Swirly?
This is the sequel to the first Dance picture, and I don’t know if it’s better or worse than the first one. For one thing, I’m not really sure what I originally wanted!

Heads, and Ceniro’s Sprite sketches
Preparation for things to come!
This is a bunch of pictures on one page; the top three are Scherene and my different styles contrasted, with me drawing Marth and Flair(é). On the back of this picture is a written description of Ceniro:
“Lyn watched Ceniro. As he attacked, he walked the same speed that he normally did, but when in (close) range of the enemy, his staff blurred through the air, stopping only when it came into contact with bandit flesh. It took only three hits – 2 to the vulnerable sides and ribs and one to the head – to knock one unconscious.”
Now, part of the rules for actually using Ceniro include the fact that his staff does not kill – when an enemy is at 1 HP, it falls unconscious exactly the same way as when affected by a sleep staff.
Only three more pictures left in this sketchbook! Then more minis!
Dance I
Can you hear the music?
This is Flair, and Zela, dancing. It’s not one of my worse pictures, but their heads seem a bit small. I think they need to be more slender. And the legs aren’t too short, for once… Flair in particular has a nice face. Zela’s supposed to be the exact same height as he is, so she’s bending a little. Doesn’t actually look so bad on the computer.
I can’t draw hands yet.
At the Pool
Fun in the sun
Where does this picture go? It’s envisioned in a Super Smash Bros. Melee setting, but I don’t have enough pictures to warrant an SSBM gallery. Fire Emblem people outnumber the Zelda people, but… well, ergh!
It’s in the Moshou no Nazo (Fire Emblem 1, I believe) gallery.
The walking people are Marth, Roy, Link, Rana, and Zelda. Lilina (looking ugly) and Sheeda are already in the pool.
I draw such short legs. Rrr. Nice sunglasses, though. Link’s got the fairies in his hat. His head is flat. I think Roy thinks he’s Superman or something. ^_^7
Home Again
Where’s the fairy?
I can’t decide whether to love this picture or hate it. I love it because of the composition, and the story it tells, and some of the little details like Zelda’s slippers, Rana’s dirty knees, and Link’s eyebrows. Yeah. I’m sorry it didn’t scan so well, but I’m still using sketchbooks because they’re handy to keep the originals all in one place. When I get a massive size scanner, I’ll redo them.
I hate it because it’s really bad anatomically. Link’s legs are too short. His arms are too long. Rana’s hands I never did because they were too scary. What the heck is up with those little stick figure fairies? And that building is supposed to be Link’s house… it’s not a mini-house, but it looks like it! Zelda’s toes are not the greatest, and I am the number one worst person at drawing folding-type chairs. Yet I do it so often. This one is pretty… original.
Back to things I like? I like Zelda’s dress. It’s based on a Greek-ish shirt that one of my friends had. I liked it. Also, Epona is supposed to look reeeaally smug, like only she could have brought Link home! The details of Link’s clothes are completely off because I didn’t consult official artwork beforehand.
The basic story is set post-Twilight Princess, and it’s that Zelda came over to relax and to visit Rana, who was working in the garden, and then Link came home from searching for monsters and was really happy to see everybody.
Scherene
My slightly elfy friend
Her name is Scherene and she plays fiddle.
LSF Commander Jun’ko Zane
Which of you boys wants a frying next?
This is from my brother’s game called Freelancer, about a futuristic society in which some group flees from some giant war in the solar system, and then find a new galaxy and colonize it. There are representatives of five groups: US, Japan, Britain, Spain, and Germany. Now they’re called Liberty, Kusari, Bretonnia, Hispania, and Rheinland, respectively. Those were also, incidentally, the names of the colony ships that brought them there. So some random hotshot young Bretonnian pilot named Edison Trent (“just call me Trent”) is on a space station in Liberty Space when it is randomly attacked and blown up, well, seemingly randomly anyway.
Then he’s on the Liberty capital planet, and bumps into this young beauty. She’s from Kusari, but doesn’t sound like it, and anyway LSF stands for Liberty Security Force, so she’s now a Liberty citizen. She’s the second main character. She and Eddie (I call him Eddie, I’m so bad ^_^7) make a good couple. But there’s nothing in the game about a relationship… it’s purely a ‘boys blow stuff up’ game. Mixed up with sinister aliens trying to retake over the universe. That part reminds me of Independence Day (which I hated and was way too freaked out to watch, and it was playing on the bus taking St. John Ambulancers back from a first aid competition. Ugh.).
She’s also called Juni for short.
Fingolfin vs. Morgoth
Prepare to die, obscure blob of doom!
Uh… Fingolfin has dark hair! DARK hair! That’s all this picture is to prove. It’s terrible. But he has DARK hair!
Just annoyed at all the Rolozo Tolkien artists doing him with streaming golden locks. Blah. o_O7
I guess Morgoth’s hammer (“Grond, Grond, Grond”) isn’t too bad. Do you think the ‘glowy elf king’ look is a bit over the top? It didn’t come out even that well in the original – perhaps because the original was a full page, and this has been shrunk because I don’t really care about it. ^_^7 How about the glowy elf king horse? And why hasn’t it run away yet?
Sain, Salir, and Alan
Happy family
Sain, his wife Salir, and their teenaged son Alan, who ends up as Roy’s red-headed cavalier. Lance, his best buddy, is Kent and Fiora’s son, so everything works out amazingly neatly. Alan doesn’t look much like himself, though. Salir, actually, looks a lot like the ‘generic village girl’ I was beginning to model her after in looks. She’s also wearing a longer dress because she doesn’t need to mess with boys’ heads anymore. And I’m bad at drawing hands.
Laugh, already, Sesshoumaru!
Isn’t it fun to laugh?
Sesshoumaru’s grumpy-ish, right? Konane’s trying to get him to lighten up. Well, perhaps not so much grumpy as ultra-serious. Konane looks pretty good, but I thought her hair was longer. Yes, I like the say she looks here.
Again, I had no idea how Sesshoumaru was dressed.
