New question - I need a name for a weather oracle I'm making for uni.
I'm currently stuck with 'The Weather Zone', or plain and simple 'The Weather Oracle', but that's mightily boring...

Any suggestions?




Entertain me? How are you all, did you do anything interesting?
Also, feel free to critique of course.

I should be working on my three cards project for my drawing/illustration class, which is due tomorrow... YIKES.

The cards are based on a poem by Byron:

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods

There is a rapture on the lonely shore

I love not man the less, but nature more

Quit being difficult, lonely shore!

And I love the cards. What are you using? I feel that the linework on the trees are a bit on the thick side, but that's just me.

And yes, you should be working on these if they are due tomorrow. Have you been procrastinating or is school this busy?

Also, I am fine. I think I might play some Mario, but I should do school projects, too. How have you been?

I agree about the linework on the trees, it's kind of bugging me, but I really don't want to redraw them. I might see if I can change it on la photoshoppe. Thanks tho!

it's part been procrastination, part school being busy, and part having to work as well... blugh. I've got another project due on tuesday too :(

looks great too! maybe I would try to emphasize more the line, as in the second photo, the chair.

no don't. i prefer the softer one. the third is the nicest of the bunch. the stronge rline makes the first two look kind of traced. nice colours.

thanks guys! I've softened the colour of the chair lines a bit to fit in more with the others, and I made the trees a little smaller on the card...

thanks for the comments :)

thanks. I'm trying to think of a nice name for a weather oracle.

at the moment it's called -wait for it- the weather oracle. HOW ORIGINAL IS THAT!? lol

Great work, and good on you for getting it done. I'm a terrible procrastinator but I work best under pressure so I think it suits me!

boooo... I made some caramel popcorn and put it in a glass bowl.... It just cracked because of the heat. Why didn't I think of that? :/

Fantastic suggestion!

someone else suggested 'Weather or Not' and 'Weatherproof", which I also like.

French for weather forecast is la météo. For what this is worth.

I like those cards, 2nd one is best. =)
