I was going to draw someone else, a new character, but it turned out looking like Menad, so I kept drawing him as Menad. Somewhat better than last time, neh? And look, I tried doing a little bit of fanciness on his shirt. I lit him from below because it looks cool. Let me remind you, he isn’t bad. Just moody and emo and somewhat mixed up.
I’m feeling lyrical, so I think I’ll update his profile.
Menad. His hair is nice and shiny, but that’s about it… his shoulders are much much too narrow. : P Or else his head is much too swelled, which is also entirely possible…
Oh well. Drew this last night when I was rather tired. Maybe I’ll try again today, because Menad is somewhat important as a character. Also he’s pretty. In fact, if you mistook him for a girl, I won’t blame you. But he will. Although he’s terribly vain. Whatever.
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
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.
Tweaks coming tomorrow. And additions.

Brightly coloured faces!
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
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?
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)
Also Mt Baker at the bottom of the page.
Btw the Olympic torch is in town and those ridiculous helicopters keep circling.

Daneel Olivaw, Theory class, Oct 5, 2008. My favourite character from The Caves of Steel and sequels, by Isaac Asimov. He’s a robot! With genuine emotions, sorta! Continue reading
Can’t… see… where I’m going….. Maybe if I sit still I’ll look wise
This is Menad, the second of Zela’s sons, as a boy, in what might be called a ‘school play’. Except they didn’t really have ‘schools’. A ‘youth play’, perhaps. He’s being the wise and sage character, The Raven. That’s why his hair is all around his head like a big poofy shiny black ball. This was inspired by a dream I had.
