Click for larger. Decided it was high time to turn the temporary header into a slightly more detailed header. I tweaked the anatomy a little bit but Esgalwen’s nose is still blurp. I mostly did this to procrastinate on the last Transistor fanart which is the most ambitious one. I may tweak this further but it’s a lot shinier than it was before.
This week I found out that front break-falls in karate have been messing up my neck so not going to do those anymore.
Just uploaded a new header for the site; I’m reasonably happy with the lineart (except Flairé – what’s going on with your face, buddy?) but I’ll probably completely redo the colour later. Still, there’s enough here to update the banner with something a little more indicative of my current art and most important characters. : P
As for the characters, they’re pretty evenly mixed, I think… two kalmaei, one elf, one Hylian, two humans, a dragon, and an angel… and five males to three females isn’t bad. What is a little more odd is that there are four brunettes and three with black hair; not a lot of diversity there, and four with brown eyes, three with green, and one with grey.
If anyone doesn’t know who these people are, from L-R it’s: Zela and her son Flairé from the Adhemlenei, Esgalwen/Illinia from Mirkwood (Middle Earth), Ceniro of Santaruz from Elibe (FF7), Rana from Hyrule (LoZ), Hrulash and Garekhen from Rifted Riders, and Angel from my head. These people are the ones most fundamental to the development of my inner worlds.
Just wait: in a year or two, Liz will be on the header too. : P
Full-size art!
I have a shoulder angel and a shoulder demon, except I don’t imagine them as being small. You’ve seen the Angel in a few other drawings and paintings, including the header, but I think the Demon has only showed up in one so far, and maybe I haven’t even put that picture on the site yet.

Anatomy practice that somehow turned into my angel. : ) His shins are not long enough? Just enough to make him seem top-heavy, not by much.
I am much closer to having a clean room!!! I actually vacuumed today!!
I will post a really good picture tomorrow. Can’t wait!
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!

This is my guardian angel, also known as the personification of my conscience. He doesn’t always carry that big sword around, but he does use it for beating off demons – and sometimes for whacking me over the head when I do something stupid. But mostly he whaps me in the head or shoulder with his hand – or just crosses his arms and looks disapproving.
He’s also supportive when I need him, but that’s more Flairé’s job. Continue reading
This painting has been in my head since… Sunday, July 17th, around 5:00 PM. This was during an Evensong sermon at CCC, in which the pastor spoke to us organists about how we were all wonderful people but not adventurous unless pushed, so she challenged us to ‘step out of the box and head into the wilderness’ like John the Baptist and Christ and anyone else you can think of who went into the wilderness. Now that day I was really having a bad day, so the idea of ‘wilderness’ terrified me and I nearly broke down in church… but I did get this picture in my head, and I decided I felt like painting it because it’s an interesting picture.

Sleeping in the music basement – a common pasttime, though not necessarily for angels.
Uhhhmmmm… this is a picture of a friend of mine that I got from a certain social networking website. So, drawn with a reference… didn’t stop his hair from coming out incredibly plasticy. And then I drew wings just for fun. I like wings. I should draw all my friends with wings and see what they look like. : D
Woot, Flairé shirt! I had to redraw the top of his head because it wasn’t high enough… When you make a race with long noses, it somehow shoves their eyes up higher than half-way up the head. Which is too high.
Note to Gullac: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Gullac: (with matches in hand) Awwwwwww……
…His wings of drifted snow, his eyes of flame (sorta)
Wow, we’re less than a year behind! Exciting. Maybe. Anyway, this is a picture drawn based on the Christmas hymn of the same title. It’s an exotic image, wings of snow and eyes of flame. But my interpretation didn’t work this time. Well, maybe the wings worked sort of, but the eyes didn’t really work. Also his hair was supposed to be that curly Greco-Romanesque style hair, but you can’t really tell, can you. And his robe wasn’t supposed to look wrinkley, just drapey. Oh well. But it does sort of look like he’s glowing, which is good. I used colouring pencil all over this, even if you can’t tell apart from the eyes.
Today I remembered I have some basic colouring markers and I got the urge to start my Flairé T-shirt that I want to make. I drew the front image, which is based on this picture (bwahahaha), and coloured it and everything. Now I’m working on the back image which is a portrait of Flairé himself and the pencil sketch has turned out rather well. Now let’s see if the inking and colouring turns out well! (*is nervous*)
