[turtle-children-chat]

Welcome to the chat

Lee: the invitations have been sent?

Pixel: they have. Now we just wait for others to respond to them.

Lee: but what if none of them want to be friends?

Pixel: Im sure that wont be the case Lee. However I am unsure how well father's plan will go.

Lee: but dad's really smart!

Pixel: he may be smart but uncle Leo was the best at plans from the recordings father has saved.

Lee: oh! I think some are getting on

Pixel: welcome to the interdimentional turtle children chat. In each of our respective universes most of us (at the very least) are the children to one of four turtles: Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael, or Michlangelo. This chat was made as a way for us to all make friends across the multiverse. I myself wont be speaking too often as I will be moderating the chat to make sure everything works smoothly. Please introduce yourselves if you wish. If you want you may change your username to something that isnt either "user-number" or your name.

Principles of Design

Unity & Variety

My personal understanding of unity is the harmony of an art piece. The view of calmness and a simple feeling.

Fruit Displayed on a Stand (c. 1881) by Gustave Caillebotte is an example of unity with shape and form.

Variety is more adding different shapes, size, and colors. Creating a diversity of these elements of variety.

Orchard in Blossom part of series Flowering Orchards (c.1888) Vincent Van Gogh showing variety with complementary colors (red and green) and jagged lines as the branches.

Balance (Symmetrical & Asymmetrical)

Oriental Poppies (c.1928) Georgia O'Keeffe displays symmetrical balance as both sides are nearly matching one another.

Asymmetrical Balance

Self-portrait with a model (c.1896) Anders Zorn shows asymmetrical balance with light tones on the bottom left side and dark tones in the middle/ top right corner. Also positioning himself as the focal point and the light tones coming off the models legs.

Emphasis & Subordination

The Swing also known as The happy Accidents of the Swing (c.1767) Jean-Honoré Fragonard, strongly shows emphasis has the lady on the swing is the main focal point and the strong contrast of darker colors behind her and the lighter colors in front of her. Along with the pink capturing the main focus.

(This is one of my favorite paintings I've ever discovered because of the colors and the level of detail and just the overall beauty of the painting)

Subordination

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus (c.1560) Pieter Bruegel the Elder shows subordination because we are first drawn to the man in red and then following the horse to the tree and onwards to the ocean and ship. You then notice legs disappearing into the water.

Directional Forces

The Storm of the Sea of Galilee (c.1633) Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (otherwise known as Rembrant) is showing directional force by the line of the main post of the ship being the focal point and the ship being lifted up by a wave and into the light. The look of harsh wind with the water spraying back and the sail going against the win.

Repetition & Rhythm

An Homage to Monopink 1960 (c.2011) Takashi Murakami

Showing Repetition with the recurring visual elements of flowers with smiley faces on them.

Rhythm

The Great Wave of Kanagawa (c.1831) Hokusai

A very well known painting showing a great deal of rhythm with the wave hovering over 3 boats and the water behind them pulling them into the wave itself.

Scale & Proportion

David (c.1501-1504) Michlangelo

David represents scale by being 17ft tall. The first massive statue created out of Carrara marble. This is also prefect proportion because of the accuracy of human features.

[hjertetssunnegalskap1]

Okay this is self indulgent but I just wanted to post bigger/ brighter versions of my painting of David and Matteo (and David and San Matteo by Michlangelo).The lighting is better in these images, but it also makes my sloppiness/ mistakes more visible. Oh well.

Vampire leo stuff ibtorducing a new charater

----

Leo was tense eyes glancing around. The alley way was off tonight. The usual things were still there. Trash rats the occasonal person in them for one reason or another. Yet something felt diffrent.

He whipped around and caught the small rock that had been lazily tossed at him. Glancing up he well he would have had a heart attack right then and there. On the roof was a near perfect replica of his younger brother at 13. Near percect because the kid was wearing diffrent clothes admidedly. Still leo went up there.

"Umm hi. I uh heard about you while wandering around and just um..." the kid rubbed his arm and leo rose an eye ridge. "You may need to keep an eye on the human youre with. Theres a pretty nasty fae going around just grabbing humans and well mutateing them."

"Alright thanks for telling me. What fo you go by?" Leo asked the kid blinked.

"No what is your name? Most people ask that."

"Most people dont realize when they end up talking to fae." Leo shrugged

"Was I that obvious? But uh I dont have a name." Leo was wondering who the fuck didnt name their kids admidedly.

"Kinda you look like a near perfect copy of my younger brother when he was 13 and hes been dead for a few hundred years at this point." Leo rubbed his neck a bit. "Why dont you have a name dont fae name their kids?"

"Not if their changelings. We only get the names of someone were switched with at birth and I was never switched with anyone" Ok there was some bitterness there. The changeling then perked up. "What was you brother's name?"

"...Michlangelo though we just called him Mikey" Leo hesitated for a moment. He had a feeling what the fae was doing. At the same time his brothers have all been dead for years.

"Then Ill go by Mikey since the form I took apparently looks like your brother." Leo then was hugged by the fae and his brain was trying to comprhend how this fae was able to have the same kind of hug as his brother.
