Second Break

[soc_puppet]

We've made it to Break Two!

For everyone following along with the Medium or Minimum Tracks, congratulations! You've reached a stopping point. If you want to start a new mood theme or keep going with one you're already working on, those are both great options, but so is sitting back and basking in the glow of what you've accomplished.

If you're following along with the Maximum Track, we're a little short of a third done as yet, but this is some major progress! This is a good time to start uploading some of your images, if you haven't already.

Now's also a good time to go back for any moods you've missed. Or maybe you want to re-do a few. Or perhaps you want to get ahead of some future moods? All good options!

While you can share completed moods at any time, this is also a good time to do that, with no official moods to work on this week.

Whether you do any of the above, or spend the next week just resting, I hope you've been having a good time at Mood Theme in a Year. Let's talk about it!

well , kossai never really follow along properly from start ... just circumstance ! end up on dreamwidth after closure of cohost , total stranger give gift of paid time , and rush into as many moods as possible to fill out basic theme .
... which , actually , was not that many . now that have several months of use with this mood theme , notice some pretty big holes in expression , and way too many moods ( for personal taste ) that do not have any differentiation .
so decide this past month to chip away at those moods - even minor differentiation is better than none - and get down to only 17 left ! :D

this is really fun project , if sometimes slight frustration . think maybe after some rest , could be fun to put together some kind of faerie theme for public use ... and maybe follow along at more reasonable pace . plenty of choices to make there , though - full body faeries that allow for wings might not have much room to detail faces , for example , when this mood theme is ... pretty much entirely face , hehehe !

It's really only a suggested schedule for anyone who wants the structure; I honestly think it's pretty cool that you joined in how you did! Now (and with your permission), if anyone else is interested in joining the community but doesn't want to follow the schedule, I can tell them about another member who did exactly that!

Aaaaahh, 17 moods is so close! I'm rooting for you!

Oof, I completely relate; so many moods are so close to each other, and some of them are just like... What? Why is this even in here? But a fairy mood theme sounds like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to what you come up with 😃

hehehe , fair enough - and yes , no trouble !

yes ! have some more after that which might still touch up , might even switch some little things around , but current list is : cheerful , good , pleased , calm , satisfied , content , relieved , complacent , blah , lazy , lethargic , morose , sympathetic , envious , sick , thirsty , and distressed .
most of these give trouble , but here and there little ideas come to mind ... morose will be most important of these to finish - everything else is unsure , but would still really love to get there .

hehe ! will have to also decide how to design this faerie ... in world of endless time and energy , would be nice to make several full theme variations to account for variety of skin and hair , but this is not that world unfortunately . will surely figure out something , though - appreciate cheers ! :D
