Gawain Project: Brothers & Sisters, p. 148

[sigune]

Okay. This Saturday I'm going to enroll in the Illustration & Comics class of my local art academy. The idea is to become more professional and to make you something better than I am currently capable of producing. The question is, however, what this will mean for my posting schedule, since I will be having classes and/or working on projects two to three evenings per week, including Thursday.

Well, we'll see.

I'm also in need of a comics break soonish - I'm getting out of breath here - but I don't want to break off in the middle of an episode :/. I'll need to think this over.

Anyway, at the last minute: a new page.

***

Arthur and his men are in Venta, where the Sword of Kings has remained stuck in a stone for ages. And you know what? Arthur actually manages to pull it out! He then proceeds to free the Britons the Saxon patrol in Venta kept as slaves, and discovers that the man in the dungeon is the formidable Morholt.




Concrit is still and always welcome :).

*\O/* Yay to the class! If you feel the need to do it, the time is certainly right. :o)

[sigune]

Well, it's not going to get better, is it... But I still don't know how I'm going to do it. Only that it will do me good not to have to wake up at 7.30 on Saturdays anymore :P.

Argh, Alcina, I need to get in touch with you about Elrond, unless you have quite given up on that idea. I feel that if this is going to happen at all, we need to fix something soon - like, you tell me what to draw (something really definite) and I draw it, and then you tell me what is and isn't okay about it. The 'let's do some studies' thing isn't working for me; I need a definite image to chew on. Since I'm not really involved in this fandom, I have too few ideas to contribute without solid prompting, I think.

[ysilme]

I confess I didn't get the allusion with waking early on Saturday mornings, but I couldn't agree more! ;o)

About Elrond: I have not given up at all! I was just patiently waiting. I'll send you a mail with more info, ok?

She knew

[anna_mette]

Oh, the young girl wasn't just some random Briton, she knew who Morholt was, and called him 'Lord Morholt' - interesting. I wonder who she is? And she brought him his clothes... I was wondering how they would solve that problem.

I think you are a fantastic artist already, and don't get why you would need art-classes :-). But I sure understand the drive to get better. And a talent like yours are worth working with.
I don't know enough about art to fully appreciate and judge your drawings from a 'technical' view, but what really gets me is your story-telling talent. You are giving us such a fascinating tale - I can hardly wait to hear more about Morholt - his background, why he left Ireland, how he will fit in among Arthurs men, how Lucan will act etc. - and then there is Cei, - does he resent Arthur in hero-mode a little bit, or is he just worried for his brother? And young Gawain, starting to discover his talents, and Morgaine....
Your persons have such depth and you have put such work in to their background. And all this you communicate not with words (at least only a few words), but with pictures.
Sorry for the long rambling. I find it hard to express my self in English, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
Do what is right for you - we will be here when you return from your break. (But you will be missed :-))

Another mysterious character! :D

Yay for the new art classes! I quite envy you for this ;) But what about the classes you were already following? Is the course finished?

[sigune.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's the end of the school year; we were evaluated by a jury last Saturday. I haven't got any results yet, but our teacher said we would each receive individual comments. One thing she did say is that she'd rather see me take some other class than illustration :P. So I was all, WUT?!

...I'm afraid that the new mysterious character is rather a means to an end. Sorry.
