Admiral Arthur Phillip RN (11 October 1738 – 31 August 1814) was the first Governor of New South Wales, and founder of the settlement which became Sydney.[1]
After much experience at sea, including command of a ship that was saved in a storm by convicts, Phillip sailed with the First Fleet, as Governor-designate of the proposed British penal colony of New South Wales. In February 1788, he selected its location to be Port Jackson (now Sydney Harbour).
Phillip was a far-sighted governor, who soon saw that New South Wales would need a civil administration and a system for emancipating the convicts. But his plan to bring skilled tradesmen on the voyage had been rejected, and he faced immense problems of labour, discipline and supply. Also his friendly attitude towards the aborigines was sorely tested when they killed his gamekeeper, and he was not able to assert a clear policy about them.
The arrival of the Second and Third Fleets placed new pressures on the scarce local resources, but by the time Phillip sailed home in December 1792, the colony was taking shape, with official land-grants and systematic farming and water-supply.
Phillip retired in 1805, but continued to correspond with his friends in New South Wales and to promote the colony's interests.
Arthur Phillip was born in 1738, the son of Jacob Phillip, a Frankfurt-born language teacher, and his English wife, Elizabeth Breach. Phillip was educated at the Greenwich Hospital School, part of Greenwich Hospital, and at the age of 13 was apprenticed to the merchant navy. He spoke a number of languages in addition to English, including French, German and Portuguese.[2]
Seven Years' War and Spanish-Portuguese War[edit]
Phillip joined the Royal Navy at about fifteen, and saw action at the outbreak of the Seven Years' War in the Mediterranean at the Battle of Minorca (1756). In 1762 he was promoted to Lieutenant, but was placed on half pay when the Seven Years' War ended in 1763. During this period he married, and farmed in Lyndhurst, Hampshire.
In 1774 Phillip joined the Portuguese Navy as a captain, serving in the War against Spain. While with the Portuguese Navy, Phillip commanded a frigate, the Nossa Senhora do Pilar. On this ship he took a detachment of troops from Rio de Janeiro to Colonia do Sacramento on the Rio de la Plata (opposite Buenos Aires) to relieve the garrison there. This voyage also conveyed a consignment of convicts assigned to carry out work at Colonia. During a storm encountered in the course of the voyage, the convicts assisted in working the ship and, on arrival at Colonia, Phillip recommended that they be rewarded for saving the ship by remission of their sentences.[3] A garbled version of this eventually found its way into the English press when Phillip was appointed in 1786 to lead the expedition to Sydney.[4] Phillip played a leading part in the capture of the Spanish ship San Agustín (1768), on 19 April 1777, off Santa Catarina. The San Agustin was commissioned into the Portuguese Navy as the Santo Agostinho, and command of her was given to Phillip. The action was reported in the English press:
Madrid, Aug. 28. Letters from Lisbon bring the following Account from Rio Janeiro: That the St. Augustine, of 70 Guns, having being separated from the Squadron of M. Casa Tilly, was attacked by two Portugueze Ships, against which they defended themselves for a Day and a Night, but being next Day surrounded by the Portugueze Fleet, was obliged to surrender.[5]
In 1778 Britain was again at war, and Phillip was recalled to active service, and in 1779 obtained his first command, HMS Basilisk. He was promoted to captain in 1781, and was given command of HMS Europa.[6]
In July 1782, in a change of government, Thomas Townshend became Secretary of State for Home and American Affairs, and assumed responsibility for organising an expedition against Spanish America. Like his predecessor, Lord Germain, he turned for advice to Arthur Phillip.[7] A letter from Phillip to Sandwich of 17 January 1781 records Phillip's loan to Sandwich of his charts of the Plata and Brazilian coasts for use in organising the expedition.[8] Phillip's plan was for a squadron of three ships of the line and a frigate to mount a raid on Buenos Aires and Monte Video, then to proceed to the coasts of Chile, Peru and Mexico to maraud, and ultimately to cross the Pacific to join the British Navy's East India squadron for an attack on Manila.[9] The expedition, consisting of the Grafton, 70 guns, Elizabeth, 74 guns, Europe, 64 guns, and the Iphigenia frigate, sailed on 16 January 1783, under the command of Commodore Robert Kingsmill.[10] Phillip was given command of the 64-gun HMS Europa, or Europe.[11] Shortly after sailing, an armistice was concluded between Great Britain and Spain. Phillip learnt of this in April when he put in for storm repairs at Rio de Janeiro. Phillip wrote to Townshend from Rio de Janeiro on 25 April 1783, expressing his disappointment that the ending of the American War had robbed him of the opportunity for naval glory in South America.[12]
After his return to England from India in April 1784, Phillip remained in close contact with Townshend, now Lord Sydney, and the Home Office Under Secretary, Evan Nepean. From October 1784 to September 1786 he was employed by Nepean, who was in charge of the Secret Service relating to the Bourbon Powers, France and Spain, to spy on the French naval arsenals at Toulon and other ports.[13] There was fear that Britain would soon be at war with these powers as a consequence of the Batavian Revolution in the Netherlands.[14]
At this time, Lord Sandwich, together with the President of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks, was advocating establishment of a British colony in New South Wales.[15] A colony there would be of great assistance to the British Navy in facilitating attacks on the Spanish possessions in Chile and Peru, as Banks's collaborators, James Matra, Captain Sir George Young and Sir John Call pointed out in written proposals on the subject. The British Government took the decision to found the Botany Bay colony in mid-1786. Lord Sydney, as Secretary of State for the Home Office, was the minister in charge of this undertaking, and in September 1786 he appointed Phillip commodore of the fleet which was to transport the convicts and soldiers who were to be the new settlers to Botany Bay. Upon arrival there, Phillip was to assume the powers of Captain General and Governor in Chief of the new colony. A subsidiary colony was to be founded on Norfolk Island, as recommended by Sir John Call, to take advantage for naval purposes of that island's native flax and timber. Phillip's fleet sailed from Portsmouth in May 1787.
Governor of New South Wales[edit]

In October 1786, Phillip was appointed captain of HMS Sirius and named Governor-designate of New South Wales, the proposed British colony on the east coast of Australia, by Lord Sydney, the Home Secretary.
Phillip had a very difficult time assembling the fleet which was to make the eight-month sea voyage to Australia. Everything a new colony might need had to be taken, since Phillip had no real idea of what he might find when he got there. There were few funds available for equipping the expedition. His suggestion that people with experience in farming, building and crafts be included was rejected. Most of the 772 convicts (of whom 732 survived the voyage) were petty thieves from the London slums. Phillip was accompanied by a contingent of marines and a handful of other officers who were to administer the colony.
The 11 ships of the First Fleet set sail on 13 May 1787. The leading ship, HMS Supply reached Botany Bay setting up camp on the Kurnell Peninsula,[16] on 18 January 1788. Phillip soon decided that this site, chosen on the recommendation of Sir Joseph Banks, who had accompanied James Cook in 1770, was not suitable, since it had poor soil, no secure anchorage and no reliable water source. After some exploration Phillip decided to go on to Port Jackson, and on 26 January the marines and convicts were landed at Sydney Cove, which Phillip named after Lord Sydney.
Shortly after establishing the settlement at Port Jackson, on 15 February 1788, Phillip sent Lieutenant Philip Gidley King with 8 free men and a number of convicts to establish the second British colony in the Pacific at Norfolk Island. This was partly in response to a perceived threat of losing Norfolk Island to the French and partly to establish an alternative food source for the new colony.
The early days of the settlement were chaotic and difficult. With limited supplies, the cultivation of food was imperative, but the soils around Sydney were poor, the climate was unfamiliar, and moreover very few of the convicts had any knowledge of agriculture. Farming tools were scarce and the convicts were unwilling farm labourers. The colony was on the verge of outright starvation for an extended period. The marines, poorly disciplined themselves in many cases, were not interested in convict discipline. Almost at once, therefore, Phillip had to appoint overseers from among the ranks of the convicts to get the others working. This was the beginning of the process of convict emancipation which was to culminate in the reforms of Lachlan Macquarie after 1811.
Phillip showed in other ways that he recognised that New South Wales could not be run simply as a prison camp. Lord Sydney, often criticised as an ineffectual incompetent, had made one fundamental decision about the settlement that was to influence it from the start. Instead of just establishing it as a military prison, he provided for a civil administration, with courts of law. Two convicts, Henry and Susannah Kable, sought to sue Duncan Sinclair, the captain of Alexander, for stealing their possessions during the voyage. Convicts in Britain had no right to sue, and Sinclair had boasted that he could not be sued by them. Someone in Government obviously had a quiet word in Kable's ear, as when the court met and Sinclair challenged the prosecution on the ground that the Kables were felons, the court required him to prove it. As all the convict records had been left behind in England, he could not do so, and the court ordered the captain to make restitution. Further, soon after Lord Sydney appointed him governor of New South Wales Arthur Phillip drew up a detailed memorandum of his plans for the proposed new colony. In one paragraph he wrote: "The laws of this country [England] will of course, be introduced in [New] South Wales, and there is one that I would wish to take place from the moment his Majesty's forces take possession of the country: That there can be no slavery in a free land, and consequently no slaves",[17] and he meant what he said. Nevertheless, Phillip believed in discipline, and floggings and hangings were commonplace, although Philip commuted many death sentences.
Phillip also had to adopt a policy towards the Eora Aboriginal people, who lived around the waters of Sydney Harbour. Phillip ordered that they must be well-treated, and that anyone killing Aboriginal people would be hanged. Phillip befriended an Eora man called Bennelong, and later took him to England. On the beach at Manly, a misunderstanding arose and Phillip was speared in the shoulder: but he ordered his men not to retaliate. Phillip went some way towards winning the trust of the Eora, although the settlers were at all times treated extremely warily. Soon, a virulent disease, smallpox that was believed to be on account of the white settlers, and other European-introduced epidemics, ravaged the Eora population.
The Governor's main problem was with his own military officers, who wanted large grants of land, which Phillip had not been authorised to grant. The officers were expected to grow food, but they considered this beneath them. As a result scurvy broke out, and in October 1788 Phillip had to send Sirius to Cape Town for supplies, and strict rationing was introduced, with thefts of food punished by hanging. Arthur Phillip quoted "The living conditions need to improve or my men won't work as hard, so I have come to a conclusion that I must hire surgeons to fix the convicts."
Stabilising the colony[edit]

Despite Phillip's earlier order that Aboriginal Australians must never be slain, and his insistence that no retaliation be taken to avenge his own non-fatal spearing, Phillip's stance toward Aboriginals changed markedly after the death of his gamekeeper, John MacIntyre. After being fatally wounded by an Aboriginal man, on his deathbed, MacIntyre confessed to a priest that he had exhibited cruelty to Aboriginals. MacIntyre, suspected of hunting more than just game, was dreaded by Bennelong and other Aboriginals, and is believed to have been wounded in retribution for the Aboriginals he had killed. Nevertheless, Phillip, alarmed and outraged, made a surprising move, ordering that the Natives be made severe examples of. He ordered a party to capture six Natives the very next day, 14 December 1790, and put them to death.[18]
Lieutenant William Dawes and colleague Watkin Tench, who were ordered to lead the revenge party, expressed disgust at the idea. Dawes and Tench had befriended the Aboriginals, and Dawes was even reported to have engaged in a relationship with an Aboriginal woman. Tench revealed in his journal that he had been given provisions for three days, ropes to bind the Aboriginal victims, and bags to collect their severed heads. However, the fleet was uncooperative. Phillip, growing frustrated with the burdens of upholding a colony and his health suffering, resigned soon after this episode.[18][19]
By 1790 the situation had stabilised. The population of about 2,000 was adequately housed and fresh food was being grown. Phillip assigned a convict, James Ruse, land at Rose Hill (now Parramatta) to establish proper farming, and when Ruse succeeded he received the first land grant in the colony. Other convicts followed his example. Sirius was wrecked in March 1790 at the satellite settlement of Norfolk Island, depriving Phillip of vital supplies. In June 1790 the Second Fleet arrived with hundreds more convicts, most of them too sick to work.
By December 1790 Phillip was ready to return to England, but the colony had largely been forgotten in London and no instructions reached him, so he carried on. In 1791 he was advised that the government would send out two convoys of convicts annually, plus adequate supplies. But July, when the vessels of the Third Fleet began to arrive, with 2,000 more convicts, food again ran short, and he had to send a ship to Calcutta for supplies.
By 1792 the colony was well established, though Sydney remained an unplanned huddle of wooden huts and tents. The whaling industry was established, ships were visiting Sydney to trade, and convicts whose sentences had expired were taking up farming. John Macarthur and other officers were importing sheep and beginning to grow wool. The colony was still very short of skilled farmers, craftsmen and tradesmen, and the convicts continued to work as little as possible, even though they were working mainly to grow their own food.
In late 1792 Phillip, whose health was suffering from the poor diet, at last received permission to leave, and on 11 December 1792 he sailed in the ship Atlantic, taking with him many specimens of plants and animals. He also took Bennelong and his friend Yemmerrawanyea, another young Indigenous Australian who, unlike Bennelong, would succumb to English weather and disease and not live to make the journey home. The European population of New South Wales at his departure was 4,221, of whom 3,099 were convicts. The early years of the colony had been years of struggle and hardship, but the worst was over, and there were no further famines in New South Wales. Phillip arrived in London in May 1793. He tendered his formal resignation and was granted a pension of £500 a year.[20]
Later life[edit]
Phillip's wife, Margaret, had died in 1792. In 1794 he married Isabella Whitehead, and lived for a time at Bath. His health gradually recovered and in 1796 he went back to sea, holding a series of commands and responsible posts in the wars against the French. In January 1799 he became a Rear-Admiral. In 1805, aged 67, he retired from the Navy with the rank of Admiral of the Blue, and spent most of the rest of his life at Bath. He continued to correspond with friends in New South Wales and to promote the colony's interests with government officials. He died in Bath in 1814.[21]
Phillip was buried in St Nicholas's Church, Bathampton. Forgotten for many years, the grave was discovered in 1897[22] and the Premier of New South Wales, Sir Henry Parkes who also started federation in Australia, had it restored. An annual service of remembrance is held here around Phillip's birthdate by the Britain–Australia Society to commemorate his life. A monument to Phillip in Bath Abbey Church was unveiled in 1937. Another was unveiled at St Mildred's Church, Bread St, London, in 1932; that church was destroyed in the London Blitz in 1940, but the principal elements of the monument were re-erected in St Mary-le-Bow at the west end of Watling Street, near Saint Paul's Cathedral, in 1968.[23] There is a statue of him in the Botanic Gardens, Sydney. There is a portrait of him by Francis Wheatley in the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Percival Serle wrote of Phillip in his Dictionary of Australian Biography:
Steadfast in mind, modest, without self seeking, Phillip had imagination enough to conceive what the settlement might become, and the common sense to realize what at the moment was possible and expedient. When almost everyone was complaining he never himself complained, when all feared disaster he could still hopefully go on with his work. He was sent out to found a convict settlement, he laid the foundations of a great dominion.[24]
Loss of remains[edit]
In 2007, Geoffrey Robertson QC alleged that Phillip's remains are no longer in St Nicholas Church, Bathampton and have been lost: "...Captain Arthur Phillip is not where the ledger stone says he is: it may be that he is buried somewhere outside, it may simply be that he is simply lost. But he is not where Australians have been led to believe that he now lies."[25] Robertson also believes it was a "disgraceful slur" on Phillip's legacy that he was not buried in one of England's great cathedrals and was relegated to a small village church. Robertson is campaigning for a rigorous search for the remains, which he believes should be re-interred in Australia.
In his honour[edit]
His name is commemorated in Australia by Port Phillip, Phillip Island (Victoria), Phillip Island (Norfolk Island), the federal electorate of Phillip (1949–1993), the suburb of Phillip in Canberra, the Governor Phillip Tower building in Sydney, and many streets, parks and schools including a state high school in Parramatta.
Popular culture[edit]
Phillip is a prominent character in Timberlake Wertenbaker's play Our Country's Good, in which he commissions Lieutenant Ralph Clark to stage a production of The Recruiting Officer. He is shown as compassionate and just, but receives little support from his fellow officers. He is also prominent in Banished and is played by David Wenham.
Phillip is referred to in the John Williamson song "Chains around my ankle".
Kate Grenville's 2008 novel The Lieutenant portrays Phillip through the character Commodore James Gilbert.

It's a broad way of looking at things, but when it comes to resort, you can put almost any designer into one of two camps: traditionalists, who embrace the season and its usually quaint nautical themes, and those who prefer a conceit that is a little more, shall we say, unexpected?
No prizes for guessing where the forward-thinking Maison Martin Margiela fits after presenting their resort 2013 collection in New York earlier this week.
As we saw in their fall runway show, the very un-resort concept of retro-chic power dressing (what the house itself describes as the "statement shoulders" look) was again the starting point for the label. Although there were dashes of sportiness, it all came together best when they mixed the mostly slender pants ensembles with coarser fabrics and detailing.
Take the blue two-piece suit, for instance. Although it's not a replica of a disco-era original (unlike the Studio 54-evoking shrunken tuxedo jackets that are a recreation of a piece from 1970s Rio, of all places) it strikes a practically flawless menswear-inspired silhouette nonetheless, mainly thanks to the rough raw denim finish that gives it a sturdy, constructed feel. Get a little closer, in fact, and you'll see the tan pumps that complete the look are actually festooned in an even rougher shaggy hemp—a trademark Margiela quirk if there ever was one, even if it is on a micro scale compared to the famously high-concept Cousin Itt wig-coats of the house's past.
On the whole, though, this was a predominantly sleek and wearable collection, which took shape in the form of the neutrally toned daywear finished with billowing silk. But wait, what's this? A single pair of wide-leg white cotton sailor pants? Maybe we shouldn't throw out the idea of Margiela doing a nautical-themed resort collection just yet.

I was working at a project, crashed while working on it and when I woke up, my laptop have updated and Photoshop was closed. Is there a way to recover the work like in Office 2010? I hope there is or back to doing it all over again.
There was a thread here a while back where the OP let the battery on his laptop completely run out, with the result that it crashed while saving his large project file. That resulted in a total loss because he could no longer access the PSD file even after trying recovery software. However you might have more luck, so try Google with 'psd recovery'. Some of them are free to use, and there are several to chose from.

DuPont creates textile unit, realigns rest of company
DuPont Co. will create a new textiles and interiors subsidiary with the intent of spinning it off from the company. The Wilmington, Del.-based giant also plans to align its other businesses in five market- and technology-focused areas.
The new wholly owned subsidiary, DuPont Textiles & Interiors, would include the company's nylon, polyester fibers, and Lycra operations and would have annual sales of $6.5 billion.
The five other business units are DuPont Electronic & Communication Technologies; DuPont Performance Materials; DuPont Coatings & Color Technologies; DuPont Safety & Protection; and DuPont Agriculture & Nutrition.
"Consistent with our long-term strategy and direction, our growth platforms will be more tightly focused on markets and technologies," said Chad Holliday, DuPont CEO. "This will enable faster execution and improved capability for innovation and shareholder value creation," he said.
Holliday said DuPont will consider a full range of options for DuPont Textiles & Interiors, including an initial public offering, with the ultimate intent of separation by year-end 2003, market conditions permitting. The company has engaged Morgan Stanley to assist in the evaluation process.
DuPont executive vice president and COO Richard Goodmanson and group vice presidents Steve McCracken and George MacCormack will lead the Textiles & Interiors business.
As for the five growth platforms, the CEO said one priority will be to leverage across the platforms for better market access and technology extension.
The five growth platforms will report to John Hodgson, currently group vice president and just appointed executive vice president:
- DuPont Electronic & Communication Technologies. With about US$2.7 billion in segment sales, the group develops technologies to improve the form and functionality of electronic components in a wide range of applications for the information and communications industries.
- DuPont Performance Materials. With segment sales of about US$4.7 billion, the group focuses on high-performance materials substitution in areas.
- DuPont Coatings & Color Technologies. With segment sales of about US$4.9 billion, the group specializes in coatings and color products.
- DuPont Safety & Protection. With segment sales of about US$3.6 billion, the group addresses high growth opportunities, specializing in safety, security, and protection.
- DuPont Agriculture & Nutrition. With segment sales of about US$4.3 billion, the group will focus on crop protection chemicals, seeds, biotechnology, food ingredients, and safety for growers and the global food industry.

New "Kid's Bins" designed by school children to promote Goodwill mission and develop community pride of ownership
Washington, DC – While a growing number of communities are becoming inundated with unmarked donation bins or bins with dubious charitable benefit, Goodwill of Greater Washington (DC Goodwill) is launching a new campaign to make its donation bins unique, while emphasizing the charity's mission in a fun and community driven manner. The campaign is called, "Goodwill Kid's Bins".
In partnership with Applebee's, DC Goodwill is working with local schools by inviting students to design the artwork that will wrap each new donation bin placed in an Applebee's parking lot.

If fashion is indeed art, then nowhere can you find a more diverse collection of fashionable art than at Goodwill of Greater Washington retail stores – where styles, genres, colors, patterns, brands, generations and genders are so universally represented.
That's why on September 24th at Artisphere in Rosslyn, the popular Fashion of Goodwill Runway Show and Gala will return with an imaginative theme: The Art of Fashion!

The ICI is proud to present a visual exploration of contemporary society presented through the paintings of artist and longtime associate Sande Sisneros. Using inverted lighting and optics within the display space, large-scale oil paintings of uninhabited landscapes and disjointedly dramatic skies give way to a tracery of haunting visual narratives that reveal hidden "realities" lurking just below the painted surfaces. The duality of these images, encourages viewers to question what we see and (more importantly) what we often times don't see or choose not to see. Is seeing really believing? Are truth and perception the same? And equally, what are the boundaries of our existence?

Here we are again - me and the dreaded virtual sketchbook. I began a new "real" sketchbook and though this could be a good start to post again. Anyway I hope that I can keep this up-to-date and running and won´t have such a big break due to overwork and rut ...
Here´s stuff to start with, I try at the moment to get a better and more controlled grip on colours with more or less success.
Hope you have fun ...

Fipse? Wow, Fipse is that you? Your best stuff so far.
hey fipse long time no see!
lots of improvement since I have seen last. What has been up ? You disappeared for a while there!
i seen some of your post several times before,
the first and second works has a very attractive style line and color (especiall the face of the woman)
when i look at this sword and her arm (at the right) i don't feel it weird to see cow-boy like girl with those things: how did u achieved that ???!!
same things with the second one
good luck
I agree with ^ . . . I think the color harmony in the first one is definately the best - very nice image. Looks like you're at a good stage to pursue color too; I really can't find much to crit in terms of anatomy, proportion, or perspective in your figures. . .the poses could probably be a little more dynamic, with better awareness of the center of gravity (I'm thinking of #3 here) but I know that's not really what you're concentrating on here. In terms of color study, I'm sure you've seen fredflickstone's incredible color demos and tutorials around this site. His ability to convey the concepts is (in my opinion) completely unmatched - definately check them out again if you haven't read them for a while.
A big part of using color is to avoid oversaturating everything - you did quite well in the top one and also the third one, but the fourth and fifth seem oversaturated throughout - it'll make the color seem muddy and uninteresting, compared to a single area of high saturation surrounded by low saturation. Color's _hard_ but very fun, keep it up!

Hi and thanks for the nice comments!
I´ve been overworked and quite in a rut the past few month but I´m stable now . I even hope I can post more or less regular in the next time - whatever this means in my case.
Hi Robbie, long time no see! In fact I don´t think I´m any better than before - I just took my time with some of the drawings and didn´t rush them.
You see why I disappeared up there. I hope the rut is over - I´m just waiting for my vacation and get into gear again
I tried to give the armour and weapon a victorian style, mainly in the decoration. I think this helped a bit to give an overall coherent picture.
My boring poses are really a problem for me, somehow I´m alway stuck in historical illustration where there´s the need to show most of the figure. I should take a look at Ron Lemens stuff again, I´ve done mostly anatomical studies in the past and colours are really diffcult for me. I tend - as you have seen - to oversaturate, partly it´s a problem with my monitor that is quite bright. But I surely will have an eye on it.
Thanks again
:edit: lowered the saturation of the saxon a bit - on my monitor it´s nearly grey - so I hope the figure is more readable now.

Here we are again with some updates. Pictures from my last lifedrawing session (man, do I have to practise) and the first environment I did for years ...
<Insert witty remark here>
hey fipse... cool stuff in here. keep working on your anatomy, as everyone should.
also... try making your lines more flowing and smooth. try to do some blind contours (where you put your hand on the paper and not look at it... then you try to draw something you see). that helped me a bit. keep up the good work.
those lifedrawings are not bad fipse.
just try to shade cleaner and smoother.
after all you shade to define forms and not to texturize the figure.
maybe do some head-only studies next time. the head is like the most important part of any drawing and also one of the hardest so some extensive practice in that field will never harm ones art.
keep it up!
Found some time to draw again. This will be my last post before I go for 2 weeks on holiday where I´m hopefully able to make further studies.
Point taken, will have a look at it. Thanks for commenting!
I know that I´m sometimes to hasty with my shading. With this session we haven´t had good lighting that made my shades even more insecure. I normally tend to do more on the heads but have neglected it this time. Anyway I think, too, that a portrait session would be a good thing.
Here´s the wip and the colouring of a drawing that I recently made for the DSG "Cthulhu noble" Didn´t finish it in time but found some time again this evening. This time a quite monochromatic approach.
<Insert witty remark here>
Here I am again ... haven´t drawn as much as I wanted in my holiday but at least did some studies and stuff and had some fun with my good ole quill-pen.
Some anatomy-studies after Bammes:
And some black and white sketches I made. The one with the boat was made in situ.
I hope I can send my irregularities a bit more regular in the next time.

O.k. haven´t posted for a while and in fact I haven´t done anything worthwile in the artsy department. A lotof time went into this project:
Had to do the costume and pedantic as I am this took some time. Here´s now a WIP for a new project I´m working on atm. I´m illustrating for next years Battle of Hastings Reenactment the different types of norman warriors and started with norman archers.
<Insert witty remark here>
O.k. found some time to colour my last sketch. Not everything worked out the way I wanted it but my "Customer" is happy. The figures are based on the Bayeux Tapestry of about 1070 AD with some additional research of mine. For illustrations of this kind I need often more time for research than for the actual drawing. Thanks especially Cookiedough for some tips in IRC. They have to be on a white background because they will be cut out for the publications and on the website - the shadow is jsut added for CA.
<Insert witty remark here>
Had some time to work more regularly (aka I´m ill at home) and could do another basic drawign for my norman "army". This time light infantry (arriere ban).
<Insert witty remark here>
Further ago with the normans. This time arriere ban, the mass of abled men acting as light and medium infantry.
I see the problems with the right foot of the left figure now and the face of the right one is a bit marionette-like ...
Anyway atm I´m to tired to change it.
<Insert witty remark here>
your characters have come a ways since I last saw.
Your linework is improving, getting more confident in your strokes, good.
I like the picture of you as Robin Hood! Yeah!!!
O.k. gain normans - I think when I´ve finished this stuff I will draw a dozen scantily clad women just to compensate. This drawing gave me quite a lot problems and I´m not 100% contend with it. Anyway I will start to colour it and hope I can fix the problems as I go over it.
@ Endregan
Hehe, never saw myself as Robin Hood. My archery is supposedly much to bad for it and this costume is about 400 - 500 years to early for Mr. Sherwood Forest .
<Insert witty remark here>
O.k. slowly this is getting a bit boring but I still have another pair of norman figures to do. Finally I finished the sergens, heavy, professional fighters. I really fear the next picture where I have to do two fully mailclad Miles (Heavy warrior) ... Maybe I should change to SF-Illustration. Anyway I think it will be good to get away from this colouring style and try a more realistical one.
I still don´t get why the Jpegs seem to be more saturated than the original PS-colouring ...
<Insert witty remark here>
O.k., I just want to show I´m still living. Here´s the last of my norman pieces, two heavy fighters (Miles). Now it´s time for the Thunderdome!
<Insert witty remark here>
i think the feet are to aligned to match or something.... now they practically spoon eachother if you look at the feet.
great pictures though!
more !
you'r grasp of lighting and form is really good - your color work is nicely done too. the one that jumped out at me the most is your cthulu noble. it seems that this one has more of a dramatic lighting than the rest of your finished work. I realize that it's probably because the other ones aren't scenes, just character layouts. not sure, but everything looks great. your handle on human anatomy looks pretty solid, what about animal/creature anatomy? if you are/will become as good with that as you are with humans, i cant wait to see you start to play with that feild. keep up the good work!
Creation is an act of divinity. We are all gods of our own worlds.
Hey, Fipse! Been a while! Your latest stuff looks good! I think the characters would look better if ya notched up the contrast a bit, though. Some variation in skintone would also improve it a lot. Just my two cents
I'm diggin' on the obvious research you've done for these, though! I totally buy into their outfits.
Hi and thanks for the nice comments!
@ Hurricane
Mhm, you´re right about the feet. Didn´t realize it during the drawing. But standing in a shieldwall is in my experience a snuggly affair so the spooning comparison is right .
@ Aquila
Yeah, the norman pictures are for a kitguide to show people how to dress porperly in an upcoming reenactment event so they needed more of an accurate picture than dramatic lighting. Animals and creatures are one of my weak spots. I´m so interested in humans that I often lose sight of other sujets.
@ Dcept
I decided to use no dramatic lighting and no ambiente lighting that would fake the colours. I think that´s (and my ignorance) lead to the weak contrasts.
Research for medieval costumes is fortunately now not so difficult for me - I´ve got just to reach behind me at my bookshelfs .
Thank again

haha good to hear your alive buddy.
even close to death keep on drawin!
Hi, having survived crunchtime for this time I hope I can draw more in the next time. At least I could manage somehow to finish my piece for the second round of Thunderdome "Last man standing". To show a bit more than the finished piece I think I tell a bit about my approach to a more complex drawing.
1. Normally I don´t do many sketches before I start drawing. I mostly have the idea and the composition in my head and try directly to put it down on paper. Anyway because this was a more complex topic I decided to make a bit more work. First I did a fast thumbnail to nail my idea down, a vast junkyard-town in an postapocalyptic setting. everything is very vague and hasty until I start the "real" drawing.
2. I decided to change the perspective of the focal point - the fighting pair. I love designing costumes so I wanted to show more of them. The dark lines I stressed so I can go into the next stage.
3. With layout-paper I traced the main lines of the sketch and refined the forms, changed the gesture and was happy enough to call it o.k. for the main drawing. The dark lines I transmitted with graphite paper to the final drawing paper.
4. Now we come to the fun part - the final drawing. The transmitted lines I erased so there are just faint lines. I redrew them and did the basic drawing with a non-repro blue pencil and accomplished the drawing with a HB 0.5 technical pencil. The drawing I scanned in for the colouring. The whole drawing has been made in A3 (29,7 x 42 cm).
5. I applied the basic colours (or in this case values) with Photoshop on the drawing to establish a direction.
6. Now I just refine the rendering in the usual ways, tweaking and detailign in PS. Voilá - you´ve got a piece to get your ass beaten in Thunderdome. For your information I added a detail in the size I actually painted the stuff in.
Hope I can post more stuff later on.
<Insert witty remark here>
Just to show I´m still alive here are some sketches from the last time. Unfortunately my scanner is short for his stay in the happy scanning grounds so the overall quality isn´t as good as I want it to be. Most of the following stuff is from the Prague workshop, just the first one is one of my lifedrawings I unusually made in my sketchbook. With the crappy scanner I have I decided to not scan all my lifedrawing stuff at the moment (who´s interested in nude women anyway ...).
Life drawing
Did this on the flight to Prague
Prague Degenesis assignment - didn´t get to show it
Game Character Design assignment - had the idea of an insectoid game
More lifedrawings
I didn´t draw as much as the last time and spent more time listening and watching to grab some knowlege and suck out the usual unsuspecting brain.
Anyway I´ll see how I will survive the next oncoming crunch - maybe I even get to drawing at home once again ...
<Insert witty remark here>
Hi Fipse!
It was really nice to meet you in Prague!
Awesome sketches, thanks for sharing!

Do you have the ability to build a deck, even if it only functions as a walkway on most sides, around the pool? If so, you could add any kind of privacy fencing to the decking easily.

Instead of throwing away those one-time use Propane tanks, this Instructable shows you how to turn them into a safe, reusable drink tankard. Best of all, it is a functional insulated container so, it will keep your drink cold, without sweating.
Perfect for the seasoned outdoorsman. Fill it with a favorite beverage, and appear to be drinking propane right from the tank.
Step 1: Propane and Propane Accessories
Or perhaps you just need propane fueled energy to keep you warm during the cold winter months?
What better way to show it, than by taking a swig right from the tank.
In the heat of the BBQ season, or in the dead cold of winter, you need a shot of the good stuff, and now you can appear to be drinking it, with this incredibly authentic beverage container.
"Strickland Propane may have Propane and Propane Accessories but, they aint got nothing like this!"
Disclamer: Propane is dangerous!
- Propane is extremely flammable
- The beverage container in this project is for novelty purposes only
- Propane should never be consumed in any way, shape, or form.
- This project uses EMPTY containers.
- Do not empty tanks by manually depressing the valve.
- Always empty tanks through an approved Propane appliance.
- Liquid propane expelled from its container is Dangerously Cold and will instantly freeze skin.
- Never heat propane tanks they will explode
Step 2: Finally, a use for those Tanks!
Here is a good use for them. This project is fairly easy, and costs very little.
Empty Propane Tank - Free
Pop Bottle - forfeited deposit :(
Rubber O- Ring - $0.45
Foam - ~$6.00/can Although the can is a one time use, it probably could fill 5 or 6 propane tanks if they were prep'ed and ready when the foam can is tapped.
These little disposable cans work great for projects. I saw a post before I looked here on how to safely cut one of these in half. There was noting online on how to do it except don't because you 'll blow yourself up. well this is what I did. put the torch back on and left it open. Propane is heavier than air so you need to turn it upside down so the nozzle is facing down. then I have a triangle file in my jewelry files and I just filed until there was a hole. There was no noise of gas escaping, just could smell propane a bit strong after breaking throu but it's not enough to explode esp with the nozzle left open. locked. I know at least 9 of 10 of you are going to ask me why I would need to cut one? Well these tanks are pressure tight and finding something that can hole that kind of pressure when building tools or projects come in handy. it all depends on scale. they use the 20 lb tanks to make little kilns. I want this one to make a mini soup can forge, but mine is high Quality, spent the money on 3000 degree fire cement and Aluminum brackets. I am building this for my garage so I can heat steal on a small scale cheap and efficiently, It's a cheap way to get into metal fabrication without spending more than 10 or 20 dollars.
PS. filling with water and then bumping will assure no gas is left in the vessel. Rust should not be a problem if you are spraying water inside to make foam work anyway it will speed up your process a little. cheers!
a few production ideas/notes.
When the Schrader valve is first removed... Use the opening to fill the container with water. when completely filled, reinstall the valve, and you're now "safeish" for cutting. Without this step, there is a SMALL, but real chance that some gas remains in the container, and an errant spark can make it go 'POP' or, in worst case 'BOOM'.
#2... instead of all the tiny holes, to remove the valve...a hacksaw can cut through that brass pretty quicky, then a hole-saw will net you a clean, perfectly sized hole, with one go. If your plastic bottle neck is larger than the thread diameter, you can skip the hacksaw and take the entire valve/thread assembly in one quick drill.
#3. when foaming with the bottle in place, make sure the cap is ON the bottle.
otherwise, it is possible that he foam might crush the unsupported plastic a bit. Not critical, but useful.
#4 Acetone works wonders at removing UN-CURED expanding foam.
if it has cured... then remove as much as you can and head to the drugstore(or beauty supply, or just about anywhere) and get yourself a pumice stone. sandpaper works for those of us with "manly tough hides" and a little less common sense. Abrade MOST of it off... then let exfoliation, and everyday abrasion do the rest.
#5 using MINIMALLY expanding foam will cure some of the issues observed by the OP. and the cans CAN be used multiple times, you just have to get the foam plugs out of the nozzle and straw (nozzle is easy, with a paperclip. usually easier just to use a new straw. free from your local fast food joint)
My process would NOT USE the pilot bit. Just the outer bit.
this lets you cut just a small amount of sheet metal.
using a step drill, you'd be drilling away all of the brass stem.
It's a drinking bottle, so if the hole is a little off center, it's no big deal.
let the stem guide your holesaw, rather than the 'starter drill bit'.
Now for a minor point of clarification: After an extensive Mass Spectrometrical Analysis, it has been determined that the stem is not brass but is indeed steel; just like the rest of the tank. (At least that's what my magnet told me)
Seriously, a Heartfelt Thank you for your comments.
H. P. Stoutharrow
But the other way would be to insert some wood into the tank through the bottom hole to drill into to locate the hole saw
I do not have 'manly tough hide'. I have used sandpaper on my skin and I have used Pumice stone; I think Pumice is rougher.
The only problem with the MINIMALLY expanding foam is that it isn't as much fun!

I am new to chocolate but I love it!! I made a 2:1 ganache (70% chocolate and 35% cream) and I added some granulated sugar to it and now my ganache has undissolved sugar granules. How can I correct this? any help is appreciated.
That depends on how much sugar you added.
Sugar won't dissolve in chocolate, and if you added as much sugar as cream, you're pretty much out of luck. My suggestion would be to melt it all down and use a hand mixer to dissolve the sugar. It will incorporate air into the mix as it cools and solidifies, but you can remelt it again and stir the air out and let it set.
In the future, dissolve the sugar in the cream first.

It's never too soon to encourage a love of reading. A toddler can graduate from those chunky, chewable little board books to:
Here's a dirty little secret: When it comes to playtime, some parents find the infant stage to be, well, a little boring. (Really, how much fun is wagging a rattle for you?!) But once a child approaches his first birthday, things take off. That's because for babies, play is work: Everything they do helps them to develop language, reasoning, fine- and gross motor skills, and more. And as they get more interesting, so do their toys. So be prepared to join in, and have fun!

Very pretty to look at in all their yellow splendor, but once that's gone what's left is all those seeds waiting to pounce.Somewhere I read about a homemade solution to eliminate them. Kill is such a harsh word, but that is the bottom line.Something along the lines of dishsoap and vinegar perhaps. Any recipes out there to share?
Hope I'm not too late on this post, but there's a few ways to go about killing those little pests. Vinegar definitely works, but only temporarily. And no matter what, the dandelions will most likely come back. My homemade solution is:1. Boil water, the heat will kill the dandelions and get them loose, but probably won't kill anything else, especially a lawn.2. Get yourself a forked hoe and try and get the VERY bottom roots. Once you get the root out, try to fish the rest of the pieces out and any visible seeds; this takes a lot of effort, but pays off once the task is completed.3. Replace or fill any dirt you need to with a layer of mulch, this will help your other plants/lawn while blocking the weeds from getting sunlight.4. After this is all said and done I DOUSE the soil with 5% vinegar, as this again won't kill a lawn.Keep strong girl!

What Types Of Body Jewellery Are There?
The most popular types of body jewellery are often thought of as barbells. These pieces of metal come in three main forms. Firstly, straight barbells which, as the name suggests, fit any piercing which can handle a straight line bar, while the curved and circular varieties are designed to be put in piercings which arent able to support a straight bar.
Another very popular types of body jewellery is a BCR, otherwise known as a ball closure ring, which is a popular addition to any piercing which is able to support a ring. While there are some piercings which cannot use a ring under any circumstances, some are dependent on the shape of an individuals body as to whether or not a ring will fit.
More Alternative Types Of Body Jewellery Are Available
With different types of piercings comes different types of body jewellery, and there are a wide range of other sorts available here at Blue Banana. Our labret studs collection, for example, are ideal for any lip piercings including snake bites, spider bites and Monroe piercings.

Question 1: To what extent must a motor carrier review a driver's overall driving record to comply with the requirements of §391.25?
Guidance: The motor carrier must consider as much information about the driver's experience as is reasonably available. This would include all known violations, whether or not they are part of an official record maintained by a State, as well as any other information that would indicate the driver has shown a lack of due regard for the safety of the public. Violations of traffic and criminal laws, as well as the driver's involvement in motor vehicle accidents, are such indications and must be considered. A violation of size and weight laws should also be considered.
Question 2: Is a driver service or leasing company that is not a motor carrier permitted to perform annual reviews of driving records (§391.25) on the drivers it furnishes to motor carriers?
Guidance: The driver service or leasing company may perform annual reviews if designated by a motor carrier to do so.
Question 3: May motor carriers use third parties to ask State agencies for copies of driving records to be examined during the carrier's annual review of each driver's record?
Guidance: Yes. Although an examination of the official driving record maintained by the State is not required during the annual review, motor carriers that choose to do so may use third-party agents, such as driver information services or companies, to obtain the information. However, the motor carrier is responsible for ensuring the information is accurate.
Question 4: Does the use of a third-party computerized system that provides motor carriers with a complete department of motor vehicle report for every State in which the driver held a commercial motor vehicle operatorís license or permit when a driver is enrolled in the system, and then automatically provides an update anytime the State licensing agency enters new information on the driving record, satisfy the requirements of §391.25?
Guidance: Yes. Since motor carriers would be provided with complete department of motor vehicle report for every State in which the driver held a commercial motor vehicle operator's license or permit when a driver is enrolled in the system, and the provided with an update any time the State licensing agency enters new information on the driving record, the requirements of §391.25(a) would be satisfied. When the motor carrier manager reviews the information on the driving record, and the License Monitor system records the identity of the manger who conducted the review, the requirements of §391.25(b) and (c) would be satisfied.
With regard to the requirement that the response from each State agency, and a note identifying the person who performed the review, may be maintained in the driver's qualification files, motor carriers may satisfy the record keeping requirement by using computerized records in accordance with 49 CFR 390.31. Section allows all records that do not require signatures to be maintained through the use of computer technology provided the motor carrier can produce, upon demand, a computer printout of the required data. Therefore, motor carriers using an automated computer system would not be required to maintain paper copies of the driving records, or a note identifying the person who performed the review, in each individual driver qualification file provided a computer printout can be produced upon demand of a Federal or State enforcement official.

About environmental sustainability
With more than seven billion people seeking greater prosperity worldwide, balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability calls for innovation and leadership. Working towards a more sustainable world, HP Living Progress responds to this challenge by improving the efficiency of our products and solutions, supply chain, and operations. By combining the expertise of our people, our innovative technology portfolio, and collaborative partnerships, we are working to create solutions that reduce environmental impact and expand opportunities.
We are working with our customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to develop and share solutions that streamline and replace resource-intensive processes. We will move our business forward by reducing HP's own environmental footprint while helping people prosper and companies thrive.
Our approach has three pillars, as shown in this diagram:
Our products and solutions help people achieve more with fewer resources and less waste. This enhances how our customers live and work while helping them reduce their environmental impact. We strive to improve the environmental performance of products and solutions across our portfolio—from single-user personal computing devices and printers to enterprise servers, storage equipment, and data centers. Over a five-year period, HP reduced energy consumption of our product portfolio by 50% on average.
We also offer a wide range of services and solutions that help customers improve their environmental performance. Customers can use our free online Carbon Footprint Calculator to compare products and identify steps to reduce the environmental impact and cost of computing and printing. Our free Power Advisor tool does a similar job for customers who use HP servers.
From end users to entire organizations, enterprises can get what they need from HP to improve environmental performance and meet their business goals. Customers also rely on HP solutions and expertise for insight into how their IT systems and even their entire enterprise can perform better while using fewer resources. With HP, enterprises can reengineer processes and transform their businesses to create faster, more cost-effective, and sustainable ways to work and serve their customers.
Learn more in Products and solutions.
We look beyond the use of our products to also measure and improve environmental performance with partners throughout our supply chain and the IT industry as a whole, from sourcing, manufacturing, and shipping all the way through to return and recycling. Working with suppliers and other companies, we also continue to improve our return and recycling programs to expand availability, reduce waste, and capture value from used technology products.
Learn more in Supply chain responsibility and Product return and recycling.
We're improving the performance of our operations by deploying many of our most promising technologies to reduce our own footprint and drive sustainable growth. Managing our global operations responsibly is a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental sustainability, and it strengthens our business. We work to reduce our consumption of energy, water, paper, and other resources and to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through new programs and technologies as well as sustainable facility design.
Learn more in HP operations.
HP believes it is in the interest of society and business to limit global temperature increase by the end of this century to avoid the most severe environmental, social, and economic impacts of climate change. Governments, businesses, and other organizations must meet the challenges of climate change with ingenuity and through the power of information technology.
See HP's Climate Change Policy.
During 2012 we completed a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis to better understand the impact of our company and our products. HP is among the first companies globally to publish this level of information. This builds on years of leadership in this area. For example, in 2008 HP became the first major IT company to measure and publish aggregated supply chain GHG emissions.

HP's product reuse and recycling programs, which recovered 159,550 tonnes of hardware and supplies in 2012, reduce and potentially make this impact net positive. For example, through our "closed loop" recycling process, Original HP ink and LaserJet toner cartridges are reduced to raw materials that can then be used (along with recycled plastic from bottles) to make new cartridges as well as other metal and plastic products.

Our analysis followed the guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol developed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development. Ernst & Young has assured the results and we detail our methodology and assumptions in our carbon accounting manual. The results will inform our climate change strategy moving forward.

The high-volume product lines include notebook and desktop computers, inkjet and LaserJet products, and industry-standard servers.
2 Emissions from Facilities and Transportation fleet (Scope 1 and Scope 2) are from 2012. Emissions in the other categories included in this graphic (Scope 3) are from 2011. To calculate Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, HP has followed the principles outlined in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Ernst & Young has assured HP's global Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions for the years noted.

Judge James T. Murphy, at age 78
James T. Murphy of Hackensack, who was a judge for more than three decades, died Sunday in West Palm Beach, Fla., after a brief illness. He was 78.
Judge Murphy sat in Superior Court in Hackensack from 1984 to 2000. He previously heard juvenile and workers' compensation cases and also was a Municipal Court judge in Edgewater.
While serving in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in 1983, Judge Murphy ordered three 16-year-old boys accused of causing a fatal train crash in Fair Lawn to stand trial as adults. Two of the boys subsequently admitted throwing the switch that caused a Conrail commuter train to derail and smash into a pasta factory, killing the engineer, and agreed to testify against the third youth. That youth was convicted of aggravated manslaughter; all three served time in a youth correctional facility.
Judge Murphy played a pivotal role in a protracted vote-counting case that riveted Alpine. After Paul Tomasko, a Democrat, unseated the borough's Republican mayor, Lawrence Manus, by one vote in 1998, Manus challenged the result. Tomasko was sworn as mayor in the meantime, and in April 1999 Judge Murphy presided over an 18-day trial in which both sides challenged the integrity of the absentee ballots. Judge Murphy declared Tomasko the winner after subtracting disqualified ballots from the vote totals, a decision that the Appellate Division affirmed 18 months later.
In retirement, Judge Murphy was associated with Melli, Guerin, Wall and Frankland in Paramus. He also served as a hearing officer.
Judge Murphy, a New York City native, is survived by his wife, Mary; daughters Meaghan Murphy of Hackensack and Kathleen Thiel of Collegeville, Pa.; a sister, Eileen Monahan of Wyckoff, and one grandchild.
Visiting will be Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at G. Thomas Gentile Funeral Service, Hackensack. The funeral Mass will be said Saturday at 10 a.m. at St. Peter the Apostle R.C. Church, River Edge.
