i can resist anything except temptation

The parcel I had to arrange re-delivery of was indeed my gel plate! \o/

I have only played with it a little bit, and not done anything fancy, but I'm glad I got it. It does exactly what I want it to.

(also did you know that rose pink and medium yellow make an AMAZING orange? Like, it's nearly neon. I LOVE IT).

Anyway, I was thinking about scanning the prints I've made so I can use them in other things. I thought about using them for, I guess, digital collage. I thought that I could use the same backgrounds with different items on, and suddenly I had this weird vision of my future which I didn't hate, but which certainly made me feel odd.

(An artist I've been following for just over a year does this sort of thing. She makes pet portraits, but already has all the elements drawn on her tablet, and just puts the relevant bits together to make the portrait, and customises it a bit so it actually looks like the owner's pet. I could do this, but obviously not with pets!)

I also thought about cutting up the originals to use for collage, though I am nowhere NEAR that point yet. Also I would want to check they scanned okay first before I put my scissors anywhere near them! (I scan to memory card because my scanner can do that! so I don't know how something's scanned till I look at it on the computer).

In FFXIII news, everyone is on the Palamecia, so I guess I will be grinding for CP for a bit. You can go round in a massive loop, and the enemies respawn every time, so it's easy to do, it's just...grinding, ugh. Although I've not been having trouble with the enemies so much, so YAY.

I am unfond of the boss fight at the end of this area although, since you fight this boss more than once, this isn't even the worst version (the next one is).

ALSO. I beat the last boss in Palumpolum first time, and that NEVER happens! (Unless it did last time I played, but it was five years ago, and I can't remember).

Shoutout to Asda for having Mx. as one of the honorifics available when you fill in your details for a delivery! I thought WH Smith also do it, and they do, and I know this because I just bought some wrapping paper and a Sakura sketchbook in the sale. For reference: I do not need either of things.

I really absolutely do NOT need the sketchbook, as noted in the last post wrt sketchbooks, but it was £2 off, and I am weak! Also it's the perfect size for throwing in my rucksack and then never using!
