That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."
Tobz is guest judging. I haven't really been around the forums to update the thread. I think I'm going to extend the due date since everyone is having problems with inspiration. Sorry it wasn't a fun assignement

i think its perfectly fine xD its not that the assignment is not fun, its just coming up with what we want to illustrate or w/e is the hard part :P but i got my idea...i havent really been able to work on it this week xD
No, no, no! I absolutely love this assignment. For me the problem was that I had too much inspiration. I had two different pics to advance to editing stages. Then I had another idea I thought about switching to. But I'm about done, but adding the finishing touches.
@JKAmaryllis- Please don't confuse my lack of inspiration with a lack of enjoyment or desire. I love to edit, and this comp has been a blast working on every assignment. Sometimes it just takes longer to get the creative flow going.
here is my picture! i decided to do the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
here is a little snippet of the scene:
JULIET
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
JK - I'm with the others -- I can't count how many times I've had TOO many options and just couldn't settle down with one. DEFINITELY not for lack of inspiration, but more for lack of decision lol.
You probably don't remember my Feather Moon picture from FF? With the 3 chicks in the air on those birds? That was one of THE most difficult pictures I've ever ever ever done because I just COULD. NOT. decide on justone song to represent. Every single song I heard, no matter what genre, no matter what artist, no matter what time period, was potentially 'the One'. It was torture!!! But the assignment itself was fine, I actually had a lot of fun with it lmao That's part of the reason it takes me sooooo lonnnnnng to finish a picture -- to many ideas swirling around in the old noggin (cobwebby as it is now :? )
Yaaayyy Tobz!
"If you don't talk to your cat about catnip... who will?"
"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

@CeleSeraphym-Thank you! The shoes are my favorite pair in the game. They are by Meronin at TSR. I'm not really a big fan of the way most of her stuff looks in game, but I love her shoes! LOL
This has been extended yes?
I'm trying to get my VTM finale finally finished tonight and I just dropped one comp so hopefully my schedule loosens up a bit so I can make regular deadlines.
Yeah. It will probably be at least tuesday or wednesday before I can get scores. Worked some overtime at the end of this past week and still have more to work this coming week
I've found this assignment really difficult for some reason >.< But anyway this is what i've ended up with this after about 7 different ideas xD I was going to do loads of editing but in the end it didn't really need any
Heres the extract from "Through the looking glass" that I based my pic on
How nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking-glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Let's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze, so that we can get through. Why, it's turning into a sort of mist now, I declare! It'll be easy enough to get through — ' And certainly the glass was beginning to melt away, just like a bright silvery mist.
In another moment Alice was through the glass.
I hate having to keep you guys waiting all the time so I'm just going to drop, just don't have the time to be spending in front of the computer atm so I wouldn't be able to submit anything decent anyways.

My photo is based off the poem
The Girl on the Flying Trapeze
By
John Birkbeck
She loops
and wheels
high above
my clenched
counter intuition
my white lips
stretched into
a mirthless grin
She vaults
beyond her
gravity-- above
no safety net
no antidotes or
morality epigrammes
about feckless
plunges into
blind safety
split seconds
above my
quaking bowells
and I wonder
if anyone else
would wait
for her ultimate
denouement.
Im so clueless at the moment - have NO ideas xD
I had a horrible time coming up with something for this assignment. It was like there were millions of options, and all I could do was draw a blank.
