I Know You’re Out There Somewhere: NaNoWriMo2011

Hey! From encouragement, I have become brave enough to start posting my NaNo novel online. After all, it’s vaguely coherent, even if it’s RILLY RILLY BAD. (So you have been warned.) This is really a practice novel, practicing certain things (character type, building to a climax, etc.) so constructive criticism is welcomed but not necessarily acted upon.

This is going to be (in later chapters) largely based on the experiences Esgalwen/Illinia had while I was RPing as her in a D+D session once upon a time. We never finished the campaign, though, so the ending will be largely my own. I am, however, going to attempt to make it NOT like this.

This chapter came out fairly quickly and easily, considering I’ve never really thought about this part of her life before, and I think the style is pretty good for the setting. Currently, I’ve lost any semblance of style. I do think that if I were to develop this as a book, I would cut this whole section in some fashion because it really don’t establish much that is important later. All these people? This place? Never see ’em again. I’m 99% sure. …Unless Tharash decides to take Flairé and/or Gullac for a mayhem-causing visit.

……… >_>

Keep an eye out for random cameos in future chapters!

Eye Candy preview 2

Well, this is going to be the other half of the picture I started last time. Still quite rough; even more rough than the last one. But yes, it is Gullac, being a shameless flirt. As usual. : P His hair is so hard! It’s going to be even harder to shade!

And then! Busy day tomorrow! If you happen to be near the Paul Davenport Theatre at around 8:00 tomorrow, you should go inside and listen to us and some other people make African music. It will be super cool.

Say hello to Ffweiiless… because he apparently want to say hello to you. : P

Sometimes you have to solve your own problems. In this case the problem seems to be a lack of shirtless boys, but IRL shirtless boys make me uncomfortable, so I’m not entirely sure what that means.

Shading, background, and other character (s?) to come later.

Fantastic choir rehearsal today! Everyone should come to the concert on Saturday because it’s going to knock your socks off.

Eros and Psyche: chapter 3, page 12

First     Back     Next     Latest

Holy cats, say it ain’t so! A page of the half-dead Greek webcomic? And there’s another page in the schedule for Wednesday, so check back then!

Anyway, looks like Eros is in trouble. And I can say he deserves it for saying something so dumb…

Drawn on Livestream last night. Thanks to Ashes for watching! : D

I think the brush I used was too thick. I’ll fix that next time.

Lyrestan’s Halloween/Holland fanart

This is for the Wayrift Halloween challenge… it’s Lyrestan (Flaer’s younger brother, the ‘white prince’ type) dressed as Holland (who also happens to be a prince, who knew?) from the webcomic Strays which is a pretty amazing webcomic if I say so myself. It has shapeshifters! And intrigue! And a 12 year old bratty heroine who is actually really compelling! Although I thought she was a boy for like a month. And a wolf-guy who can’t talk, but is a brilliant fighter.

And Holland, who is hilariously giddy and makes the best faces.(I like to think he’s like Flairé except he’s short and also a swan-shapeshifter.)

This artist also draws the Puddlebunnies, which make Leslie melt into a puddlebunny herself… Example, example, example.

Accompanying Chibis

Click for full set! Everyone I’ve ever accompanied on at least a semi-regular basis (as far as I can remember – if I left you out, kick me and I’ll put you in asap). There’s 16 chibis up there; two of them are me (with different hair-cuts) so they don’t count. Some of these came out okay, but some really did not, and I am sorry for that. (If you’re really, really disgusted with how you came out, kick me for that, too. But not literally, plz.) Continue reading
