fireflykayakicon  As usual, today’s picture is down in the chapter; but today, there are two pictures! I drew an illustration for the beginning of the chapter and the end of the chapter. And for all that I couldn’t remember what people were talking about and I had to go and restart the game and play it again to find out. Oh, my background for the second one is laaaaame. The first one I don’t think is too bad, though.

I’ve been working on the last chapters of The Tactician and the Jewel (sooooo close!! Chapter 9 really is finished now and I’ve started the outline of Chapter 10) but I took some time out to write the Rigwald chapter. Bit rushed, perhaps, but it gets the plot across, yeah? I hope it’s not too boring. …You know, I have a scene in which the ‘hero’ of TTatJ’ is not present – and I discovered how much he overshadows everything. I got to spotlight some minor characters! Yay!

Choir last night – interesting stuff we’re doing this year. Lots and lots of Hebrew.

School tomorrow! Nurnga, I wanted to do more things. Well, that’s how it goes… time to practice piano.

knightsrideicon A small sketch of where I (gasp) replace Seth and co. with Syrene!! (down here towards the end of the chapter)I think it makes sense, personally, and considering I already wrote Eirika’s Story and have most of the characters in there, especially Seth, I needed to use other characters to provide emphasis. I’m gonna miss Kyle and Forde, though. They were wasted on Eirika’s Story. But they needed to go with her. No more silly banter from the social knights, but Syrene is here to save the day! I like her. I pair her with Innes, though that’s probably so uncanon that people are shooting me dirty looks now. I’m not sure what to do with the other Frelians, though. I don’t find them the most interesting characters, actually. I’ll figure out something.

I drew some pictures today. A marker portrait of Flaer (it failed somehow, though his sleeve and the outline of his profile is reeeeeaaaaally nice…) and a short comic bit of fanart in which Flairé meet Zemi Dreigiau. I think I’m getting my addiction under control. I finished reading Darkstar, for one. Now I’m re-reading Wayrift now that I know who is who and who they used to be (KiiiiiiNaaaaaaa Tuuuuu!! : (   I miss him as a good guy). I’m torn between favourite characters. Aur? Tsu? Zem? KiNa? One of those four, anyway. Also I cut out some ‘rivers’ for Warhammer and will plaster them up tomorrow. And I will shopping for a dowel rod. What do I need a dowel rod for? Well, it will be useless without some sheet plastic and paint so don’t hold your breath. And I’m torn between doing the ‘easy’ thing and pinning the waist of Zela’s tunic and the ‘hard’ thing and making a system to lace it up smooth and tight, the way it ought to be. : P Again, I’ll figure out something.

pegasusiconThis picture is of another Fire Emblem 8 couple that is probably pretty uncanonical: Innes and Syrene. I wrote a story to go with this, too. Ta-da. Innes’ clothes are terrible, and Syrene’s hair. And they didn’t fit together quite right. And Innes’ steel bow is pretty hacky, and I’m not sure what happened to his quiver. Syrene’s armour was a little better.

First choir practice tonight. Some people wearing dark clothes on a dark road almost got run over (by us). Don’t wear dark clothes on a dark road. Nick is driving three people to and from choir. Aren’t we energy efficient. Anyway, the pieces are difficult, but perhaps not as impossible as first thought. I was very tired because of moving stuff in my room, but I’m glad there was no Collegium. That was very helpful for energy.

My shelves only fit in one position and place in my room, which is rather annoying. They are now bolted to the wall to prevent the death of me in an earthquake.

zelaavatarsm2This is undoubtedly one of my favourite – no, my favourite Fire Emblem 8: The Sacred Stones pictures. It’s called The Prince’s Despair after one of my favourite songs from the game, which is the desperate, longing, turmoil of Prince Lyon’s theme, except when he’s been taken over by the evil Demon King. The music inspired a slightly different picture, though.

In this picture, Lyon has been dumped by the Demon King (hopefully with his soul intact) and now fights alongside Eirika, Ephraim, and co. Although the scale is massively off (just look at Altha, Seth’s horse) the detail I put into some of this makes me feel good. And Lyon looks like Lyon. He’s the one in front, with long hair and a spell-book. Behind him is Eirika, and behind her is Ephraim, who is somehow bigger than she is, and behind him is a distorted Seth on a distorted Altha, and in the back corner are Prince Innes and Syrene the Frelian pegasus commander. Ephraim’s head looks good.

I love that music. Too bad the actual theme part is all of one line long. The rest is just disturbing chordal sequences. Yes, I think the music in FE 8 has a higher hit-to-filler ratio than FE 7, in that there are about half the number of songs, but more of them are memorable and exciting/beautiful/thrilling/on my favourite list.

At Kevin’s insistance I’m also working hard on Ceniro’s movie again, and painting models.
