The fictional world in my head.

Zela playing and dancing

Stop watching me, mortal.

Stop watching me, mortal.

Oooh! Pretty! It’s Zela, doing stuff!

I like the one on the left, dancing. Her arms are a bit long… okay, they’re way too long, and her shoulder is too low. But, her pose in general is good, and her sketchy skirt is nice, and her face is just about perfect, and her hair is about three times as long as it usually is, but it’s so pretty… I think I was having a way-too-long-hair thing at this time; I mean, look at Flaer.

The one on the left contains a sort of design for a kalma’eiric violin. It looks a little silly to me now. And she’s wearing a shorter skirt for a change, and her hair is loose for a change… which is rather pretty as well. I like her sleeves the best of all, though. And I get to show off my terrible un-mastery of perspective, as well.

Flaer

Prince-type. Obviously.

I drew Flairé again, but he came out a bit seriously, so I called it Flaer. And then I drew the back of his head, and the hair is too long and swirly, but it’s pretty!! And that squiggle next to Flairé’s sword hilt is Flaer’s sword hilt, just so I knew what it looked like.

Firefly and Gull

Tragically, they loved and died

Tragically, they loved and died

New characters!!! Sort of.

The lad on the left is the new and improved version of Firefly, who then found his Kalma’eiric name Lyrestan. He’s Flaer’s little brother, if you didn’t remember, and the only other picture of him is all the way back here. (ugh) The lass on the right is Kyliralessa, or maybe Kylyralessa but that looks stupid. It means Golden-haired Gull, and she’s the new and improved version of this little princess.

And yes, they are madly in love. Yay! I greatly admire Lyrestan’s hair in this one. It’s so smooth and shiny.

Backflip!

Now Zela is showing off… badly… Again, I didn’t draw enough curve in the back as a whole. I’m not doing too good on the shading either.
“This sure is a family of acrobats” I wrote on the bottom of the page.

Twister!

You're behind me!

You\’re behind me!

Um… I think Flairé is trying to impersonate a top, but I tried too hard on the corkscrew so it didn’t turn out. His face is too sharp and the sword is too small, even pointing directly at the camera. The only part of this that I like is perhaps the hair and the shadow his scabbard makes on his tunic-skirt.

Ton o’ Flairé sketches

Jumbled dismembered people

Jumbled dismembered people

Um….? I did more Flairé fanart. Jumbled around in random connexion to each other. I think I started with the one that’s sitting on a flat surface, right in the middle.
Flairé: I want more clothes, please!
Then, before I did the hair, I did the big head behind him. So the hair never got done. Super shading happened, but not very convincingly. Then I did a head with pretty hair and a sword, except that little bit is pretty awful compared to Flairé. I think Flaria stole his sword and is masquerading as her brother. Down at the bottom is Zela on the left and Flairé on the right (Flaer I was not interested in at this time, despite being an older copy of the same person. You will know instantly when I became interested in Flaer again, in some months). The point of those two was to illustrate the subtle difference between a kalla (woman elf) and a kalma (man elf). They both have slender waists and hips and shoulders, but the kalla has the slightest bit of a curve to her chest. So that settled that problem.

Flairé kicking

Wham! I think Flairé likes sound effects

Wham! I think Flairé likes sound effects

I wanted to draw Flairé in a super-cool action pose, kicking right at the ‘camera’. I guess at the viewer. But it didn’t work because of, as usual, anatomy. I drew a little sketch from the side, but that didn’t work either. Nice hair, though, even if it’s blowing around a bit too crazily. Makes his head look big. Still, you may notice the tunic design for Zela’s family is nearing its current form!

Unknown and Flairé

Whirling hair, complacent flair

Whirling hair, complacent flair

I decided that I really need to figure out how people are shaped. And given my new obsession with Flairé, it’s completely unsurprising that he’s here. The other girl is just a random girl with a fabulous body and hair. And she can dance. If I looked like her I think I might, just maybe, actually be happy with the way I looked. (smaller chest requested, though). Oh, well.
Flairé: Other… girl? Not you, too.
Sorry. The other person who is a girl. Yeah. And Flairé himself looks rather dorky here.
Flairé: Don’t ever draw me in my underclothes again.
Will do. Your feet are rather small.
Flairé: No kidding.

Flairé

Whump

Whump

So, my fanart of my original character. That just seems wierd to me, me drawing fanart of my own thing. Fanart. But that’s what it is.

This is also a pretty good picture of Flairé, though not as good as the last one. Anatomy is still my bane, though his left hand is not too bad. I think he’s supposed to be landing. That’s why his wierd shirt is flapping all around.

Flairé

Sproing!!!

Sproing!!!

It’s Flairéeeeeeeeeeee! (glomp)
Flairé: (completely unfazed) Um, yeah. About time, too.
Oh, go on. Anyway, I drew this for my brother’s Dungeons and Dragons homebrewed rules, version… uh… 2, I think. Or was it 1.1? I can’t remember. Anway, I wrote out his backstory (see below) and then I drew a picture of him to go with it… and fell in love with it. Completely. Like a 13 year old fangirl. I mean, look! He’s got such beautiful hair, and his eyes are exactly Flairé, and the skirt of his tunic isn’t totally wacky, and he’s tall and slender and graceful. My mom doesn’t think much of this picture. His pose could be improved, I’ll admit – his back needs to curve more and give even more sense of movement. And I used my cheat for drawing hands. But the hairContinue reading
