Do you see Tealin draw? Drawing young rebels late at night...

[tealin]

Last night I felt like I could have stayed up all night sketching, but alas, it was a work night...



This is how I had meant to draw Enjolras, that first time, before all that Kane McCain business and Makani chin study. The pose, I mean. And the scene. I couldn't have drawn him without the chin study.

Poor rash Enjolras... no one's going to come join his little revolution.
Enjolras: "Oh crap."


And for Gabby and other kindred spirits ... an un-manly man. The Combeferre in the cast I saw became the inspiration of my design for the character who became Rufus Scrimgeour, so now I'm trying to remember what he originally looked like. This one... meh. But I liked the drawing.

Whoa, seriously!? And to think this entire time I had assumed (assumpt!? haha) it was 'teal-in'. I mean, it looking like that and being spelled like that and all.*

. . . yes, probably. It's all gone to my head. :(



* DARN YOU, ENGLISH LANGUAGE! DARN YOU TO CANADA! **

** I'm going to die for that, aren't I.

No, you're not going to die. (Well, I mean, besides the inevitable eventuality, of course...) It's just an idiosyncrasy of pronunciation.

(Death: I GET EVERYWHERE.)

Pah, pronunciation. I've never held any truck with it. (Or is that 'for it'? Sheesh, you'd think I'd be better at English, having lived in a predominantly English-speaking country only my whole life.) It makes me angry because I can never seem to grasp it. *tear*

(On the ** I was referring to the Canada bit, but if you didn't see it that way that's okay! :D Death is not imminent so I'm not complaining about anything.)

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I know what it was in reference to, but Canadian pronunciation is just as arbitrary as it is in the rest of the English-speaking world.

And that's the thing about death ... you never know...

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

Oh. 'Kay! Er.

I'm just going to leave it at English can be really dumb. :*[ (<- I made a tear!)

That's very true. At any moment in time the whole of Yellowstone National Park could suddenly explode, effectively wiping out the States and wreaking havoc with the rest of the world in general. (Hooray for books that describe in explicit detail how crazy the planet Earth really is, also how close to death we all are at any given moment!)

I think I've read it...

A Short History of Nearly Everything? (Bill Bryson)

It was kind of scary the way he just kept saying what could potentially destroy humanity, and how it happens every so many years, and how we're overdue for it to happen again...

Re: I think I've read it...

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

:D Hey, why yes indeed!

I'm loving it so far, but the OMINOUS PORTENTS OF DOOOOOOOM can be a bit upsetting.

Re: I think I've read it...

[abibliophobe.livejournal.com]

I really liked it. There was one of those little yellow squares that's all sticky along one side stuck in the one I borrowed from the library, pointing out that Bill had made a mistake somewhere (indirectly said something was faster than light I think). So that was amusing.

xDD Serious!? That's awesome; I love it when people have their own commentary.

That poor coney

I'd have thought it would have broken it two by now.

WHAT?!

[modestlyhott.livejournal.com]

Whoa! I ALWAYS thought it was TEA-lin, too. That's weird.

Re: WHAT?!

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

I hate being disillusioned. :(
