Shut up about Ted freaking Kennedy.

I don’t really care what he did for my state, there is no way it is important enough for about 3 days now of nonstop TED KENNEDY HAS BRAIN CANCER OMG! on the news.

Really, everyone’s all “Oh, he’s a LION! RAWR!” and “Such a hero!” like he’s dead already. About every 5 minutes, the news breaks AGAIN! Ted Kennedy has a tumor! It’s in his brain! Now he’s at his vacation home! Now he’s doing stuff with boats! We told you first!

Honestly. Isn’t there anything else going on? Like, oh, say, the war our country is currently engaged in? The failing economy? The plight of those affected by the motherload of natural disasters lately? No sir, Ted Kennedy has cancer. Can’t talk about anything else, lest I forget for a moment that it’s MALIGNANT and the survival rate is 1–5 years (but he’s a fighter, so you never know, as they’ve told me about 57 million times) and everybody lurves him sooooo much. . . gah.

In other news, Ember Sky is coming along nicely. I think I’ll redraw Christophe (again) or do Fire Emblem style faces if I can’t get the look I want. But I’m quite excited at the progress I’ve made.

More photos tomorrow, maybe, if we can afford the developing.

Also, did you know that Ted Kennedy has cancer? In his brain? YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

Photos at last

I’m just going to link to my DA gallery, rather than posting here, but I’ll post each time I update my gallery.

Christophe!

Preliminary face art for Ember Sky’s drunken hero.

I dunno if I’ll keep it like this. I’m not a great artist, but I think it’s okay. Hooray progress!
