He’d *have* to be ‘Mr. Serene’ to put up with the chibis…
This is my 2008 entry for the Prime of Ambition fanart contest. It’s of Jerome! I like Jerome. The guys in the back are all chibi versions of the other four characters. Than is greeting his hawk, Audriel is yelling at a stoic Eloise, and Kevin is looking at a butterfly. Not because I think he’s flighty; just because I couldn’t think of anything else for him to do.
EDIT: Today I beat Astebreed on Normal, finally (turns out one must not only make prodigious use of the EX attack, but also of the Dash attack to avoid those pesky red lasers), and then I was so pumped that I ran for a whole kilometre in two sections. : D
Chapter 6: Siblings Abroad Chapter 8: Vortex of Strategy
Chapter 7: The Black Shadow
Kent slipped off his horse and pressed his back to the wall. Sain was on the other side of the entrance. Both knights had their swords in hand, and were only waiting for Ceniro’s signal to slip inside to begin their attack.
Lyn’s Legion had found where Eliwood had rescued Ninian; the bodies of her kidnappers were still lying in the road not far from the fortress they had captured. However, none of them had a ring with them. Matthew, Wil, and Florina had set off, tracking the two men whose tracks led away from the scene of battle.
The companions had been led to a low building in the middle of the forest with no windows and only one door. There was nothing for it but to attack directly. To make matters more uncomfortable, it had begun to rain.
Ceniro took a deep breath. “Let’s go!” Continue reading
And the fact that magenta and silver is a very snappy combination.
Fangirls are awesome? Who the heck told Edgeworth that fangirls are awesome? I guess because in this picture there’s only one of them and she’s a polite, well-behaved tiny little girl. And yeah, it’s the cravat that gets them. This is Edgeworth from the Phoenix Wright games. He’s a prosecuting attorney. He’s getting his own game! Which I cannot play for I have no DS. I should look into that; then I can play PW and FE11. Which is more than just FE11!
EDIT: One of the challenging things about novelizing a turn-based strategy game is that real life isn’t turn-based, so one has to adapt it from a TBS to an RTS. Which everyone probably already realized, but it’s easier to realize when you’re actually writing it. : P
Chapter 5: Blood of Pride Chapter 7: The Black Shadow
Chapter 6: Siblings Abroad
When the last dark mage had fallen to Lucius’s light magic, Ceniro explained to the group that Florina had seen a fortress to the south that seemed to have more members of the same sinister group that had attacked Nils just now, and asked her to lead the way.
There were some high hills and a small river in their way, so they were not as quick to reach the fortress as Ceniro had hoped, but after a few minutes of quick marching, a small castle appeared on their right. It did not seem particularly heavily guarded, but still there were only twelve of them, counting Nils, Ceniro, and Serra, who had no combat abilities.
“I hope this is the right castle,” Wil said as they approached. “It would be kind of silly to attack it only to find it belongs to someone completely unconnected.” Continue reading
…I really can’t think of anything funny to say about him.
Iiiiiiiit’s Marteth! Fourth youngest child of Zela and Flaer, and the eldest of the abducted children, and the proudest. I had a dream in which he looked like that, and so I tried to draw him. He turned out a little too creepy, but he looks really shockingly realistic. As you can see, his hair looks a lot less stupid now. I think he was in a storm or something and that’s where the wind is coming from. I think I used my weighted art pencils…
Finished Ephraim Chapter 4. Fort Rigwald outline is in progress, but I have to wait a little in order to find out what the really important parts are. ‘m looking forward to the Duessal chapter, actually.
And of course I’m still daydreaming about working on Ceniro’s stories. I need to drag out my first draft, though, which is not yet on this computer, and compare it to the five chapters that are on this computer, and then get to work on it… I want to finish Lyn’s story after I finish Ephraim’s story. Then I will work on the potentially awesome Pent’s story.
Who wants to be the pegasus knight?!?
Whoohoo! This is a picture of all my closest friends at the time of drawing. Most of them are still my closest friends, although there ought to be more of them now. We’re all Fire Emblem characters. From L-R, there’s Michael the pianist, the red-armoured cavalier, KevinT the pianist, the ‘mercenary’ class swordsman, Claire the soprano, the pegasus knight, L the pianist, the archer, Jennifer the pianist, apparently switching classes to be a fire mage (let’s say this is FE7 so it’s easier, anyway), Nathan the clarinetist, the armour knight, lx-sama, the dark-magic wielding shaman, Michael the violist, the green-armoured cavalier (did you see what I did thar), and .t, the fighter-class axeman. Scale is a little skewed because I started it as a picture of N, because I was discussing it as him and I was quite sure he would be a great armour knight, and then added everybody else later. I’m happy with N, lx, .t, L, and Claire. The rest are not so good, but passable… very close to passable…
So I sent out this picture, coloured in Photoshop, as a sort of invitation to my birthday that year. It was a great gathering. Claire and lx sat next to each other, though, which meant I nearly died of laughter. Teehee.
Dramatic TdF today… poor Cadel. Not a good year for him. Next time! On the other hand, Andy Schleck is CUTE. : D
Still plugging away at Ephraim’s Chapter 4. Nearly done that; getting ready for the Siege of Fort Rigwald. Can’t remember what happens at the end of the chapter, though, because I have a drawing from last summer of Ephraim questioning an enemy soldier after the dust settles but I have no memory of what he acutally say. Also I’m getting ideas for what Ceniro did between Lyn’s campaign and the year after that.
One wears black leather, the other white silk. Which one kicks more butt?
Anyone else feel that the preponderance of tall, lean, strong men with loooooong silver/white hair in Japanese things is glaringly obvious? Well, I decided to draw a picture of both of them. Sesshie, as you can see, wears clothes much much closer to what he actually wears in the anime. Sephie, on the other hand, petered out before I got to his feet. I think I actually like Sesshoumaru better, because he’s not really the villain… also I think he is more handsome than Sephiroth, despite Seph’s black leather.
Not much to say except I’d better hurry – I work today, and then I have to practice piano AND watch the TdF! Oh noes! Also that I went to the Fire Emblem Wikia yesterday and OHMIGOSH THEY HAVE FIRE EMBLEM 8 ART. FOR GLEN AND FORDE AND FRANZ. (glomps Franz) I’ve never seen the art of those characters before yesterday. Lyon’s art is a bit lame, though. Also, Artur, INNES, Knoll, Marisa, NATASHA, Tana, and Syrene are awesome in artwork as well. And Cormag and Colm. And Deussel. Natasha is incredibly beautiful. No wonder Joshua fell for her. Hayden looks evil, though. And the artwork that I’ve seen before, well, Seth and Eirika and Ephraim are all still awesome. And Ewan. And Amelia. Heck, everbody’s awesome. I’m just excited that I can see their artwork.
Franz: Can you stop hugging me now?
Hun, your head is still balloon-shaped…
So, this is the follow-up to my earlier picture here. This one is not as good as the first one. Bits of body are shaped better, but a lot of it is shaped worse. Rana’s eyes are reeeaaaally weird. I like her ankles but the rest of her is even more awful than the last time. She’s too small, too. Link has somewhat more detail, except on lower arms and legs, than last time, and his face is at least recognizable…
I hate booze but I love chocolate. Go figure.
This is me, day before Christmas, and someone gave Mom a big box of those brandy-filled cashew shaped chocolates, and I had a few. Not enough to get like this, certainly. I had about three. But I thought it would be a funny idea if I did get drunk on them. So here you are. And guys, this is as close to drunk as you are getting me. That means you, Ced.
That’s not wind.
Marker picture, originally of me as a Fire Emblem wind mage, but in the end just some random OC wind mage that has no relation to any story I made up… some decent shading in spots, but still clueless about hands and ears. And skinny skinny arms.
I am a TOTAL Glorfindel fangirl. I was reading Fellowship last night again, and I got to Rivendell, and I was bouncing with excitement whenever he did ANYTHING… He’s so amazing… I kept thinking: “He must be thinking something like ‘Ringwraiths? Pffft, I’ve faced worse. Like Balrogs eating my home city. Now that’s no fun.'”
