My Sketches

So these are some of my most recent sketches, a whole page of Aurora Darkfire, older sister to Diabolical Mentally Challenged, Morally Challenged Warlock Zehrara Darkfire. (I'm hoping that it will show up, right now I just see black where the picture should be . I'm new to this, is that supposed to happen?) Anyway, she's a character in Following Zehrara. (I don't know what I was on when I wrote that story, sixth/fifth grade? But the plot has it's marets) I've written some of it more recently. Now let's look at the symbology.

But maybe to do that I have to actually see the picture? Oh here, I brought it up in paint so from your left to your right it goes Miserable, Happy, Worried and Pissed (xcuse my language?).

Now first of all look at her feet. In Happy and Pissed she has full shoes on. In worried it's sandals and Miserable bare feet. I didn't realize this until after I drew it but that's symbolic. Aurora is most secure obviously when she's happy and pissed. Pissed with dagger out in definitely the comfortable norm for her. Worried, is sandals, she's not worried about too many foes, her sister, and Methusalah. Worried for her sister or that her sister is going to attack her you? may ask. Either one.

Then there's Miserable. Insecurity is pouring out of this one. First look at the feet, Dirty, standing on dirt, and then grinding he necklace you see her wearing in the happy one beneath her foot. You can make out a little "R" hanging off it. Standing for Rathan. They obviously have feelings (awwww) for one another, then there's the person sacrifice she is forced to make for her sister, tearing it off her neck and grinding it into the dirt. Ouch. Then look further up to her trusty curved dagger strapped too her leg. Even when she doesn't have a belt, duty positively clings to her. Then her simple tunic and her head. She's actually covering her face. Probably in a mix of confusion anger and greif. Like a said, this is a really touchy-feely picture. -_- Anger at her sister, who she's too afraid of to attack, which is a change because most of her problems can be solved by slitting somebody's throat. Then greif, she doesn't want anybody to see her cry and confusion, because remember, she's used to lunging to her dagger when she's pissed, but here that doesn't seem to work. Who would she kill, Rathan? No chance.

Moving on to Happy. Just look at her wide bambee eyes, doesn't that just radiate innoccents? Yeah until you see her ear peirced. I just put that there as a reminder that she's a freaking blademaster. And her trusty curved dagger in her cloth belt. I was quite proud of that effect. Now look, she's wearing cloth, and a robe. Not being expected to get attacked at that moment. She's also happiest when she's wearing the Rathan necklace. How sweet. (this was before she hd to take it off).

Then Worried. Not much to say about this. She looks the oldest here and her hands are straying compusively to her Trusty Curved Dagger. That's the only way she knows to deal with things.

And now Pissed. Look at her dark, angry eyes high boots, curled fist, dagger removed from belt, High boots, black tanktop and make the evaluation for your self, lazy. I'm not doing all of your work.

The end. I just love talking about my own art. I didn't mean to do like a spec of that symbolizm.
