PRLog - May 24, 2014 - LOS ANGELES -- Stunning new children's book series highlights the classic tale of the new kid on the block, with the added bonus of a mystery homeless dog. Why is this filthy, floppy-eared homeless dog a mystery? Children want to know!
floppyheadshot_white background
The book is the first in a series aimed at teaching compassion and acceptance to children, not only of the human condition, but also our furry counterparts. The second book in the series, centering on a neglected child, is already written and due out in early October, 2014.
In addition to educating children about life situations, Denise Bloomfield and Diana Starr, the homeschooling authors, are hoping to connect with community animal shelters in the SouthBay to help bring awareness to the need of supporting animal adoption. The character of Floppy has already gained a Facebook following and is linking to adoption agencies in the area.
Readers of "Floppy the Mystery Dog and the New Kid" have expressed great enthusiasm for the book series and have left comments on what they would like to see what the characters do next:
"My 9 yr old was given the book as a present. She said she loved it and it was fun and exciting to read. She read it in less than 30 minutes! She told me: "It needs to be a sequel mom!" lol. She wants to see more of Floppy. I think it was a great book for her too especially since she is in Tommy's shoes sometimes since being the new kid in a small town :/ Thank you for this great book!!! Must read!!!"
Denise and Diana share a passion for early childhood education and look forward to sharing more of their writing with the public. You can find more about them, and their wonderful character, Floppy, at his website, www.floppythemysterydog.com.

"My husband and I took our kids to Daytona for our first time and the condo was amazingly beautiful! It had a gorgeous view and is beautifully decorated! The owners are very sweet and helpful as well!"Guest: Christina B. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 27, 2015View listing
"Excellent location - right on the beach, away from crowd, but close enough to any kind of activity - shopping, dining, entertainment. If you are arriving to Jacksonville or Orlando, be prepared to spent 1.5-2 hours for driving to the property, but it's totally worth it! The property it self is dated and can use some TLC - most of the windows could not be closed properly, none of the doors leading to the back of the house had screen doors (we had to keep doors closed to keep creatures away from the house): master bed room and bath had very unpleasant smell; other bedrooms did not have any rods in the closets to put hangers on; the dryer could use good cleaning (does not work well). But overall, we are pleased with this property. Every day we enjoyed the view of a sunrise and sunset, walked on the beach and enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck.Excellent customer service. We had problem with Wi-Fi during our stay, but this problem was handled very well by the team of Vacation Rental Pros and resolved within reasonable time. Thank you!"Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 15, 2015View listing
"The moment we walked into our 5th floor unit, the tone was already set. The décor was beautiful and the ocean was calling from the grand balcony. Nothing could be lacking, the kitchen was fully supplied and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor pools and the clubhouse. A great place to bring your family, we will certainly choose it again!"Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 23, 2015View listing
"One of the largest and most beautifully decorated condos we have stayed in with a great view of ocean sunrise and river view sunsets. Every room has great decorating details and makes it very much feel like a home, and not just a condo on the beach. It is fully equipped with lots of unexpected even beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, etc. To top it off you have great, responsive and kind owners who you will enjoy renting from. Highly recommend you give this place a try."Guest: Ana T. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 2, 2014View listing

Is chit chat ruining your work life balance?
A few days ago, a panel of women leaders gathered for The Commonwealth Institute South Florida luncheon. During a panel discussion, one of the women leaders , Gillian Thomas, spoke about how she came from the U.K. where meetings are run differently than in the U.S. Mostly, they are more efficient, she said, because they are all business. When she arrived in the U.S., she realized that chit chat is part of most business meetings. "I've had to learn to respect that," she said.
Yet, there is a movement underway to shorten business meetings and eliminate chit chat.
Not long ago, you may recall I wrote about a business owner who does most of his interaction by email. He considers phone calls and in person meetings a huge waste of time, mostly because he abhors chit chat. He calls small talk: "the biggest time waster known to man."
And, plenty of productivity gurus will tell you that chit chat wreaks havoc on our work life balance because it makes meetings and phone calls longer and distracts us from getting work done.
Still, I'm a big proponent of chit chat. To me, it's what makes the person sitting next to you more human. From a business perspective chit chat helps you find common ground with a client or co-worker. Getting to know someone on a more personal level makes them more likely to want to work with you. It makes them see you as a whole person and often it makes them respect your personal life that much more.
Have you ever worked with someone who was all business? I have and while I was extremely efficient when I work with them or for them, I didn't feel motivated to give any extra effort.
Not long ago I heard a businesswoman tell her story about how she landed a seat on a prestigious all-male board of a major corporation. She had played hockey in college and was a huge fan of the local NHL team. The chairman of the board was a big hockey fan too. During the interview process, they had chit chatted about hockey. It disarmed the man and made him see this woman as someone who could fit in. The male candidates who interviewed for the board seat had avoided chit chat but the woman, who also had amazing credentials, stood out.
I've noticed that small talk can lead to a variety of positive outcomes, from a merely pleasant exchange to the signing of multimillion-dollar business deal. It's a way to connect and while it may seem like a time drain to some, likeability is a key factor in getting hired, promoted or engaged as a vendor. And what determines a large portion of your likeability? You guessed it: your ability to small talk.
At the same TCI luncheon last week, the panelists were asked about their leadership styles. Alex Villoch publisher of The Miami Herald, said her style is all about getting out of her office and chit chatting with staff. "When you stay in your office, people will come in and tell you want they think you want to hear," she said. By roaming around and talking to employees, Villoch says she picks up small tidbits that often lead to big ideas.
Some of us feel guilty about wasting time at work. I say, go ahead and build chit chat into your workday. Good leaders do it, good networkers do it, good team builders do it. Small talk matters. That's something to consider next time you feel annoyed by a simple "How's your day going?"

Injury Rumors
Ryan Anderson: My last shootaround for the season. Leaving for surgery tomorrow. The road ahead starts now instagram.com/p/mYKaeYtVnD/
Ian Begley: Asked Grunwald if he's confident Carmelo can heal fully without surgery: "We hope so. Melo's a hard worker…. So far, so good." #Knicks
Speaking to the media for the first time since Kobe Bryant tore his left Achilles tendon Friday in Los Angeles, Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo came to the defense of Mike D'Antoni Sunday afternoon before the Nets faced the Raptors. "Sure," Carlesimo said when asked if Bryant's injury impacted his thought process about playing his stars in the season's final few games. "But guys get hurt in practice. "It's an unfortunate thing. I think the bigger thing, the one that really hurts, is late in the game. That's the one you agonize over. How big a lead is a safe lead, when do you get guys off the floor? … That's the one you really can't afford to have people in there when it's unnecessary. "When you're playing for a playoff position, and in particular you're playing a guy that would play 48 minutes if you'd let him, I think there's been a lot of unfair commentary directed towards Mike. The only way you get Kobe off the floor is if you pull him off the floor."
Jonny Flynn is scheduled for surgery in Colorado today to fix that hip that bothered him the end of last season and kept him out of Las Vegas Summer League games. Don't know yet exactly what the nature of the injury is yet, but that 3 to 4 month timeline first reported by YahooSports! last night sounds right.
Following knee surgery Bryant is letting his body reboot instead of putting it through the usual out of season paces. "The hardest thing for me to do is to do nothing," he said. "I have always got to be working and pushing myself. This summer is really the best training for me — to do nothing. The body needs rest and the injury has to heal. You have to recharge your body and get ready for next season. So in lots of ways, this is the hardest training for me."
Colangelo went on to elaborate: "Whether he was mentally checked out or just wasn't quite into it down the stretch, he wasn't the same guy. I think everybody saw that, but no one wanted to acknowledge it." "At the same time, I never felt we were quite in the game (in terms of signing Bosh to a new contract). There was too much out there, too much built up for him to take an easy out here, and he decided to do that."
Colangelo intoned that Bosh took a long time to return from injury even though he had been medically cleared and that he started thinking ahead to his future to the detriment of the Raptors. "Despite limited swelling and any excessive damage on an MRI, he felt like he needed to sit for six more games … I'm not even questioning Chris' injury. I'm telling you he was cleared to play subject to tolerance on his part, and the tolerance just apparently wasn't there and he chose not to play," Colangelo said. "The fact that our season was spiralling downward and we were hoping he'd come back sooner and we were also dealing with a few other things at that point … we were really struggling there."
Rookie point guard Greivis Vasquez didn't have a good showing at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. It turns out that the 6-6 player out of Maryland might have somewhat of an excuse. Vasquez is dealing with an ankle injury that the team's doctors are expected to evaluate this week. It is possible that Vasquez might require surgery. Vasquez struggled with running the team's offense and other NBA nuances during summer league play. The Griz remain optimistic about his competitive spirit, ability to score and the size he brings to the position.
"Absolutely. It's a possibility," Kupchak said. "It's not your run of the mill type back problem. We don't know where it's going to end up. He's a gamer and he loves to play. He wants to be a part of the team, and he'll do whatever it takes to get back on the court. That's a positive, to have the kind of player that's motivated to get well. That's not always the case." Without Walton available, Kobe Bryant served as the primary backup to Ron Artest at small forward last season. Barnes, a seven-year veteran from UCLA, played 81 games with the Orlando Magic last season, averaging 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 25.9 minutes. Only days before, Barnes was thought to be headed for Toronto, but a sign-and-trade deal with the Magic fell through, again putting him on the market.
The Lakers are happy to have additional depth at small forward, signing free agent Matt Barnes to a two-year contract Thursday. Unfortunately, the arrival of Barnes in Los Angeles only highlights serious questions surrounding the health of Luke Walton heading into next season. Walton was limited to a career-low 29 games during the 2009-10 regular season because of back problems debilitating enough to require surgery. General manager Mitch Kupchak said Friday that Walton will work through the summer to rehabilitate and build strength in his back but acknowledged the prospect of future surgery still exists, and even that Walton could miss the 2010-11 season.
Still, there was palpable concern for Walton. "The most important thing is that Luke make the correct decision for his life, not for basketball," he said. "The aging process of a healthy athlete is difficult enough as it is. So we counsel Luke, and our trainers do, to try to keep the big picture in the forefront of any decision. But like most young players they want to play. Sometimes they don't [listen.]"
The Lakers haven't indicated if Bryant will have surgery on the finger. Bryant is finally starting to show signs of slowing down after playing more than 1,200 games and 45,000 minutes in the regular season and postseason combined in his 14-year career. Bryant sat out nine games last season because of his knee, finger and left ankle injuries, ending his consecutive games played streak at 235 in February, which was the fifth-longest streak among current NBA players at the time. Knee surgery is causing Bryant to miss out on international competition again, as USA Basketball held tryouts this week in preparation for the 2010 FIBA World Championships in Turkey without him. "Kobe needs to rest," said Lakers teammate Lamar Odom, who is expected to make the USA team.
The Los Angeles Lakers announced Friday that Kobe Bryant recently had arthroscopic surgery performed on his right knee. The surgery was performed last week and deemed to be a success. Bryant is in the midst of rehab, and a full recovery is expected in time for the Lakers' training camp, which is set to begin on Sept. 25. It is the third time Bryant has had the knee surgically repaired. It was first done in the summer of 2003, and then in the summer of 2006, causing him to miss the FIBA World Championships in Japan as a member of USA Basketball.
Hammond emphasized that it was the organization's responsibility to continue to support Redd as he continues to rehab in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and that the Bucks will continue to do so regardless of what the future may hold for him. "You never leave a player out to dry," said Hammond. "You support him and that's what we want to do with him and be there for him when he needs us. I know the guy is working extremely hard and it's tough what he's going through right now. " People need to understand that too. You talk about Michael and the state of the organization and those sorts of things and I understand it's discussed. But it's tough what he's going through right now. It's really, really, really hard.
For the second straight summer, Redd is trying to come back from major knee surgery but this time he apparently won't even try to re-join the team until February. "We just say February, but there's not a February date per se," said Hammond during a press conference to introduce newcomer Jon Brockman. "It could be before or it could be after. I think it's just somewhat of a targeted date but who knows when that's going to be? "But at the end of the day, all we're doing is supporting Michael as he continues to go through this process and supporting him through the re-hab. He knows we're there for him. I know he's working as hard as he possibly can to get himself back. There's no doubt in my mind that he wants to continue his NBA career and he's got a long road ahead of him to get to that point."
First-round pick Greg Monroe said he wanted to impress the Pistons' brass early. Apparently, he has done so already. Monroe underwent minor surgery to his right foot on an injury that dated to high school, and he should be ready in well enough time for training camp. Doctors advised Monroe to skip summer league, but he refused and played better as summer league progressed. He had 27 points and 14 rebounds in his last outing.
Boston Celtics rookie Avery Bradley is walking again after undergoing a scope on his injured left ankle last month and has been working at the team's practice facility in Waltham each day trying to get back on the court as quickly as possible. "I'm just trying to recover," said Bradley, the Texas guard selected at No. 19 in this year's draft. "I'm doing rehab, lifting weights, trying to get back as fast as possible. It's been real good. I'm able to walk now. I'm getting better every single day."
Greg Monroe underwent outpatient surgery on his right foot this morning and will begin rehabilitation immediately, the Detroit Pistons announced today. Monroe, the seventh overall pick in the NBA draft, is expected to resume full basketball activities in three to four weeks.
Golden State Warriors forward David Lee will miss the world championships because of a finger injury, USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told Yahoo! Sports. Lee dislocated the middle finger on his right hand during the first day of Team USA's minicamp on Tuesday. He is not expected to need surgery, but will be sidelined from four to six weeks.
"We're very disappointed as much for him as for us," Colangelo said of Lee, who flew to California to be examined Wednesday morning by Warriors doctors. "He wanted to play right now. He wanted to come back right now but there's no way we would allow him to do that because he's not going to have surgery. And the splint will take care of it. But he has to be in a splint for about six weeks. Because, if he did play and he hit that finger again, that would be surgery. So we're not going to do that."
Tyreke Evans became the second casualty during the opening day of Team USA's week-long training camp at UNLV. The young Kings star said he "tweaked" his left ankle when he went up to pass and came down on Tyler Zeller's foot. (Zeller is among the collegians competing here against the NBA stars vying for roster spots on the 2010 World Championships team. Evans iced the ankle for several minutes after practice and planned to undergo some treatment later at the hotel. He is hopeful of being able to practice Tuesday.
David Lee injured his right middle finger Tuesday during his first practice with Team USA, an injury significant enough that he planned to immediately fly back to Oakland to be examined by the Golden State Warriors' medical staff. Lee said the injury occurred when he went up to block a shot and jammed his finger against the bottom of the backboard. "I looked down and my finger was completely turned to the side," Lee said. "It's possibly a tendon or a dislocation of some sort. It's something I've got to go have looked at either way.
Andrew Bynum will undergo surgery July 28 to mend the torn meniscus in his right knee, the Lakers announced on their website. Bynum suffered the tear during the Lakers' opening-round playoff victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in April. His strength and mobility suffered as did his production, but he did not miss a playoff game as the Lakers went on to win their second consecutive NBA title. He averaged 8.6 points and 6.9 rebounds in the playoffs, down from his regular-season totals of 15 points and 8.3 rebounds. Bynum's surgery was said to be minor and he is expected to be fit by the start of training camp in late September.

An experimental drug created to treat Ebola made by the San Diego-based biotech firm Mapp Biopharmaceuticals Inc. had its first three doses used to treat two Americans and a Spanish missionary, and is now on its way to Liberia after the World Health Organization (WHO) unanimously concluded that it is ethical to offer experimental medication to fight Ebola.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The two Americans, Dr. Ken Brantly and Nancy Writebol, are recovering, though Spanish priest Miguel Pajares died early in the morning of August 12.
These people are your brothers and your sisters under God. They need your help!
"The large number of people affected by the 2014 west Africa outbreak, and the high case-fatality rate, have prompted calls to use investigational medical interventions to try to save the lives of patients and to curb the epidemic," WHO said in a statement released on August 12.
WHO reports that it believes 1,848 people have been infected, and 1,013 have been killed, making it the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history. This is because traditional methods of stopping the spread of the virus are not working, and the health care systems of the affected countries are comparatively weak said Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, WHO's assistant director-general.
More than 1,000 people have died in this Ebola epidemic that has been going on since early 2014.

Recent Windwood Bay reviews
"Our family (6 adults, 3 children ages 8, 5 and 20 months) had a great stay in your villa! The house is very spacious and we never felt crowded. The pool was a great hit with everyone. We could get to Disney and Sea World within minutes (10-20 minutes respectively). The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. The house was clean and well kept. The Management Service was prompt and very helpful with any questions. We would definetely stay here again. Highly recommended."Guest: Captain Cocoa Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 12, 2015View listing
"This is the perfect house for a family vacation. My husband and I stayed for an entire month. We were lucky to have our son and his wife, our daughter, my parents, and my brother join us for a week of our stay. Having 3 suites made it absolutely perfect. The additional 1/2 bath out by the pool is perfect for a second bath on the first floor. We found the home to be very clean and well equipped. All of the bedding was replaced April of 2015. So, you will find it very lightly used and very modern. All of the appliances are new as of April 2015, as well. No worries, we got them warmed up for you. They all worked wonderfully and boy did we give them a workout when the entire family was there. The pool and hot tub were perfect. I would advise that you turn the hot tub on about 30 min to an hour before you get in to make sure that it's good and warm. The pool is cleaned and maintained weekly by a pool service. No worry, they come in and leave without you even knowing. The yard is well cared for and is also maintained frequently. The neighbors are very nice. The only challenge with this home is the parking. I know that the owner has no way of fixing this issue but it really is a problem if you have more than 2 vehicles. The developer obviously did not consider the fact that they were building homes that sleep 10-20 people and only making driveways that accommodate two cars. The number of cars in the street can make it difficult to navigate in and out of the neighborhood. But, we made it work. There are also games in the garage that we did not use. The garage is not climate controlled and we had no desire to be in a hot box playing pool. My advise would be to get rid of the games and allow for the garage to be used for additional parking. However, WE LOVED OUR STAY IN THIS HOME!!! We will absolutely return and recommend to our friends."Guest: Jodi B. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: June 9, 2015View listing
"This house can easily accommodate 14 people LOTS of room and rooms are spacious. It was nice having multiple master suites. Location was outstanding for all the parks. Just a short 15 minute drive and easy access to restaurants and grocery store. Pool was decent and fairly clean. The pictures are mostly accurate. There is a little more wear on the house than the photos show but we were very pleased with our experience. We weren't at the house much and did little cooking so I can't speak to the supplies for the kitchen. We would certainly consider this house again in the future."Guest: Keckzoo Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 26, 2015View listing
"Thanks again Shirley for a wonderful time at your home. The kids really enjoyed themselves. They were so happy to see Alexander the Gator and see he had a friend who loved to be in the pool. Everything was top notch! Looking forward to booking again.

Oreck Magnesium RS LW1500RS Vacuum Cleaner
Weighing in at nearly 8 pounds, the Oreck Magnesium RS was a favorite amongst consumers and the top-scoring lightweight vacuum cleaner in our test. It did a great job picking up debris from carpet and bare floors and even picked up pet hair from carpet. The Oreck was easy to maneuver around furniture thanks to its swivel neck and it lies flat to clean under low furniture and the bed. It can be powered on from the handle too — a nice extra. Keep in mind: This vacuum does not come equipped with dusting, crevice, or upholstery tools.

DEFINITION of 'Long-Term Capital Gain Or Loss'
A gain or loss from a qualifying investment owned for longer than 12 months and then sold. The amount of an asset sale that counts toward a capital gain or loss is the difference between the sale value and the purchase value. Long-term capital gains are assigned a lower tax rate than short-term capital gains in the United States.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Long-Term Capital Gain Or Loss'
Capital gains and losses can be netted out in any given tax year and up to the first $3,000 of any net gain or loss can be carried over into future years.
For example, let's say that an investor sells three stocks during the calendar year, all of which were held for several years. The first stock is sold for a loss of $3,000, the second is sold for a $2,500 gain and the third is sold for a $4,000 gain. If the investor makes no other sales during the year, he will have a net gain of $3,500 for the year (-$3,000 + $2,500 + $4,000 = $3,500). The first $3,000 of long-term gains could be carried over into the next year, but the remaining $500 in gains would be taxed that year at the prevailing rate.

Thread: Cut and Paste Critiques
December 29th, 2008 #1
Cut and Paste CritiquesCut and Paste Critiques
I am putting this thread together for people to use as a starting point for many commonly used critiques as well as some things to keep in mind to look for while critiquing work and remember when creating their own pieces. I am hoping that people use these to start a critique, and then expand on it to make it relevant to the piece.
I am also hoping that this can become a helpful topic for newer people to see what are common pitfalls for artists in hope of possibly avoiding them in their own art.
I hope to update this one frequently. I have a lot more which I will add when I get more time.
DeviantArt vs. Conceptart
Don't take it personally, just take it seriously.
I am adding this because I keep seeing new members to the site migrate from DA to CA.org and are shocked at the style of critiquing found in these forums. DA can be a great place, but much of the time I have found what they call critiquing to be a little soft and overly flattering. "Wonderful", "Amazing" and "Can I worship/marry/serve you" are comments rarely found here. Instead, what you will receive is extremely hard hitting, often times painfully accurate advice as to the many, many things wrong in the piece in an attempt to make better art, and better artists.
Remember that the people in this section are not getting paid for their help, and the lessons they are sharing with you sometimes cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of trial and error to learn the gems they are giving away for free. My art education cost me over $140,000 and 5 years of my life with little to no sleep... for the duration of the 5 years. You don't have to agree with every critique, but at least respect the intent in which it is given.
Just to clarify in case people take it the wrong way, I am not intending to bash DA at all. Just noticing the differences in styles.

After lurking around the forums here for years, I have seen so many people suggesting so many different books to study, so I am going to try adding an essential library reading list at the bottom of each section. Might as well start with Loomis.
The Art of the Critique
Right before I posted this thread, I was working on a similar thread that I thought would be very helpful in this forum too, but since it was not stickied it got buried pretty quickly. I definitely think that it is also worth reading and adding to if you like this thread. It is all about how you should approach a critique, both from the viewpoint of giving a crit as well as from the viewpoint of receiving one.
Please feel free to jump on over and give it a read.

December 29th, 2008 #2ANATOMY
I have read a number of responses to critiques regarding anatomy that say things like "the anatomy isn't wrong, it is just under baggy clothes". Just because we can't see actual skin doesn't mean we don't understand the underlying structure.
One of the most frequent comments I have seen in the forums lately is "Study Loomis". So... STUDY LOOMIS!
Manga artists are usually well versed in both realistic human anatomy and proportions, as well as environmental perspective and architectural drafting since that is what is commonly taught in Japanese art classes. Stylization is great, but you have to know correct anatomy and proportions to understand how to stylize it.
Breaking anatomy down into basic shapes such as cylinders and boxes greatly helps one to understand the 3d form that the body is made up of. {Muzzoid}
POSE and GESTURE
A figure's balance is based on the center of gravity, so if the character is leaning in one direction, to be balanced, enough weight must be pushed in the other direction. One can gain a better idea of a figures balance if they extend a vertical line from the figures feet, and up through the center of gravity. {Muzzoid}
An appealing and flowing pose has to have a good rhythm, to achieve a good rhythm an artist can base the figure on simple smooth and flowing lines, and build up the complex forms around this simple line. {Muzzoid}
Always reference from life or a photo, avoid referencing someone else's work as you will end up copying their mistakes. {Ayem}

December 29th, 2008 #3LIGHTING / SHADING
Other than anatomical problems, I think lighting problems are the most common comments when artists post their work for critique here. When taking something past the sketch stage and starting to flush out the form, consistent and deliberate lighting is crucial to creating a believable, finished-looking piece.
It will really help keep your lighting consistent if you add arrows to the piece telling you where the lights are and their direction. If the light source is visible within the piece, you can draw lines on a separate layer radiating out to see what is being hit by the light and what would fall into shadow. Doing this will really help if you are using multiple light sources, have really complicated overlapping forms or if you have large gaps between painting sessions where you could forget the original intent.
I think adding a rim light to the character will help to pop it out and add depth to the piece. It doesn't take much.
The piece feels really flat because it is lacking any believable/dynamic lighting. Remember that form is shown through shadow.
A warm light source has a cool shadow and a cool light source has a warm one. Showing this in your work will help add depth to the piece.
When dealing with highlights, remember that the wetter something is, the sharper the edges of the highlight will be.
A light from where the viewpoint is should be avoided because it flattens out the forms. {Muzzoid}
Light bounces, and it takes the colour of the object it hits along with it. Adding in bounce lighting does two things, it helps unify the colour scheme by creating more complex colour mixes and it helps to make the lighting system more believable. {Muzzoid}
Try and study naturalistic lighting setups; it is rare to see a character under a single strong light source, and because of that it makes a characters believability a lot weaker. {Muzzoid}
Light travels in straight lines until it hits something. If there's no possible way a certain light source can hit something, don't light it. {Ayem}
When dealing with different light sources (bounced light, diffused, etc) try and get the major light source looking right BEFORE you move onto anything else. Then proceed to do each different light source one by one. Doing things in stages will make it much easier. {Ayem}
COMPOSITION, RHYTHM and FLOW
Try offsetting your focal point from the center, it's keeping our eyes glued there and you want to have some kind of movement throughout the whole painting. {Chagan}
Identify the points of interest in the painting and try to establish some kind of visual rhythm that keeps our eyes moving around the piece. {Chagan}
There is too much going on in the piece and it is hard to understand what we are looking at.
--- Use contrast, gesture, saturation, value, etc...
--- Use frame in frame (foreground elements that create a framing element inside the picture)
--- Use vectors (lines in the piece, blades of grass, etc. aimed at the focal point will subtly direct like arrows)
--- Use leading looks (when someone in your piece is looking a certain way, the viewer tends to look where that character is looking, creating flow)
... to create focal points and flow.

December 29th, 2008 #4COLOR
I think it is too early for you to be thinking about color. Work monochrome for now and try to get the form, anatomy and proportions better first.
Your skin colors appear too yellow/orange. The character look jaundiced.
Don't mix your warms and cools, it creates a muddy look and takes away from the form. {Chagan}
It is hard to give an accurate color critique when you use white as a background. Try throwing in a background color / texture / image and start from that.
If possible, avoid using pure black or pure white... especially when doing shadows or highlights because it tends to flatten out the form.
If you are going to do an extremely dark background behind an extremely dark character with extremely dark clothing and extremely dark hair, you might want to add a rim light to show us at least a hint at the character's silhouette, otherwise everything becomes lost. It is like Calvin drawing a polar bear in a snow storm blinking.
TECHNIQUE, PROCESS and APPLICATION
Working on an image part by part ends up usually looking fairly inconsistent, and the result is a much weaker image. Instead, try working on an image and bringing it up in stages of polish, this yields much better results.{Muzzoid}
Don't work at the same zoom size all the time, and don't work too zoomed in on details, try to understand the overall feel of the picture. {Gaussian Raider}
If everything looks so blurry and you're wondering why, try to use harder brushes. {Gaussian Raider}

December 29th, 2008 #5MOVEMENT
I had to add a movement list for the people who work in animation so as to recommend this book.
Draw from observation as much as possible. If you carry a bag frequently, have a sketchbook in it. If you don't carry a bag, get a small sketchbook and keep it in a pocket. Draw what you see, how you see it. Drawing from life will help you learn the foundations of structure that will let you draw from your imagination for more believable works.
Do plenty of studies from George Bridgman, Andrew Loomis, and any other figure drawing teachers that work for you. While drawing from life is irreplaceable, you need to know how to analyze what you're looking so that you know what to put on paper. {Chagan}
I would recommend picking one of them to have us critique thoroughly and start a sketchbook topic to show the rest of your work. You can post a link to your sketchbook in your signature. It takes time to critique even one image, and when there are so many images in front of us we can't really focus on any problem.

1) Identify the points of interest in the painting and try to establish some kind of rhythm to keep our eyes moving around.
2) There's too much going on all over the drawing/painting. Use contrast and gesture to create focal points.
3) Try offsetting your focal point from the center, it's keeping our eyes glued there and you want to have some kind of movement throughout the whole painting.
Those are the 3 I end up stating most of the time...

Hm.. I always end up telling people to remember that light does more than just illuminate things. There's no such thing as just light. What colour is it? What does it do to your subject? What does it do to the surrounding area? What source does it come from (is it.. organic, mechanic, fire, car?) And so on and so forth. If done well, it'll tell as much a story about your picture as the subject does (or maybe that's me wishful thinking).
Also, lighting consistency. If a big bright light illuminates your subject, it sure as heck will have to light everything around it to (usually)
Lately I've also been checking up on some people's perspective lines. It's nice to have a basic grid built up somewhere to check on your perspective once in a while. Even if the error is minute, people often get a gut feeling that it's awkward.
Also, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Don't be afraid to experiment. Don't be afraid to step away sometimes. Don't be afraid to let go and let your hand instead of your mind to do the work. And so on, I suppose.
Oh, and kill your darlings if you have to.
(even if you've worked so hard on something and it looks so pretty, if the picture is better without it, take it out.)
I think I say these ones fairly often -ahem-.

Try breaking form down into 3 categories of lines. Straight lines, S curves and C curves.
try using graphic shapes. The most realistic and dynamic paintings are a bunch of simple graphic shapes indicating an illusion of realism.
December 30th, 2008 #10
Breaking anatomy down into basic shapes such as cylinders and boxes greatly helps one to understand the 3d form that the body is made up of.
A figures balance is based on the center of gravity, so if the character is leaning in one direction to be balanced, enough weight must be pushed in the other direction to maintain the balance.
One can gain a better idea of a figures balance if they extend a vertical line from the figures feet, and up through the center of gravity.
Rhythm and flow:
An appealing and flowing pose has to have a good rhythm, to achieve a good rhythm an artist can base the figure on simple smooth and flowing lines, and build up the complex forms around this simple line.
Rhythm can be seen in nature everywhere, observe how a plant grows and how it sends out its limbs in directions that create appealing shapes. Also studying how graceful animals, such as a gazelle, or a woman in high heels move can give a much better idea of why we have rhythm and how we apply it, as rhythm is directly linked with flowing movement.
A light from where the viewpoint is, should be avoided because it lights the forms in a way that makes everything appear flat.
Try and study naturalistic lighting conditions, it is rare to see the character under a single strong light source and can make a images believability a lot weaker.
Don't just do the generic strong warm light source, and blue rim light, try something unique.
Light bounces, and it takes the colour of the object it hits along with it. Adding in bounce lighting does two things, it helps unify the colour scheme by creating more complex colour mixes and it helps to make the lighting system more believable.
December 30th, 2008 #11
Though often times I see pieces that need work with regards to perspective, this applies more to figures set into an environment (and figures that lack an environment:
The horizon corresponds with the viewer's eye level. The viewer will be able to see the bottom of an object that is above the horizon, and the top of an object that is below the horizon.
The human figure can be envisioned within a box. Take the perspective of the figure into consideration in the same way that you would a building within a city.
I'll add more to this when I have time.

Let me explain the chapters. Some people are upset that it is "taking so long" for the protagonists in A Scientific Rejection to meet. However, we are not on Chapter twenty. We are only on Chapter Eight. Each of the lettered sub-chapters is a miniature portion of an overall numbered chapter that I did not have time to write all at once. The characters are meeting at the end of chapter eight, so have a little patience, please. The more I try to rush the story, the lower the quality will become. I hope you continue to enjoy the book and, as always, Happy Reading!
I generally plan my updates around my time off, which is on weekends. My goal is to update at least twice per month. However, as you have already seen, I often update sooner than expected. I love seeing the read count go up, but even more, I love interacting with fans and knowing that they appreciate all of my hard work. You don't have to love every chapter. Please tell me when I miss the mark (politely), so that I may improve.

Hello Noelle34, I have been a faithful follower of "A Scientific Rejection" since I first found Wattpad. I will admit that I do not comment as much as I should. I have kept the story in my library and have reread it often. I am constantly hoping to find an update. However, I understand that life has a tendency to take time away from your writing... I also hope that you understand that you have loyal readers and fans out there that miss your stories. I am currently crossing my fingers, in the hopes that you intend to finish the story. If I am to be entirely honest- I feel you could write a series of books based around this world of " Origins and Alpha Rex's". Just as J.R. Ward, Shelly Laurenston, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, C.L. Wilson, Lora Leigh, and Gena Showalter,;have done with the amazing worlds of fantasy, science fiction and love that they have created. Not only do I feel that you would be successful in the endeavor, I feel you would be wildly so. I also would spend money to buy your books. I truly hope you will continue this story. If you don't intend to finish it on this site...please inform us of where you plan to publish it...and I will be one of the first in line to read and or purchase it. I hope that everything in your life is going well. And I hope to see info on or an update of "A Scientific Rejection". Thanks.:-)
