It's a little tiny elf-person-thing! ...Wait, that's me.

It’s a little tiny elf-person-thing! …Wait, that’s me.

This I drew to illustrate Zela’s sword for the purposes of obtaining my own for Hallowe’en. That’s why this picture DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ZELA AT ALL. I was planning to ink and colour me, and then draw Zela in pencil behind, showing that I’m very short in comparison being her, but am not her. But I never got around to it because this one didn’t turn out as good as I’d hoped. Some other time, I’ll do that. Oh, and that reminds me, I need to bug my dad about the pictures from this Hallowe’en.

I wrote so much on my NNWM last night… something like 4000 words. They just wouldn’t stop coming! I just got inspiration for the scene (the meeting between Zela and Lilar the silver dragon) and wrote and wrote and wrote. Of course, then I slept in until 11:00 this morning and missed my chance of going to study Mendelssohn. But I will still practice piano! After I write just a little more… I’m actually ahead! And I’ll be more ahead this evening! I’ve decided I’m going to try and catch up to XiaoCaity from the True Magic forum. She’s at 25,000 words right now, and I’m at 17,000. The candy thing (little reward after every 200, or 500 words) is actually kind of redundant. But it’s nice to have candy. Mmmm……

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé

Well, this is the beginning of an exciting new endeavour! I’m going to try my hand at a weekly webcomic. The script is done, and I have a buffer of six weeks. This comic is only 36 pages long, counting the cover, but that’s most of a year so I think I’m good for now. And I can always think of new adventures later. There’s at least one more episode in concept form, with a bunch of new characters. But that’s waaaaaaaay in the future. Right now, enjoy! First page will be up next week. Huzzah!

For those of you who are new: Welcome! This is the first page of a webcomic that will be updating on Sundays (hopefully at 12:00 noon Pacific time), starring my original character Flairé in his original homeland the Adhemlenei, and my best friend Leslie. And some other completely insane nutcase who by all rights shouldn’t even be allowed to exist there. ; ) And yes, the adventures are non-canon so they have no real bearing on the story that should be written about Flairé, his mother, and the darkening world around them… written sometime in the next decade or three. Yep. Again, welcome, and good luck!

Yesterday there was lots of D&D-ing. It was great fun, although Illinia didn’t talk much, as usual. She needs to talk more. I think the setting is confusing her. Her player coloured the above picture and drew a hot picture of Torrigan (the Paladin of Pelor in our party) on her script. But it was tons of fun. And then we all went for dinner at Shabu Shabu at about 8:00 and got completely stuffed. Yum.

Next time I will totally play Flairé. : D

Next year’s poster

WHAT YOU DOIN' WITH A BLACK AND WHITE POSTER IT'S S'PPOSED TO BE GREEN

WHAT YOU DOIN’ WITH A BLACK AND WHITE POSTER IT’S S’PPOSED TO BE GREEN

Actually, that would be this year’s recital poster. …If I ever get around to taking it. See, it needs to be in a pine forest near sunset. Which means fall because spring never gets around to that sort of atmosphere by the time that recitals and juries are on.

My recital poster for last year was okay. It was a little last-minute, which is all my fault. But I had this specific image in mind. So I will do it this year. Continue reading →

The Matrix Triumvirate

Somebody's got shiny hair.

Somebody’s got shiny hair.

I watched The Matrix for the first time just before this picture with my friend lx, and he said to me in the middle of it: “I like Neo’s coat. Get me Neo’s coat, Jen.”

So I did. Except it was in a picture. And chibified. Eee, chibified lx is cute. Also included are N as Morpheus, since he’s ‘older’ than us, and I’m Trin because I’m a girl. Also I like her shiny shiny leather vinyl spandex? clothing stuff. The Triumvirate part comes from an idea of lx’s, that we three should be a composing triumvirate, especially after the part where Christopher said he prays nightly that we should become composers.

I might yet become a composer. Just not full time, and not at UVic. So that dream should not be wholly abandoned. : P

That’s a rifle I’m holding demurely behind my back.

"Haaaaalp! I'm getting eaten by this cloak!"

“Haaaaalp! I’m getting eaten by this cloak!”

Wow, I attempted perspective!

This is a picture of Flairé, my guardian and guide, walking with me through the dirty, grungy, dark-shadowed city full of unsavoury types that is the path of life. He and I didn’t come out too badly, and neither did the background… now I just have to finish the random unsavoury NPCs that are just standing around, brawling or whatever. And put a zillion times more detail on everything. And find that tilt for Flairé’s head, and then COLOUR the blamey thing. Hey, I used a ruler. That’s part of my success. : D

Thirdly, I stayed up way too late again and finished Chapter 3 of The Tactician and the Jewel. Now I have to figure out just how one of the good guys caves so quickly in just one chapter, how the boss reveals so much about his boss, what the king thinks about all of this, what point Ocery has in intimidating someone who is trying to hang out of the story, and how to give Andy and Frank a nice big minor part.

"Don't worry, Illinia! We're here to save you from the evil blue bug aliens!" "Uhhhh, thanks!"

“Don’t worry, Lashyoillinia! We’re here to save you from the evil blue bug aliens!” “Uhhhh, thanks!”

Soooo…. this one needs a whack of explanation. Actually it doesn’t, never mind. I had a weird dream, a weird weird dream, and the end of it was mixed up Independence Day and Star Fox for GC. I was running around an increasingly ruined city full of skyscrapers and green hills, trying to dodge blue diamond insectoid aliens shooting at me. With what, I forget, which I regret because it was kind of cool. I also regret that I can’t remember if I was shooting back or not.

Anyway, when I was getting kind of outnumbered, Flairé and Flaria showed up and pulled me under cover, and then we sat just about like this for a few seconds. It was nice. I forgot my glasses again. But Flaria was wearing a tunic, not her usual gown. I’m still not happy with this picture. Flairé’s upper half is okay, and bits of us other two, but on the whole it’s not right anatomically and it doesn’t look like us. How dissatisfying.

Lisztomania

Whoohoo. I'm thrilled. -_-7

I have to say… sweatdrop. Y’know, that anime convention that an embarrassed or exasperated character has a large rain-drop shape on the back/side of their head.

This picture is a long-running joke at school… One of my friends just loves the movie “Lisztomania”. Which begins straight away with something I don’t want to see. Apparently a metronome is involved, and then I stopped listening to the preview discussion. So, this friend holds a party once a year where everyone (everyone interested) all goes to watch it. lx-sama once asked if I was going, and I replied “I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty screwdriver first”. That inspired him to a fit of that deep chuckling giggling that sets everyone in the area either giggling too or backing away slowly. It’s a little sinister. Very gratifying, personally. A different time, I told him I would come if my head was swathed in so much duct tape I could hear nothing and see nothing. I think. Correct me if I’m wrong, guys? Anyway, there was some talk of duct tape and eyeballs, but I don’t really remember what happened. All I really remember is this picture, in which Flairé kindly did swath my head in duct tape and let lx-sama drag me off hyperly. Hooray for excited chibis. You can see I misspelled Liszt the first time. Pickles. This picture did amuse lx-sama greatly, so that objective was accomplished.

Sort of mixed media; Flairé is in pencil because he’s the most realistic. I love Flairé. He takes such good care of me.

lx has shiny hair.

Ooh, sweet! A haircut and contacts AND wings!

Ooh, sweet! A haircut and contacts AND wings!

This is a picture I drew soon after getting a haircut and a long time after this picture, which has shorter hair and wings. After drawing the big figure, I realized that I had glasses, so I drew the top head to clarify for my satisfaction what I looked like, sort of kind of. I suspect a great deal of the whole picture is stylized. Nice wings. I wish I did have those.
