Urban Legends. Humans can lick too

Once there was a  beautiful young girl who lived in a small town just south of Farmersburg. Her parents had to go to town for a while, so they left their daughter home alone, but protected by her dog, which was a very large collie. The parents told the girl to lock all the windows and doors after they had left. And at about 8:00pm the parents went to town. So doing what she was told the girl shut and locked every window and every door. But there was one window in the basement that would not close completely.

Trying as best as she could she finally got the window shut, but it would not lock. So she left the window, and went back upstairs. But just to make sure that no one could get in, she put the dead-bolt lock on the basement door.

 This girl sat down and had some dinner and decided to go to sleep for the night. Settling down to sleep at about 12:00 she snuggled up with the dog and fell asleep.

But at one point, she suddenly woke up. She turned and looked at the clock...it was 2:30. She snuggled down again wondering what had woken her.....when she heard a noise. It was a dripping sound. She thought that she had left the water running, and now it was dripping into the drain of her sink. So thinking it was no big deal she decided to go back to sleep.

But she felt nervous so she reached her hand over the edge of her bed, and let the dog lick her hand for reassurance that he would protect her. Again at about 3:45 she woke up hearing dripping. She was slightly angry now but went back to sleep anyway. Again she reached down and let the dog lick her hand. Then she fell back to sleep.

At 6:52 the girl decided that she had had enough...she got up just in time to see her parents were pulling up to the house. "Good, "she thought. "Now somebody can fix the sink...'cause I know I didn't leave it running." She walked to the bathroom and there was the collie dog, skinned and hung up on the curtain rod. The noise she heard was its blood dripping into a puddle on the floor. The girl screamed and ran to her bedroom to get a weapon, in case someone was still in the house.....and there on the floor, next to her bed she saw a small note, written in blood, saying: HUMANS CAN LICK TOO.

More Detail N Extra

Demons Coming

A couple of drawings of a demon coming out of a portal that leads to Hell or the Nether Realm as stated from previous blog.


Story Boards

Both before and after I made my set design I had to draw a story board so I would know and have guidelines about my story and characters like how the story starts and all the things that happen in between like how my main character the joker goes crazy and kills a load of hunters that start hunting in his woods where he is working at a carnival, ultimately ending in demonic powers and opening a portal to the Nether Realm or Hell...

Tree Drawings

 When I first started this course I wanted to make a set and background that was in or revolved around the woods so in order to do this I needed to research about trees and woods, forest etc.;. I also needed to draw trees for my story board which is why I practised first to improve and get better and expand my knowledge of the woodland life.

Rock N Roll Tongue

My first time drawing the classic rock and roll mouth with the tongue sticking out and I think that it went very well to say I had never drawn it before all thanks to wiki how.

3D Figure Set Design .5

My trees that I built using grey board, wire and wire frame, tissue paper, glue and cello tape. I wanted to go for a slim kind of tree but that had bushy and wild leaves. In order to stop them from falling down I used blue tack on the bottom and  a mixture of both blue tack and cello tape on the leaves to stick them to sides.

3D Visual Language/Evaluation

What I Did

In the last 3 months I have been working on 3d visual language, communication, primary and secondary colours, 3d representation and arrange of elements.

Health N Safety

In the heath and safety sides of things there was a numourus amount of thing s to follow so no one and myself would get hurt 8in the process. Like when I was using wire and wire cutters for the strucher of my model I had to use builders gloves so I wouldn't cut my self but I also to be careful that small amounts of wire wouldn't fly off and hurt other people like it going in there eyes and just cutting in general. To stop loose bits of wire going in my own eyes I would use plastic goggles to keep them safe. I also used rubber gloves when I was using mod rock so I wouldn't get dust in my cuts and so it wouldn't stick and dry to me which would hurt to remove.

Visual Language Used

 3D visual language consists of many elements and principles. The elements are like the alphabet of the visual world and they create the principles.
 
The Elements Are :  
                                   
Line
Colour
Space
Texture 
Shape
Value
Form
 
The Principles Are:
 
Unity/Harmony
Rhythm 
Variety 
Movement 
Balance
Patten
Gradation 
Proportion 
Emphasis 
                                                                           

The Technique's Used

Plaster cein, grey board, cello tape, masting type, double sided tape, plaster bandage, casting objects, scissors, wire and wire cutters, glue, casting,  measurements for board, set design and art work in side the set.

How Well I Worked

How well I did I in my opinion was very good I was able to complete all of my work that was both given and needed as well as extra work on the side. I put 100% into every thing that I did even though it wasn't easy at times. Even when I ran out of martials I managed to find new ones even if that meant borrowing without returning so over all it went well.

What Can I Improve

The thing that I could probably do with improves is my abilty to draw and make/build tress well at least really good ones.

Cybeer Bullying

We were asked to researched about cyber bullying which meant gathering pictures and researching into detail about it like the effects and the different way of cyber bullying. All the research that I gathered was then used in a poster and a double sided leaflet card with drawings as well relating to bullying. There's also a new film on channel 4 called Cyber Bully which is worth the watch.
