Lisztomania

I have to say… sweatdrop. Y’know, that anime convention that an embarrassed or exasperated character has a large rain-drop shape on the back/side of their head.

This picture is a long-running joke at school… One of my friends just loves the movie “Lisztomania”. Which begins straight away with something I don’t want to see. Apparently a metronome is involved, and then I stopped listening to the preview discussion. So, this friend holds a party once a year where everyone (everyone interested) all goes to watch it. lx-sama once asked if I was going, and I replied “I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty screwdriver first”. That inspired him to a fit of that deep chuckling giggling that sets everyone in the area either giggling too or backing away slowly. It’s a little sinister. Very gratifying, personally. A different time, I told him I would come if my head was swathed in so much duct tape I could hear nothing and see nothing. I think. Correct me if I’m wrong, guys? Anyway, there was some talk of duct tape and eyeballs, but I don’t really remember what happened. All I really remember is this picture, in which Flairé kindly did swath my head in duct tape and let lx-sama drag me off hyperly. Hooray for excited chibis. You can see I misspelled Liszt the first time. Pickles. This picture did amuse lx-sama greatly, so that objective was accomplished.

Sort of mixed media; Flairé is in pencil because he’s the most realistic. I love Flairé. He takes such good care of me.

lx has shiny hair.

Some of these lovely ladies are either immortal or underage, y'know...

Some of these lovely ladies are either immortal or underage, y’know… or both

So, this picture is a concept that’s been in my head for a long, long time. It’s that the Legend of Zelda series is full of beautiful (or not) women, and they all love Link, while Link the Hero himself only sees Princess Zelda and his duty to her and the kingdom. So, I’m afraid that I did a terrible hack-job on this picture, but I’ll just count it a sketch for now. He’s supposed to be walking down a road (in a city, in my head, but for some reason it’s in the countryside heading towards a crimson-gold sunset. And there are supposed to be absolute crowds of women lining the sides of the road, not just the scattered figures above, each of them named or nameless NPCs that love Link and are ultimately disappointed, while he follows his sun, his light, the very thought of Princess Zelda.

Self with wings

Ooh, sweet! A haircut and contacts AND wings!

Ooh, sweet! A haircut and contacts AND wings!

This is a picture I drew soon after getting a haircut and a long time after this picture, which has shorter hair and wings. After drawing the big figure, I realized that I had glasses, so I drew the top head to clarify for my satisfaction what I looked like, sort of kind of. I suspect a great deal of the whole picture is stylized. Nice wings. I wish I did have those.

Fire Emblem Real Life colour

Nice humans! Yay!

Nice humans! Yay!

The colour version of this picture which got sent to people as a weird birthday party invitation. L looks awesome; lx says his boots look furry, (they’re not) and MG likes his sword. And Claire likes her pegasus, which really I just coloured in by erasing the sky. Hehheh.

I am ignorant. I realized that this morning. Oh dear. In other news, I am more confused as to the plot of Phantom of the Opera than I ever was before.

Ahhh! I can't stand this colour scheme!

Ahhh! I can’t stand this colour scheme!

This is another Photoshop colouring experiment that I did one day – can’t remember when. I started with the head and went from there. I soon found that the hands of the original were not very helpful… it was a struggle to get them to look half-decent and in the end I think I just redrew them. Tunic skirt looks pathetic, but the torso looks quite good. Too bad it’s obscured by the blubbery tentacle thing. Took me a while to figure out how to make it transparent in the way that I wanted it to be. Navi came out well. The background was a lazy cop-out, but hey, I didn’t use a reference in the first place so I just did something more interesting than blank walls.

Thomas, Me, and Darth Vader

Darth Vader can be scary

Darth Vader can be scary

An old picture I forgot to post. Ummmm… this is one of my violinist friends, a young fellow named Thomas… he likes skiing and cars as well. The set-up from this picture came from Star Wars: Battlefront II, in which one of the 501st troopers says in his diary that Lord Vader… used his Force powers… to find out where the missing Death Star plans were?? I don’t even remember what the wording was, but suffice to say it sounded pretty dubious. The Force doesn’t ‘locate’ inanimate objects. I’m pretty sure. So, in this totally hypothetical situation, I’m making fun of Darth Vader and Thomas, my audience, is rather distracted by my imminent demise. And yeah, I’m flapping my hands around my head like bunny ears or something. I don’t know. It’s my “I’m Darth Vader and I’m crazy!” moves. That makes no sense. But it makes me laugh. So it stays. I’m pretty happy with this picture cause Vader is recognisable! Thomas isn’t, but that’s my fault. It looks pretty good coloured, too, though I just did a quick job.
