Really great shot, tones of the picture are great. My only problem is I can't see her face and I am drawn to look at the man on the ground more (maybe its the blue hair :p) Other than that great job.

I really like this picture, it represents the song very well. The only thing that bugs me, though, is her pose…I get that she’s calling for him, but the position of her arms just detracts from the feel of the rest of the picture. Awesome job!

Wows, great shot. The angle, the detail to the set. The only thing I'd watch is the placement of lights, I don't know if that's a lamp near the flowers on the bottom. Great job.

I really like this picture, it’s very dark and represents the atmosphere of the song very well, however, I’m not partial to the scratchy border…I actually stated no borders in the rules, but I’ll let this pass because it’s not garishly noticeable…. I’m really glad, though that you chose an instrumental song, because it shows that not all gothic people listen to music with lyrics. Awesome job!

I was a bit stumped on this one the music is wickedly creepy. I like the way u set the shot up. Creepy church, a row of death in the background and a blood sucking succubus. The only thing is the model looks a bit to happy.

I really like this picture. I love the use of the use of the mirrors. The only thing is that the picture is a bit too evil for the song. Good job!

Really great I like this shot really well done and thought out. I hate to sound like a broken record but I like to see the models faces a bit more, that's all.

love the colours, the red lighting like hells fire is a great touch. This photo would look great with adjusted lighting as the background is a bit bland. More of a stony hell like background would have made it pop, also grimy on the right looks like he is scratching his head in confusion.

This is a really cool picture…very circus-y/Edwardian era toys feel. You represent the song well, but I’m incredibly confused about the floating dude…what’s his purpose? Also, I agree with Toblie, it would have looked better if her wings had been more metallic looking. Great job!

Love the background and how your models face is lit up. The big yellow wings I am unsure about, would liked to have seen them look more like steel. I like the shot but I got confused who the model was lol. But overall nice work.

I like this picture, it captures the tone of the song really well, and it reminds me of a horror movie. However, I think you took the meaning of the song too literally. I think something a little more abstract would have been better. Good job!

I love the lighting gives the feel of a surgery, but I find myself drawn to the neurotic nurse a bit more than your model. If the shot was more at his level it would have been better, but overall great job.

This is a really pretty picture. I like the way he is looking at her like he wants her. I think the picture would have looked better if it had been at night, though, and a more creative background would have been better as well. Good job!

I like this one, I see the psychopathic love he has for her, creepy. But I say try to mess around with lighting and backgrounds. And a trick I learnt taking photos, in build mode (if its day and u want a night shot) use the terrain colour tool and the squares disappear from the ground, just make sure you hide the circle off screen.

This is a nice shot, but it seems a little thrown together. It represents the song, but it would have been nice if the set had looked a little more bar-like and if it had been set at night. Also, it’s a little unclear who the model is because she is so covered up. Good job, though.

Toblie:

I like the different angle this is taken at. The reds are great, but I would liked to have seen a bit more of your model. The background out the window would have been better if it was night time. Overall nice job.

This is nice picture, but there’s nothing particularly gothic about it… Also, I don’t think you represented the song very well…from reading the lyrics, it’s more about memories than hardcore mourning. Good job, though.

I like the mist and the night sky in the back ground. I understand the pain he is feeling but I would have liked to have seen the models eyes open. And again don't be afraid to play with lighting, messing about with saturation and stuff can give the mood you want portray.

-Eliminated-

No one since someone dropped out.


Good luck on the next assignment everyone!!

The only way I've found to stop trees disappearing is to zoom out until they are visable, and then use tab to get in closer (they don't disappear in tabbed camera mode)

But maybe someone else has a trick I don't know of, I'm only learning all the sneaky things to take great non edited shots hehe

You can also type in fadeobjects off and hit tab move the mouse a little and the trees will stay.

Oh thanking you guys! I didn't even think of fade objects off. I found that the planted trees don't disappear on ya too much. I wanted a scorched tree but it kept fading on me, but in the end I'm happy it didn't work out. I'm pretty happy with what I've managed to shoot I think, I'm just gonna go take a look. Gotta do this today cause my work week gets too busy from here on out.

I think I might start building my set too actally, was starting on my Berry sweet entry...but it was getting me all frustrated, I might wait to see what the others come up with first lol.

The Curse -by me


The fruit was rotten , that fell from the tree.

It called to me singing, "Come see, Come see.
Just one bite, and I'll show you the world
It's secrets, it's treasures for you, unfurled."

"The answers sought, I'll show you all.
With just one bite, mankind you will enthrall."

I try not to listen, I try to stay strong,
I deafen my ears to this siren's song.

"I am ripe, I am juicy, just take a bite.
I will show you the world and all of it's plight."

I shake my head "No." as my hand reaches out,
My pulse flutters loudly, choking me with doubt.
The fruit looks so delicate so fragile and rare,
In it's lie, I am already ensnared.

"Taste me, taste me. I wont steer you wrong.
It is of this Earth, not the Heavens to which you belong."

"No, I wont do it, my God tells me No.
For he told me "Child for you, this fruit I did not sew."

"Just take one bite, your God will not see.
If not for your lips to taste, why make this tree?"

So red and ripe the fruit warmed in my hand,
But between my lips the juice turned to sand.
The images flash and fill my mind,
The blight of the world to me is defined.

He speaks "My child what have you done?
From my garden you are now shunned.
Clothing you will wear, you naked state be effaced.
In woman's labour you'll no longer feel my grace."

"Father, please forgive me ! Wont you turn a blind eye?
I was tricked and turned and lost in the lie.
The pain of the world it is too much, to bare.
Father I am so lost, please, hear my prayer."

The hatred and pain runs through my mind,
I tear with my nails at my eyes until I am blind.
The images stay and dance all around,
The shame of the world lives in me profound.

From just one small apple, I found my fame.
From just one bite I lived in shame.

It's written, it's spoken, it's always the same.
It's uttered as a cure, "It's Eve who's to blame!!!"

Please do not mock me I can not write. Hehehe Well I really know shame after this one... hehehe.

Edited to add a verse and to make it read better

Thats awesome sereniticat.

Great job in assignment 1 everyone =D Congrats RD for #1 - your picture is all kinds of awesome!

I'm happy to see poetry round already <3 Can't wait to see what you all come up with

Love your entry sereniti. I love the Eve theme, and the picture is really cool!

Ooh, yay. One in already! :D

I'm in love with your pic, seren!
I'm stuck on my poem. I have like.. two lines and I don't even know where I want them in the poem. But I really want to write it. :D

Oh wow Seren... I can't compete with that!

Its great Evie! You to Seren!

Sereni where did you get that awesome spiderweb and the snakes wrapped around her body? I must have them immediately! Your picture is beyond amazing. I know everyone is going to be stepping up their game majorly this round.

Dude Cele you can do my pic, I don't mind but we will have to keep it between us as I don't think cheating is allowed... wait

Evie your picture is beautiful as is your poem, definitely no need to be embarrassed.

lol i love you RD. NO CHEATING SAYS A LURKERRR!!! :D *cough*

lol you guys!

I finally got my example up and realised that it's a lot like Evie's. lol

Akasha that painting is one of my favorites. I found it a while ago on deviantART. Its just so captivating and it expresses the torment someone like him was probably feeling inside.

Ikr! It always makes me a little teary-eyed when I see it! *sniffle*

Euphoria... I'm really going to have to think about that one. Like how in bobs green earth do you make euphoria goth, the most extreme state of happiness one can be in and I have to make it look goth... think brain think.

And I'm so sorry Cece, I was going to do the Ken doll thing too but I just didn't like the way it looked. I won't do it again though, sorry again.

I don't know why these freaking pages change shape when you load it..makes me feel like I'm on some amazing mind altering drugs...but minus the drugs...which then just makes me crazy...that's why I'm rambling...crazy rambles!! :D

No RD no need to apologize it's fine. It was done so tastefully that I don't mind. So know big deal!! :D Plus it wasn't of a sexual nature and blah blah blah...some rules are meant to be bent and broken. You did no harm!!

Wow fantastic entires already, holy craps!!

Can I still use my spiderwebs? Cause I love them, and want to use them too.

Sure, with the lack of cc everyone's bound to use the same thing at least once. lol

THANK YOU!

Setting up my set now.

It involves knives

Ohai! :D I'm back, and I'll be judging again so everyone better what out >_> Jk jk

Great pictures from the last assignment, well done everyone on making it through. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this assignment!

Hey there Phoebe girl! You doin better?

I'm feeling better thanks

Good to hear, luv! ^__^

Wow !! Great entires so far, again !!
I already see this one's going to be tuff to even get to the next round....
But I "love" (hahaha) the competition and the challenge

RD- I am so sorry I am answering this so late. The spider webs can be found here- http://lunasimslulamai.jimdo.com/set-cripta-vistalegre/

And the outfit is from Ambitions and i got the unlock code here- http://fuzzylogicdishwasher.blogspot.com/search/label/CAS - then I just recoloured it.

Westie- I see Akasha has already answered your question, but I so do not mind at all if you use the same CC as I am. I'm sure we'll both use it in different ways, so I say go for it and good luck!

Thanking you guys for the nice comments on my picture. It traveled a long way from where it started out in my mind. hehe

Evie- I love your poem I think it's great and i also love the expression on your model's face. Good on ya!

geez, this is hard..... At least I have my poem done and my model's outfit!

Sereni THANK YOU!!!! I don't know how I keep missing all this stuff I use to be such a CC addict. I think because things kept messing with my game I slowed way down with downloading. But I'm definitely snatching these things up. An awesome Sci-fi scene just popped into my head when I saw that outfit.

Beautiful entries so far guys! And Sereni (stealing that from RD) thank you for those links! You guys are making me pine for Ambitions more & more every frikkin' day... o_O

Aw Cel...I'd send it to you if I could!...when's your birthday?....

I just looked at the ea store, and ambitions is $10 off...

$10 off! That's so not fare T_T

I was looking in my local EB games the other and I saw TS2 games really cheap. And when I was in game traders I saw TS1 games for like $8!

You know JB HI fi does it for 37 buks on line if you call your local JB hi Fi they wil do it for the 37 dollars thats what they did for me.

Ooooo wonder if ambitions has gone down in price here too.....waiting has saved me money it seems hehe

I got mine for $50. Aussie dollars though, I hate how different countries have different currency's

Got ambitions for 20 dollars. Happy dance.

Taken pictures. Just need to select the best one for my emotional state(it's not a feeling, but a state of mind), and do small editing.

Then turn it in.

Poem isn't as good as it could be sadly. But I feel it gets the point across very easily. It's just I don't like to write in free-write. I need some rules, lest it turn into an actual story.

Emotion: Hatred
Poem:

HATRED

I feel something,
deep in my chest.
It's driving me,
on a fruitless quest.

It's cosuming,
and it won't leave.
The thoughts flowing through me,
I can barely breathe.

Simmering,
beneath the surface.
So strong it's blinding,
resistance is worthless.

No leaving,
not this emotion.
I walk out my door,
bound to start commotion.

A knife,
in my hand,
Sharper than a thousand blades,
I know exactly where I want it to land.

Coiled in my heart,
the emotions surge.
And as I stand over him,
I can't resist the urge.

Laughing,
manically in the night.
The deed is done,
and I have one the fight.

Now I feel pleasure,
that my goal has be achieved.
Where my feelings right,
or have I been decieved.

No,
I wanted this.
It was my deepest want,
I wasn't amiss.

Do you know this feeling,
that fueled my actions?
I think you do,
though in a lesser fraction.

The heat in my heart,
and the fire in my head.
Fury in my eyes,
I'm glad he's dead.

A powerful state of being,
dangerous as fate.
The things I have done,
all because of HATE.

Credit goes to. . .Me.



NOTE: Please note that hatred isn't just a feeling, it's a state of mind and loathing that lasts for a very long time, and it's an extremely dangerous, violent, state. You don't just hate, you HATE.(Meaning all or nothing.)

Aspects of the picture. The person who's back is turned, is not just a person Lysander loathes. It is Lysander. And therefore, this also shows self-hate as well. Dude is crazy, what'd you expect? And the column sorta act almost as the sides of a mirror. (See? It has me spidy-webbers)

So. . . . . .yeah.

That is AWESOME!

I did mine and have a poem, but I don't know I feel so limited in CC I feel like its going to look like everyone elses'. (Don't worry.. no spider webs)
I think I might start over later tonight

Her name was Joy

“Sitting in my room
with smile on my face.
I know the darkness.
Not going back to that place,
but the darkness follows me.
It’s part of my soul!”

“Take the needle to my skin, feel
the pain and pleasure of it all.
She looks at me tempting me,
making me feel alive. I hate her,
I love her,
I can’t live without her,
the feeling feels too good.”

“They say leave her alone, but
the pain is my addiction,
my lover, my downfall.
Without her I am nothing but a shell.
With her I‘m infamous, not even
the devil can raise this hell.

She makes feel loved, makes
me feel like I’m whole again.
Happy I am at last as world
grows cold again.”

“When all goes dark, I weep
for her like the broken hearted.
She leaves me when I
need her most. She laughs
in my face, drives me insane.
Her trickery all a little a game.”

“Wake up dying inside, feeling
the world lost to me. Don’t do
it they say, find the happines within,
but I have no soul. To have
her one more time won’t kill me.
Take her poison one last time,
feel elated, I can never die!”

“Well it’s a new day for her and me.
Something is wrong. I feel cold.
Try to wake up, but my eyes stay close.
Open them, but it’s not the same.

Kiss it all goodbye as
I watch my world fade.
She is my murderer, my killer,
lover, she is my drug.
My blessing, but my curse!
My happiness at my worse.”

“With a my smile on my face I die,
they mourn for me, but don’t cry.
For what she did for me, Joy was her name,
my addiction, my downfall, my drug,
that one last pill. Joy was her name.”


He is so happy to have that one last pill, he doesn't even see how close to death he is.

I love everyone entries so far! Mines took forever, but I'm happy with it! I can breathe a sigh of relief... till results. I hope I don't get eliminated. *crosses fingers*

Viddy I love it! Your poem gets my throat all thick(sign of tears or grief, you get what I mean), and it looks like his hand is actually reaching for the capsule.

It's great! I don't see how it could be bad!

thank u Westie! *glomps*

Ooh! More! Keep them comin guys!! :D

Wow you guys suck... I mean that in the nice way of course as in I'm totally jealous of the fact that you're all able to come up with such brilliant ideas for your emotions and you all executed them so incredibly... you suck!

Blah inspiration please find your way back to me.

lol RD.
