Fantasy Armor Study and Rendering 2
Saturday Night Sketch
Fantasy Armor Study and Rendering
Armor Study (right):
Applying studies:
Hey guys, these are the studies I said I would do as preparation for the Fantasy Armor 2 video. There are going to be 3 parts to it:
Fantasy Armor 1: Starting a piece of armor
Fantasy Armor 2: Rendering,
Fantasy Armor 3: Polishing it.
I did a black and white study of that cool dude at the top of the post, that I suspect Anthony Jones did, but I'm not sure (AJ if you did it, it's awesome :P). And then moved on to apply what I learned from the study. I'll be sharing some of what I learned on the Fantasy Armor 2 livestream tonight if you're interested and you could watch me pickup from where I left off on Fantasy Armor 1.
you can watch it here:
edit: Didn't have enough time to do the livestream tonight, but learned a bit more from studies. That should make the video even better right?! :P. Here is tonight's study from photo ref:
Arachnid Warrior WIP (Demo for Kalen's Class)
Water Spirit

UPDATE: added the third row of treants. done after the reference of branches and trunks. No.11 was intended to look closest to the original design in wow, but still significantly different.

Renovating a Historic Home in Mississippi
Previously buried under decades of neglect, Tere and Mac Thomas's circa-1825 Mississippi home has new stories to tell, thanks to diligent researchand a stunning three-year gut renovation.
By Beth Ann Fennelly
Curious about the history of the home—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—Tere visited the Historic Natchez Foundation, a preservation organization located 25 miles away. Expecting to find records and renderings, at best, she was stunned to discover Laurietta's original fanlights, banister, a porch column, and a mantel in the nonprofit's basement. She also learned that a second mantel had been adorning a fireplace in a nearby house; its owners returned the piece upon hearing of the restoration.
In this photo: Buck—one of the family's five dogs—sits in front of custom kitchen cabinets painted Benjamin Moore's Gentle Cream. The Thomases repurposed cypress wood from another part of the house for the island. The stove is by Wolf; the rugs from Lowe's.

I purchased these ones a few months back - TP-Link TL-PA411KIT 500Mbps Mini Powerline Adapter.. | Ebuyer.com
Have not had any major issues with them, and the connection has been a lot more reliable than the wireless bridge I had going from our router downstairs to my man cave.
I didn't see the point in buying the versions with the gigabit ports since looking at reviews, unless you have them plugged in next to each other you're unlikely to max out the 10/100 port. I'm finding I get around 6-7 MB/s between one connected upstairs and the other downstairs.

Don't think this is the book you're thinking of but I have a copy of 'Parish Life in Eighteenth-Century Scotland: A Review of the Old Statistical Account' by Maisie Steven (1995), which is similarly arranged thematically.

Very funny here in Largs, as there are two first accounts - one by the minister and another by someone so appalled at the minister's half hearted attempt that he produced another, signing himself off as "a friend to statistical enquiries"!Chris Patonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4470566361718935839.post-22521169776332766302010-11-20T03:36:27.152-08:002010-11-20T03:36:27.152-08:00Hi Kirsty, I caught the first half of that, it was...Hi Kirsty, I caught the first half of that, it was an intersting programme. I have a book somewhere which has quotes from the first accounts on topics arranged on a thematic basis. Can't remember title, it's about a hundred years old, and a brilliant read, but it must be in a box somewhere!

The Fall/Winter 2014 collection from London designers Agi & Sam adopts a sleek, mostly monochromatic palette, which takes the form of striped patterns and a gingham check, which is reduced of its typical feminine associations through an oversized design. Simple cuts and minimal shapes are given depth through layering, with a variety of styles of coats rounding off the look. Loose tailoring and light fabrics avoid veering into loungewear territory thanks to sharp necklines, and a splash of bold graphic slogans define Agi & Sam's playful tendencies.

The DJ Max game series is one of the more successful and long-lasting franchises on the PSP, but the best entries in the series are the titles that haven't been released in America.
