Sweet sound, sweet smile
If you can’t guess, I didn’t draw him well enough: it’s Joshua Bell! He plays so beautifully, I believe he’s the best violinist in the world today. I especially like his Kreisler.
Very plain picture, based on a picture either from one of my four CD booklets or his website.
So cool he’s hot or something like that
That up there is someone who doesn’t normally look that way: it’s Kopaka from Bionicle (a Lego franchise). Basically, he’s a powerful warrior and guardian of the Bionicle people who live up the mountain, and he uses ice as a weapon. He’s pretty cool, the coolest character in Bionicle. If Bionicle can be considered cool. It’s not fabulous, and they’re getting weirder than ever. Their first movie (we saw the first and the second) was okay, but corny and kinda stupid. I just like Kopaka. He was also the first guy to show up in the comic that came with the magazine that we got for a few years, and he had some good lines. I also like the others a bit, Lewa best of the others, I guess.
Prettyboy poses for the painter
This is a portrait of Marth, and I tried to shade it, but it’s not very good. And I had a terrible time scanning it. The squigglies on his collar aren’t very good. Neither is his hair.
Today, I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet after I’m finished this. I will probably try drawing my Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain book. I’ve gotten to the pure contour drawing part! My drawing of a hand looked like a hand, but my drawing of an orchid looked like a squiggle. That’s because the parts aren’t lined up and are disjointed and overlapping. I think I’m improving.
Can someone fix my spooky eyes? Anyone?
Ah, now this is a Photoshop picture. I didn’t know much about using Photoshop as a paint program, but I did my best. I also didn’t know much about shading anatomy. >_<7 The lips are good, if nothing else. The eyes are also just how I imagined them. I rather like the hair, which was done by drawing different coloured streaks of yellowy-brown – must be easier with a tablet – and using the smudge tool. It’s the coloured version of this picture.
Pretty Cassiopeia (again)
This picture was drawn during a Christmas – I don’t know which Christmas, so I’ll put it in here. Ha. It’s just a quick sketch done during one of my piano teacher’s group classes.
A pillar made of ivory would be awfully difficult to make
These guys are the Pillar of Ivory, which Penlod has command over, also the Tower of Snow or something. So Penlod is the shaggy-headed guy in front with a double shield. I hollowed out a helmet for him. I put too much green stuff on his head for his hair. His face is the Silver Helm unhelmeted head; I had a spare, and that face is the most handsome that I have. The shields are all decals done in Photoshop and printed on decal paper, with a bit of Dad’s help. The banner, though, was painted by hand.
I also put hair on all the other guys, as well. Hopefully it looks better than all those scraggly Minas Tirith warriors in the movie. I always thought the Warhammer High Elf Spearmen looked like dressed up apes, but I managed to paint them to downsize this aspect – unlike their professional ‘Eavy Metal team, which painted it professional style, which made them uglier.
I’ll just point out that Penlod died in the story. Darn.
I really like this unit. I’ll have to get another for the Tower of Snow guys now.
TWANG
Lady on the Beach
Oh, look, bad guys
This is Kevin’s Bretonnian Sorceress, which I painted because I wanted to. I had trouble with the saddle, but again, I like the dress.
Chapter 5
Link stirred groggily. His mind was made of fuzz, it seemed. He could feel it. An arm twitched, feeling for a missing rudder.
What? Rudder?
Where was Navi?
He tried to remember…
Memories were flitting in front of his mind’s eye. Sending Epona home… building a ship… Not very big, only big enough for himself and… Demon… yes.
Setting sail, visiting different islands, having hectic times and good times… just he couldn’t remember them yet…
Two years had passed since he had set out from Termina’s Great Bay, and he’d had many adventures… so how was it that he was in a comfortable bed that wasn’t rocking? The blankets were warm and soft…
Not like that storm… right. A hurricane had hit. “I’m going to reef!” Link had yelled to Demon, giving him the tiller and clambering to the mast, clinging like a monkey to anything he could. He grabbed a rope and wrapped it around his right arm for safety. The rest of his memory was a blank…
“Ah! Are you waking up, sir?”
“Uhn?” Who was the girl? Malon? His eyelids cracked open, showing him brownish red hair and a blue dress. “Uhn?” he mumbled again.
He flung himself upright into a sitting position, his pulse going about a hundred kilometres an hour. “Where’s Navi? Where am I? Who are you? Are you Malon? You look different. Where am I?” Continue reading
