Oh hei, it’s a new page. Despite the problem mentioned last week not being really resolved, I can’t stay serious forever. I really want to do this project, so unless I get an email telling me to stick my head in a bucket, I’m gonna keep plowing on.
I think Flairé in panel 3 is pretty. : ) He’s kind of sad, but pretty too. (But no more bare shoulders. XD )
And it’s our brave (actually – normal-couraged) tactician to next get his mug in colour. He’s from Fire Emblem 7 and he is quiet and smart and idealistic and likes wandering a LOT.
His boots are really worn out so he’s holding the leg parts together with bandages and string. Heheh.
Same colouring technique as last time. If I leave out the black outline, it looks kind of like a watercolour which is kind of cool. Except he doesn’t have eyelashes so he looks like a freak.
I think I should learn to draw Ceniro head-on because the back of his hair changes depending on which view I drew him from. : P
Hey! I coloured a portrait for a personal biography page! In this case, it’s the unassuming and shy Esgalwen, who lives in Mirkwood and dances and is married to a blonde.
I cheated. I selected the pencil with the magic wand tool (okay, I selected the not-pencil and clicked inverse) and then filled in with black, creating that funky outline. …It took me half an hour and looks decent. I’m satisfied. It remains to be seen whether I colour the other bios like that or not.
Even more sloppy colouring than last week, but Michael’s hair is at least the right colour now. (headdesk) That was embarrassing. Not that anyone noticed. <_< >_>
Yeah, I don’t know. There’s no plausible explanation for these scenarios. They’re just fun. *coughcoughAWIZARDDIDITcoughcough* : D
OMIGOSH Flairé’s head shrunk! Also he’s not as hot as last week. Oh well. Enjoy it while you can, coz the shirt goes back on next week! (pats shoulderblades)
Flairé: (*jumps*)
Sorry, buddy. Couldn’t resist. XD
Hi! Would you like to see a big version of the new header? Of course you would. XD Click for big version!
So why these people? Why not more actual Adhemlenei characters? Well, (*pompous tone of voice*) here at Adhemlenei, we encourage diversity. So, the fact that only one character on this header comes from the Adhemlenei makes no difference. My head is full of lots of stuff!
But yeah, there’s Flairé, because he is awesome and my favourite, and then there’s Ceniro, and Rana, and Esgalwen, and my guardian angel… I’m not sure why he showed up.
Flairé: Because you think he’s hot.
Ooookay, besides that. I mean, I can draw him any time I want, but why now?
So that’s representing the kalmaei, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Middle Earth. And me. Twice. : P
In case you didn’t see them yet, you should scroll down and check out the latest two pages of Eros and Psyche, and then go to the next page and look at Aur, because I drew an Aur that looks like Aur. (He’s from the Wayrift webcomic, which made of win.)
Hi! These are the old header and background for Adhemlenei.com. By the time you see this, it should look quite different. Unless you were sneaking around early. <_< >_> But I’m rather happy with how these turned out, so you can enjoy them too!
I thought I’d posted these before, but I guess I didn’t… Or the old header from aviart/elfinesse.html. Oh well. It’s not like it matters, anyway.
Heehee, and we’re off! Enjoy the fanservice (such as it is) while it lasts because it might be a few months before you get any more. ; ) This page did not take as long as I feared it would. But I did a hack job on the colouring. Whatever.
Yes, Flairé does realize he’s asking a rather difficult thing of Michael, not to pop up when either of them would be scared witless.
But Flairé still has some of his wits. Oh, he’s never completely witless. XD
He was pretty mad when he found out I was actually going to draw this part. He was all like “srsly? nuu!” and I was like “well, that’s how you told it!” and he was like “but I told you it because it was funny for you, not so it could be funny for the internetz!” and I was like “too bad, hon!” and he was like “aww.” And then we were friends again. : D
…He doesn’t like being seen with no shirt. At all. Even though imo he is hot. He’s just… very very modest.
Also, I’m really sorry to Michael for drawing him with elastic arms. (sigh) I think I’ll fix that. EDIT: fixed. 😕 Sort of.
Add handshakes to the list of things I can’t draw.
Whee! New project #2! Click for large version!
I’m going with a cell-shaded look because I think once I get the hang of it, it will be faster than the painterly look, like what I used in the angel picture or the Ceniro at Sunset picture. Although it was a pain colouring that mountain, I’ll tell you that. I have no idea what I’m doing and for the random wolf I used no reference.
Oh yeah, so the people on the left… I should just tell you they are not to scale with the people to the right. Organist is only as tall as I am, so it’s natural that Flairé should tower over him, but the girl with the blonde/purple hair should be at least 6’6″ and she doesn’t look that. But they are not to scale because they are not as important. : )
Is the pink arrow okay? I thought it added some much needed incongruity to the scene. Also Flairé probably should be holding a pink marker but I thought that would be over the top.
Organist may not look an awful lot like Organist yet, but I have… 71 pages to try and get that right THIS EPISODE. Then there’s the next episode.
The Totally Not-Canon Adventures will update every Sunday as long as I have pages! Probably late Sunday night… try Monday mornings if you’re lazy and want to be safe.
And check back tomorrow for something nearly as cool, imo.
Aaand we’re ready to start the first chapter, with a simplistic sorta fingerpainting style. Don’t worry, the comic itself is in b/w so it won’t look this messy. (NOTE – actually, yes it will. : P ) I’m really not worried about artistic quality for the comic; I just want to present a story visually without taking away from my schoolwork very much. I may get better just from practicing drawing everyday or whatever, or I may not. I really don’t know. This is not as high-priority to me as the Totally Not-Canon Adventures. So I feel I can get away with some light-hearted sloppiness.
Now that I’ve defended my laziness in full, on with the story! First page up Monday. After the first Flairé page.
Okay. So this is the finished version of the cover. Actually I was planning to tidy up the sketch cover considerably, but then… I decided it was cute and didn’t really matter.
So, check back Friday sometime because the first page of Eros+Psyche will go up! I hope this story is enjoyable despite me just scribbling around with the art. : P
Cheers!
