“Maybe the children of a lesser god…”

Leave a Reply

This picture is inspired by “Kings and Queens” by the band 30 Seconds to Mars, and it is a most excellent song. It has a good baseline. Anyway, here’s Tseo on Hoarwilk his dragon, soaring through the clouds together. Go listen to it and look again!

Note to self – obtain the NeonDragon book about drawing humanoid characters. Also practice with the dragon character book.

This will be painted at some point! Hopefully I can do a wispy painty painting and tell you that that’s how the original looks where it is slapped on some wall at the Dragonland castle. <3

Some notes on why the picture is the way it is: all the sapient creatures in the Adhemlenei are ridden bare-back. If you think this looks uncomfortable, what with Hoarwilk’s backbonespikes, well, they deal with it. Also, you may notice that Hoarwilk has rather human-like paws, whereas Silver in the book cover does not so much. This is on purpose. Silver comes from a family that has fairly cat-like paws; Hoarwilk (who is gold, by the way) has more lizard-like toes. Also Hoarwilk has cheek fins and no head-horns.

Dragons with head-horns: Silver, Lumi (you don’t know him yet), Kirstril’s partner (I don’t know him yet!), Shlaes’ partner.

Dragons without head-horns: Craegaarhck, Hoarwilk.

Angel

Anatomy practice that somehow turned into my angel. : ) His shins are not long enough? Just enough to make him seem top-heavy, not by much.

I am much closer to having a clean room!!! I actually vacuumed today!!

I will post a really good picture tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Math Ready to Fly

Leave a Reply

Hmm. I don’t remember what music I was listening to when I drew this. It was prolly the Holst Planets or something like that.

Anyway, Math and his strap-on-wings! If I ever draw the other side, maybe you’ll see more how they work! Or not, because there’s a lot under those fluffy brown feathers. Suffice it to say he can actually fly with those, and he’s standing on the roof of the castle, about to demonstrate it. : P

You may note his similarity in appearance to another of my characters. Actually, I’m trying to decide which of my two characters should resemble my friend who has straight hair on the top of his head but curly hair where it gets longer. I shall figure it out soon.

Dragonland Trio

The big three of the Dragonland; Kirstril, Shlaes, and Tseo. Shlaes is in the back, with the poofy white hair. Kirstril in the front with the messy black hair. Tseo over on the right, in one of his longer-hair phases. I like how Kirstril came out.

Y’know, my ScriptFrenzy script is not going so well. I really don’t know how to make it interesting. They say “Make the hero awesome, then make him suffer. Make him (or her, really; I still don’t know if the heroine should be the protagonist) want something really badly and then put obstacles in his/her way. Also make the bad guy interesting and relatable.” …I guess my hero isn’t awesome enough yet because I keep worrying about what RedLetterMedia said in their Star Wars II review: “Just coz you put obstacles in a romance don’t mean we’ll care about it.”

I’ve had too much advice and not enough inspiration. Anyone want to kick me into pushing through to the next part?

I know the climax will be great. Edmund gets to shoot somebody. But how they get there I have no cluuueeee…

These are some of the reasons I decided not to write the Dragonland script. I don’t wanna write something boring, and I don’t know Kirstril well enough to trust his charisma to push me through to the end (sexy as he is in this picture).

Layalin

Layalin, the red-curly-haired princess of unicorns. I’m pretty sure this was originally for the bio page (it has details on the clothes! I never do that!) HOWEVER her arms are too long and her legs are too short. And I think she’s holding, like, a music scroll or something, but since we don’t necessarily know that it just looks like she’s scrunching up a roll of useless fabric.

Math

Isn’t Math adorable? I think this might be intended for his character page but I forget; I’ll figure that out later. For now, enjoy the littlest brother. But please don’t ask me if he’s wearing pants or not because I don’t know.

Spent most of today hanging out with my awesome percussionist buddy I haven’t seen in 6 months. But more importantly, the grad recital went very well! I’m happy with how I played and zomg my organist friend showed up even though he said he was busy! (It’s spring break; he’s not busy.) But it was a huge surprise and meant a lot to me in addition to all the other wonderful people who also came, like church music people! And two priests! And RCCO Victoria people! And of course a whole boatload of friends, one of whom I will forever remember fondly because he whooped (loudly) when I announced the composer of my encore (the one and only Nobuo Uematsu).  Anyway, we had enough food for everyone, and I was given armfuls of flowers (wah) which are now all over the house. On to the next challenge! (which involves logarithms, prolly.)

Will post vids when I get ’em.

Shirtless Gullac lol

SHIRTLESS GULLAC! Trying to figure out male anatomy without using a reference, because shirtless guys make me uncomfortable. <_< But shirtless Gullac makes me laugh, because he just has such flamboyance with or without a shirt.

Apologies for the terrible scanning job. I don’t know how to make it better with such a small scanner.

Marteth is not amused. But the random fangirl (who isn’t me, fyi) is.

Recital tonight! Eeeeee…

Hunter, Hunted

Tam! In… the forest… hunting the Black Unicorn… which is stalking him. Yeah. Not a happy picture; the beginning of Tam’s end. But I think the details of his outfit are pretty good. …If I did this in colour it would be super dramatic. Mmmm.

I actually have a bunch of pencil drawings I could post. Maybe later this week.

Everything is under control…….. Also my acceptance to UWO is pending! Yay?
