<-- Last Legolas Next Legolas -->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. Before, it would only scan if the screen-saver hadn't been on yet, and now it won't print either. Still, I think I have more than enough pictures to keep going for a couple of months, at least. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll take digital pictures of them like the whiteboard portrait. Why, oh why does technology have to fail me when I'm doing something cool?
Anyhow, I'm off topic. The topic is... profiling! 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.
Last night I had a concert, at which I played my sonata much too fast, but I'm looking forward to the next one - I will be more relaxed and in control, and able to make music instead of panic. I also got to talk to the girl who accompanied me for my violin exam, and she's so nice, I just babbled about any old thing. I think, being the kind of person I am, I conduct too many self-analyses, which means I can talk about myself a lot... but that's rude.
Flairé: Isn't this part of a self-analysis?
Uh... yeah.
Second page of Chibiness has been started! So far, I've only drawn frame one, which is... me. But, I have the first gag planned out, which should take the rest of the page or something. I think I should script it first, though... it always goes better for some reason.
I need to make more rice krispies squares.
Oh, yes, and I was going to make a Sophia-from-Last-Exile plushie, but I thought that might be too hard to start with, so I decided to make a doll costume instead, and I have a red-headed Barbie, so I got her out for the first time in about six years, and discovered that her hair is way too long, she has too much of it, and some of it has a perm from being in a braid. Dad says make a Sculpey clay statue. Good idea.
