Ri's Portfolio
Hello, resplendencie, and welcome to my portfolio! I'm Ri [resplendencie] and this little portfolio of mines functions as a place where I can organize all my goals, accomplishments, pets and other scattered scribbles and thoughts all in one place. You may find all sorts of interesting (and maybe random) information about me here so feel free to explore!

In Depth
Ri. She's an aspiring designer and artist from the west coast (USA). She has a love for coffee, vintage, photography and crafts. She'd love to go to France, visit the Italian countryside, get lost in the busiest streets of London and find her Romeo in Verona. She's sixteen and running away to Paris with her dreams.
Who am I? I'm a high school student (a junior to be exact) living in Southern California and after high school I plan on majoring in Pharmaceutical Science before enrolling in pharmacy school to become a pharmacist.
I have one younger brother, zero pets, and a great weakness for Starbucks Hazelnut Frappucino. I'm huge nerd, as I spend nearly all my time reading, studying or hanging around Neo. C: I have a huge love for all things related to coffee and my dream vacation would be in Paris. I have outbursts of creativity (like Pushkin and his Boldino autumns) and its during those where I probably create my best layouts and graphics c: I love gifting and I especially adore designing layouts and graphics for others so my future goal is to open a graphic request site!
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world...

BlogJune 8 Another month, another blog post! It's June and you know what that means? That's right, RI IS OUT FOR THE SUMMER! -cheers-
RL-wise, my summer plans involve cheer practice (CHEER CAMP AT THE END OF THE JULY!), volunteering at the hospital and completing assorted summer assignments at school (-groans-). On Neo, however, my June goals revovle mainly around the - that's right - THE AC! -throws confetti in the air-. This is my first time playing the AC and I've taken upon the task of attaining All-Star rank! I've also joined TEAM ALTADOR. To be honest, I was alternating between Shenkuu or Altador then I looked at my username and somehow figured that I looked more suited for Altador. Resplendencie → resplendent → the sun → Altador (?!). That was basically my thought process.... I also recently joined The Neo Project (TNP), a guild focused on account-improvement and portfolios! TNP was where I originally got my inspiration for creating a portfolio and I'm excited to be apart of this guild I've admired for a while. And now...for a little reflection. As I look back on May, I realize I haven't accomplished many Neo goals. RL took up much of my time during May as I was buried under school projects, final exams and such. But...June will be all about getting that All-Star trophy!
May 2 Hooray for my first blog post! It's been a while since I first started this portfolio and I'm quite proud to see how far I've come. While coding this layout, I've experimented with fonts, tables, color schemes and all sorts of coding that I've never done before. It's been a project in learning and I think I can say this is my favorite layout I've ever made (even if it has no graphics)!
It's now May and as I look back on April, I'm filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I reached 250 avatars on April 2 and brought Shalie home (on May 1st) after trading my shadow draik for her. Aurie was morphed into a draik and painted desert on April 4th after months of saving up the NP. In RL, I've set myself on the task of achieving a perfectly flat stomach with my new workout routine (oh, and diet too, I guess). Hmm...let's see how long this fitness motivation of mines last. We'll get back to this at the end of the month. Graphic/coding-wise, my latest great project (as I've deemed this portfolio near complete) is Cherue's petpage! Cherue is my aisha (who will be painted white in two days) and her petpage should soon evolve into an elaborate petpage. With Cherue, I plan to exercise my writing/drawing skills and work with a more graphic-based layout. My goal by the end of June is to finish Cherue's petpage and be as proud of it as I am of my portfolio layout. On one final tangent...yay for a shiny new trophy! Attained a silver trophy on Typing Terror on Scores Reset Night. -cheers happily- Project 300
Project 300, as I've dubbed this project of mines, revolves around a goal of mines that I've been trying to achieve since I began Neo. As suggested by the number in the title, Project 300 is my project to ultimately attain 300 avatars on Neo! Of course, it's quite the ambitious dream, as it's not easy feat (at least, not for me), so I've dedicated this page to keep me on track with this dream.
Progress: 280/300

For Ash (_black3333_) Layouts
Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design can be simple, that's why it's so complicated.

The Neo Projectunder construction at the moment..My Family
Aurie HistoryAurie was my first permie pet when I returned to Neo after a rather long hiatus and created my main, resplendencie. She was created as a yellow Kacheek during the purge of '12 when I was stalking the name, Aura. Sadly, I missed - but I created Aurie, who I've grown to love. A little while after, I discovered that the name "Aurie" is actually a RN with Latin roots; it means "golden".Aurie was morphed and painted into a desert draik on April 4, 2013. I spent a total of 9.1 mil on Aurie - and that was the most I had ever saved before! Quite an accomplishment, actually. She is currently being trained as my BD pet and hosts my portfolio! Goals

Ceramics HistoryCeramics was created during the purge of '12, around the same time as Aurie. I was seeking the perfect name for a character with an artsy personality (and possibly a name the could host my future graphics site) and I found Ceramics!Ceramics was painted Christmas on April 16, 2013.

Petpet
Cherue HistoryCherue was created on April 28, 2013 and painted white on May 4, 2013. She was created on an impulse when I was struck by inspiration for a character. She's the first pet I've made a character petpage for ( click here to visit it) and it's currently a WIP. Cherue's page gives me the perfect opportunity to work on my writing and drawing skills.
Character Inspiration
Cherue's character and customization was inspired by a combination of NC items and a song on my iTunes. I was experimenting on Dress to Impress with a Fanciful Heart Crown Wig on a white aisha and had just added the Queen of Hearts Dress when the song How to be a Heartbreaker by Marina and the Diamonds came on.
And from there, well, her character just had a mind of its own. Also, it was around the same time the NC Mall released the Enchanted Tale items so the fairytale of Snow White was also part of the inspiration behind Cherue.
