Tam! In… the forest… hunting the Black Unicorn… which is stalking him. Yeah. Not a happy picture; the beginning of Tam’s end. But I think the details of his outfit are pretty good. …If I did this in colour it would be super dramatic. Mmmm.
I actually have a bunch of pencil drawings I could post. Maybe later this week.
Everything is under control…….. Also my acceptance to UWO is pending! Yay?
Trying to get Tam during class. I succeeded. Finally. I may incorporate this into the painting.
News later.
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
So… tried a couple things with this. No actual repainting from the original, except for some detail in the irises that you can’t even see anyway. Just lighting and saturation. I dunno. I’m still not entirely satisfied, but it’s a little better.
Tam is a troublesome boy anyway.
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.)
Whee! New project #2! Click for large version!
I’m going with a cell-shaded look because I think once I get the hang of it, it will be faster than the painterly look, like what I used in the angel picture or the Ceniro at Sunset picture. Although it was a pain colouring that mountain, I’ll tell you that. I have no idea what I’m doing and for the random wolf I used no reference.
Oh yeah, so the people on the left… I should just tell you they are not to scale with the people to the right. Organist is only as tall as I am, so it’s natural that Flairé should tower over him, but the girl with the blonde/purple hair should be at least 6’6″ and she doesn’t look that. But they are not to scale because they are not as important. : )
Is the pink arrow okay? I thought it added some much needed incongruity to the scene. Also Flairé probably should be holding a pink marker but I thought that would be over the top.
Organist may not look an awful lot like Organist yet, but I have… 71 pages to try and get that right THIS EPISODE. Then there’s the next episode.
The Totally Not-Canon Adventures will update every Sunday as long as I have pages! Probably late Sunday night… try Monday mornings if you’re lazy and want to be safe.
And check back tomorrow for something nearly as cool, imo.
Tweaks coming tomorrow. And additions.

And then there’s Joe.
Hi! This is a small, brightly coloured, neatly arranged sample of sketches that I accomplished at school or related to school, as these are on mini-flashcards. The blue and green ones are on Latin flashcards; the pink ones are when I decided to devote a whole pack of these to drawing – they come on a handy ring, even. Continue reading
Long nose and high cheekbones – typical kalma and then some
And the last picture of Tam, for now. This one is not bad, but still not right. It brought out the colour change in his hair, at least. One of the points that is off is that his forehead is too far foreward.
Why yes, my collar is awesome
Tam, again, this time in the little book. There’s one more, and then we’re out of the Tam blitz.
He looks weird here. Can’t put my finger on why.
