*staaaaaare* D8
Wow, I did a lot of pictures on March 10th this year. And wow, Gullac looks incredibly like a creepy stalker. He’s not, honestly. I was trying to draw realistic curls from no reference point whatsoever.
I so rule, guys.
Eeek! Sorry, guys. I know there are pictures to put up and guess what happened instead.
I bought Sims 3 and SSBBrawl on Friday. Now I am broke and highly entertained.
Anyway, this picture is of Gullac, which is pretty clear, a quick scribbly sketch of him dancing on a cliff beside a tree in boots and a wrinkly loose tunic. I think maybe his hips are a little too girly here. But, you know. It’s Gullac. He’s one of those kalmaei who loooves confusing people.
The Super Smash Bros. Brawl game is really fabulous. My brother and I got really really excited yesterday when we were playing Story Mode and our favourite characters started showing up gradually. We are 15% of the way through and we played for two hours. Yum! …Marth is delicious. Deliciously awesome, that is. (omigosh, he’s even faster than before, and hits harder, too! and he has at least one new move! and he still speaks in Japanese! and the cutscene with Meta Knight is super fantastic!)
yo si te amo y vivo por ti / mi niña querida
And once more we have a picture of Gullac, performing Los Adolescentes, his theme song, in a modern nightclub with a mic system. He’s at a rather passionate point in the song (end of the second refrain), and this is actually prior to sliding down the mic stand still. Natalia did translate the lyrics for me, for which I offer a thousand thanks, and they do fit Gullac quite well. Nothing specific, of course, since I’m pretty sure he never had a girlfriend, at least not seriously, but it’s the sort of stuff that suits him.
Not sure if this one turned out well or not. I’ll think on that whenever I see it. His hands turned out well, at least.
Hey there, cutie! I’m-a gonna sing a song fer ye, ‘kay?
And we return to Mister Attention-Hog, perched on one of those high stools at the beginning of his evening performance of Los Adolescentes, his (tentative) theme song, in some random nightclub.
And that’s pretty much all I can say about that. Except I’m pleased with his face/smile.
“amooooooooooor or sumthin’ like that”
The original title of this picture was “Gullac is an attention w****. <3”, but I thought that might not be very good for a G-rated website. This picture was drawn while listening to Los Adolescentes, which could possibly be his theme song if Natalia ever gets back to me on the meaning of the lyrics. It pictures him in the modern day human world, singing in a nightclub, sliding down the mic stand because it makes him look sexy. : P Except mine didn’t turn out so well because I’m not very good with extremely tall and skinny anatomy. And probably for other reasons as well.
The next two pictures elaborate on this topic. The nightclub topic.
Just walked around Dragon’s Gullet last night in Guild Wars. My group only KO’d once! It’s larger than I expected. But not much is there. It’s just another cool-looking area. Next up is going to be North Kryta, possibly with certain of my favourite NPCs in tow…
Oh that little tease…
Eeeee, it’s Gullac. <3 <3 He’s just a heartthrob, really. You see those curls? They ought to be much curlier, but when he shakes them just so, and they bounce, every girl watching has to sigh.
Well, not really. But he’s considered pretty darn attractive in the middle of the Lilemlen. Zela and Flaer are extremely confused by the curls. They can’t figure out where they came from. But he has proof that he’s their son. And once they invent genetics testing they can dig up what’s left of his corpse and find out for certain. Except that I already know for certain that he’s their son. So I should quit with the morbidness. You wouldn’t think there was anything morbid about Gullac, would you? Well, he can be a little bit creepy. But he’s a very nice guy once you get to know him. : P
If you’re confused about his pose, he’s sitting slightly curled up with his elbows on his knees.
And now, the finished picture! Ehhhhh… I actually used the tablet a lot less with the shading/highlighting. I used it a lot for the hair, of course, but the clothes… just didn’t work with that. I need to find a way to change the settings so the harder I press doesn’t affect the width of the stroke, but how dark/light it is.
Parts I’m pleased with: Marteth’s dark purple coat; Gullac’s teal shirt; Bayn’s grey jacket. Coincidentally, they’re the ones you can see least of. : P Tam’s jacket is a close second, though. His shoulders came out half-way decent. I’m also happy with all the hair and Flairé’s face, which was worrying me. Doesn’t he look like his parents? X D
I realize that the ink lines only get in the way now. I think I will experiment in the future with not having hard lines at all. With the tablet, I can do that now!
I’m collecting Candy-cane shards in Guild Wars so I can get the Candy-cane daggers (for Gullac, when I make him) and the Peppermint Scythe (because it’s cool). I already have a Candy-cane spear. I wonder if these weapons break if you use them too much? I don’t think so. But I’m a little nervous about actually using them in battle.
Gullac: I’m not! (sproings around like a frog, brandishing his daggers and laughing insanely)
Dude, I haven’t gotten them yet. Give me another hour.
(sings and dances) I wuv my tablet, I wuv my tablet…
I’m using this picture as a tutorial to teach myself how to use it, and to relearn Photoshop as the version that came with it is similar to the one we have downstairs (Photoshop 5) but of course it’s different. So I will be shading and highlighting and making shiny over the next week or so. When I’m not playing Wii Sports Resort (that is a pretty darn good game, if I do say so). The tablet is very handy in that I don’t have to switch brushes to do the the tiny corners – I just let up on the pressure. It’s great! And of course it feels like drawing which is very comfortable. It’s a pretty cool device.
I’m not sure how I ended up colour co-ordinated with Flairé’s princely outfit. I think it’s because it’s a generally accepted fact that I look decent in black and red, and his outfit just happens to be black and red. Hmmmm. Oh, I just noticed that part of it is not the right colour (silly me), so I’ll fix that tomorrow. Esgalwen, too, is usually in red, but she also likes blue and green. …Marteth looks like his eyes are crossed. I better fix that. And maybe I’d better recolour Jalril’s tunic so it doesn’t look like part of his skin.
Y’know, the more I look at this picture, the more I like it. Is that bad?
Whoa! Lots of pictures today, folks! Hold on!
First, a very Merry Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate) from all of us here at the Adhemlenei. People in this picture: Marteth, Bayn, Gyoriing, Lyrestan; Mathaning, Gullac, Zela, Flaer, Yoeath; Flaria, Jalril, Flairé, Tam, Rana; Ceniro, Leslie, Jennifer, Esgalwen. Quite a number! Didn’t have room to fit in Silver, but we all know she wishes you a Merry Christmas too. Yes? Yes.
Jalril is just embarrassed at standing next to a girl. Who’s dating his brother. She thinks he’s funny. And cute. Tam is a cloooooowwwwn. X D Flairé is wearing his princely-type tunic which you haven’t seen before! It’s red. Continue reading
What a load of wierdos.
It’s Flairé! And all six of his siblings! Woot woot. I drew this coming home from the Bard on the Beach expedition (wow, that was so fun). I asked L what I should draw on the way back, the seven children of Flaer/Zela, or the Flairé-rides-through-the-forest sequence (which I did eventually draw, so hold on to your horses – ahem), and she said the seven persons. So I did. Took me a couple days. I had to redo Marteth, as he looked like a twin of Menad. They still do, actually. Pickles. Bayn looks oversized… I guess that’s what he is, but I thought the effect would be different. And Gullac is supposed to be taller than Mathaning. He’s just hanging off his shoulder. I had fun with the boots, though!
…Gullac is so glompable. (……runs and glomps)
Gullac: AAAAAAAAAAGH GETITOFF GETITOFF GETITOFF
Mathaning: (cracks up)

Btw the Olympic torch is in town and those ridiculous helicopters keep circling.
