Assignment 3 results

Mine:

Ryan's:


There were no favorites this week. The assignment was "Just Dance" ... I did the tango, Ryan had Polka. Not the best.


Also: I have been working on a new story called Abducted. You can find the link on the lefthand side of this page.

Pictures from that story:





From my ratings, page views, and feedback I can tell it's well-liked. I really like writing it.

More pictures

Here are a couple that I forgot to put up last night:



I just felt like playing with the grain merge in layer mode. Came out pretty sweet though.

Here's one I did today by request of Ryan:


He requested a fallen angel. This is what I came up with. I am really happy that this did not require a border for it to look more dimensional. I know it's really dark, but that was the point.

Also: I will be working on Lia's sim story later tonight. I am still in the process of restoring everything.

A picture

I thought I'd share this too:

One of my favorites so far. It just kind of fell together. I love it. Yes, they are the same sim: Lia Gallagher.

A bit overwhelmed, but need to keep busy

For some reason, I'm always complaining that I'm so busy and so exhausted because of how busy I am, but whenever I lose everything and have nothing to do, I overwhelm myself with extra work. Like this:

1. Learning French Horn (and working on concert band music, that's tough stuff!)
2. Working on S+E ensemble music for french horn, and a (probably A class) solo for my trumpet
3. Working on S+E musical theater solo (Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom) and an A - Class solo for voice
4. Three Sims 3 contests (Miss World, Miss Italy, Miss Europe)
5. Colorguard auditions at the end of the year, and will be practicing all summer
6. I'll be a senior next year. Senioritis, here I come x.x
7. FINALS THIS WEEK! ><

Anyway, yes, I've joined another contest for Sims (for those of you who care). I had to be accepted into this one.
The images I sent with the accepted application:

Lia is so gorgeous... My beautiful Lia Lee <3


And some photos I have been working on:

 ^Not my best, but I got bored. lol

This was just me playing with the path tool, and the wind and polar coordinate tools. No brushes, everything from scratch, and then a screenshot. She has such an expressive face.


Hope: I haven't been working on it, but I'll get to it. I have other stuff to do too. Still going to do it though!

A bird

I know the stomach looks weird. This took a couple hours. In GIMP. Inspired by Amila. <3!

Hope update

I got into doing GIMP images again, and have been rather bored. Above this post, you may have noticed a picture with some feathers on it. That is one possibility I have for a book cover. I know, I should've paid more attention to the selection around the text. And I probably shouldn't have saved it as a JPEG. Oh, well.

More GIMP'd items:



Inspired by Adele. More posts coming later.

I have been trying to log into L2 lately. It's being mean and won't let me because server traffic is too high. Ban the noobs.

I'm a favorite!

I am... Super-duper proud of myself. The post from last night with my picture on it? With the violin?

It was chosen as favorite by all three judges, meaning I'm safe for the next round.

The next picture assignment is "Just Dance" -
The requirements:
- Must be a form of Dance ( Not something you made up)
- You may use others in your photo
- You must include a short amount of information on the dance. ( Name and how it's preformed)


Since I already had the ballet poses, I was going to go with that, but... That's just so cliche. Instead, I think I'll try a few different things and see what I can come up with. This is my experimental round since I'm safe. Can't wait to get in my game. Just have to find my sticky notes first...
