[Edreina's Scrapbook] When All is Silent, I Still Hear Waves

I'm usually not one for music sharing either, but since you put up Pentatonix, I feel your music page cannot be complete without this little gem of theirs:

Which also makes for a good example of how awesome Lindsey Sterling, love her.

Oh my god! I adore Lindsey Sterling! Have you ever seen her Skyrim one? Gyah! She is so talented it makes my ego hurt xD I can't even play a recorder.

That is to every teacher who designs their tests so that 80% of their students fail miserably and then flat out tell everyone that the only possible way to pass the test is to do her "curve work-sheet". I like having a very high GPA. So, I've spent the majority of my weekend writing 8 pages worth of "short-answers". Oh! And screw your bullcrap of saying that "every answer is in [your] lecture"! You use the same slideshows you show Freshman and just expect us to magically fill in the Grand Canyon! Also, your snarkiness when anyone other than your precious Fosters (biggest pair of brown-nosing arse-lickers you will ever meet) asks you a question is greatly appreciated. NOT! Yes, you have a Master's degree. Yes, you've been teaching for 20 years. That doesn't mean you can treat us like poop! (Oh wait. You find poop to be fascinating. You treat us like... MATH!) We want to learn and you're not making that easy in any way.

I'm so very sorry for asking how quorum sensing in bacteria regulates physiological responses when paired with external and internal stimuli!

Gyah!

. . .Sorry about the rant. It's late and I'm tired of losing sleep over this class. :smoke:

And yes. I realize that I shifted from a generalization to yelling at someone specific. I was just tired of bottling it up. xD

Anywhoozles.

Back to work!

This is what I've been working on the past few days in school...

Opinions? o.o

I'm thinking it is too busy but I don't know what to take off

It looks pretty sweet to me. I think the mass of white balances the crowded and explosive area around the woman's head out pretty well.

The only thing I noticed is that the color splashes behind the tree branches look a little stretched out (my advisor at school always jumped on anything that looked even remotely stretched or squashed

), I'm not sure if tightening them up would help or not, but that's my two cents, haha. I really like the color scheme.

Those are actually just watercolor brushes xD I might tweak their proportions a bit, though, since you mention it.

Thank you for the input!

For writers everywhere

A montage to anyone who talks to me on a regular basis.

I'm impulsive, erratic, and 90% of the time, the things that leave my mouth really shouldn't. I have absolutely no filter, and my boundless energy seems to get me into more trouble than I'm worth. I'm about as loyal as a yellow lab, as intimidating as a chihuahua, and as stubborn as a Pit Bull, and as enthusiastic as a Jack Russell on meth.

I know I can wear on your nerves, and for that I apologize.

Traverse, I adjusted the ratio of the hair...splatter... things... And I attempted to make it look like the paint was escaping through cracks in the woman herself... Opinions now? o.o

I really liked it a lot better without the cracks. Before it read like an aura around her that made different statements in splashes of ideas and colors, sort of funky retro collage. Now it kinda reads like a 50's pinup prelude to a Disney Zombie Apocalypse.

by **Edreina** on October 14th, 2013, 7:09 pm

Y'see that's what I said. But then my teacher basically told me it looked incomplete and needed another element. So I threw cracks on. I'm gonna take those of again for my portfolio and submit the one she likes, I think.
