Gimli was drawn on the same page as Boromir,
but there's a lot of space between them for even more people
I never got around to doing.I think this Gimli looks terrific. I'm very pleased with him. I based him on a very, very clear picture I have of him singing the wonderful song in Moria. Odd. The axe looks the same...
My brother is painting furiously, trying to get some Warhammer Bretonnian Men-at-Arms painted in time for a Sunday battle at Games Workshop. He's having a lot of trouble because he can do the decals, but he doesn't understand them and gets frustrated when they become wrinkly. We all think he's crazy, wanting to go downtown on Sunday when it's going to be a madhouse with nutty last-minute shoppers, and also we're going twice already - once for fourth Sunday of Advent Mass, and once for Christmas Eve Mass, a.k.a. Midnight Mass. I might bring my elves too, and maybe even Tuor... or maybe he'll be a big surprise when he's truly done. After one sound defeat in Skirmish, I had Tuor 'training' - I know that dice have a perfectly even probability, and so 'training' doesn't work, but he seemed to roll better dice fighting model trees than he did model soldiers. Maybe it's because I gave him lowly Spearman stats - he's much more powerful than that! It was kind of funny:
Tuor attacks tree
Misses
Attacks
Tree is Stunned
Attacks
Misses
Tree changes to Knocked Down
Attacks
Misses
Tree gets up
Attacks
Kills tree
Repeat.
Random, uninteresting stuff:
I discovered why I can't get Wallace anymore in Fire Emblem 7: the lords have to be at a combined level of <50, which is difficult for me. Next time I'll hold Hector back. #_#7 And Wallace is so funny. Well, Ike is moving right along. I'm up to Chapter 7 in that game, now, and I just recruited Ilyana. No one is in danger of dying right now, and soon Soren will slaughter them all, all the Daein troops, and level up to a Sage! Tsubasa Chronicles was removed from YouTube due to copyright issues. Now I MUST buy the rest of the manga. And in my movie, I finally finished animating the word 'unconscious'.
I hope I have enough sanity to be a happy person Christmas Day and not hysterical or have wild mood-swings.
