Sad Lina...

[secondlina]

It's weird...Lina is a very happy character, and yet I always seem to draw her in these very sad poses...
God. I. Want. Her. HAIR! >_>
I,m currently working on two things: the slayers booklet and my living room. My living room is being completly revamped, and so far, my dad and I do most of the work (nevermind the fact that I have two strong brothers!)
The whole living room/dining room just got finished being re-painted white. The smell is strong. Most likely because my hair is covered in it.

The slayers booklet is being finished (although not that fast right now. Priority on the house for we are in need of a place to sit and eat) and I still need an idea for a cover page. I'm also calling out to the slayers fans who read here: do you guys want to suggest me a short (8 to 10 comic page aka maybe 500 to 800 words) story to add in? I'm thinking because most of the material is of utter siliness, a good dramatic story would be a nice touch...
Then maybe i'll also make a short art gallery in it too...

*stares at plotbunny* Go away. *bats at plotbunny* I said go away! *kicks plotbunny several feet. Plotbunny comes bouncing back* No, no, I said go...aw, shucks. Plotbunnies are like cats. They keep coming back to you.

The way my plotbunny sees it, that's an infection linked to Lina's magic. A side effect of utilizing a power that humans aren't meant to have. Airlord's power probably because it eats away at humans if they overuse it and Lina has the tendency to overuse her magic. Or, it could also be linked to the Chaos Magic she uses - Ragna Blade for example. And this infection not only scares her half to death, but it terrifies Gourry as well.

Funny that you see that sort of infection in this drawing because one of my personal stories has a character that is litteraly being devored by a dark spell and has an arm that is infected almost completly. The arm is demonic and can do a lot of cool things but is irritable to things like water. It makes the character suffer a lot.

Though, it's kinda the classic scenario for this kind of picture. I need to find a few old pictures I had done for the "Goodbye Gourry" series. It was a series of drawings illustrating a story where Lina turns into a darklord and gets stabbed by the sword of light and then she is back to normal but gourry is gone. So Lina travels with the sword of light to find Gourry's shattered soul.
That story was never really written down.

I've got a plotbunny that's a little similar to that. After the events of NEXT, Lina and Gourry are returned, but they are on opposite sides of the continent. Lina winds up with her family in Zefielia and Gourry is with the others in Sairaag. They have to find each other again, not knowing if the other is even still alive.

That story sounds angsty and awesome of yours.
