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. X D

Did I mention the Knights of Pie? UVic fundraising organization. Bunch of guys dress up as monkly knights and put on short trials that usually end in pieing the person who can’t pay equal to the donations raised by their accusor. Ivan was raising money for a children’s hospital and was tired of MichaelG showing up late to rehearsal. Result: Epicness. Lemon-meringuey epicness.

I like Franz Strauss. He wrote a second horn concerto that was just found thirty years ago and Christine may be playing the Canadian premiere. XD But Hans Pizka, the editor, is fail. He put the horn part in the wrong transposition, so Christine is playing in Eb major while I’m playing in C major. FAIL. I’ll stop flitting from subject to subject now.

I want to be a great visual artist, textual artist, sonic artist… painter drawer animator model maker author poet musician composer pianist organist violinist singer… Did I miss anything? Prolly. Hahaha.
