Gullac Is An Attention Hog

“amooooooooooor or sumthin’ like that”

The original title of this picture was “Gullac is an attention w****. <3”, but I thought that might not be very good for a G-rated website. This picture was drawn while listening to Los Adolescentes, which could possibly be his theme song if Natalia ever gets back to me on the meaning of the lyrics. It pictures him in the modern day human world, singing in a nightclub, sliding down the mic stand because it makes him look sexy. : P Except mine didn’t turn out so well because I’m not very good with extremely tall and skinny anatomy. And probably for other reasons as well.

The next two pictures elaborate on this topic. The nightclub topic.

Just walked around Dragon’s Gullet last night in Guild Wars. My group only KO’d once! It’s larger than I expected. But not much is there. It’s just another cool-looking area. Next up is going to be North Kryta, possibly with certain of my favourite NPCs in tow…

Gullac

Oh that little tease...

Oh that little tease…

Eeeee, it’s Gullac. <3 <3 He’s just a heartthrob, really. You see those curls? They ought to be much curlier, but when he shakes them just so, and they bounce, every girl watching has to sigh.

Well, not really. But he’s considered pretty darn attractive in the middle of the Lilemlen. Zela and Flaer are extremely confused by the curls. They can’t figure out where they came from. But he has proof that he’s their son. And once they invent genetics testing they can dig up what’s left of his corpse and find out for certain. Except that I already know for certain that he’s their son. So I should quit with the morbidness. You wouldn’t think there was anything morbid about Gullac, would you? Well, he can be a little bit creepy. But he’s a very nice guy once you get to know him. : P

If you’re confused about his pose, he’s sitting slightly curled up with his elbows on his knees.

Deerfleet

The fast runner with huge peepers.

The fast runner with huge peepers.

Eeee, it’s young Deerfleet. Still not quite right, but very, very close. Cutie. I’m afraid he looks too much like a Japanese kalma, and indeed certain images were an inspiration for the hair and clothes, but he’s in the end just supposed to look Griffon-land-ish. Maybe his eyes should be less tilted. Tilted is a North-Eastern thing! Hence Zela’s eyes. Except Tam is North-Eastern, and has straight eyes…

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Unicorn

Leslie: What’s that?

Flairé: A unicorn. Hey, Yoeath!

Leslie: Awwww! (goes running off – freezes suddenly as Yoeath turns and blinks at her)

Yoeath: Hello? And what is thy name?

Leslie: L-leslie

Yoeath: Thou may call me Yoeath.

(Flairé: Yo, the current usage says ‘you’ is casual, not ‘thou’… Yoeath: *blinks*)

Whoa, those flowers were a little bit of a trick. Aaaaand the background is a bunch of random squares. Whatever.

P.S. Today is both Professor Tolkien’s birthday and Epiphany! Hooray!

Tam and Flairé

"Bud, take a look at that thing." "Awesome!"

“Bud, take a look at that thing.” “Awesome!”

Okay, now we get to see Tam again (looking awfully manly, hmm) and teenage Flairé. They appear to be watching something. That pencil stroke between Tam’s neck and Flairé’s face is confusing me now. I don’t remember what it is. I think it might be Tam’s arm, but I don’t know why he would have his arm like that.

How is it that I find My Neighbours the Yamadas to be Miyazaki’s weirdest movie, but Mom finds it his most understandable? Different mind-sets, I suppose. Well, I really like the bit where they’re ‘driving the car’ and arguing about where to go, and then they crash, and then we find out it’s a video game. We watch it only in Japanese.

Love the Dragon Roost Island music. I just got the urge to listen to it, so I’m listening to it.

Guild Wars is pretty huge! I’ve explored pretty much all of Ascalon that I can get to at the moment, except for the Flame Temple Corridor, and I’m working my way through the snowy mountains right now. I just found a place called Ice Tooth Cave or something, so I’m taking a break and hanging out there until I head out again (probably later this evening)

D&D Party

Angry, slow, clueless, and insane. XD Love 'em all.

Angry, slow, clueless, and insane. XD Love ’em all.

This is the roleplaying group that involves two people named Kevin, and three UVic music students. On the left is Myra, who isn’t any of these. Myra is a human cleric who really, really, really wants to be an elf. She has red hair and a lightening sword. She’s played by Katherine, the sister of our DM, Cedric the tenor. Next is Torrigan, the righteous but good-natured Paladin of Pelor, played by KevinT. Next is Illinia, *coughesgalwencough* who is played by me. She’s looking for someone, it seems, and has gained a hawk companion in her travels. Last is Kellan Dunn, and he’s a mechanic awesome a former circus clown. He’s six foot tall and bald, and greatly enjoys acting insane. I mean, we’re not sure if he’s sane to begin with. He also loves money. He’s played by KevinM.

Oh, and hey, Corel Painter 4 is really weird compared to Adobe Elements 7, but it’s really good for doing ‘pencil’ sketches. …I have about a dozen fanarts lined up to do. Don’t worry, that includes Adhemlenei fanart. : )

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Recital Poster sketch ’09

It's a bunch of asylum resi- I mean, music students!

It’s a bunch of asylum resi- I mean, music students!

Ummmm. This was my first try at a recital poster for this year’s recital. It fell through when May Ling told me she had about a dozen Conservatory students that would otherwise have gone in the middle. : P

Here’s the finished version, to remind you what I eventually came up with.

So, this version has all the important stuff, and six music students… Tab, a nice first-year, who came out nearly recognisable, KevinN… …… …who always wears shorts, JenniferH, Endy, whose name I spelled wrong (he has crazy hair but not that crazy), Clinton, who is a brilliant – and I mean jaw-dropping good – pianist, and meh on the end.

Last night, I played Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and I nearly got to the first dungeon. Zelda is a pushy little brat, isn’t she? Much different than the princesses of the same name that I  know… I mean, she knows what she’s doing, and she does it well – but she’s rather selfish and it comes across strongly. Perhaps this will be her ‘learning journey’ – after all, this Zelda has never known not being a princess! (though the other ones were the same, and they weren’t so selfish… or freaked out by everything!)

Pent’s Story materials

I thought someone might find this interesting, so here it is! – It’s the two sides of the piece of paper that I used to help me plot out Pent’s Story. On the one side, like so:

pentchart

is a map of all the characters and how they relate together. As you can see, some of them I didn’t name at first – or at all, until it came to actually writing. And I did some digging on the Fire Emblem Wiki to find out all I could about Etruria. This chart was an amazing help to me. I recommend this method to everyone writing about a group of more than three characters. Continue reading →

Christmas in colour 2009 (finished!)

And now, the finished picture! Ehhhhh… I actually used the tablet a lot less with the shading/highlighting. I used it a lot for the hair, of course, but the clothes… just didn’t work with that. I need to find a way to change the settings so the harder I press doesn’t affect the width of the stroke, but how dark/light it is.

Parts I’m pleased with: Marteth’s dark purple coat; Gullac’s teal shirt; Bayn’s grey jacket. Coincidentally, they’re the ones you can see least of. : P Tam’s jacket is a close second, though. His shoulders came out half-way decent. I’m also happy with all the hair and Flairé’s face, which was worrying me. Doesn’t he look like his parents? X D

I realize that the ink lines only get in the way now. I think I will experiment in the future with not having hard lines at all. With the tablet, I can do that now!

I’m collecting Candy-cane shards in Guild Wars so I can get the Candy-cane daggers (for Gullac, when I make him) and the Peppermint Scythe (because it’s cool). I already have a Candy-cane spear. I wonder if these weapons break if you use them too much? I don’t think so. But I’m a little nervous about actually using them in battle.

Gullac: I’m not! (sproings around like a frog, brandishing his daggers and laughing insanely)

Dude, I haven’t gotten them yet. Give me another hour.
