Jaraden's drawings

2008-10-21 [moira hawthorne]: oooooooh awesome! love the 3rd cavalier guy.. b/c he looks like a chary of mine...

2008-10-21 [jaraden]: alright, what the heck... why can't i see it??? am i blind???

2008-10-21 [moira hawthorne]: wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa where'd they go?

2008-10-21 [jaraden]: i have no idea.. i don't know what i've done... and i wanted to submit one of them to the halloween contest too...

ARGH!!!!!!!

2008-10-21 [moira hawthorne]: do you have an edit this page button?

2008-10-21 [jaraden]: yup.. but everytime i go to edit it, the pictures AREN'T there...
i give up!!!!

2008-10-21 [moira hawthorne]: ask [Hedda] or a at guards

2008-10-21 [jaraden]: i gotta run.. i'll figure it out next time on near a computer..
for now i am seeing red death for all!!! grrrr!!!!

2008-10-21 [moira hawthorne]: *petpet* well next time you have to put your halloween one on the appropriate wiki... in stead of in the comments of the main wiki

2008-10-23 [Iske]: can't see them :(

2008-10-23 [NOOOPE]: I went back in the page versions to see them, and man, they are AWESOME! SO AWESOME! AWESOME!!!!!

And I have what might be a quick fix. Go to page version 5, 's in that page name/ exported view white top box.

All the pics are now visible, so open a word document... or anything, and copy/paste the urls of the images, then edit the page again, and plug 'em back in with <img: tag.

2008-10-24 [Iske]: in version 5 I can see them yippy

2008-10-24 [jaraden]: right, i'm gonna try that..
and as far as the halloween one.. i give up, where am i supposed to submit it to??

arrrggg..

2008-10-24 [Lothuriel]: Hope that's better. If you need more changes hon just let me know.

2008-10-24 [jaraden]: HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your a god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-24 [jaraden]: loth.. your brilliant!!!!!

yippee!!!!!!

2008-10-24 [Lothuriel]: Hehehe....it's not that hard once you get the hang of it.

2008-10-24 [jaraden]: which i obviously DONOT!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-24 [Lothuriel]: All I did was hit edit

select version no. 5

deleted the first 6 that were duplicates

Hit submit and VOILA!!

2008-10-24 [jaraden]: ahhh, see i didn't even know how to do that..
god damnit i'm a moron..

2008-10-24 [Lothuriel]: I just learned how to do it a few months ago after I messed up nonimages pretty badly,lol

2008-10-24 [Jeccabee]: dude, your drawings are so freaking awesome!

2008-10-24 [Jeccabee]: I just love the first pic with the demon thing...and the lil sprites. Too funny! ^_^

2008-10-24 [moira hawthorne]: awesome! they are back!

2008-10-24 [moira hawthorne]: they are all so cool... but I really also love the hunter dude!

2008-10-25 [jaraden]: well i can't take ANY of the credit for their return, thanks goes to Lothuriel... me i'm completely clueless!
and thanks Moira and Jeccabee for your kind comments! each drawing actually has sugnificence (spelt wrong) to both my book(s) and eventual comic but i'm rather afraid of adding anything else.. the page might disapear again!!!

2008-10-25 [jaraden]: Jaccabee; i'm glad you like the demon dude with the sprites/faries... that one took me a while because i was also thinking up a back story for it which will likely be featured in book 3 of the series.. incase you were wondering..
thanks again for checking them out!!
seb

2008-10-25 [jaraden]: and moira... which hunting dude did you like? i'm not sure, but either way, thanks for commenting babe!!! here's to the sheridonians!!!

2008-10-25 [Alexi Ice]: Well since in the wiki your character must be human then the obvious choice would be this one



Since he is the only human in the lot...

I of course am partial to the zombie dude but...whatever...^^'

2008-10-25 [jaraden]: yeah, that would have been my choice too.. just don't tell anyone.. hee hee

2008-10-25 [Alexi Ice]: KK *shifty eyes*

2008-10-25 [jaraden]: now all i gotta do is type in who or what each drawing is about.. except i'm kinda alittle nervous about editing this page, seeing as it has a tendancy of disapearing on me..
hmmm...

2008-10-25 [Alexi Ice]: You should back it up on like microsoft word or something, that is what I do.

2008-10-25 [Jitter]: Wow, thanks for inviting me :D

2008-10-25 [Daisy le Fleur]: Dammit Seb.. I hate you! Jk, love your work and your passion for it. Very very good stuff here. I can spend all night studying it.

2008-10-25 [~*Crimson Rose*~]: Seb those are awesome!!!!!

2008-10-25 [Iruvielle]: Omgsh SEB!!! These are AMAZING!!!!!

2008-10-25 [Flisky]: *jumps wiki*

Gods, I love them!

2008-10-25 [moira hawthorne]:
this guy is my fav fav... b/c he reminds me of a chary of mine... Llew... he was a highwayman/rake

but I also love this hunter dude

2008-10-26 [Iske]: mooi mooi mooi

2008-10-27 [Jeccabee]: I figured that was the hunter you were talking about. He just looks like a hunter. I love that one too.

2008-10-27 [moira hawthorne]: besides being a hunter, he looks like he has other talents... being able to bend that way and all!

2008-10-28 [Daisy le Fleur]: lol only you

2008-10-28 [Iruvielle]: AHA

2008-10-28 [moira hawthorne]: ok ill admit... im a perv... hehehehehehe

2008-10-28 [jaraden]: nothing wrong with being a perv, as so many have learned.. i am king of perv!!!
har har.
thanks for coming by ALL of you guys and thanks too for leaving such glowing comments!!!! you guys is wicked!!!!!!!

hugs and kisses for everyone, to be administered by that guy over there...

yoink!
*pinches everyone's bums!*

2008-10-28 [Iske]: well hello

2008-10-28 [jaraden]: right... moira;
the dude you like.. the one with the rapier, he's one of the characters in my book. his name is Laornar, he's the prince's cousin. taht was an earlier study i did, i have new ones of most of the characters and i plan on posting them in a seperate 'character study' wiki..
Laornar holds a special place in my heart cause he's based on someone important to me.. so i'm glad you like it moira!! means a lot to me!

2008-10-28 [jaraden]: next; the hunter dude you guys keep talking about is infact Jaraden way back in the past... there's actually a long story on why he's dressed the way he is (seeing as he's an elf)and way before he get his armour. (by the way there are two other studies of Jaraden here, plus loads of other's i haven't uploaded yet).but i love that part in his history so i just HAD to do a drawing of it!! glad you guys like it though.

2008-10-28 [Iske]: you did good dude

2008-10-28 [jaraden]: gives Iske a great big kiss hello!

2008-10-28 [moira hawthorne]: ok these must be the two others of Jaraden

2008-10-28 [moira hawthorne]: Laornar and Llew should definitely get together! LOL1 Llew is a bit of an ass! he a tat bitter... but stil a charmer and rake... and Laornar look more fun lovin.... lighthearted... both look like they are full of ego and personality!

2008-10-28 [jaraden]: Laornar definetly is, but he's the brains of the three friends, and he's more of a noble then the prince.. levelheaded, intelegent and very charming but he's lso selfconcious about his appearences..

2008-10-28 [moira hawthorne]: hehehehehe... jaraden is the prince yes?
oooh you want to see a drawin of mine of Llew?... my drawins are no where as good as yours tho

2008-10-28 [jaraden]: you'll eventually see a better study of Laornar, Eveinis and Phoenix once i scan them in and start up a character study wiki for my book

2008-10-31 [moira hawthorne]: now with descriptions1 you are learning!

2008-11-01 [jaraden]: yeah, apparently you can teach an old, lame, nutered dog new tricks..

har har..
gonna try and upload character studies for my book today.. i think..

2008-11-01 [lisie]: that bottom one all done in biro?? that's pretty freaking cool!

2008-11-01 [jaraden]: well thanks very much there lisie, it was pretty tricky to draw it all with a pen, especially cause i usually plan out my drawings first... glad you liked it, and i'm glad it turned out alright!

2008-11-01 [moira hawthorne]: I love all your art1 its all amazin! Im sure you will find a way to include all these and more!

2008-11-04 [jaraden]: thanks babe, i plan to eventually... plus i'm gonna try and upload some of my character studies today.. that way you guys can see who i'm writing about... kinda..

thanks a bunch kids..
seb

2008-11-07 [Sinchao]: Whoa! Your art is amazing! Keep up the good work! ^^

2008-11-10 [jaraden]: thanks very much Sinchao!

2008-11-11 [tigerwitch]: in the demon drawing:

is the error the fact that he has two right arms? The one in the back is pictured as though it was a right arm, thumb should be going up not down?

2008-11-12 [Jeccabee]: which demon picture are you speaking of? They all look fine to me. 

2008-11-12 [moira hawthorne]: thats what im wonderin aswell.... i couldnt find any backwards hands... ((tho i have done that myself tho with feet..lol))

2008-11-12 [Jeccabee]: LOL me too!

2008-11-12 [moira hawthorne]: Ive done it with hands when usin my own for reference ...damn mirrors!

2008-11-12 [Jeccabee]: I've only used my left hand as reference...mainly cause there were no mirrors around...but it does get confusing if I'm trying to draw a left hand (since it's backwards on the page....does that make sence?) yeah.... >_>

2008-11-14 [jaraden]: YOU are absolutly correct tigerwitch.. in that drawing (and i must say it is an old one) i was having tons o ftrouble with said hand, in the end i sourced it off a friend, only after i had finished it did i realise i had drawn two right hands... DOH!!!

slaps forehead!

good eye though!!!

2008-11-14 [jaraden]: you wouldn't imagine how often i force someone nearby to pose or offer up body parts so i can draw something specific, haven't needed to lately, but it is quite amusing...

still drawing from life is so much help!

2008-11-14 [jaraden]: *Claps hands and jumps up and down like a school girl*

i just discovered the laptop i'm using has Photoshop....

eeeeekkk!

so look forward to some of these drawing ACTUALLY getting coloured!!!

*is excited!*

2008-11-14 [moira hawthorne]: still dont see which demon has a backwards hand

ooooh this one...???

yeah, i designed another demon way back in the day. but can you see the glaring error i made??? if you can then you'll win a prize!!! har har

I assumed the back arm was mold/warp/constructed into the weaon he is waving back and over his head and the arm was foreshorten to the point we dont see it...

that seems to be the 'logical' place for his arm with that pose... and I 'saw' the thing at his back as being enviroment... (never paid it much attention)

now that i look at it again it looks like he has three arms... damn demons not conforming to 'normality'!!! lol

2008-11-14 [jaraden]: sixth from the top babe...

2008-11-14 [Jeccabee]: ooooh I see it know. Yeah I would have never realized that back hand was the wrong way. :P 

2008-11-15 [jaraden]: thanks moira... always could count on your keen eyes and observations.. love the critique though! i had actually filed this drawing away along with some of the other more ancient of drawings, but i got it out JUST cause i made such a glaring error.. kinda poking fun at myself..

poke poke

2008-11-15 [moira hawthorne]: yesyes makin fun of myself is a olf habit of mine aswell... and well you could easily correct it.... change the incorrect arm growing out of his back into the eniviroment... and make his arm the one holding the huge blade back over his head

2008-11-18 [jaraden]: could do that, but to be honest, i rather like leaving it as is, reminds me i ain't even close to perfect.. as long as i know i can make a huge mistake like that it makes me more vigilant when it comes to drawing other things... haven't made that mistake since...

har har
but thanks kid!

2008-11-18 [moira hawthorne]: ooooooh ok... whatever works for you than =D

2008-11-18 [jaraden]: har har... now don't get snippy or it'll be the back of my hand for you woman!!!

har har

just kidding!

2008-11-18 [moira hawthorne]: *whimper* wasnt... whatever is use in the correct context there!

2008-11-18 [Jeccabee]: I hate that word...snippy!  My co-worker/superviser says I get snippy. I say something with a little attitude or try to defend myself and she says I'm getting snippy. She says something with attitude and she's being assertive! It's annoying! I'm not trying to be snippy and I dont think I am...I'm just either defending something I did or maybe just random complaining...which EVERYBODY does.

sorry for my rant...

2008-11-18 [moira hawthorne]: boss dogs are allowed to growl (in their mind) everyone else is suppose to whimper and roll over ... LOL... thats why I like/prefer to consider myself a cat!

2008-11-18 [Jeccabee]: yes but she expects me to be assertive too...so when I am I'm called snippy. I dont know...I guess I'm just tired of hearing the word.

2008-11-21 [jaraden]: wow, who would have known one little word would spawn such a strong responce... yikes..

i DID mean it as a joke, but i certainly didn't intend it to irk anyone that's for sure!

but i am an alpha male, so everyone should roll over for me!!!

MWAH hAHAHAHAAH!
and moira, the same is true in the feline world, the alpha male is dominent while his subordinants are forced to wallow at his feet..
as it should be!

har har

2008-11-21 [Jeccabee]: I know...I'm sorry. I know it was a joke...and it wasnt even addressed to me. It's just something that's been boiling up in me for the past few months.

2008-11-21 [moira hawthorne]: no it isnt! the females are dominant in the cat world! a stud knows better than cross a queen... she will rip his eyes out... males only boss other males around... but cats dont normally live together in the wild... only lions... and than its all related females with the biggest boytoy they can attract to their pride

2008-11-24 [Lothuriel]: Fighting for dominance is rare. Cats are more likely to fight to defend their territory. Cats generally do not like confrontation. They go to extremes to avoid one another in order to avoid possible confrontation. Free ranging cats frequently have overlapping territories with a network of shared pathways. If one cat sees another cat on the path, he will wait until that cat is gone before going any further himself. If the two cats see each other at the same time, either they will both try to out-wait the other, or one or both will turn around and return the way they came. They will go through this ritual of avoidance even if one cat has already established itself as dominant over the other.

Cats do not use their dominant or subordinate rank to control each other. A dominant cat will allow a subordinate cat to pass first on the pathway. A dominant cat will not take food away from a subordinate cat. Cats seem to prefer non-confrontation. If a confrontation does occur, it is usually a noisy ritual of aggressive displays, rather than actual tooth and nail combat.

Taken from several studies on the behaviors of domesticated and frugal felines. 

2008-11-24 [moira hawthorne]: I watched that show... cats
Ive actual had approximately 100 cats in my life... living together up to 15... so Ive watched cats interact all my life

2008-11-25 [jaraden]: good giddy aunt.. i had no idea yet again something small i said would spark such an overwhelming responce...

well hats off to you ladies..

shows haw little i know about cats i suppose..

laughs heartilly.. i suppose that's why i always considered myself more of a goat-person or hedgehog type of guy.. cats are WAY too complicated..

sighs

2008-11-25 [moira hawthorne]: YAH well I suppose goats and hedgehogs both have their only complex ways and means of interacting within their species... just for the life of me I hadnt a clue... I know a tad about goats and less about hedgehogs

and jaraden you always seem to spark something off... but its always good and everybody loves you so heads up to you boy!

2008-11-25 [jaraden]: awww thanks kid!!!
and i don't mind sparking off a good old fashion debate, there ain't nowt wrong with that.. just keep it clean girls.. i don't want to be cleaning up a goowy mess in my page... i hates cleaning!!

har har

i would give you guys more food for thought, but my brain is in a muddle today and i ain't feeling very clever today..

doh!

2008-11-25 [moira hawthorne]: I think Loth and I were on the same track...

so you DONT want this BIG bowl of jello and custard balanced precariously on this tower of swaying trash and flotsam while herds of pygmy hedgehog have interspecies romps with goats?!?!?!

2008-11-25 [Jeccabee]: I'm more of a dog person...1 cause I'm allergic to cats, and 2 cause dogs (in my experience) are more friendly. I'm not saying all cats are "snobish" just that they can fend for themselves more than a dog...so dogs pay more attention to their humans.

2008-11-25 [moira hawthorne]:

2008-11-25 [Yuriona]: Dogs are way too much work in my opinion and though I generally don't like dogs, there are a few dogs I like: my brother's basset hound for instance and a friend's boxer are two dogs I don't mind. Of course, they're not my dogs which might have something to do with it. x) I like my cat. He's a bit stand-offish but he kills mice, moles, chipmunks, ground squirrels, rats, small rabbits and some birds so he's earned his keep and then some. ;)

2008-11-28 [jaraden]: ahh so your cat is a hunter-gatherer.. that's very comendable.. i'm not a pet person, though i think if i had a choice of pet i think i would honestly go for a goat.. keeps the grass short and butts the crap outta any tresspassers..

ahh yess, a huge killer goat.. sweet!

and you know something strange moira, they don't have 'jello' over here, custard they have, but no jello.. idiots...

i miss jello, and kool-aid too!!!!!!!!!!

2008-11-28 [jaraden]: OHHH AND KRAFT DINNERS too.... god i love those!!!!!!


drulllllllllssssss

2008-11-28 [Yuriona]: Not even flavoured gelatin? O_o You should give us an address so we can send you a CARE package of jello, kool-aid and kraft dinner. And maybe a can of Tim's coffee too. ;) LOL!

2008-11-28 [moira hawthorne]: I could live there quite happily! as I hate all the crap!

2008-11-28 [jaraden]: ohh good lord.. tim horton's coffee......

ohh now i'm beig tortoured.. i LOVE timmy's coffee!!

double double for me anyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm getting my parents to send me some KRAFT DINNER for christmas.. i covet that food more then sex at the moment!!!! as far as jello, they have jelly, a poor substitute.. and that's not jam (as we sometimes call it) it's liek jello, but crap!
and i've looke dfor kool-aid to give my kids a treat, and i can't find it anywhere.. though to be fair, i haven't looked THAT hard at the moment..

is very lazy and now dreaming of a cup of timmy's coffee and a steamig bowl of KD!!!!!!!!!

sweet!

2008-11-28 [Yuriona]: Aw man! That is torture! >< You definitely need a Canadian CARE package from home! :)

2008-11-29 [jaraden]: yeah, i know.. just twiddling my thumbs waiting for the one my parents'll send.. KD...
until then i'll jsut have to make due, with the britsh crappy canned macaroni and cheese.. sick!

but still, their coffee is good enough, no coffee shops though, plus i loved the baggles they used to make at timmys...

sighs..

2008-11-29 [moira hawthorne]: I loved the fish in Scotland1 Day dreams of scampys1 oh I loved them! fresh from the sea hours before they were on your plate! yummmmmy!

2008-11-29 [Yuriona]: I was spoiled growing up so close to Lake Huron and having neighbours who were fishermen. We used to get fresh lake trout, yellow perch and whitefish all the time! And we used to go smelt fishing in the spring though there aren't nearly the smelts now as there used to be. No shell fish though in the great lakes except clams. *sighs*

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: not a huge fishy fan. I like crab though. LOVE crab legs! mmmmm
I miss Kool-aid too...not that I cant just got to the store and buy it...I'm just trying to stay away from sugary drinks. I could just not put sugar in it...but then it's just nasty. *sigh* 

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: alaskian king crab legs! yummmy! but they are so expensive! I love them more than lobster.. and shimp is the cheep version... frozen shrimp is just yucky... blah... have to have that red tomatoe suace b/c they are tasteless without it

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: My brother actually did some giant tiger shrimp on the bar-be-que this weekend. OMG! They were soooo good! XD Crab legs are yummy too but they're so hard to open. Gah...

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: I've never actually had the large crab legs...just the little ones as an appitizer...ate them all up! mmm
I'm not a huge shirmp fan either..unless it's in something like pasta. And I dont like labster either. I wish I did cause it's so pretty, but I just dont have the taste for it. :(
OOOH but I do love calimari! mmmmmmm

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: oooooh yes!calimari! love them dry fried or in pasta... 

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: hmm never had it in pasta...but sounds good! Course I have had it when it was over cooked...NOT GOOD! too chewy.

mmm now I want some pasta with shrimp. Only an hour till lunch!

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: Mmmm... calimari is definitely delicious! I've always wondered what octopus tastes like but I've never seen it here other than uncooked and I don't know how to prepare it.

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: I wish I did. I'd love to make up some nice calimari!

I've also tried es cargo (sp?) by accident. I though I was ordering calimari (got the names mixed up). When I got the dish I was like...this isnt es cargo (still thinkin calimari in my head). Then my dad figured it out and told me what it was. I tried it since I had it there...and it wasnt bad! It was German style (out of the shell) and on crackers.

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: over cookin is no good... rubbery... or if it was frozen before cookin it can be rubbery... blah... poorly cooked food is never fun! food is a necessity... but it is also one of the great pleasures in life... right up there with sex and avoiding taxes!

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: Escargot - its french for 'snails'. ^_^ I love them in lots of garlic butter and still in the shell. You get a little fork to pry them out with! My sister once said they're like 'fishy bubblegum'! LOL!

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: Ah yeah...that's how it's spelled! Yeah I figured it out after a while that it was snails and not squid. But it came in this plate with lil bowls in it with each unshelled snail in some sort of sauce. And you put it on a cracker. It was at a German restaurant, so I figured it was how they fixed it. But it said Escargot on the menu.

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: Its a certain type of snail I think which is why that word is used. I could be wrong about that though. I sure as heck wouldn't try cooking North American snails. ><

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: Escargot are yummy too... and oysters! fresh... just slice open the shell and slide them down or baked with garlic and butter and stuff... even clams are good that way

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: I like smoked oysters and mussels myself. I've never been brave enough for raw oysters. I've tried fresh water clams and crayfish before and they're not bad but you have to really rinse them to get all the sand out of them. O_o

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: my brogher-in-law loves smoked oysters. It's on his Christmas list! LOL

I've never tired them myself, but I think I'd be brave enough to try a cooked one. I dont think I could stand a raw one. My dad LOVES raw oysters. It grosses my mom and me out to watch him eat them. LOL

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: They're very yummy! XD

I want to try them some day. *nods* They're reputed to be an aphrodisiac! ;) Hee hee hee...

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: *giggles*

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: cant say/prove they are an aphrodisiac... no one had sex at the party and we all ate a ton of them.. to the point we were stuffed... but sure did have alot of fun... singing and stuff... most the people at this party were musicians and/or choir singers... it was an awesome cheerful party!

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: LOL! Well, unlike viagra I don't think the raw oyster's potency has been scientifically proven. ;)

2008-12-01 [Flisky]: Methinks I walked into the wrong part of this conversation. :)

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: I think its all in your head.... if you like watchin people slurp away at mucousey slippery slimey foldey stuff... and you are in an intimate mood... you likely start thinkin of other things they could be slurping at....

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: I think the myth has something more to do with the oyster's high nutrient level increasing fertility or something like that though I could see how that sort of imagery would be suggestive. =3

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: that's kinda gross...but I can see how that could work. 
But I have to agree with Yuri...I think it's a chemical thing...maybe along with a mental thing.

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: the 'chemical' or 'nutrient' or any physical component has never been proven to be an aphrodisiac tho... just like in so many of the so called aphrodisiac

the fact that it is believed to be an aphrodisiac seem to hold firmer sway!

2008-12-01 [Yuriona]: That is how it usually works with most legends and myths. The more it is believed in, the more people believe it if that makes any sense. :)

2008-12-01 [Jeccabee]: I've noticed that trend too.

if it makes any sence at all then more and more people will believe in it. And the more people believe in it, the more "real" it becomes. Whether it's fact or not becomes irrelavent. Kinda like religion. And not that's not a segway into a religious conversation.

2008-12-01 [moira hawthorne]: The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.

2008-12-02 [jaraden]: holy crap, i go away for a couple of days and this page has turned into a cookery class.. not that i'm complaining, i'm a crap cook, give me KD anyday, but that don't mean i don't need to learn!
har har

2008-12-02 [jaraden]: i've heard all the stories about oisters, and i've always wanted to try them simply out of suriousity.
i've tried pretty much everything odd and exotic, so oisters are right up there in my book on the things that i want to try..

and not for those reasons either moira..

har har

2008-12-02 [moira hawthorne]: Ive eaten a shit load of exotic foods... Id rather have the best food of some other culture .... even if I have no idea what it is... than the worst of north american cuisine anydays

2008-12-03 [Jeccabee]: have you ever had the spiders on a stick? mmm tastey! jk...though it would be interesting to try!

2008-12-03 [moira hawthorne]: nope never eaten spiders... or most bugs.... well other than when you are a kid and stuff just ended up in your mouth or say when biking... than ive eaten quite a few bugs... even i think a bee once...

2008-12-03 [moira hawthorne]: Ive always wanted to eat them tho... even if its abit creep crawly weird

2008-12-03 [Yuriona]: My uncle makes chocolate covered ants. They're not bad at all. ^__^

2008-12-03 [Jeccabee]: I've heard they're not all that bad...the chocolate covered ants.
I used to have a fly in a sucker. It was more for the novelty of it. I never ate it. LOL

And I had a bee fly into my eye once. I was on a swing and the bee flew right at me. I freaked out and couldnt see for an hour!

2008-12-03 [moira hawthorne]: MAN THAT MUST HAVE HURT...

2008-12-03 [Jeccabee]: oh yeah. I dont remember it too much...just the experience. I was pretty young.

2008-12-05 [jaraden]: i've had chocolate covered ants before, they were pretty good, and i've eaten locust before too.. but that's it as far as my bug experiences go. heck i wouldn't mind scarfing down a huge spider too, dead ofcourse, i wouldn't want it squirming around in my gob...

but there you have it..

2008-12-05 [moira hawthorne]: in asian there a market for alot of bugs... from silk worms to cockroaches... and in africa meal worms are a staple... like a protien bread meal... I want to try some of the food I saw on a health food network show... like scorpion pizza... or breaded deepfryed scorpion served on a stick!

2008-12-16 [Iske]: quote from Jaraden : ""i is an idoit after all..."" We all are love We all are ...

2008-12-19 [jaraden]: thanks little one!

you gotta keep me grounded, and that's why i is adorin you kid!

2009-05-06 [Easterling]: You're really good at drawing monsters. :D The "pen anyone?"-thing is really scary!

2009-05-07 [Iske]: He is good in drawing monsters , that's why I don't understand why he does not wanne draw me.... snef snef

2009-05-07 [Easterling]: Are you a monster?

2009-05-07 [Iske]: Ow yes , I'm the cuttest monster ever lol

2009-05-07 [Easterling]: :)

2009-05-08 [Iske]: but the same as Jaraden sometimes lol ... Evil hehehehe.. aren't we Jaraden?

2009-05-08 [jaraden]: yes! yes we are my dear!!!! but yeah, i love drawing creepy creatures and evil-kitties!!! but ask me to craw anything cute and i'm lost!!!

2009-05-08 [Iske]: I 'M NOT CUTE I AM THE BIG (hairless) lol  monster

2009-05-08 [Easterling]: The monster in the background of the halloween picture, is quite a sweet fellow. Of course scary-sweet...

2009-05-08 [jaraden]: your sute ot me Iske!! nothing wrong with a giant monster, they are so misunderstood!!

and Easterling, i never think any of my monster look scary-sweet, but if you think so then i'll go with you there!! i tend to imagine the horrific damage my creation would wroght on the helpless folk, so to be they are all bloodthirsty savage blokes!!

hee hee!

2009-05-08 [Easterling]: Especially that monster, in the halloween picture, is that kind of "scary-sweet". But the other ones are just scary, I think, especially the orc up there.

2009-05-08 [Easterling]: I accidently wrote a comment that belonged to another wiki... *editing* :P

2009-05-08 [Iske]: your sute ot me Iske!!  In my language a 'sute" means a woosy :)  Still adore ya tho... x x x x

2009-05-08 [jaraden]: oooppssss.. yet another TYPO!!!! argh!!!!! i meant cute!!! you know what i mean though!!

2010-03-06 [Yuriona]: ROFL! That would be awesome. XD

2010-03-06 [Madhalf Heatlump]: That appeals to my twisted sense of humor!!!

2010-03-08 [jaraden]: you and me both.. i could make a wicked funny film with all the bizare ideas floating round my head!! yar!

2010-05-04 [Hendercrazy]: Definitely some really cool pencilwork [jaraden]! :D *now watching* Feel free to add your art wikis over at Art Wikis of Elftown. :)

2010-05-06 [Hendercrazy]: Now added! :P

2010-05-07 [jaraden]: huge cheers!!! i'll have to pop over and check it out... immediately!! har har!

2010-05-13 [Priest Kel]: I must say you have some incredible artwork. However I found that glaring error in that demon picture. The guy has two right hands

2010-05-13 [moira hawthorne]: yeah thats been discussed several times in the comments already...
all artists make such 'oooppppps' now and than... from time immortal to the presents

in such ancient illuminated manuscripts such as The Book of Kells there are mistakes such as backwards feet hands

2010-05-14 [Priest Kel]: I just got here so I didn't realize it had already been discussed. My apologies

2010-05-14 [jaraden]: nicely done priest!! very few people notice that error!!! i only realised that after the image was done, but never changed it (its an old drawing) simple because it reminds me that even i can make huge mistakes.. ha! no worries on the reminder though, i pride myself on remembering that i have to take some time in every ilustration to make sure i haven't screwed up! cheers dude!!!

2010-05-14 [jaraden]: and as always moira, your absolutly correct.. but mistakes are meant to be made, infact we artist should thrive on them don't you think?

2010-05-14 [moira hawthorne]:
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep. -Scott Adams

2010-05-17 [jaraden]: see, hits it one again!! nicely done moira!!!!!!
