WARDED TO THE SENIOR CLASS:

Hey guys! I was waiting for a quiet weekend to post this, but honestly I'm not sure we're going to get one of those between now and the end of term, so here it goes.

In December I started working on a new senior project, and it's been coming along really well! I'm making oil paintings of each of the house campsites (if you've seen me lurking around Coppertale and Ebonhide recently with my sketchbook, that's what I've been doing). Now that I've started enchanting them I decided that I'd like to paint each of us in as well, just so we're wandering around and having campfires and doing all the things we've done at our campsites for the last four years.

Soooo if you guys wouldn't mind modeling for me it'd be a huge help. If you don't want to be included or you just don't have time, that's fine! Just let me know. But I'd like to get everybody if I can.

I don't want to monopolize the aesthetics classroom during class time, so here's a list of times I'm free. It'll probably take me about an hour.

Tuesdays & Wednesdays in the 2-3PM hour.
Thursdays after lunch (I can also do before lunch in the 11-12 hour, but I usually sit in on junior animagus studies).
Fridays 11-12 or after class if we don't have bonding!
Anytime on the weekends.
If you're not free outside of class, we can do it during aesthetics - that's Mondays/Wednesdays 10-11AM.

Thanks everyone!

P.S. How are your senior projects going? I know a few other people were considering starting over.

Alright, let's see.

[Quinn writes and a list of steps like 'Assess needs' and 'Research appropriate materials.' There's a lot of rearranging, crossing out, and arrows. After a few minutes, the three key phases are outlined: 'Research,' 'Prototype,' and 'Production.' The sub-lists are... too long and maybe a little over-ambitious. But don't worry fam, she's got this.]

I'm at [...] phase 2.8/3.3. It's the one where I set dummies on fire and make them melt in the Artificing shed. It's a good phase.

	That is suitably complete for February 18. You have the Templeton Seal of Approval. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beautiful seal, you always know what to say. ♥ The dummies and my prototypes. [...] I'm trying to make them relatively jinx- and hex-proof because they've already got shrinking charms on them, and if someone was knocked with one then the kit could expand and cause very personal, and very painful, mayhem. [...] It's been a process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well do let me know if I can help at all! Even if it's just by throwing hexes at a dummy. That sounds like a good way to unwind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Seniors qnnc 2017-02-18 05:29 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, Ivy! The hexes are one of the more enjoyable parts of my project. [...] McBride and I have been working dance moves in with the hexes, though, so you'd have to play by our rules if you lent a hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know if I should subject anyone to my dance skills. [...] Actually, make that "dance skills". It deserves the scare quotes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
