Story-making

Take my hand and we’ll go on an adventure.

Time to travel to a brand new dimension.

Pirates and cowboys and robots, oh my!

Hide in the shadows and play I spy.

Over the rainbow and under a troll bridge,

The portal to Narnia’s hidden in my fridge.

Let’s fight monsters and save the princess,

Like superheroes answering calls of distress.

Are you ready to go on an epic quest

To find a gold-filled treasure chest?

Dance at the Witches’ All Hallows Eve ball

And cast magic spells meant to enthrall.

We’ll battle dragons to prove our might,

Then explore the wonders of the night.

Discover a fairy world within every tree

And mermaid utopias underneath the sea.

That’s how it goes in storybooks,

Where nothing is quite what it looks.

The beautiful may be wicked hearted

But true lovers can never be parted.

Together we can be our own fairytale

Because if we believe, we will never fail.

You and I are the next legend

Our myth will be told until The End.

So, come with me and let’s go explore

this magic world, and be together evermore.

I've been working on this for three days :3 Hope you like it, I'm pretty happy with it. For once. xD

Random Writing That I Felt Like Doing

I'm home after my first semester of college and I have nothing to do. Thought I'd be productive and write some. This is just a free write. I have no idea where it's going to go. No editing. No anything. Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You shouldn't play with fire."
I looked up from my box of matches to find Gerard looming over me.
"You shouldn't play with fire," he repeated.

"I heard you the first time," I snapped, got up from my seat at my cluttered desk, and placed the matches in my robe pocket. I sauntered to a pile of books and scrolls in the far corner of dimly lit my room. From the bottom of the pile I pulled out a large worn out book. I glanced at the title, Of Dragons and Dames, and caressed the cover lovingly. "I believe you're here for this?"

Gerard shifted from his spot over my desk to face me and nodded with a fiendish grin. I tossed the heavy book to him and then sat back down at my desk. I grabbed the box of matches from my pocket and began to play with it again, waiting for him to leave. Ten minutes in dead silence passed and still he loomed over me.

"What. Do. You. Want?" I murmured venomously.

"I'm waiting for you to stop playing with those matches, Fira." he retorted and leaned against a shelf. I stared at him for a moment. His eyes were as golden as the flames I would be able to create if I unleashed my desire on the matches. That only tempted me more. I returned my attention back to the box and opened it.

Gerard's hand moved to mine and held it firmly.

"Fira. I said no," he huffed. I wrestled my hand away from him and squirmed up on top of my desk. I stood up triumphantly, keeping away from his grasp.

"You" I grinned and brought a match to my lips. "are not my boss." I blew a single flame on to the match igniting it brilliantly. I waved the flame in front of Gerard's face, his eyes darted from side to side watching it. "It matches your eyes Ger." I laughed and flicked the match at him. Gerard caught the burning match without flinching.

"This isn't funny," Gerard growled. I snickered and leaped from my desk on to a tall stack of boxes. Gerard glared at me, and I teasingly blew a flickering stream of scarlet flames in his direction.

"You ruin all my fun, Ger!" I sighed and jumped from the boxes into low pile of scrolls and empty parchments. I lay down in the pile and huffed a puff of smoke that floated into the darkness. I gestured with my finger for Gerard to approach me. I examined him as he came towards me. He was a lanky boy, with messy ginger hair, pale skin, a crooked smile and golden eyes. I laughed at how he carried himself with confidence now, when only a few months ago he had been nothing but a shy little bookworm I found hiding behind my books.

Gerard crouched down and looked me in the eye.

"I can't have you disobeying your own rules Fira," he pouted. I put my arms around him and drew him closer.

"A little fire never hurt anyone," I whispered and grinned widely, showing off my sharp teeth. Gerard ran his hand through my dark amethyst hair.

"Tell that to the book you accidentally burned last week," Gerard snickered and then smacked me over the head with a nearby novel. I let go of him and he jumped up. I pretended to rub my head in the spot he hit me.

"Aiiee, you're lucky us drakonei are resilient, or else that would have stung!" I hissed and faked a swipe at him.

"Stop complaining. We have work to do," Gerard scoffed and threw the novel at me. "And no more flames."

I grumbled and refused to budge. Gerard held out his hand for me to take. I ignored him and picked up a book. I really did prefer the time when he would have cowered at my hiss and flinched at my claws.

"Come on, you fanged, red eyed, lilac scaled dragon woman," Gerard grabbed my arm and pulled me up. "We still have so much more to discover. So many more secrets to find. Books to read. Things to learn."

Gerard patted me on the head, grabbed Of Dragons and Dames and walked away. I spat out a last spark of fire and returned to work. I vowed to make sure not to teach my next assistant how to stand up for himself. Self-confident humans would one day be the death of me.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Well... that turned out interestingly. I now have two new random characters to work with and a possible story. I think I will do more with these two sometime soon, I rather like them. I also really want to draw them. :D YAY RANDOM FREE WRITES~!!!

Also... not sure what drakonei are yet but in my mind they are humanoid dragon creatures. More humanoid than dragon though.

When Sea Becomes Sky

Based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid

"She cast one more lingering, half-fainting glance at the prince, and then threw herself from the ship into the sea, and thought her body was dissolving into foam. The sun rose above the waves, and his warm rays fell on the cold foam of the little mermaid, who did not feel as if she were dying. She saw the bright sun, and all around her floated hundreds of transparent beautiful beings; she could see through them the white sails of the ship, and the red clouds in the sky; their speech was melodious, but too ethereal to be heard by mortal ears, as they were also unseen by mortal eyes. The little mermaid perceived that she had a body like theirs, and that she continued to rise higher and higher out of the foam. 'Where am I?' asked she, and her voice sounded ethereal, as the voice of those who were with her; no earthly music could imitate it.

'Among the daughters of the air,' answered one of them. ...The little mermaid lifted her glorified eyes towards the sun, and felt them, for the first time, filling with tears"  Hans Christian Andersen

I made this for a contest on DeviantArt

To get the full effect of this piece I suggest reading the original tale :3
And to all of you that are to lazy to do so let me explain what's going on:

In the original story, the little mermaid falls in love with a prince, saves him from drowning, gets a sea witch to give her legs in exchange for her voice and then goes of to try and make him fall in love with her.
However~!
It causes great pain for the little mermaid to walk, and dance, etc. but because the prince loves to see her dance, she dances for him every night.
Unfortunately, besides her best efforts, the Prince ends up falling in love with another girl, who he believes saved him from drowning. He marries her, and the mermaid's heart is broken and she is doomed to turn into sea foam.The mermaid's' sisters find her and give her a dagger they got from the sea witch in exchange for their long hair. If the mermaid kills the Prince and his bride she will be able to return to be a mermaid.

But the mermaid loves the prince too much and is too pure of heart. She throws the dagger into the sea and jumps in the ocean to die and become sea foam.She is however saved by the Daughters of the Air and is allowed to become one of them, and after 300 years as one she will gain an immortal soul and go to heaven.


I think original version of this story, not the sugarcoated disney version, is beautiful heartbreaking tale.
 I LOVE IT :3

And, as you can see I chose illustrate the scene in which the mermaid is turning into sea foam but is saved by the air spirits.

I highly recommend that everyone read the original story.
You won't regret it.

Also, if interested, you can purchase a print of this through DeviantArt :3

Rise of the Phoenix

My first attempt at using watercolors ^^
I came up with a random lil background story xD

She's an angel that fell from heaven and turned to ash. But her stubborn and determined spirit lead her to be reborn as a creature of fire. She rose from her ashes and became a phoenix.

Why live in Reality, when Fantasy is so much better?

Tribute to the Greek Gods

ATHENA VS POSEIDON

 If someone asked me to pick a set of Gods or a God that I wish were absolutely and undisputably real, I would pick the Greek Gods. Now, these guys knew how to have a fun time! I have always had a fascination towards Greek Mythology. I don't really know why, but I love the Greek Gods and Goddesses, they're just so FUN! They're crazy! They're wild! They're definetly far from perfect! I just think having these guys around would make the world very exciting to say the least.

'Kay, so the drawing above was colored on photoshop. I think it came out ok, I need to start fooling around more on photoshop. There are some really cool effects and stuff I just need to practice using them.

Tomorrow, I'm going to color in the drawing of this in my notebook with pencils and I'll post it here to see which came out better.

Below is the inked version, not colored.

The drawing is of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Justice, standing off against Poseidon, the great big God of the Sea! Athena and Poseidon are big rivals, always arguing and trying to out do each other. One of their famous "battles" was their contest to see which God would get the city Athens named after them. (Obviously Athena won) Each of them was to present a gift to the people of Athens and the people would name their city after the God with the best gift. Poseidon gave them a spring of seawater, and Athena gave them an olive tree. The people decided the olive tree was more useful and a better gift so the Athena became their patron Goddess (of awesomness ;) ). 

The much long awaited SUPER MEGA POST woohoo!

Here they are! All the drawings I did this summer, but not counting the work I did in the art class in Porto I'll put up tht stuff later. :) Hope you like them!

CoRaLiNe

Last weekend I went to the movies with my dad and sister. We went to see Coraline, which is based on the book Coraline, by my favourite author Neil Gaiman. Today I drew my version of Coraline. When my sister, Maya, saw it she said: "She looks like me!!" Which is funny because after the movie my dad and I kept saying she looked like Coraline to bug her. ^-^


This is Coraline going into the other world, I made her world dull colors to create a contrast between the two worlds, also Coraline is bright and colorful too, she is more like the other world than her own world.

~You have to read the book or see the movie to understand the picture. ~ ^-^

The Zombie State

The last week or so, I have been sick with a flu like thingy... not really sure what it was (is, since I'm still sick). But my being sick brought about, what I call, my "zombie state".

My zombie state is when I, well feel like a zombie really. I don't feel like doing anything, and just go about the day not really thinking about what exactly I'm doing, I'm just doing it. It comes up when I wake up in the morning, then it can last as short from 10 mins to maybe 30 mins, a whole hour if I'm really tired, and also when I'm very sick.

Also... for some reason... when I'm in my zombie state I can't think of anything, creatively wise, other than zombies.

This is the product of one morning that I was really tired:




I was at school, before class started, and I was sitting down and felt like drawing anything.
So I started drawing, and this is what came out, me being chased by a zombie in a comfy large sweater (which I was wearing that day) ^-^

This next one, I've been wanting to draw this whole week, today I finally did:



Well, that's all... I suggest someone get out a shovel before zombies start coming out of your computer screen. ^-^

G-ps-

A little gipsy/gypsi/gypsy. Which way is right? I'm not sure.
But anyways she's one of them. :)
No long post because I have to sleep lol. (I've been saying that a lot)

A Day of Snow

Tina Kitten woke early one morning, looked outside her window and gasped. What did see that caused her to gasp so early in the morning? Outside her window she saw white, white snow.
It was spread like a large blanket, suffocating anything it could get it's hands on.The evergreen trees were white, the grass was white, the roads were white... Everything was white as, well, white as snow of course! Tina's little heart leaped in excitement, she had seen snow only once in her short life so far.She remembered well what snow brought with it besides the splendid beauty she saw outside.

Snow brought a day of fun, a day of adventures, a day unlike any other.

Tina jumped out of her bed and ran through her house shouting:
"It snowed! It snowed!"
Her many sisters and many brothers woke up with the exciting news.
Hyped on adrenaline, they rushed through the wholesome breakfast Mama Cat had made them.
Quickly they put on their snow gear, mittens, caps, gloves, scarves, boots and all.

They jumped into a big pile of snow, piling on top of each other, Tina was on top of them all since she was the smallest. Then they built snow forts and had a grand snowball fight, girls versus boys.
Afterwards, exhausted from their Snow War, they fell back on the snowy ground and made snow angels. They went inside to get some nice warm mugs of hot chocolate, but left very shortly after.
They then got busy building a big snow cat.

Much too soon, the kittens heard their mother calling once again.
"Come in little ones! Come in!" she called after them.
Reluctantly they came in, with sad long faces, and drooping whiskers. But their sorrow did not last for long for as soon as they got in the house Mama Cat announced to them that they were going to the Big Hill to ski and sled! The kittens expressions changed in a flash from sad to ecstatic!

The Big Hill was the merriest of places. Hundreds of animals came there for snow filled fun; there were cats and dogs, bunnies and monkeys, and many many more. There at the Big Hill the kittens had the most fun! They skied and giggled as they passed others who fell, but they always stopped to help after of course,they were well raised kittens. Then they went sledding, going faster and faster down the hill, swerving to avoid trees. Finally after they had all had as much fun as possible, they gathered to listen to the carolers who were by the big Christmas tree, and they all joyfully sang along.

On the ride back home the kittens started a chant, what the chant was you will never guess.
It was a chant for ice cream!
"Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream!" the little kittens chanted.
You might think this odd, ice cream on such a cold day??
But the cold was precisely why they wanted ice cream, for in the cold the ice cream wouldn't melt!

After the ice cream, they all went home. The tired kittens slowly got ready for bed, their energy all spent. Tina lay in bed with a big smile on her face. Once again the snow had not failed her. It had brought her a great wonderful day, just like it had done before and would always do in the future.

Merry Holidays Everyone! ;D!

Voldemort gets scolded

This is a drawing I did during French class. We had to do 2 signs that we would put on our bedroom door forbidding people to do something. Like "It is forbidden to enter" or something like that. This was one of my signs.
On the top it says " Please do not steal my things and my life."
Voldemort is saying " Mais, je veux ta vie": "But I want your life."
I am yelling at him for stealing my stuff and wanting to steal my life. "NO! NO IS NO!"
:)

I plan to make a better version of it later to put on my door. ;)

nights creatures

Night's Creatures

by FE, nov. 22-25 2008

Darkness penetrates the sky.
Turning day into night,
right before your eyes.

Night's creatures
come out to play,
their deadly game
of predator and prey.

The howl of the wolves,
a cricket's low chirp,
the nightingale's enchanting song.
Are the only things that dare break the silence.

Precious

Precious
by FE, Nov. 22 2008

Wilting roses by the window,
their fragrance still permeates the room.

A low glowing fire
dances and sings in a mysterious way.

Outside there is snow,
white, cold, unwelcoming,

A girl is sleeping on her couch,
She dreams of how her life could be be.

A purring kitten stretches,
then lays itself on the rug before the fire.

A precious moment,
in a precious life.

My first WEBcomic
