Don't you think?

Wait. Ask yourself this question: Think what?

My answer: That "Forget" is a harsh word.

My answer take-two: DON'T you go thinking that I forgot about SMA. Cuz I haven't.

In fact, my perfectionist behavior has me stressing over some details and causing a large gap between submission times. And since I hate reporting or posting a journal with nothing significant to show....

But here's some of what I've been working on:

(For some of you, this will look familiar, as it's ripped from my own journal ^_^ )


Uniform sketches
~ Uniforms will be designed for two seasons: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. All together, the uniforms will include: Vest, Blazer, Pants, Skirt, Long-sleeve collar shirt, Short-sleeve collar shirt, Tie, Stockings, Shoes.

My progress with this project includes these sketches: [link] and [link]

I've taken those images and am constructing a "Principal's Letter of Academy Attire" with all the details of how a student at Shinsei na Mori Academy is expected to dress.

Inspiration for the SMA uniform is derived mostly from NEGIMA. XD

Dorm blueprint
~ I'm still in the process of designing the boy and girl dormitories of the Academy. If anybody has any architectural experience, please feel free to assist me. XD

Dorm room assignments
~ Once I've assigned the room, the student can decorate her "square" however he/she wishes. I imagine that this is going to one of the most fun (and simple!) projects. It's pretty much like me giving you a piece of paper with a square on it and telling you to decorate it however you want. It's up to you where you want your character's bed, dresser, posters, computer, etc to go. ^_^

Class seating assignments
~ Again, a NEGIMA inspiration.

Homeroom teacher bio/pic
~ Alright. So this is to be included in that one part of our journal navigation bar.

So far, I've created the following teachers:
English/Drama
Art
History
Sports
Science
Computer Tech
Auto Tech
Math

I've done details sketches of the following:

English/Drama > [link]
~ She's got a bit of a split personality. In the classroom, she's calm and motherly. However, on stage, she becomes a drama queen and quite unpredictable. Hence, the go-go boots. XD
Note: This is the homeroom teacher. As you can see, I'm needing a name for her. Any ideas?

Art >[link]
~ Very perky and sometimes spacey, this teacher has an eclectic dressing style as well as a twin!

Auto Tech > Pic Not Available
~ Quite the tomboy, this teacher is young and enthusiastic about anything that has to do with tools, beer, and food. Also, she's the twin sister of the Art teacher.

As for our school staff, the Principal is still a mystery.
But I'm thinking of including TWO vice-principals. One will be a balding middle-aged man that gripes alot and thinks he's above the student body and staff. The other will be a relatively young, very handsome man that gets along well with the students (mostly because all the girls crush on him!) and staff. Other than that, that's all I know about him so I guess he's a bit of a mystery too...Wouldn't it be twisted if he ended up having no experience as a teacher or being a convicted sex offender or leads a double life or something like that?

Hmm. That reminds me. Some of the profiles for the teachers are halfway completed. I'm just missing a few details, so I might hold polls or contests in which I ask YOU what the background of a certain teacher should be.


School/Campus Blueprint
~ The teachers of SMA will be stationary. That means that the students will be traveling from one class to another. Locker areas need to be established as well as class locations. For now, however, students will only be confined to their homeroom class.

Teacher Cheat Sheet/Yearbook Page
For this project, I need bust shots of each student as well as certain information. More on this to follow.


Hmm..I think that's about it.
As you can see, our navi bar is temporarily gone That's my bad, folks. I still have to pay for the subbie.
