Merry Christmas 2009!

Whoa! Lots of pictures today, folks! Hold on!

christmas09

First, a very Merry Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate) from all of us here at the Adhemlenei. People in this picture: Marteth, Bayn, Gyoriing, Lyrestan; Mathaning, Gullac, Zela, Flaer, Yoeath; Flaria, Jalril, Flairé, Tam, Rana; Ceniro, Leslie, Jennifer, Esgalwen. Quite a number! Didn’t have room to fit in Silver, but we all know she wishes you a Merry Christmas too. Yes? Yes.

Jalril is just embarrassed at standing next to a girl. Who’s dating his brother. She thinks he’s funny. And cute. Tam is a cloooooowwwwn. X D Flairé is wearing his princely-type tunic which you haven’t seen before! It’s red. Continue reading

Next year’s poster

WHAT YOU DOIN' WITH A BLACK AND WHITE POSTER IT'S S'PPOSED TO BE GREEN

WHAT YOU DOIN’ WITH A BLACK AND WHITE POSTER IT’S S’PPOSED TO BE GREEN

Actually, that would be this year’s recital poster. …If I ever get around to taking it. See, it needs to be in a pine forest near sunset. Which means fall because spring never gets around to that sort of atmosphere by the time that recitals and juries are on.

My recital poster for last year was okay. It was a little last-minute, which is all my fault. But I had this specific image in mind. So I will do it this year. Continue reading

Bob Christmas Fanart

Those potato peelers are HAWT. I mean, the potato peeler. Ahem. Yes.

Those potato peelers are HAWT. I mean, the potato peeler. Ahem. Yes.

Next up for the ’08 Christmas New Pen Fanart Spree was Bob, of True Magic. Lookin’ good there, Robert. : D I think I like his hair better like this instead of the thick, almost bushy mop that he has in the comic right now. But whatever. He’s still cute. (Joe is cuter at the moment, though… despite the trim.)

I tried doing the outside lines in a thicker pen. …It worked. I’d do it a bit differently now.

I’m in a TRIO. It has clarinet, horn, and piano, and so far we’re doing a wierd piece that was published using the composer’s manuscript (so, messy messy – but he does put accidentals in places that I approve) and it sounds jazzy which is kind of cool but WHAT THE HECK I’M IN A TRIO GUYS. It’s been too long since I did chamber music with multiple people.

LinT Christmas Fanart

Ambush! ...Wait, it's only Hope. Never mind!

Ambush! …Wait, it’s only Hope. Never mind!

This was the Christmas that my brother gave me inking pens!! I immediately tried them out by drawing Christmas presents for my favourite webcomics, starting with LinT. So Sangwine’s legs are a little short and the lines are rather sketchy. (I did use a pencil first, btw.) But that’s okay! I’m not sure what’s happening, but it’s supposed to be funny.

Warhammer Cereal Boxes

They'll make your teeth look like this guy's

I <3 NY! Except I’ve never been there…

These were actually drawn by my Dad on a blank cardboard box that came inside a cereal box. I forget what kind of cereal. Some vaguely health-oriented cereal. Nature’s Path type cereal. I’m not sure. Go buy some healthy cereals until you find one with two blank boxes inside. It won’t hurt you, anyway. I think these pictures are hilarious, but then I laugh at a lot of things.

Ceniro’s Animated Debut



Hey, a movie! This is my first video of Ceniro, made with Windows Movie Maker and Photoshop. Credit goes to Fire Emblem Planet for a couple of things and The Spriters Resource for others. I drew Ceniro and arranged the different images in Photoshop… the background, the nameplates, the HPs and percentages… it took a long time. And then came the creating of dozens of PNGs. The next movie is up to over 400 PNGs and is not even close to being finished! It would help if I worked on it once in a while… next summer, maybe! Anyway, putting in WMM wasn’t too hard. It’s just the animation takes forever. I have to make some major changes to the sprite… it doesn’t look right at all. I’m not sure how I’m going to do it, but I’ll figure it out eventually. Oh, and the sound was recorded straight from the GBA using the microphone plugged into the computer. Right from the FE7 Sound Room. It stutters at the end because I wasn’t sure how to use the microphone so it didn’t make the sound file all in one go.

Link Statue I

Now, where's that Keese?

Now, where’s that Keese?

This is Link! Not just any old Link, but Link made of Sculpey modelling clay by me! Most of the head and torso are filled in with foil, meaning I can’t go back and fix the lines of his face. His limbs and the Master Sword are strengthened and straightened with toothpicks. His face, his shield, his scabbard, and his sword are all painted with Games Workshop paint and I touched up the white of his sweater and pants, too, because it had a lot of green and brown smudged into it. That’s how I knew today would be the day for these pictures (hooray) because I found my sheath reference sketch in my sketchbook, with the details taken from the Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy. The shield details were from a printed out action pose picture which was done for Soul Caliber II, I believe.
