Opposite change (For Kyra)

Hi gals as you may know is way too late in Spain right now. If you don't know that well. Let's say is around 2:00 AM but I don't have a desire to sleep without releasing this, I'm sure, awaited cap.

So without further addo...

Enjoy it!

I'm also sure that by now, you noticed that I'm an university student. So with very much regret I have to tell you that this is going to be the last one for now (probably) Until late June. And I mean it this time. Finals are coming and they are coming hard, due to so much skipped classes because of strikes, festivities, and other stuff happening around my university :$


So I hope you have enjoyed everything so far, that you keep watching me if you are new or revisit whatever from here as I cannot go on for now. I hope you can understand this :)

Two photomanips and my new glasses

Hi gals today I cannot bring you a caption yet. I don't have much time and also I forgot to post this over here:

This last thursday I went on a visit to the ophthalmologist to check my vision, because I started to lose acuteness on it. I posted this on Tumblr, but forgot to post it here. Sorry!

“Got new glasses today… it seems I was using half of my vision with the previous one. A visit to the ophthalmologist paid off and so I’m wearing my new perfect red glasses :) I still need to wait for the effect of the collyrium to wear off, but I got my vision back! :D

Seriously because I was starting to go out like this @_@

Hugs and Kisses Alectra”

Ouh I've been prescribed Collyrium for the rest of my life! Yeah another thing to my chronic list! 

What I can really show is two photomanips I did this week while I was on vacation time. One is done for a Story to Kyra and the other is for Tera of Hypnopics Collective or you can also reach her in here:  http://terasuccubi.tumblr.com/  or here:  http://www.succubus.net/blog/

I would love to go into much more details about the process, but my vision won't hold that much words and I must say that the images should be self explanatory. It's not like I've done something that big! :P

Anyway here are the two photomanips done:

To Kyra:

                                   

To Tera:

   

And that's it!

If by any means you are a Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro expert or in training like me feel free to post your own conclusions :)

The Curse (Light and Dark Version)

Hi gals, today I bring you a cap with two stories. As undecided I turn out to be, I felt that I needed to do this in both ways. To the evil characters out there and to the loving ones too!


The Curse: Light Version

The Curse: Dark Version

Personally I like the first one and no, no I haven't been kidnap and taken to lovely land :)

So enjoy!

Alectra's appreciation day

Hi gals, today I don't bring you a caption but hopefully stories to tell, criticism on myself and my ever changing mood. So if you don't feel like taking this travel with me, pass along, the next post surely will contain a gorgeous caption.


Let me start from the beginning...


First I've been meaning to say this. Lately I don't feel much appreciated at all around me. Probably it just depression reaching to me or an uneventful truth. I mean, I don't feel love, I don't feel someone reaching to me and saying: -"Its okay, I care for you, don't worry. Everything will turn out for the better."-


No, not at all. Instead I get bad news, jeopardizing my situation in the university. I don't know if I'm going to be able to pay a bigger sum of what already I have to pay. from 32€ to 100€ its a big deal to me right now. Not to say that if I don't get another scholarship I'll have to pay something around 1400€ ouh and my brother will enter university too, so depending on the case. Worst case scenario only one will enter university...


Yeah that's how things are turning out for my country. My government, is lead by a bunch of souless people making decrees each day!. Yeah you read it right, each day. To make more cuts, as the situation is getting worse and worse. But the culprits won't pay. Here's the funny from a decree of this government debtors won't pay anything back to the department of finance. Ouh well, yes only a 10% of what they have... guess what? These people are jeopardizing the situation of Spain. You got the big business players, from famous sportmens not a paying a single euro to the state. Very funny... Guess the sum? 60.000 millions of euros. Now the debt of Spain 80.000 millions of euros?! something is clearly wrong in here.


And what we got? People saying how bad the socialists did in the last elections, and how good the conservatives PP party would do... an even saying they are the same, while they are not.


These very same people, didn't vote and clearly derived their wrong ideas to the rest of the country... 


At this very moment I need a hug, but not only that, I want someone to smile for me, but not only that, I want someone to reach out to me and say: -"Hey, don't worry, everything is going to be alright"-


After this little rant I'll express what I'm passing through psychologically speaking:


Now, I don't know if I'm making Alectra coming out more or what. But I clearly expressed to my Anthropology professor that I need to know more about the differences of women and men. As a feminist, my professor is proud of the idea there is no such a convention. This is all made up to make inequalities grow more. And she's right, probably now that I'm more in Synch with my feminine side, I'm getting to know the differences that we in our society express. So for that, in June I'll get to know more about this subject thanks to my professor and hopefully I'll create better stories and grow up more as a person. Obviously that part is only for my online side, I'm not expressing that out loud, but I clearly see, my professor is making her own idea of my behaviour at all levels in class.


Another point I wanted to bring today is my growth for that very same matter expressed before.


Today I felt that a lovely angry lot was hitting on my doorstep. Comedy for you, but an idea for me:


-"So whatz upppp with yu and sup tis matter about gettin' depress or wutz? Gizzzz mooaaaar"-


- A lovely monster reach for his inadequately educated companion and begins to translate what he said -


-"Allow me to say, what he obviously couldn't: He want more captions, perhaps with sex involved"-


- A bunch of grown ups reach to him and crown him as the speaker while making a cute mass of his body... quite the mess -


- Tis need more captzzzzz, mooooooooooooooarrrrrrr, boooooooty, moooooooooar cocks... Cocks noooooo, moaaaaaaaaaaaaar cunts... -


- Needless to say they also make a lovely mass of bones from the "stupid" one -


So what's with the story? Nothing, just my head trying to cheer me up with nonsense...


A bit of critique to me:


This was my first caption:


So you have to start over somewhere and I can say its not bad at all for a starter, but it wasn't good enough for me so I have to advance. What this caption lacked: Style, proper writing, punctuation, better phrases, adecuate fonts. Really Comic Life just make life easier for you... a bit too much and you start to lack where you shouldn't. Language barrier also... 

This was my last caption without help:


After two an a half year, improvements are quite noticeable. Made with another program yes, but much more consistent in both style and writing. This is clearly what other notice as an Alectra cap. Good taste in choice of imagery, great backstory, imaginative and unique use of words and ultimately enticing and teasing. The language barrier is still there, but with holes on it. Even if tiny, but holes trying to make it crumble. 

And this was my last caption with proofreading:

 Not much to say from before, but with little improvements and having Kyra as a proofreader it does help to make it shine, more than ever. And for that I'm very grateful. The story is much more consistent and the plot don't fall over a huge pletorah of ramblings!






I even got a huge compliment from Caitlyn, so that's means a lot to me!.




Alectra's style:pointers on how to do a caption

If you want you can take a look at my pointers on how to do a cap.


Okay enough of praise, I said I wanted to critique myself, so I'll put points on which I'll try to work on, hopefully something will come out of this.


- I feel like I travelled a long way, and still has to go another long one in an unending road filled with stalemates and barriers, walls, earthquakes, gaps and holes to make my journey more difficult. but still even with the improvement made, I lack the writing, I lack the powerful nature of a well endowed word working alongside a good sentence and making feasible a paragraph that would make a grand story!. Not only in English but in Spanish too... for that, what I said.


- I need to be less wordy. Nuff said


- I should know whether to complicate the writing or simplify it. I'm usually too much fond of a grand use of aesthetical words.


- I need to imagine and create better backgrounds and choose the right selection of fonts, make myself an army of them if needed.


- I feel the need to come up with a basic of where to put the text over and if I need to put a gradient to make the writing more readable.


- I usually double check, triple check and more?! to be ever vigilant of typos, those pesky maniacs not wanting to behave and put sand over a shining prhase.


- I want to keep making myself better at it. I want to wrap you into my stories and demand more.


- I want to explore more fetishes, not only of latex lives the woman!.


- I want to create better plots, the whole bad mistress and frisky girl is amusing but I'm growing tired of doing dark storylines. I want to explore realism, so for that I need to know more of what my professor will gladly provide me.


- I want to express emotions that I can feel deep within me and reach to you better.


- I want to keep exploring fonts, styles, plots, subplots and such.


- I want to know better how a woman behaves, so that way I can express women behaviour with almost anything.


- Smut? Not sure on that, free sex, is free sex. I think I'm better at enticing people with suggestible images rather than a huge scene of a big cock getting emtrampled inside a pussy while you can pick a woman moaning from the ram she is enduring. Like I said better not!.


- I want to be more responsive to what others create for me, so that way I can depict better scenarios for them.


Once again, these wouldn't be possible if not for the help I've been obtaining along the way. So thank you for that. Probably in the future I'll try my hand at Photoshop, and the day I'm able to comprehend it, my caps will reach a new level.


After all this huge post. I feel the need to create or someone to create for me an Alectra's appreciation day. I want to feel cared and I want to know that I'm cared for. I want to know that I touched people's lives, that I changed somehow their behaviour, that I made their day. Whether through my stories or by having a good chat. I want to make a great impression and I want to feel needed. I want Alectra's strength coming back to me, because she is my way to express myself freely. 


I need a hug...

And I want to create a story out of this pic, because I feel it pretty much summarize what I feel right now...


Hugs and Kisses Alectra


P.S: Like many are doing now and to keep sanity at bay. I changed the reactions to like or love it. To know if you just like it or need more of it whit a love option.

Enie, meanie girl

Hi gals, today I bring a cap with a story I promised long ago :)

I hope you enjoy what I've done for today. As I don't have much time to go into a blabbery frenzy, studies ahead you know. I'll only say that this introduces Calliope as a frisky girl, but we'll see! :)


Hugs and Kisses Alectra


P.S: Noticed a mistake on readibility, changed and edited :)

The Feminator (Ad Caption campaign)

Hi gals, no, no, no this is not a campaign as the title suggest. This is a preview of a caption I'm working on :D


Recently I had a conversation on medical care with a friend of the university, and we talked about how medics from my country gives you Ibuprofen for about anything you have, and well almost any medicine have a component of Ibuprofen in its formula. The pill of the future, or so called it the brits! You got brits for everything these days *giggle*


Anyway...


Working on that Idea and since we talk stuff sometimes about feminity in our captions, I had the idea of changing Ibuprofen to Feminofren as it would be a pill that medics give you by going to the hospital. Like that would happen! heh heh heh


And another thing:


made, crafted, enveloped: I know it sounds redundant, but that's on porpuse. Made for making the idea, crafted for creating the pill and enveloped for putting it in a box. But maybe this wouldn't be understand at all, if not explained :P

Enjoy it!

A bit Caitlyniesque but, I like the format :P

Thanks to my lovely friend Kyra for proofreading my caps. I hope we can bounce something good from this collaboration and possible more ideas for both ends :)

Pizzicato for Strings

Hey gals, how are you doing?


Today I bring you a cap, that I was experimenting with, so you tell me at the end which one you like :)


Recently I downloaded a pack of fonts, to make it more visually appealing the reading, and talking about that... I think I would love someone who would endure my writings, to proofread them... I know maybe it just much too ask, but anyway I try to make for a better reading with each one!.


Here I present you the original cap:

So well the usual from me in a non-creative day, apart from the new fonts. Which I'm still experimenting nothing new.


And then while listening to this kind of old music. I mean the pizzicato for strings, It's a thing you won't hear over modern music (unless you go for jazz or electronic music that's it!). Its a technique that consist of plucking the strings from a string instrument. Little by little making squeaking sounds or that depends of the tempo and it produces a timbre that is called inharmonicity because the sound doesn't belong to harmonic series and after the string is bowed it returns quickly to the harmonic ratio. Producing a marvelous sound. It's a cool technique that you won't hear it unless you are listening to Johann Strauss or Bach or the above said :)


To the topic. When I found that well, the woman is playing the instrument, she is also talking about using that instrument to enthrall someone... so maybe the violin should appear it behind. 

And I said... well why not the notes? Yes that's my head working. The only thing that I don't like about this, is that maybe would make a bit for a hard reading... nonetheless, it's perfect, because she could be talking about an ancient score an the paper does demonstrate it!.

Anyway this was my other choice.

And finally, the one I like the most, you have the musical score a bit more obscure to make for a better readibilty and the strings from the violin used to accompany the title.

Hope you have enjoyed an interesting journey to my head...


I think this is the first time that I encountered I could do a bit more of work behind the scenes for the cap. Have you ever encountered if you are a captioner, such a dilemma? Or if you are not a captioner... do you care about it, or just go for the story?
