SAFE is not the word he’d use to describe it.
And the thrilling conclusion to the horse chase yesterday! Sort of. He makes it to the next village ahead of the raiders, and I had extra space so I drew a butterfly. His butterfly. Whatever. I mean his butterfly cloak pin. Whatever. This picture and the one before it were inspired by Mark Knopfler’s Speedway at Nazareth. Which is a song about racecars. Go figure.
Strange people! Posing!
Fire Emblem: The Tactician and the Heiress

The cover to Book 1 of my Fire Emblem 7: Rekka no Ken fanfiction. Not my best work, but it started out really sketchy, and then I got serious, and then I got bored. It’s kind of random, just some people posing. Not inspired like the other one. So it’s really only here as a concept. Blah. Lyn’s Legion, GO!
I’ll do a better job of this someday. Maybe. If I feel like it. ; )
As it is Remembrance Day, have some beautiful poetry. Continue reading
It’s a little tiny elf-person-thing! …Wait, that’s me.
This I drew to illustrate Zela’s sword for the purposes of obtaining my own for Hallowe’en. That’s why this picture DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ZELA AT ALL. I was planning to ink and colour me, and then draw Zela in pencil behind, showing that I’m very short in comparison being her, but am not her. But I never got around to it because this one didn’t turn out as good as I’d hoped. Some other time, I’ll do that. Oh, and that reminds me, I need to bug my dad about the pictures from this Hallowe’en.
I wrote so much on my NNWM last night… something like 4000 words. They just wouldn’t stop coming! I just got inspiration for the scene (the meeting between Zela and Lilar the silver dragon) and wrote and wrote and wrote. Of course, then I slept in until 11:00 this morning and missed my chance of going to study Mendelssohn. But I will still practice piano! After I write just a little more… I’m actually ahead! And I’ll be more ahead this evening! I’ve decided I’m going to try and catch up to XiaoCaity from the True Magic forum. She’s at 25,000 words right now, and I’m at 17,000. The candy thing (little reward after every 200, or 500 words) is actually kind of redundant. But it’s nice to have candy. Mmmm……
FREEZING HERE… WHAT WAS I THINKING
More Flairé fanservice! After I said I wouldn’t.
Flairé: (groans)
Anyway, here he is, having a shower on the side of a cliff. Silly boy. That must be freezing!
What a load of wierdos.
It’s Flairé! And all six of his siblings! Woot woot. I drew this coming home from the Bard on the Beach expedition (wow, that was so fun). I asked L what I should draw on the way back, the seven children of Flaer/Zela, or the Flairé-rides-through-the-forest sequence (which I did eventually draw, so hold on to your horses – ahem), and she said the seven persons. So I did. Took me a couple days. I had to redo Marteth, as he looked like a twin of Menad. They still do, actually. Pickles. Bayn looks oversized… I guess that’s what he is, but I thought the effect would be different. And Gullac is supposed to be taller than Mathaning. He’s just hanging off his shoulder. I had fun with the boots, though!
…Gullac is so glompable. (……runs and glomps)
Gullac: AAAAAAAAAAGH GETITOFF GETITOFF GETITOFF
Mathaning: (cracks up)
Also Mt Baker at the bottom of the page.
Btw the Olympic torch is in town and those ridiculous helicopters keep circling.
Woot! This is my big dramatic cover for The Tactician and the Jewel, showing Ceniro valiantly vaulting over a rock, and his employer about to kick big fiery butt over on the right. And, of course, all the minor Player Characters around him with their names attached so I don’t forget who is who. A few of them you might know, if I drew them in greater detail! Some of my friends have already seen this. Apparently they like the horses. This is flattering.
…Actually you might know all of the PCs if I drew them in greater detail and you knew what my inspirations were. I’m only missing a couple of guys, like the shaman. He’s not at the part of the story this scene is from, which is a generic battle scene somewhere between chapters 4 and 5, I think? Continue reading
Actually, this picture could be called ‘Crimson and Seafoam Green’, but close enough.
Elinian fanart!!! (Eliwood/Ninian) First time in a long time, huh? Anyway, I drew this listening to the Enya Christmas song Stars and Midnight Blue. At least, it’s sort of wintry. And it’s on her Christmas CD. It’s more a love song than a Christmas song. Doesn’t matter, anyway. I made the picture wintry, and Ninian’s still in her bare-shoulders outfit because she’s half dragon and doesn’t care about the cold anyway.
Recovering from sick. And I found an RPG maker. Some sort of software called Sphere. Haven’t downloaded it yet; planning to wait until Christmas holidays. I think I should try turning The Tactician and the Jewel into a real RPG. Which is finished, by the way. That would be cool!
So… many… people… I think I’m losing my mind…
I felt like drawing people this day (17 August), so I started with Link, on the previous page, but he turned out rather creepy so you don’t get to see him. I think I was trying to draw his eyes like I observed them in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Which are purdy purdy. Anyway, then I gave up on trying to be better and just drew same-old same-old anime style. I tried to draw Marth (top left) and failed, but then I drew him again (top right) and it turned out better. Though with a bit too much angst, I think. Then I drew Esgalwen, and she came out well, though she and Flaria are disappointingly similar. Then I drew Roy, and he’s not the greatest, but whatever. And then Sain and Salir, because I haven’t for a while! Then I finished off with good ol’ Ceniro. Not my best portrait of him either, but whatever.
In one country, at least, they have scantily-clad women just like all the stereotypes… 😛
This is my attempt to put down the general fashion of the Griffonlands of the Adhemlenei, especially for women, which I had in my head for a pretty long time. Men wear much the same thing but I draw enough pretty guys already. So, as you can see, there are three basic styles – loose robe, loose robe with sleeves, and half-naked-ness. All are (apparently) suitable for agricultural work in their warm climate (hence the tans/dark skin), and that’s why the girl on the left is holding some grassy bits of stuff. The girl in the middle is more of a noblewoman, as you can tell from the way her hair is done up and the jewelled necklace in her hand. The girl on the right is very mobile all day long and so wears clothes that are even less restricting than loose robes. Her top is pinned in place. Her skirt has underwear built into it for modesty (v. important, you know!). The vague resemblance to Disney’s Pocahontas is unintentional. I also accidentally made her much bigger closer than the other two. That’s why it says ‘scale fail’ underneath.
My eraser was acting up really badly that day but I couldn’t find another one. Sorry.
Selyn: ANGST. Atton: SYMPATHETIC ANGST.
And there was sunshine, and no need for a lightswitch.
Star Wars KOTOR II! Rise of the Sith Lards. This occurs on Nar Shadaa, the ‘bounty hunter city planet’. You remember that guy who claims the Ebon Hawk was his before Davik stole it prior to KOTOR I? And he runs off to the ship when you give it to him all light-sided-ly? Then he gets killed by the slavers who claim that landing platform and you have to slaughter them all (though their boss is really hard). Then my character, Selyn Tekeri, agonizes over the fact that she ‘sent him to his death’, and Atton and Bao-Dur, my two main homeboys – I mean, party members, stand there, wanting to help but unable to really do much. Especially Atton, who loves her. (It was a tough call between Atton and Disciple… but it turns out that Disciple actually looks like an idiot in-game, as opposed to the screen-shots I saw before I played… whatever.) Continue reading
