This is the finished version of this picture, which I drew specifically for the purpose that it now serves as the ‘logo’ or ’emblem’ of my website. I realized tonight that I forgot about it. So here you are! It took me a long time to colour, especially Flaer’s hair. I used Photoshop 5 and a mouse. I realize his eyes are rather huge now but hey! You can tell they’re green. Which is good. Less happy about the cloth, but I guess it’s all right for my skill level. Grass was a total cop-out (green paint bucket, some broad dodge and burn, and then put the ‘pencil sketch’ filter on heavy or something like that) but I dunno how to do grass in Photoshop.

Stern Flaer is stern

Stern Flaer is stern

You know, Flaer usually shows up as either really nice or sad or something. It’s time to show people that he has a backbone somewhere in there, too. That’s why he’s a Prince. He also has a lot of hair and somewhat small shoulders. Here, anyway. And his crown is lopsided. : P

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Sword Discussion

Leslie: Teehee… that is definitely something he would make fun of…

Jen:   : D   (opens door to cell)

Leslie: What was that thump?

Jen: (hugs Leslie) That was Flairé knocking somebody out. I hope you didn’t think it was me! I’m not that good!

Leslie: Then what is the swo- rapier for?

Jen: Well, I can defend myself long enough that Flairé can come to my rescue. I’m about an equal sparring partner for Deerfleet.

Chibi Flairé: (is not there) You’re prolly wondering why I brought her along, then…

The title of this page comes from the fact that my sword-expert (not really) brother refuses to acknowledge my rapier as a rapier. He says it looks like a sabre. He also wants to know why Leslie and I have shiny on the back of our heads where the (offscreen) torch doesn’t shine.

EDIT: It’s totally not a rapier. It’s a combat foil or something. Like, it has a sharp pokey tip, but it doesn’t have the stiffness etc. of a real rapier. I know this now.

I would totally talk in emoticons if I could.

Bad art this week. Sorry.

Yeah? 'Sup?

Yeah? ‘Sup?

I now have a shirt with these pictures on them, so now I can show you the pictures!! Top image is not full size but full size is 900 px across and I didn’t think you wanted that.

Flairé’s tunic came out wonderfully smooth on the shirt, and… the rest of him, too, actually. Except for his face. It was a little blotchy. I remember making a Photoshop-smoothed version, but I must not have emailed it to myself. The shading on the hair and sleeves is by my French Grey art makers; the shading on the cloak is from a black marker, a grey marker, and the grey marker gone over twice to get a darker shade. It might not wholly make sense, but it looks pretty good, I guess. Actually on the shirt itself it’s a little hard to tell.

Anyway. You like? I like for sure.

(a small hand appears through the doorway with a torch)

Jen: Leslie! Are you all right?

Leslie: Jen?! What are you doing here? And why do you have a sword?

Jen: Ummmmm… I’m here to rescue you! And it’s a rapier, ’cause I actually know how to use one sorta! And no Saxophone Alex jokes!

Chibi Saxophone Alex: Bwahaha

…No, Chibi Saxophone Alex is not actually there. But he would probably make an inappropriate comment at this point, so I drew him in because I felt like it. Oh, and hey, it’s me! I’m not sure what you folks will think of self-insertion. But as long as you consider me just as another character, I don’t think you’ll be bothered. More will become clear next page.

I was doing the colouring late last night and I really nearly messed up on the backgrounds.

EDIT: It’s totally not a rapier. It’s a combat foil or something. Like, it has a sharp pokey tip, but it doesn’t have the stiffness etc. of a real rapier. I know this now.

Later again. Like, by a few hours, yo.

Leslie: (sitting quietly in large jail-type cell) I’m so scared… and bored… They still haven’t told me what I’m doing here… I think it’s something to do with Flairé…

Door: *THUMP*

Leslie: ?

Door: *swish* (opens softly)

I hate drawing bars/stairs/perspective. She came out pretty good in panel two, though. I wasn’t going to add the little aside in panel one but then I thought “what the heck, it’s supposed to be light-hearted, really”.

Recital tomorrow

Hi! I’m scared stiff. It will be absolutely fabulous if a million and one things don’t go wrong. The one I’m most worried about is tensing up like a board for the first half of the coda of the Liszt. Other than that I should be equable to whatever happens. Hopefully I don’t have any memory slips.
…This is really quite a lot of music. I only realize that occasionally.
Cheers! Hope to see some of you there!

Aur scribble

I felt like posting something! The only thing I have left to do today is practice (and study Latin and play Guild Wars – Kessex Peak is still waiting!) so I decided to put SOMETHING UP. Especially since I’m bored and I’ve been listening to Kalmaeirin playlists on my iTunes for the last two hours while I wrote my Linguistics paper for this week.

Soooo… this is the first picture I drew with Corel Painter, with the pencil tool and my glorious tablet, and it is of Aur from Dreigiau. It’s not very good, so I didn’t send it to Aywren. I mean, it’s better than the last picture of Aur I drew. But still not really good enough. Though I think it’s decent enough to be posted. The scribble of Link I did a few weeks ago, though… X P That will not be posted. Ugh.

I think I gave Aur too much eyelashes.

Cheers!
