Bemoaning about an art project and plea for attention

[soc_puppet]

Yeah, so, uh. If I hadn't forgotten to bring the icon that is proof that I am a terrible person, I would be doing an icon dump right now. As it is, you're stuck with the one Snooch icon, and will have to wait for the others later. Wrrrryyyyy did I have to forget that one? *fails* And yeah, if I drank, now might be a time I'd go for it. 'Cuz I've got yet another art project due tomorrow that I still haven't really started on. And every time I think about starting it, I get an attack. Unless it's in the abstract sense that I'll be able to make everything up and it doesn't have to be from real life or something. Then I'm... not terrible. But I'm still dead meat tomorrow, as me doing this and the final is pretty much my one chance of passing the class at this point. Which I would be considerably more okay with if the teacher hadn't pointed out (in front of the class, no less) that I (specifically) was going to fry if I didn't start turning things in. Just because I don't look like I've got ADHD in class doesn't mean I don't have it... *grumble grumble* *should reeeeeally get to work on that paperwork* Also, mood is now back in the gutter range ¦D Go, me! So much for it being a really, really short bout of depression. Hopefully I'll feel better once my meds are changed. Or something.

Anyway, someone distract (read as: spam) me. I feel like talking right now.

Awww drat. Oh well, and I know my uni. definitely has a 'no instally any programmy' policy. XP

So.. what is this art project, if you don't mind my asking?

Also, I need to finish up my current plunnies and commission and get around to playing in your sandbox - have a plunnie for your Tentacular-verse. =3

Alas :'( It will probably continue this way until I get the internet at home again. Which may take a while =_=

Three weeks ago we were assigned to draw something on a page of 22"x30" 'good' paper. It had to include six 'objects': one clear vessel of water or other clear liquid, one reflective metal object of some complexity, one piece of food, and all or a significant part of the human figure. The other objects could be anything. It also had to have a piece of cloth, somehow draped or folded, but it didn't count as one of the objects. All of them had to fit together in a theme of some sort. It was also strongly hinted that we had to draw at least some of it from real life, as he doubted our collected ability to draw folded/draped cloth from imagination. Which is valid in at least my case, but still kinda sucks, as I'm not much of a 'from RL' person, unless it's by choice.

*a moment of silence, followed by an earthshattering "SQUEE!!"* Have I ever mentioned that I love you? ♥♥♥? And can I possibly poke you for details? :3

awww *pathug*

Oooo.....the first thing that came to mind was a metal pitcher, a glass of water, and a loaf of bread on a table, with a napkin being the folded cloth, and a pixie/fiary(small human with insect/butterfly wings) somehow involved - if you know your teach' is okay with it, you could have one nekkid male pixie backing another nekkid male pixie back onto the loaf of bread(if the bread is fairly low or a couple of piled slices), or whichever mix of genders sounds good - it's completely my preference to gravitate immediately to two male pixies X3;;; And other objects... saltshaker, or candle/candleholder, or some fruit(if you can have multiple 'food' objects), partially visible bowl or small desert cup with icecream etc etc.

XD! ♥ I shall find where I typed up the plunnie and get back to you in a few minutes, hai!

[soc_puppet]

Someday I will have a job again and will be able to pay for my own internet! *determined*

...Dang, that sounds hawt awesome both hawt and awesome. But I probably couldn't get away with it :/ This teacher's been pushing realism for most of the class, unfortunately (and then pulled a complete 180 for the final project when he handed the assignment sheets out yesterday =_=). Why is it all the cool teachers have to give the hardest assignments?

Yay! *boogies*

[dogmatix-san.livejournal.com]

=^___^= *prrrr* Hmm.. would he mind as long as they were realistic-looking pixies? X3;;; And if yes, how about a photograph? That way the human figure doesn't have to be at scale to the rest and you can pick and choose what part/s of the body you want to show. Or a painting in the background. Or you could do something with a theme like 'Japan', where you havae rice instead of bread and an asiatic dragon as the metal handle of the water jug and a placemat with sakura blossoms on it or something >.>; Or go with Renaissance type objects (that's actually the types that first occured to me, since most of the art/still-life stuff I've seen in my art classes have been that style. Or.. hmmm...... Since it's halloween, you could go with..... a glass/bottle of oil, a slab of raw meat/chopped off hand, and a tortured humanoid figure in the candlestick or something XD;;;;;;


And now, the plunnie! :D

Setting: University dorm in the middle of finals

*someone hunched over a book*

*clock ticking, pages rustling*

*door creaks open, revealing a tired looking young man with shaggy black hair(Drake)*

*Drake drops bookbag on the chair, stumbles through to the bedroom, where first person studying is*

*Drake stops, takes in the image of his intent, focused roommate on the top bunk bed - who has tentacles. wrapped around the bedposts*

Drake: 'Why... is Tom wearing a costume- no No, I don't want to know.' *walks over to Tom* Yo Tom, you have the psych textbook up there?

*Tom distractedly reaches over with a tentacle, grabs up the requested textbook and dips it over to Drake* Here.

Drake: *blinkblink* 'that... is not a costume.' *Drake lightly takes hold of book* You're going to explain this, right?

Tom: Hell no. I have a Calc III final in less than- *checks watch strapped to bundle of tentacles serving as an arm* -twelve horus. If you weren't taking notes in Psych, I am not going to review it for you.

Drake: ....not what I was talking about *tug-tugs on book*

Tom: *looks over*

*tableau holds for a beat*

Tom: Oh.... oh nooooooo *jerks tentacles in, drags blanket over himself*

Drake: Tom?

Tom: Bring me the salt.

Drake: *blink* what?

Tom: I'm gonna shrivel up and die now, thanks.

Drake: ........ I'm going to make coffee. *walks out in a daze, calls back* And you owe me an explanation!

Tom: *groan*

Drake: And for fuck's sake don't go to the final like that!

Tom: *groooaaaaan*

*five minutes later, Drake wanders back, holding two cups of coffee*

*Tom is asleep when Drake pulls back the blankets, passed out and drooling slightly on book. He still has tentacles*

*Drake sets Tom's alarm for hour hours hence* And you ~still~ owe me that explanation. *turns off main room light, leaving only the bedside lamp on, leaves to study in kitchenette*

for four hours hence* *smunks self for typo*

And yeah, most good teachers are difficult X3; Not all of them, but most of them. At least in my experience.

[soc_puppet]

I. I love you so much. You're even going into your own part of the universe and everything! My greatest hopes have been surpassed ♥♥♥

My favorite bit is so the "You're going to explain this to me, right?" part :DD *loooves upon*

I could stand it if they didn't give such heavy workloads :/

[dogmatix-san.livejournal.com]

=^________^= It's such an awesome universe, how could I resist?

XD Thanks! Poor Tom, He's a behavioural scientist, not a mathematical one, and Earth math is so weird and convoluted and and and- *spaz* (I'm guessing his species didn't come with base ten math, or even base eight, or.. mmm.. maybe twelve? Or six? Or something else alltogether. It's just that Earth math is so different from what he barely managed to get through the first time and.. yeah X3;; )

>.> nrrr... yeah, there's this one particular art history teacher where you definitely know your stuff when she's done with you. But I still like her classes XD;; And then of course there was the archeology class, where it helped that I'm, uh, slightly obsessed with Egypt. XD;

[soc_puppet]

*hearts all over you*

Yeowch. Definitely poor Tom >_O (To tell the truth, I don't even know what base anything math is, and I consider myself somewhat math-savvy :D;;; But yeah, I can definitely see their math being different. And probably also their counting systems.)

I take it that 'slighly obsessed' isn't so much an outright lie as it is a gross understatement? ;)

[dogmatix-san.livejournal.com]

Base ten just means that you have ten distinct numerals (0, 1, 2, ... 9) to work with, then you have to jump up to combinations of numberals. Basically, a counting system, yeah.

The reason I know this so well is because computers work on binary, so they had to explain the concept of base ten versus base 2 to us. See, because you only have on/off to use for 'numbers', you count 00, then 01... and then 10.

0(base ten) = 0(base2/binary)
1(base ten) = 1(base two)
2(base ten) = 10(base two)
3(base ten) = 11(base two)

12 is an easy base because you can divide it by two, three, and four. I thought maybe base six for them because 3(tentacles per arm) x 2 = 6. Or they might use some other base completely.

X3;; but that's just me being completely geeky.


*l* And that would be correct, yep. XD

[soc_puppet]

Oh, okay. That makes more sense than when I've tried to have it explained before.

By all means, go and develop the world some more :DD I probably wouldn't have gotten to the math system for a long time, if at all, so.

I thought as much ^_~
