Arrogant, condescending, rude. To say that Adrik is not a great person to be around would be an understatement. Instead of fully internalizing his feelings, Adrik tends to lash out at others because he has yet to realize the extent of which other’s emotions affect his emotional state. He has yet to find the off switch to his empathic and telepathic abilities and as a result is constantly assaulted by the thoughts and feelings of others. As there is rarely any room in his head for his own thoughts, he tends to operate on his base instincts more than is healthy. Many of his problems are due to his relatively young age but are magnified by the fact that he chooses to spend most of his time around those he can’t “hear” anything from, such as Enya, as it gives him a chance to be alone in his head as opposed to learning how to cope with his own abilities.
If Adrik were able to look past his own pride and admit to himself and others that he needs help, he might just be surprised by how much easier that would make things. However, he has not quite reached that point, yet.
Nearly the shortest snowball fight ever.
Tune in next update to find out what Fae sees and for the last page in the chapter.
It took a while to decide on what hair color Enya would have if she were limited to a more natural set of hair color restrictions.
I’m not very good at perspective; I even fail at making a good grid. I lost count of the number of attempts I made at drawing the hallway but I hope this page still looks somewhat decent in spite of some of the wonky-ness.
Dwarves! A long time ago I was talking with a friend about dwarves and The Hobbit (I think it was The Hobbit anyway). We ended up talking about how rare female dwarves are and how there’s even a section of The Hobbit where the characters acknowledged the rarity of female dwarves. Somehow we started talking… Continue reading 03
Non-dwarves kind of, really stick out in a crowd.
As much as Astor loves to play with people, he can and will hold a grudge until he has the chance to get even. My new apartment is a sea of boxes. This upcoming week is my last week of classes and the week after that is finals. My apartment may be a sea of… Continue reading 10
Astor’s making a list of those who have offended him. The new character’s name is Bjorn. His name was never really intended to be a surprise or anything but I just realized that his name doesn’t come up in conversation for about another 10 pages.
Dwarven hair styles are not about fashion so much as conveying to other’s who you are and the degree of formality of a given situation. Bjorn is at his most formal. Enya also gets to show off her new hair and eye color now that she doesn’t have to hide her lack of facial hair… Continue reading 21
