Eros and Psyche: chapter 1, page 12

First     Back     Next     Latest

The sound effects for panel 3 are: “woogily woogily woogily”

I… need… more… endorphins! I’m on an emotional rollercoaster again! I wanna get ooooff!!

I’m writing emo poetry for the first time in two years! …No, you don’t get to see it!

Please, humans, can we just stop hurting each other in all these various ways? That’s all I want. World peace and cheerful co-existance. Is that too much to ask?

(I’d also like a house in a remote temperate-rainforest area with a German Baroque and/or Modern French pipe organ in it, while you’re at it.)

Esgalwen bio portrait

Hey! I coloured a portrait for a personal biography page! In this case, it’s the unassuming and shy Esgalwen, who lives in Mirkwood and dances and is married to a blonde.

I cheated. I selected the pencil with the magic wand tool (okay, I selected the not-pencil and clicked inverse) and then filled in with black, creating that funky outline. …It took me half an hour and looks decent. I’m satisfied. It remains to be seen whether I colour the other bios like that or not.

Stars and Midnight Blue II

"You have lost yourself in dreaming... I have lost myself in you... ...I can hear your heartbeat..."

“You have lost yourself in dreaming… I have lost myself in you… …I can hear your heartbeat…”

I was listening to Stars and Midnight Blue by Enya on her Christmas CD again… seems everytime I listen to it I get the urge to draw a new picture. So here you are, Flaer and Zela watching the stars and their breath in the cold air… and Zela’s wearing a sleeveless dress. : P What kin ya do.

I like drawing these two. I should do it more.

Technical Difficulties

Oops! Due to strange circumstances, there is no page this week. However, Eros and Psyche will be continuing as normal because I have a buffer and blah blah blah.

Flairé was not (badly) harmed in the making of this page. Panel. Thing. …He’ll recover. Eventually. And Math and Gullac are taking care of him.

Cheers!

Inseparable Trio

Why are the guys in back so short.

Why are the guys in back so short.

Owwwwwww… I now know beyond a doubt that girls have pectorals. In case you were unsure about that. Because mine hurt.

Anyway, this is the picture I promised you on Tuesday, featuring our intrepid trio of kalmei. Flairé, of course, is the leader, the captain of the regiment and Jalril’s mentor and trainer. Lam’ro, who doesn’t look nearly as good in this picture, is the second in command, the quiet reliable one who advises but can’t implement. Jalril, who here has an awfully big head and an awfully short torso (HE’S LEANING OVER OKAY – I’m just really bad at drawing it) is the apprentice, the shy young enthusiastic try-hard-er. They, in Book 3 or something, really are an inseparable trio who work very closely together and look out for each other all the time. And sometimes win battles and stuff too.

My shoulders and other various parts of my body hurt because karate started on Tuesday with a big push-up/sit-up warm-up, and I am hilariously bad at those things. So bad my partner (we were in pairs) had to help pull me up with a karate belt. I know, I know, hysterical. But this will help me get better. Also I went running with L this morning, and discovered the magical fact that if I don’t talk, I don’t get out of breath so much! Also she makes a mean bacon-and-eggs.

Man, the way I ache, I better have some very pretty biceps/abs once I’m done this year.
