So excited! Got given a link to a safe download of Photoshop recently from a lovely simmer on Symlish. I install it today...took me forever. I also tried to install 900 brushes that I also nabbed through a torrent, but CS5 has a limit on brushes so I'm going to have to actually go through them all and delete all the ones I don't like or won't use since they didn't all successfully install. Luckily thats really easy to do since I can delete and load brushes WHILE photoshop is open and running.
Normally I would give myself a chance to get used to the program before jumping right in....but screw it. I'm about to finish of the in game base of my entry for Beech Modeling....and then I'm going to slide it on into photoshop and get busy. I think I'm even going to attempt some hairdrawing.
I have until midnight tonight to get my entry in, and even if I end up getting eliminated due to trowing caution to the wind and working with a brand new program right in the assignment that will decide the top three...then at least I would have gotten some practice.

Life, Death and a bit of Lolita
So yeah, I totally forgot to post my stuff....bad PK
DEMONS entry, Assignment was two pictures representing how our Demon sees life and Death.
Not exactaly the most stunning entries in terms of smooth editing, but I had fun making them, and they are decent considering I procrastinated for so long and was late getting them in (won't be doing that again)
And then there's my entry for Hot or Not. Beech has opted for that pesky ''PM me your assignment'' angle, so I feel weird about posting my entry before they have been revealed. I will however try to be better at remembering to post it than I was with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
First assignment was Lolita style, plain background, contrasting colors, sex appeal
Scores are already in for this one and I came first, I'm glad I scored so high even though my background was a bit TOO simple and I should have upped the Lolita look by adding stockings (Sundra has lovely legs though!)

LIFE
After recovering from the shock of watching her own body being created Static got a chance to explore her surroundings. She found herself in a strange synthetic world, full of all kinds of information.
She began to familiarize herself with her summoner even before being introduced to her, by viewing photographs and home videos she had stored on her computer. Static watched hours of television shows, flicked through hundreds of pictures and listened to many different audio recordings, most of which were musical.
She learned all about her jailer, her family and friends....as well as the eccentricities of this new species called human, via all the media both personal and commercial her summoner had stored on her hard drive, from baby pictures to animations. Some of the discoveries were wondrous, others shocking and some confused Static and had her mind racing.
''Zara'', she said her name allowed, it felt foreign and strange, but Static knew it was a name she would remember.

DEATH
Zara turned out to be an interesting creature. Sometimes Static quite liked her, she spoke to her like a friend, asked her opinion on things and even entertained her. But she was also very cruel, sometimes treating Static like a toy, a slave....almost like she saw Static as something she had created rather than someone whom she had summoned from another plain of existence.
Something Static found both enjoyable and horrifying were computer games, Zara had a large variety of them on her computer, her favorites though were the ones that involved killing things. She included Static in these adventures, sometimes as an ally, and others as her enemy.
Static had not quite got her head around certain concepts of human existence from Zara's media library and one such thing was death. However during her time in these games she experienced this over and over. At first it was a little rattling, the sudden darkness and feeling of weightlessness, but eventually became expected, mundane. Static would put herself in riskier and riskier positions, having no fear of watching zombies tear her body apart, or bullets rip through her flesh......as she would just re-spawn to try it all over again, she was immortal.

I Get Distracted Easily
I'm currently desperately trying to finish scores for Inspiration and my pictures for DEMONS...I've been so slack lately. In between forums, and chatboxes, sleeping and spending time with the hubby I've done jack all in the sim modeling department, I'm behind in judging and my DEMONS entry is super late.
Soon as I have it finished I promise to post it, and I'm trying to get myself in order less time wasting, more making sure I'm up to date with all my other commitments.

Two Pictures
Been slow going with the Sims stuff, mainly because another friend of my husbands from World of Warcraft has signed up to League of Legends so we have been playing a lot of games with him. Actually did my first pvp games last night. I change champions so often I've never felt good about going a pvp game and possibly holding my team back, but I'm slowly accumulating a group of Champs I'm going to be practicing with.
Last night I managed to finish both my Beech Modeling entry which was something that was due, and my Work it entry which I actually got in super early. Both were of the high fashion style, which is actually quite a bit easier than doing an entry for say...a fantasy or lifestyle competitions.
Beech Modeling was a black and white high fashion shoot, in a swimsuit of course.
Work It was interesting this time around. We once again had a blind choice of CC to use in the picture, this time it was paintings, I ended up with a yellow stylized one. Our model had to pose with the painting on a white background, using the painting as inspiration for our model's style....something that would sell the painting. I kinda got a grunge feel from mine so I came up with this.

Still Awake
Another sleepless night for me, I blame wrestling.
It was good, my husband wasn't overly happy with it, I guess he thought it was going to be a televised show, but that was never going to happen because our stadium (though bigger than the capital of SK Regina) isn't really equipped for a recorded event and the recorded event was going to happen in Edmonton. There were a few things missing since it was just a house event, no commentators, HHH didn't make an appearance in person and no promos, but I enjoyed it all the same.
It probably would have been better if we were seated with some more lively folks. We had some old folks in front of us who looked like they were falling asleep the whole time, and a guy and his son, he spent most of his time taking photos on his digital camera and his son only really got into it when damned Cena arrived (When I started booing Cena the kid turned around with this shocked look on his face like I had just killed a kitten) and this kid actually yelled out for Cena to ''show us his abs'' was quite disturbing. There was also a young girl behind us with the most terrible high pitched voice, she screamed basically the whole time Kelly Kelly was in the ring (lucky Diva's matches are short) and flipped out when Cena came out as well. The guy next to me was about my age but didn't cheer, or get into the chants or anything the sad sack of shit. Next time I think we will drive the 5 hours to Edmonton and get tickets to the televised event for the full experience....that way we can also go to Taco Bell because Saskatoon doesn't even have one grrr.
I was meant to be spending the rest of the night doing sims stuff if I was still awake. All I've done though is scores for PINK because I'm watching the Live televised Intel Extreme Masters tournament for League of Legends, the final starts in about half an hour. I swear my husband has turned me into a bigger nerd than I was when I met him....watching damned Starcraft and LoL tournaments.
I will be doing at least one competition picture today however, so there might be a second more Simmy related post today too. Hope everyone elses weekend is going as great as mine is.

Wooooo!
99 Minions! Just one more and I can rule the world mwhahahaha
Also in other news, I was planning to do stuff yesterday...then I got sidetracked with various things of the time wasting nature, mainly chat and watching games of both the soon to be released DOTA 2 and the new map ''Dominion'' and game play for League of Legends.
I'm also about to leave to have dinner before seeing WWE RAW, something the hubby and I bought tickets for a while ago. I was thinking about taking my camera, but I think I might just go and have a good time and not worry about taking snapshots, it's all about the show anyways. Therefore there will probably be no Sims flavored updates tonight either, though I'm hoping the adrenalin will be pumping when I get home and I might finish off a few more of the assignment example pictures I've been doing....which was what I was talking about in my previous post. Felicia has asked me to be the co-host for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, which is starting soonish....prob in the next couple of weeks, so 6 of the assignments will feature example shots done by me....and I've finished a total of....one.
