Tam’s Crazy Smile

Whoo! Tam, he is a crazy one. Here he is in all his blue-hair-and-purple-trenchcoat-ed glory, apparently climbing a cliff. The Cliffs of Insanity, maybe? XD

Something’s not right with his face, but you wouldn’t know because I haven’t really yet drawn him ‘correctly’. Also, that’s his knight’s seal swinging around his neck. Anyway, that Tam, he is most certainly a crazy one. In the friendliest, cuddliest, silliest, best sense possible, until the Black Unicorn gets him. But until then he’s one of my favourite characters and I should probably rewrite Book 1 during Reading Break or something. As well as baking cookies and things for my reception. Mmm.

Hey, Percy Trevellyan from the Jeremy-Brett-version of Sherlock Holmes looks AN AWFUL LOT like a friend of mine. Hmm. Hmmmmm. XD

Red-headed Angel

Moar figure drawing! Also trying to figure out angels with folded wings. Still. I have a vague idea.

The flowing red hair is just ’cause.

I have a pair of the awesomest music-themed hand-warmers known to intelligent life. : D Thank you AlexR’s mom!!

The concert was pretty good. The audition was pretty good. This webcomic is pretty good. “The Royal College of Organists… where often is heard… maniacal laughter!”

Off to ‘perfect my art’, as someone once said!

Demon Jen

I was busy today. Classes, homework, a little practice, and I went shopping because I am playing Lilith with AlexR on Monday, and apparently it’s tradition to dress up as a demon. Soooo… I needed a demon costume. So I bought my first ‘little black dress’ and it is totally cute, but it’s a lot less than I’m used to wearing. And I decided to draw a picture of it. End of long boring story!

Also the dress is cute, but both the buttons that keep the halter-part on broke the second time I put it on, so that’s kind of stupid. And I don’t actually have the fangs yet. I have more shopping to do tomorrow. I have the finny ears, though.

This is a small picture because I was just fooling around with large blurry brushes drawing female figures – trying to get the proportions right again – and I liked this one. But I didn’t feel like making a super-detailed picture, although I could have.

I reread The Secret Garden and it is sooo not a girly book; it’s a book about health. And I would like to try some of this healthy stuff. I don’t think I will seriously take up gardening, but it’s just kind of inspiring to see – here are people working hard out of doors, and they love it! They’re strong, and they like to sing, and they are happy and friendly! And of course the part where Colin stands up is the awesomest thing I read all week. Maybe all month. I haven’t done a lot of reading recently.

Off to the weekend, where I play in 3 recitals, listen to two more, and have an audition. Eeek!

Tam colour

Wow, Tam is incredibly creepy sometimes. I wanted this to be dramatic, not stalkerish.

Well, I will fix it tomorrow. Or sometime. (Things to fix – try lowering the eyebrows (may make it worse, but let’s see), focus the eyes, may have to repaint the blue hair so it has more life in it, polish the eyes because they are actually quite flat, etc. etc.)

Grad thoughts

I am officially done with forms. Now I just need to get transcripts out! And auditions. Can’t forget about auditions. How do I get auditions? I will check.
I am soooo spazzed on not enough sleep. And chocolate. And rock and roll. Yay.
