had some iPod speaker thingies, and Jon had his iPod, so there was music outside under the stars tents! The advanced group learned some difficult new moves, and I’m starting to understand Cetenta, but I’m definitely doing something wrong with my arms in Cocoon still. I should move easily into the enchufla, instead of awkwardly flailing around after the ducking turn trying to get my arms in front of me. Sam is very nice about it, though. And helping Matthew with Cetenta helped me to remember it properly. And afterwards, on the bus, Anna and I talked about Latin because Latin is awesome. The only thing was that I got huge blisters while dancing and limped all the way home after the bus. But it was worth every step. ^_^7

yasashisaniicon This was the Christmas that my brother gave me inking pens!! I immediately tried them out by drawing Christmas presents for my favourite webcomics, starting with LinT. So Sangwine’s legs are a little short and the lines are rather sketchy. (I did use a pencil first, btw.) But that’s okay! I’m not sure what’s happening, but it’s supposed to be funny.

I got a TON of organ music out from the library yesterday! I’m so excited! I’m going to play in the local RCCO Pipes and Goblins concert at St. Mary’s, I think, in Oak Bay, I think, and if you want to know what I’m playing, well, it’s a pretty epic piece but you’ll have to come to find out! Or ask me. I will tell you if you ask me.

I also taught an organ student yesterday. Both highly stressful and less stressful than I expected.

I’m going to be volunteering at the Rueda booth at UVic ClubsDays in the SUB from 9:00-10:30 this morning, so come down and check it out! Rueda is awesome. Though I can’t do Cetenta either as lead or follow. And afterwards, in free dance, Jon showed me how to lead a little in ‘regular’ (couple) salsa. But it’s wierd leading Jon. Usually he leads. And he’s very good at it.

Doodles

« ... »

Today’s post is going to be a bit different. It is vastly long, and covers a whole year of doodles. Actual artwork will be presented in its regular order afterwards, but as I didn’t do too much during the 2007-2008 school year we should be finished with it within a week or two.

theorydoodles

Doodles drawn during an undated date in theory class. Must have been early on, first couple weeks in September or something. Here is the first appearance of Crhaigarrc, eldest of dragons. MG’s head is in the top left, saying “Hi! I like Aristotle”, but it appears that Crhaigarrc does not like Aristotle. TT_TT7 There are also some aborted eyeballs, a really tiny Kylyralessa staring up at Crhaigarrc, an elven shield, and some idiot who wants to play double basses that are as big as possible. He’s about to get his wish. Sort of.

Or an angel woman. Something graceful, anyway.

Flairé has a caterpillar. Which was once part of his lip but it turned out bad so I scribbled it out and turned it into something else. On the left is a female heart from L. Thanks, L!

And on that light note, I’m off to clean my desk, teach my brother how to play Cat’s Cradle, watch another ep of Red Dwarf, practice piano, teach my bro organ, and somewhere in there have lunch.

Beware; during the 2008-2009 school year I doodled almost every day!

sorencharlotteiconLinT! And now for the actual fanart the last two pictures were leading up to! I am really pleased with this, even though I tried drawing eyes at least twice and each time it spoiled it, so I left them out which is something I’ve done before, or since then, or something. I think they still look good. And it’s shaded! Decently! And they might be somewhat in proportion! Oh, yes, I am not ashamed of submitting this to the fanart contest – even though everyone else did much more fantastic art. Aja won, and Andrael placed as well, but I can’t remember which place. Colby hasn’t put up the fanart on her new site yet; she’s still dealing with the archives. Which, of course, are much more important! Whee!

I drew this in the airport for some reason. I can’t have been going to organ camp yet… oh, right, I was going to the Provincials, in… I forget where. Vernon? Prince George? I forget which one, but I’m leaning towards Prince George. If that’s it’s real name. My memory is terrible right now.

Though not for what happened on Saturday! I went to a six (total, with driving time) hour workshop for Via Choralis, and then I played piano for three whole hours like I’m supposed to in the first time since I decided to do three hours, and that’s about it. One person, to whom I mentioned Teen Angst, in a similar way to how I mentioned it a few pages ago, commented on the fact that I haven’t lost my sense of humour. Well, I was very happy right then, I was having a good time, and nothing was going wrong, so I need a sense of humour to make people not sorry for me! No feeling sorry for me! Rahr!

n.b. I am now at Oct 10 in currently, so I will try to fit more time in to catch up. Really. I’ll do several batches a day. I just finished an important assignment, so I might have a little tiny bit more time to work on this. Until the next important assignment comes up…

crownstarsiconColby was having a fanart contest to celebrate LinT getting to 200 pages! I wanted to draw something, since I love LinT so much anyway, but first I needed to know ‘how to draw’ Sangwine etc. So here he is, and I don’t think this is from a particular picture, but Sangwine is rather easy to draw from scratch. I did refer to the comic, though. He’s got thick eyebrows! And pretty hair!

Thursday, I talked with Michael (pianist) about feeling lonely, and since then I’ve come to believe he’s even more right than I thought: he said something like I’m not social in a big group, but I do like talking to somebody. Something like that. And it helped me a lot. Thanks, Michael!

n.b. I’m all the way back here? Goodness, I’ve got to catch up time…
