X and Y
So this is what happens when Xanda and Yoia run into each other at the bar… Instant friendship? Yoia hasn’t gotten her alcohol yet, but that was the first thing she was going to do.She just got distracted by this young lady with great fashion sense. (…and yes, Yoia really is that ripped. This is her drinking outfit. Easier to flip tables in this than her court robes, which are still made for buttkicking, really. …I wonder what her war armour looks like? Probably more fur.)
Laekna, Xanda’s potential romantic interest, is in the background on the left, doing some reading, but she can sense her healing services may be of use later in the evening when tables start flying. And she is not impressed by the idea. Nu, Yoia’s husband, is on the right, himself resigned to the inevitable.
This picture was a nice break from reality. I may not have a lot to do, but my brain is offering me energy ultimatums and holding my self-esteem hostage. So I draw and write.
Boys at the Bar, Part 1
So. Tharash was feeling mopey, and Gullac’s innuendo wasn’t helping… so instead, Gullac decided to drag everyone out to the bar to get them sloshing drunk and send some of them home with girls (not Avarron, since Nari would murder everyone involved if that happened). Even though Gullac hates Tharash for making him look less crazy than he did previously. (He’s coping. He’s playing up his debonair side to make up for it.) Flairé came because Tharash is his friend, and Avarron came to make sure nothing blew up, because getting an overpowered chaos mage hammered is not really a good idea if you want your pub to keep standing.
So here they all are, sitting around the table… Tharash has a glass of whiskey, and there are three more bottles waiting – Gullac was somewhat overly generous – and Avarron has a glass of stout and Gullac has a glass (and bottle) of red wine, and Flairé has a daquiri (with a curly straw). But he’s going to help with the whiskey as soon as he’s done the daquiri.
In actual fact, Tharash was drunk and off to bed relatively quickly. Flairé went with to help him get home safe (although he travelled by rift, so who knows where they actually ended up). Gullac and Avarron stayed to chat, and Gullac finished the rest of the alcohol (no mean feat, you have to admit). There were some girls, but they didn’t go home with anyone.
But I am going to draw a picture of the bar exploding too, because that’d be funny. :3 Even if it didn’t actually happen.
Jayce and Flaria
Heheheheh. Inspired by Yllamse’s comment on the previous post. :3
Glomp
Yay! Embarrassing-Tharash time! Just a quick scribble based on some things.
Ninjabunny
A certain someone went by the nickname Nijntje, once upon a time… Well, that means ‘bunny’ in that language, but it looks kind of like the word ‘ninja’… put the pieces together from there.
RR Night Out, colour
This is a colour version of this lovely sketch by Yllamse; I asked her if I could colour it, and she said yes, so I did finally. : ) The scene is from the Wayrift forum roleplay The Rifted Riders, in which a bunch of us decided to roleplay our characters which we had submitted to the Wayrift Dragonrider contest. Here, the recruits have the evening off. So they go drinking, as one does. Xanda and Kali, of course, get dressed to the nines and get ready to go wild; Jayce is shyly curious; Tiarc’rie the fairy dragon is excited (and technically invisible to all but Jayce); Midnight the minidragon is wondering how to keep her friend Xanda from partying too hard; and Hrulash is grimly bringing up the rear, hoping that no one will embarrass them all.
It was a good roleplay. Too bad I got too lethargic to continue. (as far as I know, Hrulash took an injury in a battle against acidic swamp witches, was laid up in bed, and then prolly someone made him stay in bed until he actually recovered properly. I don’t even know. I haven’t checked the thread since then, except to get colour references for this picture. It doesn’t seem to have gone too far in page length, at least. Maybe we can pick it up again next September?) : D
Tharash
Tharash Kaern, void-mage, philosopher, rifter, lunatic, explorer, chaos mage, and all-round troublemaker, showing some skillz in the void. Background stock from here. A few things of the painting… the shading was very, very lazy – I basically just made a soft-light layer, filled it in with dark grey, and erased bits. And then added more soft-light layers. lowered the saturation on pretty much everything except the magic swirlies and the background. The strange lightening stuff between the two balls of light was created by splashing around some clouds in pale blue and then dark grey, upping the contrast (and sometimes brightening) beyond some sanity and then copy-pasting the bit I liked using the selecting-brush tool (which auto-feathers the edges, yay) and pasting at 74% opacity. Also I only had one mug of tea while painting this. Also in the background is one of these brushes. In the foreground, the yellow flecks are from this brush-pack. There! I think I’ve credited everyone. : )
February Double Date
Hee! The Sygnus fans got together and sekritly made a calender for Wren and Syn, and I drew February. You should see the other pages! They are completely fantastic and beautiful. I will probably link to the calender when it appears on Zazzle. I hope it’s available in Canada?
Gyoriing takes Layalin, and Zento takes YuKai on a double date. But Zento can’t help flirting with shy Layalin… Good thing everyone knows he’s not serious! : D
Zento was totally a creeper the first time I tried him: Not his fault, but hair just can’t go in front of his eyes. My fellow conspirators and I had a good laugh over that… but it also meant he was the last one to get finished, because he was being difficult. : P
Also if he had that expression on his face when talking to Layalin, he would probably get flattened by Gyoriing a half-second later…
Oh, and I also resized both my kalmaei and Wren’s Nefolians, because Gyoriing is 7’6″… Layalin is about 6’8″… and Zento is, what, 5’2″ and YuKai 4’10”??? That wouldn’t work at all! So sorta a little AU in that they are the same height frame. : D
Crowtiger
Well! This is the result of several hours of silliness. But the end result was that Tharash turned Flairé into a crowtiger griffon. XD Flairé was super excited and spent about an hour bouncing around asking people if they wanted a ride. Jayce actually took him up on it! (not depicted: Jayce or his terror at Flairé’s reckless flying)
