Step into my dorky world

Hello lovelies! I wanted to share some excitement with you all! This is a bit of a step outside SL but it does have to do with the future of my blogging!!

I got a tablet! Or I guess I should say I've been loaned one (uhm yeah i'm not giving it up!) My Father-in-law was super kind to give me his barely used tablet. He bought it for work purposes, used it for less than an hour and completed the task he needed it for. I've been drooling over it for a while now.

I've read some good and bad reviews about how other bloggers and photogs with tablets feel about them. It seems a bit of a toss up. I happen to adore this one, at least for picture editing purposes. Sometimes I've wanted to get a bit artsy for the sake of a challenge or just for a personal picture and doing some of the things I've wanted just hasn't worked out with a mouse. SO yay, excitement. And please bear with me are I take the journey into something totally new for me :D

Oh and what's a blog without a picture! I'm not a great artist but it did giveme a better scale of what I could expect to do :D

I drew this completely by hand and then cheated with a but of autofill while i played around. I'd liken it to the work of a child but hey considering i couldn't even sign my name with a mouse I'm pretty excited to start advancing.

Also for anyone interested in how it would help them:

Editing or creating makeup especially delicate pieces is SO much easier.

Overwhelmed but up for a Challenge

Sometimes my brain just can't handle everything that get thrown at it. I'm juggling so much in my RL and have far too many amazing things to show you all in SL. INstead of sitting down and getting it all under control I decided to go peeping for a new blogger challenge. Yay for me I found one! I'm starting a week late but that's not so bad!

The newest blogger challenge I have decided to partake in is the: Blog Hero Challenge Week 2: Don't Fear the Reaper.

The idea behind the challenge is that the amazing Shayariel Teardrop picks lyrics for a song weekly and we get to do our own photo representation of said lyrics. It can be a scene, artistic view... whatever pleases you! You can check out her first week -here- where she explains about it in a bit more detail!

This weeks lyrics are:

"All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man..."

I was super excited about this because my bestie in SL loves to romp around in her Lady Death avatar she spent forever working on. You'll often see us riding around, me all bright and shiny, her all dark and deadly. I thought she would be a fantastic reaper for my picture! There are a few giggles behind the thoughts for this as well :P

I tried to play around with Gimp a bit on this but I'm really not so good at it...

Thanks again to Shayariel for the awesome experience!!
