Did a portrait sketch of the friend who Vatea/Lucy Michaels is based upon to get a better feel for her facial structure.

Just realized that I never posted the full version of this.  Did it during my Photoshop trial as a means of testing various effects.  The idea for the initial sketch was that Rhonwen got a pair of cool shades to hide her eyes.  Happiness.

Like the last sketch, done while traveling and thus not up to my preferred standards, but I've been promising Maggie for a while to post the back-logged sketches.

This was sketched on an airplane (note the loose pencil work encouraged by both turbulence and the small child seated next to me).

This is the first 2-page spread for Maggie's comic. It's rough and incomplete--sketched quickly on scrap paper during lunch about a year ago.  I haven't had time to get back to it, but I'm re-posting it now for inspiration since I now have a computer that will handle my tablet.

  [Re-Post] Version 2 of The Abbess. I've added a scarf, gloved the left hand, left the extended right hand bare to illustrate it wrinkled and crone-like, and also played around with her clothing more in this one, experimenting with a trendier style that simultaneously hinted at religious uniform (primarily the undershirt resembling the collar on a nun's habit).

[Re-Post] This is the first, quick-and-dirty sketch version of Maggie's comic hero, The Abbess. Her power is healing, enhanced by relics embedded in her gnarled hands.

[Re-Post] This 10-minute sketch is far better than the earlier one. I think I must have been trying too hard before or something. He's still not quite right as an imitation of the person Terrence is based upon, but it works and it maketh me happy.This is Terrence Michaels (codename"Ferrus"), a member of the same group of heroes as The Abbess and married to the group's clairvoyant member.

Rhonwen "Wyn" Lyall, alias "Snow," again. This one was done after I received some authorial description.

"Rowan Glenys," alias "Spark." A first stab at her as well. Definitely need to give her more thought. I'm not really sure what points I want to use as visual distinctives for this character. Anyway, she's the partner in crime for the "Snow" character.

Gabriel "Gabe" Christobal, alias "Ladron." Not happy with this one, but it was a 10-minute start and I couldn't find the volume-one sourcebook to read Maggie's description before I started. I of course found it immediately after I finished and read that he's supposed to have cropped hair and tatoos. Ah well, another day.

[Re-Post] Meh. So this is a first run at another character from Maggie's comic. He needs some serious work. I mean, it's OK, but didn't come out as I intended it. For one thing, at the time I didn't really have a good head shot of the guy he's based on. I do now, and I'm going to do a second pass sometime in the post-Thesis future.

This is a sketch I did in crayon a while ago, when I was trying to explain an idea I had involving paper garden lanterns and reception decor. The thing I like most, though, is the floral centerpiece in the square glass vase. I wish I could afford some spreading stems like that for table centerpieces.

Joel was in town for Christmas and the night (Dec. 30) before his departure a few of us met at Greg & Kailoni's for some Joel's Choice gaming fun. As the night wore into morning my attention waned and half-awake sketching occurred.Disclaimer: the above characters look nothing like their respective players.

Ack: I've once again misplaced my cleaned-up copy of this sketch. Ah well. This is another character from Maggie's comic. I've nicknamed her "Snow" (she's not as far along in Maggieverse development as The Abbess). The basic idea was inspired by our Dark Forest/Lyonesse days. In other words, Snow is a mildly anti-social, blunt werewolf who kicks about with her red-haired fellow wolf, "Spark:" a

In the last couple of months I've begun posting some of my sketches online, thanks in part to the project I've begun with Maggie and a need for long-distance collaboration. Initially I posted on a little-used secondary xanga site, but I'm beginning to reach its limits. Admirable though it may be for recording my verbal rants, xanga is clunky when it comes to visual arts. Therefore, I am now

This quiz has fairly limited results, but it's amusing. It doesn't have a good representation of human cultures, only offering Rohan and Numenor (which should refer either to the Numenor of old or to the Rangers of the North) while ignoring the culture of Gondor under the stewards, which is quite different, or that of men in the north (Laketown, Bree, etc). Elves are also given only one group (

First time I took the quiz I got "Lowlife." I went back and changed a few answers that could have gone either way and look what I end up with.*shakes head*

"Your distinct personality, The Dreamer-Minstrel might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You can always see the "Silver Lining" to every dark and dreary cloud. Look at the bright side is your motto and understanding why everything happens for the best is your goal. You are the positive optimist of the world who provides the hope for all humankind.

I am definitely not responsible for finding this test-- that was Emilly Beth's doing. (she, by the way, is "Creatively Evil." I'd be careful if I were you) http://www.spacefem.com/evil/

It continues to get more odd. When do people have the time to find these things- or put them together, for that matter? Thanks to Josh Garboczi, I now know: What color I am http://www.colorwize.com/CareerTestFirst.htm (blue- Greg, you'll be happy to note that orange was pretty high up) What dog I am http://quiz.ivillage.com/pets/tests/dogs.htm (sorry, Lucky, it claims I'm a German Shepard)

It seems quite a few people have been taking this coffee quiz. We must be drawing near to paper time. Any slight excuse to put off typing a draft is usually quite welcome. Either that, or everyone's just gone nuts- which would mean it's midterms.I've been told that I am:"sophistication personified. Complexity and balance are the hallmarks of your flavor preferences. You would enjoy our lush

The waves crash in The tide rolls out It's an angry sea But there is no doubt That the lighthouse will keep shining out To warn a lonely sailor And the lightening strikes And the wind cuts cold Through the sailor's bones Through the sailor's soul 'Til there's nothing left that he can hold Except a rolling ocean Oh I am ready for the storm Yes, Sir, ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for

(Watson to Holmes, over the newspaper) "Those are all the notices which appeared before the disappearance of the bride." "Before the what?" asked Holmes, with a start. "The vanishing of the lady." "When did she vanish, then?" "At the wedding breakfast." "Indeed. This is more interesting than it promised to be; quite dramatic, in fact." "Yes, it struck me as being a little out of the common." "

Boreas Today was a windswept day, the first real blustery day approaching fall. When I walked to and from classes, my hair was snatched away and tangled back round about me. Tonight as I walked back from dinner, I looked out over the grassy, rippled land, saw the grey clouds swirled overhead, and felt the breeze tug at me. I thought: I wish I had my horse. I was greatly tempted to run on my

Giving two exams (not quizzes) on Latin within the first two weeks of the semester is criminal. Not that there's much I can do about it, Latin is Dr. Noe's Domain and there he reigns supreme. God is faithful. I am continually amazed at the was he nudges chance aside to shelter me with his hand. Poor Gabrielle's car is in pieces, but I am whole. The sprains are healing, the bruises fade, and soon

Ah, what a lovely night. Sometimes joy fills the heart to overflowing, even when you are standing in a river of sadness. You cannot help but be filled to overflowing. It pours out of you in golden rivulets with the warm green light of spring, it shines as it slips sparkling into the stream, and the stars scintillate in the dark heavens above. All you can do is stand there in the stream, arms

Night is a time for reflection, for remembrance, and for inspiration: Night Falls Softly Drink in the purple of the night Soft warm breezes blowing 'round Deep blue darkness settles down And I drift along in the moonlight Like the little dancing green leaves That tip the dark branches of the trees The night is falling Falling softly Little silver specks peer From the warm blackness on high

In the midst of life we sometimes find ourselves standing silently, alone, as the river of humanity rushes by on all sides- experiencing a moment of profound stillness. In that brief piece of quiet thoughts are clear, sharp, and well articulated. Facts are cold, plain, and un-muddled by the daily stream of life. We sit on the rock of stillness, wet and dripping, and watch the river rush past, and
