Interruption

 

But mooooooooom...

But mooooooooom…

This is some fanart drawn for Aja and True Magic; it’s of the youthful, intelligent, and (if circumstances would allow it better) kind zomie Ted, in a random situation I just thought up. I’m very proud of this one, because it has an extensive background and shading. And a sort of a joke. I forget what Aja’s counterjoke was, but I’ll remember it sometime.

Young Menad as The Raven

Can't... see... where I'm going..... Maybe if I sit still I'll look wise

Can’t… see… where I’m going….. Maybe if I sit still I’ll look wise

This is Menad, the second of Zela’s sons, as a boy, in what might be called a ‘school play’. Except they didn’t really have ‘schools’. A ‘youth play’, perhaps. He’s being the wise and sage character, The Raven. That’s why his hair is all around his head like a big poofy shiny black ball. This was inspired by a dream I had.

The Prime of Ambition

He'd *have* to be 'Mr. Serene' to put up with the chibis...

He’d *have* to be ‘Mr. Serene’ to put up with the chibis…

This is my 2008 entry for the Prime of Ambition fanart contest. It’s of Jerome! I like Jerome. The guys in the back are all chibi versions of the other four characters. Than is greeting his hawk, Audriel is yelling at a stoic Eloise, and Kevin is looking at a butterfly. Not because I think he’s flighty; just because I couldn’t think of anything else for him to do.

Fangirls are awesome

And the fact that magenta and silver is a very snappy combination.

And the fact that magenta and silver is a very snappy combination.

Fangirls are awesome? Who the heck told Edgeworth that fangirls are awesome? I guess because in this picture there’s only one of them and she’s a polite, well-behaved tiny little girl. And yeah, it’s the cravat that gets them. This is Edgeworth from the Phoenix Wright games. He’s a prosecuting attorney. He’s getting his own game! Which I cannot play for I have no DS. I should look into that; then I can play PW and FE11. Which is more than just FE11!

Marteth

...I really can't think of anything funny to say about him.

…I really can’t think of anything funny to say about him.

Iiiiiiiit’s Marteth! Fourth youngest child of Zela and Flaer, and the eldest of the abducted children, and the proudest. I had a dream in which he looked like that, and so I tried to draw him. He turned out a little too creepy, but he looks really shockingly realistic. As you can see, his hair looks a lot less stupid now. I think he was in a storm or something and that’s where the wind is coming from. I think I used my weighted art pencils…

Finished Ephraim Chapter 4. Fort Rigwald outline is in progress, but I have to wait a little in order to find out what the really important parts are. ‘m looking forward to the Duessal chapter, actually.

And of course I’m still daydreaming about working on Ceniro’s stories. I need to drag out my first draft, though, which is not yet on this computer, and compare it to the five chapters that are on this computer, and then get to work on it… I want to finish Lyn’s story after I finish Ephraim’s story. Then I will work on the potentially awesome Pent’s story.

Fire Emblem real life

Who wants to be the pegasus knight?!?

Who wants to be the pegasus knight?!?

Whoohoo! This is a picture of all my closest friends at the time of drawing. Most of them are still my closest friends, although there ought to be more of them now. We’re all Fire Emblem characters. From L-R, there’s Michael the pianist, the red-armoured cavalier, KevinT the pianist, the ‘mercenary’ class swordsman, Claire the soprano, the pegasus knight, L the pianist, the archer, Jennifer the pianist, apparently switching classes to be a fire mage (let’s say this is FE7 so it’s easier, anyway), Nathan the clarinetist, the armour knight, lx-sama, the dark-magic wielding shaman, Michael the violist, the green-armoured cavalier (did you see what I did thar), and .t, the fighter-class axeman. Scale is a little skewed because I started it as a picture of N, because I was discussing it as him and I was quite sure he would be a great armour knight, and then added everybody else later. I’m happy with N, lx, .t, L, and Claire. The rest are not so good, but passable… very close to passable…

So I sent out this picture, coloured in Photoshop, as a sort of invitation to my birthday that year. It was a great gathering. Claire and lx sat next to each other, though, which meant I nearly died of laughter. Teehee.

Dramatic TdF today… poor Cadel. Not a good year for him. Next time! On the other hand, Andy Schleck is CUTE. : D

Still plugging away at Ephraim’s Chapter 4. Nearly done that; getting ready for the Siege of Fort Rigwald. Can’t remember what happens at the end of the chapter, though, because I have a drawing from last summer of Ephraim questioning an enemy soldier after the dust settles but I have no memory of what he acutally say. Also I’m getting ideas for what Ceniro did between Lyn’s campaign and the year after that.

Silver haired Bishounen

One wears black leather, the other white silk. Which one kicks more butt?

One wears black leather, the other white silk. Which one kicks more butt?

Anyone else feel that the preponderance of tall, lean, strong men with loooooong silver/white hair in Japanese things is glaringly obvious? Well, I decided to draw a picture of both of them. Sesshie, as you can see, wears clothes much much closer to what he actually wears in the anime. Sephie, on the other hand, petered out before I got to his feet. I think I actually like Sesshoumaru better, because he’s not really the villain… also I think he is more handsome than Sephiroth, despite Seph’s black leather.

Not much to say except I’d better hurry – I work today, and then I have to practice piano AND watch the TdF! Oh noes! Also that I went to the Fire Emblem Wikia yesterday and OHMIGOSH THEY HAVE FIRE EMBLEM 8 ART. FOR GLEN AND FORDE AND FRANZ. (glomps Franz) I’ve never seen the art of those characters before yesterday. Lyon’s art is a bit lame, though. Also, Artur, INNES, Knoll, Marisa, NATASHA, Tana, and Syrene are awesome in artwork as well. And Cormag and Colm. And Deussel. Natasha is incredibly beautiful. No wonder Joshua fell for her. Hayden looks evil, though. And the artwork that I’ve seen before, well, Seth and Eirika and Ephraim are all still awesome. And Ewan. And Amelia. Heck, everbody’s awesome. I’m just excited that I can see their artwork.

Franz: Can you stop hugging me now?

Sitting

Hun, your head is still balloon-shaped...

Hun, your head is still balloon-shaped…

So, this is the follow-up to my earlier picture here. This one is not as good as the first one. Bits of body are shaped better, but a lot of it is shaped worse. Rana’s eyes are reeeaaaally weird. I like her ankles but the rest of her is even more awful than the last time. She’s too small, too. Link has somewhat more detail, except on lower arms and legs, than last time, and his face is at least recognizable…

Drunk

I hate booze but I love chocolate. Go figure.

I hate booze but I love chocolate. Go figure.

This is me, day before Christmas, and someone gave Mom a big box of those brandy-filled cashew shaped chocolates, and I had a few. Not enough to get like this, certainly. I had about three. But I thought it would be a funny idea if I did get drunk on them. So here you are. And guys, this is as close to drunk as you are getting me. That means you, Ced.
