My Edits #8 :) & Stuff


Hey Guys! It's been more than a month since I did a post on my fan art. So here it is. Not only photoshop stuff... but I have more on this post... scroll down to see.
Anyway, we'll start with fan art.

This is a Facebook cover I created for myself with all my fandoms. I especially like the way Taylor turned out, since she seems like a hero she is, standing like that. I wish Star Wars would have a bigger space but there's none. Harry Potter turned out well; I like the deathly hallows tied together with my favorite heartbreaking Hogwarts scene. Hunger Games and LOTR was pretty good too.

I never did a tribute to them, and one day I found a lovely eye one Facebook that reminded me of Tahl's green and gold striped eyes. I wish I did Qui-Gon's more carefully. The star background was really awesome for me, so I just wanted to use it in something and this seemed like a perfect choice.

Nothing much to say about this. I named it Wrath of the Past. The zooming gave me a headache, but on the other hand it did deliver a nice effect. Vader would look better in the middle but I don't know exactly how to put it without messing it all up.

*Suppress urge to scream* THEM. THEM. THEM! THE PERFECT FATHER AND SON COUPLE OH MY GOSH THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER! EEP! Okay, now that I got that all out... I was fangirling about the Hobbit and I found this very erm... hot picture of Thranduil and he was Legolas's perfect father! Voronda, you can have him but Legolas will always be mines. *cough*
So... yeah. I made this picture out of excitement.

When I was small I slept with a tweety doll. It was my best friend because it was silent and it seemed to understand everything I said. And it was so CUDDLY. I still have it. This and Legolas is the only thing that was a girly part of me. So anyway, I suddenly remembered this so I did an edit of it, considering that it's real easy to make because of the background that's so easy to crop.

I was playing around with photoshop and this is what I got. I added "Always" which is my favorite word since it means a lot in many of my fandoms.

Below are Taylor Swift fan art... and the Stuff.

This one has sparkles like the previous piece... I played around with it a bit. 


I was playing with photoshop shadows and I saw a nice picture of Taylor Swift- easy to cut out, fairy looking, etc. I wish I refined the edge more though.

After seeing Legolas fade to black and playing with the burn tool, I got this.

I decided to take it one step further and make this.

And even one more step further. This may be my favorite.

I made this for a friend's timeline. Didn't turn out how I expected though.


~~Now~~


It came out! Her new album just came out! I've been waiting like forever for her new songs and I looked at every youtube video and FINALLY it's here!!!

Swifties: Speak now, Stay Fearless, and Love Red!!!

I'm crazy on GIFS now.

Love her!

I was like that

And now I'm going like that.

And that.

And when people look at me weird, I go like that.



Because I feel like this.

And this.

And this.

And now every Swiftie that hears my story would be like this. I'm wearing a red T-shirt (actually a Harry Potter one) to celebrate it.

And that

And that

I feel like singing this, even though I never had a boyfriend, I feel this carefree.















Other gifs just to celebrate...

You Belong With me- Sang that for school show.

Safe and Sound- Hunger Games.

Both of us- I love this song. I found out I can rap with this.














Sad Song: Ronan... Below 






And in the end of the day I'd be like that.



Those of you who aren't big fans of her I hope you're not going like...

Don't worry, there's another thing to celebrate!

Happy Birthday to our dear Princess Leia!!!





















Anyway... this post is getting too long... so bye!



And till next time... May the Force be ever in your favor!

Soft War Review


I have mixed feelings about this episode but overall I think it was pretty good. There's a great balance of everything. So, here goes. Possible spoilers ahead.

First of all I'd like to congratulate the Clone Wars team for pulling off this episode really well. The animation was really well done; I love the cloaks, especially Ahsoka's. Saw's one before he left to help the king was a bit stiff though. However, that was forgotten when he climbed up that building. Also, the haunting music really fits in with the scenes.

More plot development would be great, but this is still awesome and I enjoyed it. I loved how it started off with action, specifically. Then there is some things to think about too; like the Seperatists calling the rebels terrorists, and people calling them freedom fighters. It's like viewing the cup as half full or empty, and I like pondering on what is black, what is white, and what is a shade of grey. 

The whole idea is really cool, even if it has been used many times before. As the king said, it's not only about fighting, but it's about having the spirit to fight. I wonder how they would win the people's spirit even more. It seemed as if the population is already ready for a fight from the way they reacted to the failed execution, even though I'd love them to act a bit sooner.

That was my favorite part, for the suspense was really high. I thought they'd have a more... sophisticated way to kill someone though. I like the turn of events and the traitor turned traitor of the other side and not the traitor of the rebels anymore (ahhh that's nerve cracking) is actually on my "like" list.

Saw's character is starting to grow on me. He's too brash for my liking, but he's tough and I respect him for that. Lux is... just Lux. Ahsoka is more mature, and I like to see her as the season progresses. She's certainly becoming stronger both physically and spiritually. I like to see her have one shining moment to herself, even though she keeps it as long as possible like the council orders. The scene at the end was really meaningful and I want to see more of that. Maybe Luxoka would grow more, not to my liking or against it though, since Steela also said she didn't like Lux looking at her like that. After that scene, her eyes was a bit strange, which gave me a second of the wildest thought- that's she's a traitor- but that was quickly gone.

One thing the episode lacks is Steela's and Saw's talk from last time. We saw Saw go off and Steela going after him, and I wonder how it all went. I would like to see more of Saw's character development too. The small scene of Anakin and Obi-Wan should add more to the plot in my opinion.

Anyway, I'd give this episode an 8.5/10. I look forward to the next episode, and after that hopefully we'll be able to see how Rush Clovis and Padme gets tied in with Maul. So until next time... May the Force be with you!
