Listening to all the wrong music.
For me it was Thursday

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.
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)
Happy Birthday Lusiel!
Hey! It’s Rose’s buddy Lusiel! Lu is to Rose what Flairé is to me, so all things being awesome equal, here is some quick birthday fanart for him. This is of Flairé’s favourite memory with him. Yes, her elves are small, and mine are huge. (shrug)
All right! I managed to survive another Tuesday! Quick check of homework, and then bedtime yay!
Flaire and Jen
Trying out my new markers. They’re no better and no worse than the old ones of the same brand, although for a moment I was very impressed for some reason. I forget what the reason was, because you can see how well they work on shading large areas. : P
Also there is no orangey-pinky-brown, so no skin colours for us! D :
I Know You’re Out There Somewhere: NaNoWriMo 2011 – chapter 3
More Tharash! There are some italics in this chapter which I have not added yet. Will deal with that later.
Chapter 3
Illinia turned this way and that, trying to see all the people talking. “Valiensin!”
The tall elf paddled after her through the rift, grinning. “Sorry, lassie, my own conscience just couldn’t let you run off into the unknown like that. I’ll see you to land.”
“Valiensin?” said the strange man on the raft. “What kind of fool name is Valiensin, Flairé?”
Valiensin gave the man an unimpressed look. “It’s my name in that world, Tharash. Why don’t you introduce yourself to the young lady, now.”
The wizard flicked a hand dismissively. “For all you know, she’s one of the ones messing with my rifts!”
Valiensin snorted. “Are you kidding me? She is totally not, and you’re the one leaving your rifts open all over the place. That’s how I keep getting around, you know.”
Tharash grimaced. “I leave them open on purpose for you, silly elf. I’m afraid you shan’t be getting back to the Adhemlenei by this one. This isn’t the one you came through.”
Valiensin’s eyebrows shot up towards his hairline, and Illinia felt obliged to intervene. Continue reading
I Know You’re Out There Somewhere: NaNoWriMo2011, chapter 2
LONG CHAPTER IS LONG
It’s like 15 pages long. You have been warned. But there are two cameos in it. One of them doesn’t shut up. The other may or may not be accurate.
Working on Chapter 5 at the moment… Almost done the first quest. Then on to the second quest. There are three quests in all. I wish my fingers would know the words I want to put down super-fast so I can get through the stuff that I know for certain. I keep wishing this. Going to try to get to 25,000 words tonight… If I do write super-fast, how many can I get?
There will be some Eros and Psyche up tomorrow, so check again then! : D
EDIT: May 2013: adjusted the Tharash dialogue according to feedback. Can’t seem to fit any more sarcasm in there, though, so that will have to stay out.
Flairé Poster
Click for larger size! I spent a while working on this one, and it turned out… not too bad, I have to say. The sunset came out pretty much how I wanted it, and Flairé too. Yes, that means much too bright and colourful… whatever. Leslie… is much too small. But I fail at perspective anyway… Anyway, she liked it, and that’s what matters.
P.S. If I ever get a car, I am going to name it Norma.
10 Character Meme
Click for insanity. Yeah, I kinda ran out of inspiration at the end… and one of the words is maybe not wholly PG, but some of them are not too bad. I like the one of Math defending me from EbilTam. Also the one where Flairé has to marry someone came out pretty much how I wanted it too, but the one of Flairé and Marteth camping I wish I’d been able to do better. Maybe I’ll just do it as a picture sometime.
So that’s what I’ve been doing instead of writing or anything useful.
If any of the panels aren’t clear, let me know so I can make it clear. : P
Bit of clarification anyway… Layalin isn’t joking when she says she’s going to die too – kalmaeirin elves have a heart condition that means they can literally break their hearts when they lose someone particularly dear to them. Of course, it would not be the fault of a car crash. : P
10 characters for a meme
Working on the hilarious 10 character meme. You can probably guess at the answers if you know it already… but they might not be what you expect! I thought some of these turned out rather well. Probably stolen from Colby, but it’s been so long I’ve forgotten. I only just got around to it. : P
Also editting Chapter 2 of the novel. Split it into two chapters, so Tam’s moment of glory is now in Chapter 3. Chapter 2 is still veeeery rough. Not happy with most of it. I may need to chop it out and rewrite it by itself a few times. Wondering how Chapter 3 will go, since I’ve never written it before. Flaer made a long internal monologue about how useless anger is… and then flips out at a dragon for being stupid. What a silly boy.
What else? Um, not much. Obsessing unhealthily over my DevArt. Added like five bazillion pictures to my favourites. Guess I should add more of my own stuff. I think I will stick to colour stuff, because the pencil stuff is not so impressive. More or less. If there’s something on Adhemlenei you think I should post on DevArt, tell me. : P
Also dug up my Tour links again in preparation for a couple weeks from now… Go Andy! And Cadel! And Ryder! Okay, I guess I can wait until it actually gets going. It’s gonna be amazing on the new TV.
