The life and times of the Secondlina Lj...

[secondlina]

I kinda like this habit I took up during the summer. After a while, I got sick of never updating this journal. So I decided to stop inking most of the sketches I post here, since inking was time-consuming and I hated it. So I sacrificed quality for frequency, and started doing more posts and felt a lot less frustrated. I also avoided postponing the posting of drawings until they were inked and therefore posting notes "late" (meaning that to me, they did not have the same diary value as the time the sketch was done).

Despite my workload, I want to keep on updating this journal a few times a week. I think the whole ditching the inking part really helped to the expension of my comic diaries. I,m quite proud of the work I did here and I am determined to keep on posting. A lot.

Of course, i'm not THAT creative, and sometimes no comics will be posted. Only drawings. XD Mwahaha.

I really like this sketch I did after I finished the dramatic slayers short story.



It's me as Lina, earthstar_chan as Sylphiel, ichiban_victory as Amelia, savvyliterate as Filia and yukiomoni as L-sama. The sketch is not good enough to make a nice drawing, but it provides a nice idea for one! ^^

I also drew this...My D&D character, Melisande. She is a half-elf paladin (Yeah, I know ichiban. I wanted dwarf but apparently draft paladins can't be, so I picked half-elf. *laughs*) She works for the temple of the goddess of the wind Ayla and is searching for her father, paladin for the god fire, that disapeared with the temple a while back. She hides her ears under her hair because half-elves aren't very loved. ^^ I like the design a lot.



I also re-designed the cover for the re-print of the Doujin "home"...here is the sketch:



ichiban_victory I expect you to tell me if you think it fits XD

Well, i'm off to eat supper (FISH!!!!!) and to watch the last harry potter ^^

Oi vey. It makes me think I hate when teachers give us assigments on the puter. So evil...

I wanted to do a character with elaborate hair for once (since usually I like my heroes to have loose hair) and I figured she could use a hat to cover her ears, but hats aren't combat friendly and having a hat all the time seems suspicious. So it was the perfect excuse to design that ^^

Melisande is somewhat of a grouch. She'd probably react to it saying things like "Why don't YOU go embrace your heritage and come back to tell me if they still want me dead."

I get the wall thing...yesssss. Bad. Must change things to sketch! Thanks for the input!

Underworld? ya don't say!

p.s. I like the untied hair too ^^

Note: it's not that a dwarf Paladin is impossible, it's a problem with an inexperience DM (that's still willing to create her own world based on the player's character background... what am I getting myself into?)

It's never bad to have character restrictions. In the campaign world I'm in dwarves were all but killed off, so they're not common. (We've had exactly one dwarf in the party, and he died...) It can make things more interesting.

I sense a paladin duel in the future... ^_- (And if you think playing a half-elf is bad, try a half-elf werewolf! My bard has major issues even being around other people since she has the submissive doggy behavior going on. Man, I miss gaming!)

You asked for my input, so I gave it. Better to fix the sketch than a finished project. (Done it before when sewing. I hate it!) It's kind of cool being asked for my input though...

And yes, Relina has a rather...interesting past. I really need to write it out, it's that strange.
