Bees! This is "Busy Bee", weilding a hammer, and "Bee-autiful", with a flower. D'aww. I'm working on "Bee-have" (police bee? haha) and "Bee mine" at the moment, but I've run out of bee-based puns, now.
They're sort of a "cute"-reworking of my Danata, just for the sake of being cute. ^^


This of course is Mirii, albeit with four arms and a scary tribal Mayan-esque look. The papyrus in the background is real, with real stitching; it originally was a sort of "lotus" design but I note it looks more like wings, right now. The image is marker and inks, digitally cut out and "pasted on". I'm probably going to re-draw the character, but keep the papyrus, as I'm not 100% satisfied with the picture - the clothing in particular, not so much the anatomy of the character.

This is technically another of my book cover attempts, hence the big title. (You'd think finishing editing the thing would be a better idea, right?) I need to strip the thing down to its bones and rebuild it, essentially. Mirii's story was mostly fluff - weird for weird's sake, I suppose? - with a lot of parts that didn't really seem to add anything to the story. I need to give Sunstone a more consistent personality, too. I might use the "record cards" type technique to edit it, it might be easier to visualise where I'm taking it.

Papercutting! XD

...yes I am working a little bit on "Thunder Daughter" again. ¬_¬ I WILL FINISH IT DAMMIT

And Lim has become Suni again. I just... can't see it as a "Lim", the name Lim reminds me of something snooty and not-fluffy like Suni. I mean, Suni and Sei aren't exactly similar, and I don't have to use the shorthand "Siinu", I can use "pen" for Mirii and "umasiinu" or "companion" or "animal" or "fuzzy thing" for Suni. ^_^

YAY.

OK I GO DO MORE ART AND WRITING AND STUFF NOW

( ''Thunder Daughter'' Cover ideas. Kinda... more brainfarty than actual arts. (Art under cut) )

And now, to bed. *zzz*

Peevish Oops. I wonder what Bor said to him? There'll be a better scan for later, but eh, this is good enough for now. :) Disclaimer: No, I didn't write the quote. It's actually something Siddhartha Buddha said - although I originally thought it was Gandhi, until I re-looked it up. Still. Both appropriate theologians for little Sei, no?

Sei's Pinboard It started out as his place to put blueprints, partly so they were all in one place and partly so his friends/employers/whoever could peruse them, but I think he got a little sidetracked. The curly squiggles are Kiravai handwriting, and down the very lefthand side under the stick-Mirii going "hurrah!" with a conical flask is Sei going REALLY sidetracked and writing poetry. (Well, trying to. I'm debating ACTUALLY trying to write it as a bit of poetry from him.)

And this is Tsu and her pet. Tsu is one of the "People of the Gleaming Lily" (read: NOT one of the "People of the Stone Mountain", aka the "Aztecs"), and is Mirii's friend, after realising the tall female is lost and needs help. The thing hasn't got a name yet, it's just big and lumpy. LUMPY. (Edit: Oops, messed up my hutmuls)
