The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Episode Two cover

drawn Aug 29, ’10

(648)

Whee! New project #2! Click for large version!

I’m going with a cell-shaded look because I think once I get the hang of it, it will be faster than the painterly look, like what I used in the angel picture or the Ceniro at Sunset picture. Although it was a pain colouring that mountain, I’ll tell you that. I have no idea what I’m doing and for the random wolf I used no reference.

Oh yeah, so the people on the left… I should just tell you they are not to scale with the people to the right. Organist is only as tall as I am, so it’s natural that Flairé should tower over him, but the girl with the blonde/purple hair should be at least 6’6″ and she doesn’t look that. But they are not to scale because they are not as important. : )

Is the pink arrow okay? I thought it added some much needed incongruity to the scene. Also Flairé probably should be holding a pink marker but I thought that would be over the top.

Organist may not look an awful lot like Organist yet, but I have… 71 pages to try and get that right THIS EPISODE. Then there’s the next episode.

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures will update every Sunday as long as I have pages! Probably late Sunday night… try Monday mornings if you’re lazy and want to be safe.

And check back tomorrow for something nearly as cool, imo.

          Leslie: Was it a dream? I could have sworn I fell asleep in the practice room… Look, there’s my backpack and my music books, and my keys…

          She goes to look out the window of her dorm, and then turns away to her computer (Faceborg!! j/k). But a mysterious smile still hangs in the reflections in the window…

THE LASTEST PAGE!! I’m actually feeling a little bit sad that I don’t have to do it anymore. The weekly scramble to draw and colour pages on Sunday… continuing a story I don’t even know if anyone reads or cares about or finds interesting… but that’s okay! A new story MIGHT start in September! Anyway, I’ve been told by other artists this is completely normal. And in fact I’m not that sad. It’s nice to finish something! I have a lot of things I want to finish!

The next thing I am planning to finish is Ephraim’s Story. So perhaps you will see some chapters of that going up. I have to be careful because I have Provincials to practice for. And after that organ to practice like crazy.

I also want to work on character bio portraits (Flaer’s is soooo hot – but he’s the only one I’ve done!) and character sculptures. And play Marth’s game. Whoo.

Also I have completely fallen in love (again) with Eric Beaudry’s voice. I’d marry that voice. srsly.

          Leslie never forgot how that music made her feel – all excited and relaxed at the same time, as the songs grew more and more lyrical, peaceful, and happy. But she could never remember how it sounded. (falls asleep on chair…)

And music happens with some trite totally cliché’d voiceover narrator. The colouring went better this week, but I coloured in some of the wrong squares in the blanket so I had to fix it in Photoshop. Boring page, I know. But come Sunday for the shocking conclusion!

Flairé: The conclusion is shocking?

Yes! It is! Weren’t you there?

Flairé: I… yeah…

While our resident stalker goes to recover his memory-

Flairé: Hey!

-we’ll talk about something else. Actually there is not much else to talk about. My brother’s French course is singularly useless for teaching French to people who don’t already know, like, grammar and stuff, which my brother doesn’t.

Also my soul got eaten by FFIV and now I can’t listen to any other music. And I keep prowling the Wayrift websites in case someone comments and I have a response.

Also I have light in my room again! My burned out lightbulbs (75% of the light in my room) got replaced!

Also Philosophy is strange. Ugh.

Also my piano teacher is happy with my progress the last few weeks but she doesn’t think (or want me to?) I’ll become an organist ever. Bah.

Also I dreamed I was studying music theory with a friend while sitting on a couch, and I kept leaning over to see what he wrote, but I guess he didn’t like that because he pushed me off the couch. : P

          Flaria: And now, time for some music!

          Flairé: Yeah!

          Flairé: And I’ll need my pipe, and my… whistle? and those drums, and the guitar…

          Flaria: wouldja shut up for two seconds together?

Ever get the feeling they’re siblings? LOL. So yeah, now they’re going to play some music. Not much else to say. Except that for some reason when I was inking my hand was sliding all over the place so there are some weird smudges everywhere and I’m not really happy with anyone’s face except for Flairé and Leslie’s in the bottom panel. And Flairé’s supposed to have a stool, but I forgot to draw it. Oh well. He’ll have one on Wednesday. Also, this page has answered a question that many people – me – were asking about Deerfleet – does Deerfleet have pants? The answer seems to be YES HE DOES. Mystery solved!

Omigosh, only two more pages left! These last days have just whizzed by. I’ll be done soon! And then I shall start doing other things, like Sculpey and learning how to draw. Wowee.

Also I am totally in love with FFIV. I listened to its music for about three hours last night while messing around with Zazzle. I now have three Zazzle shirts, and I’m going to add more… I’m going to add one of the site logo. I’m also going to put the site logo as buttons and things, as I’m going to do a more circular version. That means repainting the silver, though. But I have a tablet! This shall be easier than last time!

Actually I feel like doing some fanfiction. So after I write a bunch of paragraphs on Dave Hume I shall play some FE8.

In other news, we have lost our dear, beloved conductor Janos Sandor, who just retired from 15 years of conducting the UVic and GVYO orchestras. He died of cancer on Friday. He was always cheerful and upbeat, and an amazing musician. Everyone loved him. We will miss him terribly.

          Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.

          Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)

           Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.

           Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.

           Jen: That’s right!

Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.

So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.

Hey, I’m in a guild in Guild Wars! This is pretty exciting news. I was going to try and find the Wayrifters, but this other group found me first. : P They’re a pretty friendly bunch, especially the kind lv20 Elementalist who recruited me. I was playing Zela, who had just gotten to Post-Searing Ascalon, and I’d done maybe two quests and was regrouping at the Abbey/Sanitorium place when this guy just walked up to me and started talking to me. Heh. I took some convincing, too. I was going to make a guild for the Adhemlenei, if I didn’t join the Wayrifters (which I would have done), but who would join it? My poor brother has a guild of one. Go join his guild, all you nice rp-ing people who don’t have a guild yet! …I don’t remember the name of it, sorry. So, the upshot is that now all my chars have a cloak in black with crimson flames along the bottom edge and a silver phoenix spread across the back. Oh yeah, so after some hanging out with the elementalist and his warrior friend, the elementalist and I went for a walk up to Piken Square. I have to say it’s pretty easy to get around with three level 20s (he brought his heroes). I’m not sure how good it is for stat growth, but it’s very nice of these people to help me level and explore despite their having done it probably dozens of times before.

Will post screens later in the week. I have to get ready for Philosophy class now!
