hello shadowplay ! ♡

my name is laurane and i goes by asphorea, but you can call me whatever you want (laurane, laura, laurette, lara, asphorea, aspho... you can be creative i dont mind lmao). i'm 18 and i live in France so let me apologize for all the future mistakes i'll be making ahah i'm still learning how to speak English properly.

i have to admit that i'm a little lost here because hey, it looks like a big family, but i am excited to join you all. i got here mainly to improve my graphics and especially using real people. on french platforms, i only ever photoshop anime stocks but i wanted a change so here i am to try new things! as a matter of fact, the avatar & signature i'm using are the first tries i've made at photoshoping celebrities (melanie martinez ♥♥) like one hour ago ahah. i still have lots of things to learn but from what i've seen, there's so much talent here, maybe i will be able to steal some from you lmao

hmmm if i ever say something improper to you, be sure to tell me because i know for a fact that there are some things considered normal in France that are not in other countries.

about myself well, i love tv shows (like seriously, these things occupy most of my time) and especially orphan black, the 100 (even tho that last season was crap i'm still super sad over that), how to get away with murder, game of thrones, the leftovers and so much more. i'm going to med school in a few months so you're probably never going to see me again starting from september because med school in France is one of the hardest things ever that implies you do not have any life for two years. i enjoy reading, drinking tea, flowers, rythm games, writing and many more things. and i have this weird obsession for harry potter but i know i am not the only one so i guess that makes it more or less okay ahah. however, you probably saw that i dislike capital letters ahah, sorry if that bothers you. (#aesthetic)(i'm superficial)

i have no idea how to continue this introduction soooo if you have any question, feel free to ask and i'll happily answer them.

Hi Laurane! I'm Mari and welcome to Shadowplay. <3 And your english is perfectly okay! :> Je suis terrible français mais je connais un peu de l'université. Hah! How terrible is that.

We are, indeed, a big family but you're part of it now! <33 Ahh, Melanie Martinez is love! (I love her so much; but her song Mrs. Potato Head is brilliant). But your first attempt is amazing!. Oh no no, maybe I will be the one that steals from your skills ;) Check out our challenges, resources, and tutorials board and it will surely help you <3 YES, TV SHOWS ARE LOVE. They're actually my life and I might die binge-watching them. But Oprhan Black, HTGAWM, GoT are some of my favorites too!

Ah, med school is really hard even in other countries. It does deprive you of social life and sanity. I have a friend who studies med and I think she's soulless now, lmao jk. But I hope to see more of your graphic before you go on saving lives! #POTTERHEAD

Can't wait to see your gallery. <3 If you need help getting around, let me know! :D à bientôt <3

my, thanks a lot for your kind words i'm touched :D

@awkardlyy — thank you so much! yeah well, i have important exams coming up on wednesday and here i am, watching tv and spending time in front of photoshop lmao. it definitely is a problem ahah

@gh — thanks gh, i am definitely going to search the whole place to find all the interesting things! and plus, the community seems like really nice so far so i'm really excited to be here right now!

and hp gosh, i've read the books in french when i was still in elementary school (like around 10yo i think) and saw the movies as they were released but kinda forgot about it until last year when i decided to read all the books again in english this time. and damn, j.k rowling did such a great job, i'm a fangirl once again ahah.
+ the books are awesome, you'll have to tell me what you thought of them once you'll be done okay? :P

i'll feel free then, thanks a lot!

@mari — hi mari! first of all, i really really like your name. (i love all of marie/mary and so on, but i have to say that mari is the most beautiful one to me, really delicate). thank you so much for my english, i have to admit that becoming bilingual is like my main goal in life. and you're far from being terrible in french okay! (just "terrible en français" because you're lacking the in) bravo, i know how difficult french is (sometimes even i don't know how i'm supposed to write things lmao), i'd probably speak french really poorly if it wasn't my main language.

yay, i always dreamed of having a gigantic family :P
i have to agree, i love melanie martinez so much and yes, mrs.potato head is prob the one song from her album that just keeps playing again and again in my headphones.

thanks a lot, you're gonna make me blush :D and i'm pretty sure i'm the one going to steal the skills from all of you ahah joke!

TV SHOWS ARE LOVE, TV SHOWS ARE LIFE. we agree on that, good that's settled then lmao.

aaah med school, a living hell anywhere on the planet, that's good to know we are not the only ones to suffer here in france then. ahah i'll definitely share my graphics, and i'm pretty sure i won't be able to give up on photoshop next year. maybe i'll have time to do some between pages and pages of classes to learn, who knows?

and that was a lot of words, oops.

Hi Laurane, and welcome to Shadowplay! I'm Tany. (: Je parle un peu de français, mais il est la plupart du temps limitée à ce que j'appris au lycée. That'ssome middle school and high school french for you... it's similar to Spanish (one of my native languages) so it was pretty easy to learn because of the similarities in both languages) . I know the forum seems a bit big, but once you get used to it, you'll be like the rest of us in one super big extended family. Ahhh, you edit with anime figures. It was hard for me to edit them at one point. Mostly because I'd have to be super careful with the compositions. But it got easier as time went on. You'll see it being the same once you start editing more with celebrities. BTW I LOVE MELANIE MARTINEZ <3 Her music is soooo good! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions! (:

@gh — thanks gh, i am definitely going to search the whole place to find all the interesting things! and plus, the community seems like really nice so far so i'm really excited to be here right now!

i'll feel free then, thanks a lot!


that's really great laurane! i hope you're having a great time in here so far. i know that feeling like 'it's huge idk where to even start' until i get get used to it cuz visiting it for everyday in a month. well, there's a lot more friendly people here and they're awesome as well.

omg, if i even have time to read books i just sleep when i read books, tbh but it'd be nice to read books sometime if i got more time.


and teach me french pls. lol

@tany — hi tany, thank you for your warm welcome ♥
and wow, that's really good french honestly! i'm jealous of you for speaking spanish because, even tho there are lots of similarities between french and spanish, i cannot speak it properly for the life of me lmao. seriously, it should be easier but nah. most of the time, we just put o and a's at the end of the words to try and make a spanish one, but it doesn't always work ahah.
well, i usually edit anime characters yes because i roleplay a lot with those on french boards. but the style we use is a lot more simple most of the time so it's a whole different world to me as editing real people does not imply the same skills at all. (except for composition maybe)(but then again, we rarely use pngs stocks, at least in France, in our avatars for exemple)(and gosh, cutting/rendering (i'm not sure i'm using the right word here oops) models is so difficult when you're used to the clear lines of anime characters).
i'm trying to improve yeah, i've already edited a few signatures but it's hard to get rid of all the habits i have with anime haha

@hideaway — hi! thank you so much even tho i honestly do not like my name lmao (prob because i grew up with people constantly mispronouncing it for laureen or laurène).
i don't know if any improvement is gonna come fast but i sure hope it's gonna happen ahah. well tbh, for a first try that's completely ok but i have a long history with photoshop even tho i never tried with celebrities so that's pretty standard i think
but thank you ever so much, compliments always make me going through all kind of positive feelings aww. ♥♥
i have to admit that i love france too even tho it has its share of flaws, but it's a great place nonetheless with a beautiful rich language. but english probably stole my heart a few years ago ahah

@petra — hi petra, i have to say i really like your name as well, makes me think of a really great side character i saw in a book once, i dont remember the name but well. ahah well you know exactly how i feel with celebrities then, that feels like a foreign world to me right now x)
that's so sweet of you thank youuu. ♥♥

@gh — don't worry i am and i'll get used to it soon enough :P
and yeah i feel you, it feels like ages since i last read a book and that's quite a pity because i used to devour them.
i'll teach you all you want to know but really, i'm not a good teacher lmao
