The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé

First     Back       Next

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.

Wilderness

wilderness

This painting has been in my head since… Sunday, July 17th, around 5:00 PM. This was during an Evensong sermon at CCC, in which the pastor spoke to us organists about how we were all wonderful people but not adventurous unless pushed, so she challenged us to ‘step out of the box and head into the wilderness’ like John the Baptist and Christ and anyone else you can think of who went into the wilderness. Now that day I was really having a bad day, so the idea of ‘wilderness’ terrified me and I nearly broke down in church… but I did get this picture in my head, and I decided I felt like painting it because it’s an interesting picture.

Mini Sketches

Brightly coloured faces!

Brightly coloured faces!

And then there's Joe.

And then there’s Joe.

Hi! This is a small, brightly coloured, neatly arranged sample of sketches that I accomplished at school or related to school, as these are on mini-flashcards. The blue and green ones are on Latin flashcards; the pink ones are when I decided to devote a whole pack of these to drawing – they come on a handy ring, even. Continue reading

“You really are an idiot.”

Someone is too excited. Is he teasing?

Someone is too excited. Is he teasing?

“You really are an idiot.” – Menad

I tried drawing Flairé being excited and cutesy, I forget why, but he didn’t turn out because I was lazy. So I drew pretty-boy Menad, his next youngest brother, behind him. Menad is traditionally grumpy and dignified, though he started out as a serious, bright-eyed child. So now he’s physically gorgeous and also spoiled and disapproves of his brother. …I’m wondering how much of this is true. I’m thinking I should change him up a bit for greater character development.

One thing I will say, though, is that he and Marteth absolutely loathe each other.

P.S. This is the 100th tagged post of Flairé. Rather underwhelming, no?

Sketchbook cover

ttncaofep1bookcover

By request, here is the cover of the sketchbook that the Leslie/Flairé comic was drawn in. I bought a little package of Japanese paper and proceeded to cover up the complete doke who previously adorned this book. He was rollerblading with a giant pen.

Flairé and Leslie are represented, but the rest is just random.

I will not be updating for a little while. But I have some stuff for you when I start again!

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Waking Up

Leslie: Was it a dream? I could have sworn I fell asleep in the practice room… Look, there’s my backpack and my music books, and my keys…

She goes to look out the window of her dorm, and then turns away to her computer (Faceborg!! j/k). But a mysterious smile still hangs in the reflections in the window…


THE LASTEST PAGE!! I’m actually feeling a little bit sad that I don’t have to do it anymore. The weekly scramble to draw and colour pages on Sunday… continuing a story I don’t even know if anyone reads or cares about or finds interesting… but that’s okay! A new story MIGHT start in September! Anyway, I’ve been told by other artists this is completely normal. And in fact I’m not that sad. It’s nice to finish something! I have a lot of things I want to finish!

The next thing I am planning to finish is Ephraim’s Story. So perhaps you will see some chapters of that going up. I have to be careful because I have Provincials to practice for. And after that organ to practice like crazy.

Also I have completely fallen in love (again) with Eric Beaudry’s voice. I’d marry that voice. srsly.

Leslie never forgot how that music made her feel – all excited and relaxed at the same time, as the songs grew more and more lyrical, peaceful, and happy. But she could never remember how it sounded. (falls asleep on chair…)


And music happens with some trite totally cliché’d voiceover narrator. The colouring went better this week, but I coloured in some of the wrong squares in the blanket so I had to fix it in Photoshop. Boring page, I know. But come Sunday for the shocking conclusion!

Flairé: The conclusion is shocking?

Yes! It is! Weren’t you there?

Flairé: I… yeah…

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Flairé Never Shuts Up

Flaria: And now, time for some music!

Flairé: Yeah!

Flairé: And I’ll need my pipe, and my… whistle? and those drums, and the guitar…

Flaria: wouldja shut up for two seconds together?


Ever get the feeling they’re siblings? LOL. So yeah, now they’re going to play some music. Not much else to say. Except that for some reason when I was inking my hand was sliding all over the place so there are some weird smudges everywhere and I’m not really happy with anyone’s face except for Flairé and Leslie’s in the bottom panel. And Flairé’s supposed to have a stool, but I forgot to draw it. Oh well. He’ll have one on Wednesday. Also, this page has answered a question that many people – me – were asking about Deerfleet – does Deerfleet have pants? The answer seems to be YES HE DOES. Mystery solved!

Omigosh, only two more pages left! These last days have just whizzed by. I’ll be done soon!

In other news, we have lost our dear, beloved conductor Janos Sandor, who just retired from 15 years of conducting the UVic and GVYO orchestras. He died of cancer on Friday. He was always cheerful and upbeat, and an amazing musician. Everyone loved him. We will miss him terribly.

Leslie: I know… I should get more sleep at night.

Jen: You should! ; D Just teasing. We’ve been over this before. Anyway, maybe you can come here to unwind sometimes now! (Leslie: nod nod)

Flaria: If the frequency by which I’ve seen you and Esgalwen here is any indication, your nice friend will be here very often.

Flairé: You have to want to come, you know. Once you know the way, it’s easy, it seems.

Jen: That’s right!


Hey, it’s a page! I think I kind of overdid it with the warm comforting reds. : P And the walls are still mostly grey, so it… yeah. I can only assure you that it looks different in person.

So, yes. A page about people eating and talking about sleeping.
