          Flairé: We’re going to go now, Yoeath. Unless you want to stay longer? (Leslie: Ummm… shrug?) We’re going to meet my sister and get some food. You know!

          Yoeath: Get along with you then, Zelaré.

          Leslie: Ummm… I thought your name was Flairé?

          Flairé: Well, most people call me the son of my father. But she’s friends with my mother, so she calls me the son of my mother.

          Leslie: Ohhhh…

          Flairé: Bit awkward that my little brother calls himself Marteth Hciristial Zelaré, though…

          Leslie: ?

…Confused yet? : P

Well, it’s not important anyway. As you can probably tell, Leslie already knows a good deal about kalmaeirin naming conventions due to hanging around me a lot. o_O7

Next page is in production. Next three pages are in production. At the end of it, something happens, so hang in there!

          Yoeath: Are… you staying long, little Leslie?

          Leslie: I don’t know, Yoeath. I just got here, and I’m so confused…

          Yoeath: That is all right. You little ones often are. Although it is not as if you come here often.

          Leslie: Have many people come here?

          Yoeath: Only a handful. Young Flairé takes care of them when they do.

          Flairé: That’s right! There’s my fudhuindili, her fudhuindon - though I don’t think he remembers much - also a few really random people you wouldn’t know. Like Illi- Esgalwen.

          Leslie: But - oh. Really?

          Flairé: Yup! : )

Yoeath struggles with personal pronouns while Flairé gabbles on about people he knows while still being mysterious. It’s a problem that I, my brother, and Flairé, Gullac, Zela, and Marteth all have. Flowering bushes take forever, and I’m pleased with today’s chibis.

Cheers!

Last night was Natalia’s Rosca party. We had a teeny tiny salsa circle (three couples on about a six foot square of floor) for a couple dances and Ana brought her guitar (and has Gerudo Valley on her iPod! Win!) and it degenerated into Spanish kareoke. I chose Virgen by Los Adolescentes (of course) but could only really handle the refrain. Good times. Today I have a horn rehearsal at my house (ooh, different) and a flute recital to go to and then hanging out time!

Also I think I may have enticed one or two new people to come to salsa. Come, guys! It’s terrific fun! Wednesday nights, 7:30, Vertigo in the SUB! Be there and I’ll show you the moves (actually Sam will show you the moves and I’ll help)!

Duruflé is the best. THE BEST.

          Leslie: What’s that?

          Flairé: A unicorn. Hey, Yoeath!

          Leslie: Awwww! (goes running off - freezes suddenly as Yoeath turns and blinks at her)

          Yoeath: Hello? And what is thy name?

          Leslie: L-leslie

         Yoeath: Thou may call me Yoeath.

         (Flairé: Yo, the current usage says ’you’ is casual, not ‘thou’… Yoeath: *blinks*)

Whoa, those flowers were a little bit of a trick. Aaaaand the background is a bunch of random squares. Whatever.

I’M WALKING BACKWARDS FOR CHRISTMAS - The Tuscan Salami Scandal

…

Over Sea, Under Stone would make a fantastic movie! I read it last night. Now I want to read the other four.

And that is my announcement for today. Yup.

P.S. I am DONE watching FFIV. I watched the whole thing (without sound because someone was trying to narrate - badly) in the SNES version on YouTube. It was a good story, and now I understand Wayrift a lot more. And Darkstar, especially Darkstar. Yay!

P.P.S. Today is both Professor Tolkien’s birthday and Epiphany! Hooray!

Christmas in Colour, 2009, finished!

(570)

And now, the finished picture! Ehhhhh… I actually used the tablet a lot less with the shading/highlighting. I used it a lot for the hair, of course, but the clothes… just didn’t work with that. I need to find a way to change the settings so the harder I press doesn’t affect the width of the stroke, but how dark/light it is.

Parts I’m pleased with: Marteth’s dark purple coat; Gullac’s teal shirt; Bayn’s grey jacket. Coincidentally, they’re the ones you can see least of. : P Tam’s jacket is a close second, though. His shoulders came out half-way decent. I’m also happy with all the hair and Flairé’s face, which was worrying me. Doesn’t he look like his parents? X D

I realize that the ink lines only get in the way now. I think I will experiment in the future with not having hard lines at all. With the tablet, I can do that now!

I’m collecting Candy-cane shards in Guild Wars so I can get the Candy-cane daggers (for Gullac, when I make him) and the Peppermint Scythe (because it’s cool). I already have a Candy-cane spear. I wonder if these weapons break if you use them too much? I don’t think so. But I’m a little nervous about actually using them in battle.

Gullac: I’m not! (sproings around like a frog, brandishing his daggers and laughing insanely)

Dude, I haven’t gotten them yet. Give me another hour.

Christmas 09 - still a colour WIP

Christmas in colour ‘09 - still WIP

hair/eyes coloured Dec 26 ‘09

(568)

Wheeee! Still lovin’ that tablet. And the pillow. The pillow worked splendidly. This is my progress for today. Tomorrow I will colour skin, and the comic, which will go up instead, and then Monday I will do clothes. O_O7 And then I will figure out how to shade all the white areas, like Yoeath. Leslie, Flairé, and Rana’s hair is the best of this picture. I had to restart my computer before my tablet would work, though.

If you want a hilarious story, go buy Star Wars: Battlefront: Elite Squadron for Gameboy DS now, because the story is laughable. Ummmm… it’s the story of this Gary-Stu (= unrealistically perfect) clone who’s half-Jedi because the Kaminoians stole some DNA from a visiting Jedi and plunked it into two clones, and the player is one of them. He fights for the Republic, meets his father, questions his life, gets shot by his Empire-loyal brother, their father Grey tries to convert Empire brother, thinks he succeeds, and totally gets shot in the back. Then, “15 years later”, this Gary-Stu of a clone is in command of Grey Squadron of the fledgling Rebel Alliance. And cloney-boy pwns everything in his path while… a) chasing after the Death Star’s laser, which is en route to the Death Star, and he captures the transport, and… the Death Star still gets a laser. What the heck!? b) defends Yavin Base from Imps who magically show up inside the base, where there are no Rebels, and then finds and destroys a jamming device that magically prevents X-wings from taking off. Again: what the heck?! c) flies into space and is in the trench(!!?!) behind Darth Vader who is behind Luke. My brother just flew into towers and didn’t exactly help. So what kind of support was he supposed to provide? At the moment, he’s on Hoth, where they had to defend the Rebel base from Imps BEFORE going out and engaging them in the icy plains canyons. Where he takes a speeder there and then jumps out to fight on foot.

…

…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA that’s the lamest story I’ve heard in a long time.

Oh, and Kota shows up for a cameo. And we’re pretty sure cloney-boy becomes a Jedi at some point because you can play as a Jedi, I think, in some parts, so the story’s gotta include it somewhere. We’re hoping he dies gloriously because we think he’s a twit. X D    X D    X D    This story is, like, worse than the new Kyle Katarn games. Oh, and there’s a love interest named Sharra. (facepalm) Whatever.
