PROMPT JAN.15: Let someone else decide the general rules of your piece.
.
>> Curie and I followed a tried and true Parade Ruckus rule: When in doubt, add a face. (It was either that or: When in doubt, add a window with a miniature vampire looking in forlornly... Parade Ruckus shenanigans.)
.
Using the "quilt" code, I gave Curie the ability to "doubt"... I know, I know. I opened Pandora's box. Soon Curie will be waking me in the middle of the night to ask if she's worthy!
.
But with the doubts comes a solution! Curie accesses a face database*, does a little photo editing, slaps a face on her work, then continues drawing with a smile of reassurance... until her next fit of doubts. She's becoming more human day by day!
.
The end result leads me to believe that Curie and I should explore this rule some more.
