The Abandoned Rune

Bardic Voices (Book 1: The Lark and the Wren) by Mercedes Lackey

I previously introduced Bardic Voices in my FS blog and said that I'll work on a Rune character impression sketch. And I did.
But since I had to return the book to the owner because they had fire (and she's not sure if she could get back to work where my mom does) , I wasn't able to finish it. :( I'm quite sad... My first impression on the book is that it's full of adventures and fiddle playing...

Anyways, I used the book's front cover as a basis for Rune. She looked kinda old there, despite being only 16 years old. She was described in the book as "tall, thin,..." and I friggin' forgot, but they're trying to give her the impression that she's not too attractive... That's not how my mind visualized her, seeing that she's the MAIN CHARACTER, and she FIDDLES, and those things kinda make me think that she's gotta be good-looking somehow. My sketch ended up like this:
This is the raw, uncleaned/untouched-by-photoshop version, which explains why it's got stains and it's messy. I can't give more details on the fiddle because I don't have a good reference for it, aside from the book cover, which happens to be small and a bit dark... I wanted to put more details on her clothes too...

I changed Rune's clothes too because...err, she's 16, wth...
I also made a Rune expressions sheet.
It's not complete, though, considering that I don't want to guess her complete personality. These are horrible, but nonetheless, who cares, right? It's not like it'd get published outside blogspot anyway... Oh yeah, and the back image was the Promervaile Shaia portrait... It's so dark that it got scanned along ^^'

I was going to make one for Rune's mother too, who was described in the book as "pretty, doll-faced Stara" but I forgot how I visualized her. :( That's all.

Collab Manga Project: Nursery!

I contacted Trance-san about an idea of turning the Clan Exodus and Genesis into children one day. We went into sharing of ideas, then finally we had a rough draft of the story.

With the exception of Xene (because according to Trance, he can't draw small children with bewbs XDDD), the twin clan Exodus and Genesis' members have been turned into children after Xene played with Raei's potions. She didn't know that those weren't really supposed to be potions, but juices for their afternoon siesta, and this results to the members being shrinked into the size of children. (They act very childish along with that.) Since Xene went out after being scolded by Raei, she didn't get to drink the juice/potion.

Meanwhile, Frhaine was performing a Dream Summoner spell as a part of her practice. She accidentally causes a time loop, sending the Hermetics children into their time. She was obliged to take care of them. Rienzan was against the idea of having to babysit them since he wasn't really involved, but being a pedo (oops), he eventually gets convinced.

The result becomes a (soon-to-be) bunch of yonkoma pages and some normal manga pages.
It will be a webcomic. But I have no idea where to post the pages yet. Anyway, I'll get around to do them since it won't be too long before I stop being busy with failing stupid school.


I've finished the front cover!


Frhaine: Why am I the MAID~ *T_T*
Rienzan: *looks far with perverted look* Me likes this job
Shaia: *holding a cuuuuuuute bunneh* Cuuute♥
Blaire: Tehehe
Risan: SHOCK~ *Expired Bentou?!*
Raei and Sonarra are sleeping.

It will be called Nursery! (With the exclamation point) The Chronicles of the Hermetics Children

I CAN'T draw children because I dunno how children's CLOTHES should be. Hence, the sucky clothing. Wtf, I dun think children would wear those.
But hey, at least Frhaine's wearing maid (moe) clothes. Rienzan looks too short in tharr. >.> The paper is stupidly small...or maybe I just drew them too big. O_O;


The story was written by me and Trance, and the illustrations will be a divided work for us too. Our styles are similar so it's not a problem. :D
(I do hope he could find time to help though...^^;)


Updates to follow. Stay tuned! ^_~

Perhaps I could just...

Die.

Last Monday, I had a dream. I died, then I heaved up a breath and came back to life and I'm on the other side of the bed. During my death, I was somewhere in heaven and I think I talked to God or something. But anyway, I came back to life. And then I awoke.

Today, I wish I could do that. I wish I could just die for a moment then come back to life again.

I fear that I'll fail Calculus again, despite already mastering the formulas. I'm blaming Ronald for this. And I blame myself for listening. :|

I just wanna die soon...
