Me, I'm a Creator; Thrill is to make it up
I've been trying to Photoshop celebrity photos into fan art and I got fed up with it enough that I decided to, well, Photoshop myself for a while. This lead to busting out the camera, playing dress up, and MySpacing it up for an hour and making these. Gawd. Is this ghetto cosplay or Photoshop whoring? I don't even know. But, damn this is fun. Too bad I don't have the cash to make the uniform or the body to be an Orion.
I'm a spunky goober! Going for what Janice Rand would look like if she was in the updated Trek. Sari posted videos about hairstyles which lead to me spending an hour surfing hair how to videos on YouTube. I decided to try the fake bouffant. You can't see the volume in the photo, but it's there.
I've seriously spent about 5 hours figuring out the best and simplest ways to turn girls green in Photoshop and make it look a cross between the decent body paint in TOS and the faker than fake body paint in Trek XI. Harder than it sounds. I'm getting better. I think. Still haven't finished the Gaila fanart I was working on. Buh.
And, icon crazy. I might actually use some of these. Really. I prefer to use icons of myself because I want the icon to represent me, but damn do I have a funny looking face. It's hard to work with, yo.
In real life business, I've got all the cute little pieces cut out for the flower girl dress, but as I was gearing up to assemble them, my sibling crashed in and asked for help clearing out the hallway while my father wasn't looking. I've spoken of this before, but the skinny is that my father has an unhealthy tendency to hoard things and we've never noticed how bad he really was about it until recently when we started plans to renovate and clean out the house. So, while he was doing things outside and my sibling had the weird motivation/urge to clean, we attacked the guest room - which had become the overflow for the attic.
Nothing in my parents' house has gotten thrown away in years, it seems. Or recycled. Or given away. There are five bags of bedding ready for the next round of donations. We found 3 printers. Three. Also, discovered photos from back in the day. Really back in the day. As in my grandparents as newlyweds circa WWII, my mother's baby pictures from 1950, and my parents' wedding album among others. So, some of the room was great flashback-to-childhood material. Other things were just bizarre.
The sibling with a pocho and hat we found.
The box of electronics for recycle. Two modems, two printers, a cell phone, and about 10 AC adapters that go to who knows what.
The old cellphone. My sibling goes in for the kill.
Facebook hell.
The mp3 player I had in high school. Remember Zip discs? 100MBs? Man, hard to believe I started high school 10 years ago.
The Star Trek 25th Anniversary Computer Game. So, 1981? I'd play it, but it's on 5" floppys. The ones that were actually floppy, remember those?
Anyway, I escaped long enough to watch a movie and shop the above images around dinner time. In the middle of the movie my sibling busted in the room again to inform me she was well into her second hour of a Clean House marathon and she was pumped. Apparently tomorrow we are going to be all ninja like and start cleaning out the basement underneath my father's nose. We'll see how this works. I also need to finish that dress. Hm. My sibling keeps going off on rants about upping the resale value of the house. Very suspicious. Well, if my parents and I are offed and there's a For Sale sign in the front lawn sometime in the next few months, you know who did it.
I need to make a music post. I've gotten my grubby little hands on some great music lately. But, I think my drive is becoming unstable again.
