Waaaah... too many people! Elves from all over! ...and me.

Waaaah… too many people! Elves from all over! …and me.

One… last attempt to do Esgalwen, and it failed worse than ever. Then I drew the figures on the left, inspired by the song the lady sings in the bar on Outo World in Tsubasa… I still can’t remember her name anymore. Anyway, the bit where she stops and the girls’ choir starts is the bit that inspired me to imagine Flairé swinging me around in the air. Except I forgot my glasses again and he’s about a foot too tall. Then… I think I drew the one of Flairé with a little rock whizzing past his face (thrown by me ^_^7) and his shirt says “I LIKE PICKLES”. Squee! I think I drew Link next, and then Rana, and she turned out better than he did, and then I finished off with Legolas, who didn’t turn out too well, and Zela, looking especially grumpy.

Mirkwood Families

Hano! Let's go! We'll see the girls later.

Whoohoo! A picture of Middle Earth! Well, of people in Middle Earth. Right-y, in the back, we have King Thranduil of the Mirkwood Elves, and his un-named wife (see closeup here). At least I can’t remember her name and I’m really too exhausted to look it up right now. The next couple, further to the right, are Esgalwen’s parents… can’t remember if I gave them names, either, and I probably didn’t write them down. Probably I didn’t give them names, as she would call them father and mother. Right in front of them are the three sisters, with the youngest on the left, with a mischievous look on her cute face, and then the gentle eldest, and then Esgalwen the shy middle on the right. She hasn’t gotten her necklace yet, either. The eldest’s head is too big. Esgalwen actually looks pretty good in this picture.

mirkfamdetailIn front are Legolas and Hano. Hano is the elder brother of the girls, and an archer under Legolas, who is an archery captain. Doesn’t that make sense? Various details are off, like ears on everyone, Legolas’ right arm, etc. Still, I mostly like this picture.

Father?

This picture is my best so far. As in, up until Dec 23 ’05. It’s even shaded, so it looks a little 3D! This day, according to my sketchbook, was the day on which we did a Lord of the Rings marathon. We watched 5 discs.

I still didn’t have the hang of shading faces yet, and I still don’t know how to do clothes. I like the cloak very much, though! But the hands need to be bigger. At least they look like hands!

Heroes All (almost) II

Another version of Heroes All! With Lyn, too, because she’s so cool. The strange people here are (L-R) Mengil, who was an evil Warhammer Dark Elf who was rather handsome in the White Dwarf article about him. So now he’s a good guy because I say so. Then there’s Legolas, then Kusko, the skinny dude, and Kurama sitting on the ground, explaining botany to Jim from Treasure Planet and his rocket-powered skateboard, and then Sain is sitting on a stump, chatting with the two Hylians: Raven and Link III, and Sain’s taken off his hip-plates. And Lyn is posing because she’s good with a sword.

Link and Legolas

One quick picture today. Link and Legolas, because I still think they’re very similar. Legolas came out badly so I didn’t finish him. I also rather like their expressions. Kind of challenging, really… or maybe just blank. Yeah. I like Link’s face in this one a lot.

Hmm. This picture is based on a picture I’d done the day before of Link, which I didn’t put up here because my scanner/printer decided to die a more violent death than usual and now won’t even print things. The picture I did of Link was a profile with his hat off and I experimented with face shading. It didn’t turn out, and the top of his head was flat, just like Legolas here, so maybe it’s a good thing that I couldn’t put it up. Anyhow, this picture is not too bad, except I only figured out how to draw the insides of ears a few months ago so his ear is still a blank hole. I noticed that Orlando Bloom has dark eyebrows, which means Legolas-in-the-movie has dark eyebrows, which is actually kinda cool. Not bad for a scribble.

These people are cool. Or something...

These people are cool. Or something…

Here are all my heroes (people whom I admired) for 2003. They are-! Legolas, Link, Trent, Wedge, Flairé, and Sain. They are sitting on my couch in my living room, with personable equipment. Legolas and Link are, obviously, looking at the Master Sword. Trent is sitting quietly with his violin. I think he came out quite well. I’m not good at drawing ‘real people’. He’s very good as both a violinist and a fiddler, and when I hear him play in one style, I feel like he should focus on that style… until I hear him play in the other style. He played this beautiful Dvorak piece at the local music Festival once, and I just loved it. Wedge is reading one of my X-Wing series books, and he didn’t come out so well. Sain is posing, because he’s a goofball. Actually, he looks sort of like Oswin here.

Flairé is playing a (stringless) harp, and now he’s officially introduced, I suppose.
Flairé: Hi. Good to meet you people.
I’ll add a biography page sometime very soon, I think.
Flairé: That’s a good idea. No one knows me yet, and I’m your best friend!
Eheheh. Go away.
Flairé: Righto. … Why am I so short in that picture?
Shoo!
Flairé: I’m going! Bye!

He talks too much, but he’s nice. I use him in all my (adapted rules) Dungeons and Dragons games.

These people were drawn over a period of time. Legolas was drawn first, in November, and Link took from November to December. The others are labelled, so Sain was drawn on the 13th of December, Trent on the 16th and 17th, and Wedge and Flairé on the 17th.

Edit: The kalma above in the picture could actually be Flair.

 

Yesterday I went to the local Games Workshop and built a pile of elven rocks with a waterfall on it. Nifty, but I’ll make the next one on my own when I don’t have time constraints. It’ll turn out even better!

Calacirca and a bowman…

Last picture for Middle Earth for a while! First picture of the new year! Huzzah!

Huzzah has a lot of meanings for me, but more on that later.

This picture is of Legolas, stepping out onto the bank of Anduin to shoot the mysterious and sinister black shape in the air. The Big Dipper, or Calacirca, is over his head. Frodo sees “the dark head of the elf crowned with stars”… It was so beautiful I tried to do a picture of it, and it worked pretty well, but I never finished it. I may do a CG Photoshop version sometime. That would look really nice. Or maybe I’ll use my new markers!

How to crash an elf party: a tutorial by Thorin Oakenshield

How to crash an elf party: a tutorial by Thorin Oakenshield

This is a picture of more of those Mirkwoodian elves, the tree elves, I suppose. I had trouble drawing in scale, so that’s why the ones in the back are bigger than the ones in front. At least the ones who are biggest are the most important.

Thranduil, King of Mirkwood, is the big guy on the left, and Legolas his son is on the right of him. There are random people all over, including a harpist, and a dark-haired, dark-eyed cutie hiding smiling behind a tree over on the far left. Esgalwen is the girl with dark shiny hair leaning against the log in front, chatting with someone… her sister? Oh, and that’s Thorin, hiding in plain view, so this is from The Hobbit. Who guessed before I said?

I shaded this one, because I figured it would be too hard to show that it was night time by the light of a ‘bonfire’ if it wasn’t. I shaded it, I remember, at all the parts of a Campbell River Friends of Music concert, I think it was, that it wasn’t impolite: before, intermission, and after. I was just finishing up, and that’s why I think I took it with me. I’m pleased with how it came out, although, even though I got Dad to spray it with protective stuff so it wouldn’t smudge, it still smudged. It’s smudged even worse now than this scan, since I did the scan at least two years ago. Blah. I can tell because you can’t see the harpist’s strings on the original, now, and there’s a lot of graphite on the back of the previous page, which is the beginning of a new sketchbook.
