Need some advice (Beginner) WIP - Moon
Hey everyone.
So it has been awhile since I was last here, still getting use to this new design so apologise if I mess up somewhere. Still a beginner and been reading a few art books a long with James Gurney's Colour and Light. I've also been tuning in to LevelUp each week and have bought some Gumroad tutorials while also checking out Concept Cookie.
Anyway, I've been working on this piece now for a while on and off, at first I was practising hard lines within the painting then I kind of lost my way and started experimenting with different brushes; so you could say this entire piece is pure experimental but so far I'm proud of the out come but this is where I need your help... How can I make this pop? Is there anything I should fix and where could I take it from here?
I thought I should also post the last piece I worked on so you can get an idea of my progression so far.
Thanks to you all who take their time to view this thread.

I don't have much time so I will keep it short. Your picture got mid and high range values but it lacks deep shadows.
You made some good progress from the last one though so keep up the good work.

oh, I didn't even notice that, I was working from my colour palette and used the darkest colour for shadow.
Should I take that colour and go darker?

Not necessarily, you may just need to use more of it. The best way to be sure is to check periodically by converting your work to gray-scale.
Look at my progression:

The main question which you must always keep in your mind: Where is your light source? How does its light affect the subject?
August 27th, 2014 #6
So unfortunately my laptop had broken therefore I couldn't get any progress done on this but alas... its back and will update this once I get some work done.
Thanks for all the feed back so far!

So I've been busy working but had a small window to work on this.. didn't do to much but yeah.. also.. god damn hands are extremely difficult!
and yeah.. I done some sketches and studies while my laptop was being repaired
September 1st, 2014 #9
My two cents here.
Hands are damn hard I agree and they can make or break a composition. I think my main advice echoes anrenhaus "Where is your light source?" How many light sources do you want on her. You've got that bright bright moon above her head...think of how that light and, more importantly, how that deep shadow on her hood will be and will it cast a shadow onto her left shoulder. How deep will the shadows be inside her hood? Your painting, the pose, the composition, even her eyes are screaming for some dramatic lighting. Take that risk and intensify those shadows even more. Look at moonlight portraits and see what the light does to skin colour and where the shadows are. Always use real life sources for your work just to see what light should be doing.
By the way, what I find helpful with hands is to ignore the fingers all together at first and concentrate on getting the palm of the hand proportioned, bent and tilted right before I even think of putting the fingers on. I then make sure the knuckles look right. I think you have made the palm a tad too long and the knuckle alignment is a bit off. I believe the average length of the palm (wrist to knuckle of the middle finger) should be from the chin to the end of the nose'ish.
Great painting so far! She's so beautiful you have to finish her. Good Luck!
September 2nd, 2014 #10
Hands are no harder than anything else, IF you know how hands are built and how to break them down into simpler forms.
In other word, study, study, study anatomy. Hard. And do lighting studies, preferably in pencil, lots of them. And join a figure drawing class, too.
September 8th, 2014 #11
ok.. annddd I'm back! Sorry it takes so long to get back to you, I work nights.
Getting great advice here from you guys so thank you for it, I appreciate it a lot.
I tried once again to further this with dramatic lighting but I'm afraid I don't have those skills but I did try so that's something right? Lol. I also worked a little bit on her hand again.. damn things; while also playing around with tattoo idea, still not set on what I want there but I feel her arm needs something. I don't know if this has progressed much but I sort of feel its going somewhere.
Oh.. Also.. back ground? Do I leave as it it or add something in, I was thinking perhaps some trees or a city in the distance.

George Howard (Governor of Maryland)
George Howard (November 21, 1789 – August 2, 1846) was the 22nd Governor of the State of Maryland in the United States from 1831 to 1833. Howard was well known as a fervent anti-Jacksonian during his term in office. He was the only son of a governor to have been elected governor.
He was born on November 21, 1789, in the Governor's Mansion in Annapolis, the second son of Gov. John Eager Howard (1752–1827) and Margaret Oswald "Peggy" Chew.[1] The family later lived at "Belvidere" in Baltimore County, Maryland where he was educated by tutors. On December 26, 1811, he married Prudence Gough Ridgely, a daughter of Gov. Charles Carnan Ridgely (1760–1829) of Hampton and Priscilla Dorsey (1762–1814).[2] Priscilla descended from the Dorsey family of Maryland; one of the original families of Maryland and founders of Anne Arundel County, Maryland.[3] They received "Waverly" near Woodstock, Maryland as a wedding gift from his father.[4] They had fourteen children (nine boys and five girls).[5]
At "Waverly," he led the life of a country gentleman and farmer. He was elected a member of the Governor's Council in January 1831 and worked closely with his predecessor Daniel Martin. When Gov. Martin died in July 1831, Howard, as President of the Council, succeeded him, taking the oath of office on July 22 of that year. When Martin's unexpired term ended in January 1832, the Maryland General Assembly elected Howard for a full-year term, receiving 64 of the 82 ballots cast. He advocated the establishment of a State Bank, opposed the doctrine of nullification, was a foe of lotteries, and urged the endowment of Maryland colleges.[4]
Howard retired to "Waverly" following the end of his term. He served as a presidential elector in 1836 and 1840, when he supported the Whig candidate. He died at his home on August 2, 1846, and was probably buried first in the family burial ground at "Waverly." His remains were later removed to the Western Cemetery. His body was again removed, but its present resting place is unknown. He is believed to be buried in the Howard family vault at Old Saint Paul's Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland, where his father John Eager Howard is also buried.[4] Howard left "Waverly" to his wife, Prudence. She died the following year and willed the estate to the couple's oldest son, George, Jr.[2]
George Howard was painted by C. Gregory Stapko. His wife, Prudence Dorsey, was painted by Philip Tilyard. Her portrait can be found in the collection of Hampton National Historic Site HAMP 5662.[2]

Thankanukkah? How about Hanukkahanksgiving?
Put your tongue twisting word inventions aside because this holiday convergence between Thanksgiving and Hanukkah has already been officially coined as Thanksgivukkah, which for the first time since 1888 will be celebrated on the same day. Whereas Thanksgiving is celebrated for one day on the fourth Thursday in November, Hanukkah (also known as the Festival of Lights) is observed for eight days and begins on the twenty-fifth day of the Jewish month of Kislev (between November and December) in the Hebrew calendar. This year, the first full day of Hanukkah happens to land on the same day as Thanksgiving. It's such a rare occurrence that it will not happen again until another estimated 70,000 plus years.
Though this hybrid holiday may not seem like a big deal for most Americans who only celebrate Thanksgiving, for the Jewish American population, it's a chance to combine both holidays with family in a unique and memorable way. For businesses, Thanksgivukkah will make the biggest shopping season of the year quite different from the usual – from what is sold to bought, all Americans may be finding themselves saying, "Happy Thanksgivukkah!"
Thanksgivukkah Celebrations
Thanksgivukkah has created a marketing frenzy among retailers. Online merchants such as Zazzle and CafePress have been rolling out Thanksgivukkah merchandise from t-shirts, hats, posters, mugs, and even undergarments as they try to cash in on this celebration. Orders for these items have ranged in single digits to multiple larger purchases for those buying for friends or the entire family. For non-Jews, these Thanksgivukkah products have helped the holiday to become a pop culture phenomenon that everyone can participate in and enjoy. Some people have even started a collection of these items to mark the historical event.
Food is always the big topic of conversation during any holiday season. From pumpkin challah to mashed potatoes with horseradish, sites like Allrecipes.com have been quick to release recipes combining great meals together on one plate. While some Jewish Americans are celebrating Thanksgivukkah as one meal, others are recognizing the two holidays separately with two meals for the day. Grocery stores, such as the Illinois based chain Jewel-Osco are getting in the act as well, promoting holiday catering as not only a Thanksgiving affair, but a Thanksgivukkah celebration on their Facebook page.
Earlier Holiday Deals
The coming of Thanksgivukkah also brings about a change in holiday promotions from retailers. In the past, Hanukkah has usually fallen closer to Christmas, but this year that's no longer the case. Hanukkah gifts, which are exchanged for each of the eight days have to be bought earlier than before. This means retailers have had to start sales earlier than usual too.
Jewish Americans constitute only about 2% of the U.S. population or 6.8 million and even though their population size is small, their spending power outweighs typical Americans. According to Pam Goodfellow, a consumer insights director at Prosper Insights & Analytics, Hanukkah shoppers spend an estimated 25% more than than the average holiday shopper and retailers are fully aware of this. Deals for higher priced goods, such as electronics and jewelry are expected to get an early head start.
Sales are also starting much sooner because some retailers are pushing Black Friday sales up one day, starting as early as 6am in stores on Thanksgiving day and all day online. Plus, the shortened holiday shopping season this year only gives shoppers 27 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, adding additional fuel to the heavier push on sales.
An American Celebration
Thanksgivukkah is a crossbreed mix of two well-known holidays celebrated by people living in the United States that represents a time when Americans can come together to be thankful for what they have and appreciate the religious freedom they enjoy. This holiday may be a once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal, but its significance shouldn't be forgotten in the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping. After all, in what other country can you find menorahs and turkeys coinciding at one big table?

Would a facial scar freak a guy out?
When I was little, I got the chicken pox, and it left a deep scar on my face. It is located to the right of my nose, in between the inner corner of... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Very little.
Its actually been studied:
Summary: women find men more attractive as short term partners if they have facial scars, and do not view them differently in the long term. Men don't view women as more or less attractive.
I'm sure people say that scars themselves don't look nice, and think people would look better without them. However, they don't change how attractive we find the person -with- the scar. It's a bit like if you imagine your dream guy, and his arm is in a cast. Is he suddenly ugly? uh, no.
What Guys Said 6
It's hard to judge just based on your description, but I dated a girl for 8 years that had a semi large scar on her forehead. It was noticeable, but didn't bother me at all. Please, try to stop being so self conscious about. I know it's easier said than done, but in reality, scars don't make me think twice.
Also, don't try to hide it with makeup. It's unfortunate that you let something like that deflate your confidence. To me, a scar can be looked at as an alternate form of a beauty mark. It wouldn't bother me at all.

Leonardo DiCaprio may not have made it to the final round of our Last Real Man in Hollywood competition, but there's no doubt he may be one of the last real studs around Hollywood.
The delicious modelizer hit up Maxim's Hot 100 party last night at Paramount Studios with partner in crime Kevin Connolly and certainly didn't seem to be missing on-again, off-again GF Bar Refaeli…
Bar, who placed 19th on the annual hot list this year, was absent from the babe-infested fete, but she should feel good knowing she had a wannabe there in her place, who seemed to share her taste in men.
The poor man's version of Bar, sporting an übertight, strapless dress and some serious sex hair, had Leo's ear for quite some time at a table near the DJ booth.
DiCaprio, dressed in his usual incognito ensemble of a blue baseball cap and a pullover, was all smiles as the brunette babe flirted him up.
Sure, there were a few arm gropes here and there, some giggles and ear whisperings going on, but we don't think Bar has much to worry about. What's a bachelor to do when his go-to gal isn't around? Flirting only comes naturally for the stud.
After a while, the Inception star moved away from the bevy of dancing babes and sat down for a while to chat with his boys.
So what is the damn deal with Bar and Leo? Can never figure those two out. Seems more like an open-relaysh type thing which, if you ask us—probably gives them the best shot at getting serious in the future. Both hotties have their careers going on right now, so it's smart not to settle down, 'cause we def don't see this hunk putting a ring on it anytime soon.

38 year old man | Charleston, SC, USA | Seeking women 25-45 within 20 miles
Leisure enthusiast...
Let me start by saying that Spitty is what my grandfathers nickname was so don't think its because I dip or chew tobacco. Gross!! Well, let's see. I am 36, never married, no kids. I work alot so its not always easy to get out and meet new people. I'd love to find someone who can have fun and is comfortable in their own skin. I like to laugh and can be a bit silly sometimes. I'm new to the city and want to enjoy all Charleston has to offer. I like to fish, sit on the beach, cook, and go to concerts. I moved from Houston in February to start a new job. It's been great but I do miss all my friends. I had a great social network. I'm a bit of a free spirit and pretty much an open book. Ive got nothing to hide so ask all the questions you want. I love to travel and eat out at nice restaurants. A good bottle of wine on the beach sounds like a great date to me. So far, my best meal in Charleston has been at The Ordinary. Unbelievable food. I love college football. September can't get here soon enough. 2013 is the year of the gamecock. I lived in Columbia as a child before my family moved to Texas and the love for Carolina football never left me. I could tailgate every Saturday for the rest of my life. Work keeps me on the road a lot but I enjoy the travel. I cover North and South Carolina as well as Georgia so its not uncommon to drive 1000 miles a week. I'm a bit of a music junkie and Charleston doesn't exactly get the big name acts like Houston does. I need some good live music in my life. A few shows I've seen the last few years are Roger Waters, Janes Addiction, Alice in Chains, Sublime, NIN, Queens of the Stone age, Chis Cornell, SilverSun Pickups, Muse, Citizen Cope, Willie Nelson, Cold war kids, The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, and a few others. Anything Jack White touches is gold!!! Looking for someone who knows how to relax and enjoy life. A woman who knows how to be productive and professional during the week but can turn it off on the weekends and live every weekend like its a vacation. I fish, watch football, go to the beach, BBQ, visit with family, sit on couch, and do my best to make church on the weekends. I'd love to find someone to enjoy these activities with and see what happens from there. Someone who likes to laugh and enjoy life. There is plenty to be thankful for and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to live life and have a family that cares.

I want a dog but not gonna get one till I have some help. Work has me traveling a good bit and I like to travel around to see good concerts so I don't want to be obligated to take care of a dog every day. I'm selfish like that.

Love to go see live music. Don't care what it is, I wanna go. Five musical influences: Bob Marley, Janes Addiciton, Alice in Chains, Sublime, Billy Joel. Favorite TV show is curb your enthusiasm. Arrested Development is another comedy classic.
I tend to find myself on the Golf course when I'm not working. If not on the golf course then on the boat trying to catch some fish. I like to cook. Still learning the art but I get a little better with each attempt.
I'm reading an author named Vince Flinn. He writes CIA, terrorist , james bond type stuff. It's clever writing and I enjoy the story lines.

Man these songs that I made in my bedroom and shit
Goin' finally give a nigga leg room in the whip
from J. Cole – Premeditated Murder Lyrics on Genius
Cole produced his first hit in his room in New York, Queens. At the time, he was broke 'cause he put all his time into music and school.
The beat Cole made in his room paid, and he is excited to finally get a car — or "whip" — with spacious interior which usually is only available in luxury vehicles.

Arcana #1 Preview
Arcana was a one-shot print magazine focused on the wonderful world of comic books, produced for Arcana Comics in Canada. It featured Star Wars writer Tom Taylor, artist David Mack, writer Marv Wolfman, previews and more. It was released in comic shops in March 2010 and was largely created by the same duo behind Extra Sequential.

Maybe you think so. Maybe you don't. You know stuff, sure. You're on the cutting edge of pop culture so often that your feet have calluses. You read the sites. You know the news. But still you hunger. A thirst for tactile absorption makes your stomach rumble and your lips parched. Standing before racks of magazines, you now have a choice. Something to read on the train, or to pass to your mates, or to leave on your coffee table for curious visitors. Whatever it is, your inner geek cries out. Time to feed it. So, what's the point? Why give the world another magazine eschewing cool with a glossy veneer, you may ask? Are we so bold to think that we can offer anything different from what other mags already offer? Yes. Yes we are. So how do we do that? Arcana is about art, so it will be art. With unique layouts, pupil punching design and perception expanding subjects Arcana will stand out. From its cover to its conclusion, it will set itself apart and that's due to the focus of our attention. As the cinema screens have finally accepted, comic books are full of diversity. They're not just about spandex wearers punching each other, though there's plenty of that too. We believe that there is a comic out there for everyone. Less predictable than Hollywood, with long lasting epics that make Heroes or Lost quiver, and artistic renditions that deserve a gallery. Comics are awesome. We like to think of ourselves, perhaps somewhat proudly, as ambassadors of sequential art. The town crier for surprising mass entertainment. On this quarterly journey we'll look at what makes comics such a unique medium while taking the time to lovingly gaze at the people, the processes and of course, the pretty pictures. Whether you're a dedicated fanboy or girl, or a curious onlooker, we hope to have something to show you every issue. Thank you for giving us a chance, and we hope you follow us as we search for more storytelling treasures and give them the spotlight they deserve. There's a world of gifted creators, artists, writers and designers that we can't wait to show you. 2 EDITOR IN CHIEF KRIS BATHER CREATIVE DIRECTOR DAVE LAPSLEY CEO/PUBLISHER SEAN O'REILLY VP OF OPERATIONS MARK POULTON All words by Kris Bather unless otherwise stated.

In honour of their pensioner status we present four of 2009's best Marvel covers, in all their text-free glory. What was your involvement with Imaginary Friends Studios and do you still keep up to date with what they're doing? I founded Imaginary Friends Studios and built it from the ground up for 3+ years, but my partners and I decided to part ways. I still have lots of friends in the studio, after all I personally recruited most of the staff in the hopes of giving them a platform to shine, so I still keep track of them as artists that have a bright future if they manage their careers well. In fact, I'm now working on various new Storm Lion and Radical projects with many of the artists who left Imaginary Friends Studios after my departure. After reading Freedom Formula it seems that you wear your love of sci-fi on your sleeve. Were there any sci-fi films or stories that made a big impression on you growing up? I absolutely love sci-fi. I think it's the highest form of escape for young boys. The original Battlestar Galactica was THE sci-fi epic for me. I first watched it in the local movie theatre that screened it in Sensurround. The theatre seats would rumble when the Vipers launched and I was totally hooked. I built paper Vipers, Cylon raiders and drew BSG fan comics. What exactly do Storm Lion, and Velvet Engine offer? Storm Lion is our Singapore based publishing imprint under Radi- Cannes must have been a highlight for you. Do you have any memories that stand out? Meeting Jean-Claude Van Damme and Adrian Paul was pretty cool. However the real highlight was kind of a spiritual experience when a little bird flew into my room and landed on my hand. It stayed there for a good 3 minutes before it pooped and flew off. I took it as a spiritual sign that things are going well. cal. The idea is to have a line that was more Asian influenced in its creative ideas and hopefully appeal to both American/International and Asian markets at the same time. Freedom Formula was a great example of how a story that drew from Chinese historical mythology and plays with Asian versus Western perspectives on themes such as freedom and duty, creates a fascinating story that can resonate with today's internationally aware readers. Velvet Engine is just my dumping ground for projects that I think are too personal to justify getting other people involved in (until I can figure a way for them to work!) ing, mass market books and other types of publishing beyond comics and graphic novels. Really it's just an excuse to hang out and plot with my best friend, partner and mentor, Radical president/founder, Barry Levine who has been such a huge part of giving me my big break. Will you be writing any more comics in the future? Absolutely! In addition to writing various new ideas that I have, I'm also enjoying the process of co-writing with various writers such as Andrew What does your role at Radical involve? Dabb (TV's Supernatural), Tony Lee (IDW's Doctor Who) and Brandon Jerwa (Dynamite's Battlestar Galactica, Highlander). It's been good My role at Radical is to oversee operations at a strategic level. That involves to experience firsthand how some other writers put their craft to work. ensuring the organizational structure and business strategies align especially as we expand into other areas of publishing including foreign licens- 36 t first glance, it would seem that Robert Venditti epitomizes the "right time, right place" theory of success. However, there's more to the creator of The Surrogates than that. Venditti has had a diverse array of jobs. As well as being a student of both Political Science and Creative Writing, he's plied his trade at a law firm, a gas station, a Borders store and a mailroom. It was that last job that flung open the doors to success, and transformed his first published comic book in to a feature film starring Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames. The Surrogates reveals a future world frighteningly similar to ours, in which the majority of people are shut-ins, using thought controlled stand-ins for their daily lives. Those without surrogates are becoming a rarity and certain elements rise up, hell-bent on bringing society back to its former path. This upheaval becomes personified in the form of Detective Harvey Greer and a mysterious dreadlocked man gaining cult-like status, simply known as The Prophet. It's a hard hitting exploration of our A reliance on technology, how we see ourselves, and just what it means to exist, and thanks to Brett Weldele's unique, minimalist art and Venditti's layered writing, it's also an engrossing tale. "I've been writing stories as far back as I can remember," Venditti recalls, "but I never seriously considered pursuing it as a career until my senior year in high school. Even then, however, I figured I'd have to support myself with a day job, which is why I thought about going to law school. But I clerked at a law firm before starting school, and it didn't take long for me to realize that the legal profession wasn't for me." Something else that the scribe realized was the validity of comic books as mature entertainment, thanks to an eager customer during his Borders days. "A friend of mine who was a lifelong reader of comics got me to read the "Confession" arc in Astro City, and I was struck by the medium's ability to tell complex stories with well-defined characters--I discovered that comics weren't at all the kids' stuff that I'd taken them for." Thanks to the critical and commercial success of his own endeavor perhaps Venditti can be an ambassador to other doubting readers. "Comics and graphic novels are much more a part of our national consciousness now than they were when I started reading them a decade ago," he admits, "but if one of my books causes the scales to fall from some skeptic's eyes, then I will take that as the highest form of compliment." Before publishing the original The Surrogates mini-series by Venditti and artist Weldele in 2005, Top Shelf were primarily known as a publisher of mature, black and white original graphic novels, from daring creators such as Alan Moore, James Kochalka and Eddie Campbell. When Venditti began working there packing boxes, he was not looking at Top Shelf as a prospective publisher necessarily, but as a step in the right direction. Venditti recalls, "Ending up in Top Shelf's mailroom was the perfect bridge--it gave me the day job and the steady paycheck I needed to make a living, but at the same time I was involved in the comics industry and learning about the profession I wanted to be in." Thankfully, after reading Venditti's script Top Shelf co-founder Chris Staros decided that The Surrogates was the perfect fit to encompass his desire to branch out as a publisher. Then in 2007 Disney acquired the rights, hiring writing partners John Brancato and Michael Ferris to write the screenplay. The pair have worked on some impressive films, such as The Game and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, also with Surrogates director Jonathan Mostow. Rather than being overly protective of his sci-fi tale in the hands of the corporate Hollywood machine, however, Venditti admits, "It was actually a lot of fun. I knew going in that the team involved had an 52 TOM TAYLOR: STAR WARS "For me, it's all about creating something new, bringing something to life that didn't exist before. My first goal as a writer is always to entertain. I'm always thinking about the audience when I write � looking for that big moment of excitement or shock or humor. As an actor and a director, there have been times when I have struggled to see any relevance or entertainment value in works I've been involved in � which is a nice way of saying I've been involved in some crap. At least if the work I'm doing now isn't entertaining, I can only blame myself." So says Tom Taylor, the talented playwright from Melbourne, I N V A D I N G W e've come a long way since The New Kids on the Block had their own comic in the early 1990s. The last 3 years in particular has seen the increasing love affair between music and comics grow exponentially, thanks in no small part to the success of The Umbrella Academy. The brainchild of Gerard Way, the frontman of popular band My Chemical Romance, the series launched in 2007 with artist Gabriel Ba and publisher Dark Horse to immediate acclaim. Writer Grant Morrison famously declared it to be "an ultraviolet psychedlic sherbet bomb of wit and ideas," and said that the seven unique children behind the series were, "the superheroes of the 21st century." With two successful volumes collecting The Umbrella Academy's adventures (Apocalypse Suite and Dallas) and a third on the way (Hotel Oblivion) other publishers are perhaps looking for the next big thing with cross-over appeal. The last year in particular has seen an outpouring of new series with well-known names behind them, as musicians declare their love of comics and welcome the new storytelling possibilities the medium offers. 65 avid ack answers most of my questions amongst the clouds as he flies to New York, and that seems strangely apt. Mack is one of those rare breed of creators that flies easily between art forms, blurring the boundaries between the distinctions of narrative storytelling and the use of art therein. Comics have been his main form of expression, primarily in the pages of his unique Kabuki series (now collected in 7 TPBs and 7 languages). Kabuki began as a black and white series in 1994 and has since evolved into an enchanting color showcase for Mack's love of collage, painting, and symbolism. Every page begs for a frame and a wall on which to be hung. The series centers on the titular Japanese heroine; a celebrity, killer and daughter of a corrupt general. Kabuki is surrounded by evil in her future world, a world which is knee-deep in capitalism and selfishness. Despite the presence of fellow female assassins and the occasional dance of death fight scenes, Kabuki is anything but a typical action series. Amongst the beautifully illustrated pages are meanderings on life, death, culture and nature as Kabuki's philosophical thoughts and exploration of memory draw you in to her alluring world. Recently Mack has used Kabuki (now published through Marvel's Icon imprint) as a voice with which to share his own ideas on ...everything with his journal/sketchbook Reflections series, which for the most part foregoes story in favor of revealing the artistic process behind his comic work and also other projects such as his children's book The Shy Creatures. Apart from Kabuki, the other costumed adventurer Mack is closely associated with is the blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen Matt Murdock, and his alter ego, Daredevil. After filmmaker Kevin Smith's successful run on the series in 1998, Mack came on board with his writer/artist skills, bringing a dazzling new style to Marvel's long running superhero series for a few issues before visiting the character again in 2004. Between those two periods he also introduced long-time friend Brian Michael Bendis to Marvel, a move which would prove fortuitous as the fan-fave writer is now one of Marvel's chief architects. Apart from comics, Mack has also created album artwork and commissions for people such as Paul McCartney, Tori Amos and John Woo, and his work has hung in galleries and been studied at universities. The Cincinnati born artist is genuinely thankful for his career, and any glimpse in the letters pages of his comics shows his humility and desire to encourage budding artists. Far from being elusive and distant, Mack's down to earth nature and generosity towards his fans shows that his art really is an extension of himself. The 320 page oversized Kabuki Reflections book collects Mack's first six issues from the Reflections series and is available from Marvel on February 24. His long awaited return to Daredevil with former collaborator, writer Brian Michael Bendis is entitled Daredevil: End of Days and focuses on the end of Matt Murdock's life. Look for it, and a Philip K. Dick adaptation called Electric Ant, in the near future. m DAVID MACK PHOTO COURTESY OF LINDA COSTA. MORE MACK MADNESS INSIDE.

Re: Tracking the Falcons Draft Interest - Updated 4/20
I heard today is the last day teams can have private workouts with players, which essentially ends the evaluation process. And thus the next 7 days will be spent collating, collecting, and processing every scrap of data collected over the past 12 months into their draft board via several meetings, mock drafts, etc.

"Just returned from 2 wonderful weeks stay in this beautiful, super clean condo! This was our 5th year in a row staying here, and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. The condo is centrally located in Clearwater, and is easily within walking distance of many restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores. This year we tried many new restaurants, as well as a lot of our favourites. Each morning we'd take a short 5 minute drive to the beach for our morning walk, and then enjoy breakfast on our patio. Most of our afternoons were spent by the pool relaxing and soaking up the sun. So quiet and peaceful! A huge "Thank You" to Cavell and Rudy for once again providing us with a fantastic place to stay for our vacation, and hopefully we'll get to do it again next year!!"Guest: The Pope's Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 15, 2015View listing

Florida Central West Travel Tips
Central West Florida's beaches in this region have an awesome advantage over those on the east side of the state: their Gulf waters are typically calmer and warmer than those on than the Atlantic Ocean side. Here are the top attractions and sights in Central West Florida:
Tampa is an excellent place to vacation for both families and couples alike. Here are some of the top things to do and see:
- Tampa is the perfect spot for any animal lover. Head to the small but impressive Lowry Park Zoo, see lions, tigers and other cats at the Big Cat Rescue and check out the endangered gentle giants of the sea at the Tampa Electric Manatee Viewing Center, which is free of charge. There's also the gorgeous Florida Aquarium on the edge of downtown Tampa, which houses more than 20,000 animals and plants. Make sure to set aside at least three hours here to see it all!
- For adventure, take a trip to Busch Gardens, which combines Seaworld and other animal exhibits with safari-themed rides. It's the ultimate family theme park, and many people opt to spend more than one day here. Just across the street from Busch Gardens is Adventure Island, which boasts 30 splendid acres of water rides and pools. Another must-visit if you have the time is Dinosaur World, which is just a 25-minute drive east to Plant City. Here, these prehistoric beasts come to life in a large park and play area, where kids can also take part in a fossil dig.
- Tampa also prides itself on its excellent museums, including the Museum of Science and Industry, housed in an other-worldly building, and the Tampa Museum of Art, which has some great kid-friendly exhibits.
- Adults will love the Henry B. Plant Museum, which is housed in the 1891 Tampa Bay hotel and tells a wonderful story of the Victorian era, with gorgeous antiques in an ornate building. There's also the antique Tampa Theatre for movies, Lettuce Lake State Park, the Tampa Bay History Center and The David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts.
- Of course, the beaches here are top notch, but don't miss the lovely Fort De Soto Park's beach, with an interesting war-time history.
St. Petersburg/Clearwater
St. Petersburg is just southwest of Tampa on the bayside, while Clearwater lies straight west. This area offers award-winning beaches, excellent museums and other perfect amenities for your Florida vacation. Here are some of the best things to do and see in the St. Petersburg and Clearwater areas:
- It's a rare occasion when St. Petersburg isn't sunny, so head to some of Florida's most amazing beaches. St. Pete Beach has been called one of the best in the country. Spend the day on its frosty white beaches, keep an eye out for dolphins and grab lunch at Frenchy's or The Hurricane restaurants.
- Check out the collection of 50,000 tropical plants on a whopping 4 acres at the lovely Sunken Gardens in the heart of St. Petersburg.
- Take a stroll on The Pier, where you can shop for souvenirs and take a catamaran tour. It's especially beautiful at night.
- If you can handle a day or morning away from the beach, explore the 245 acres of pure nature at the Boyd Hill Nature Preserve.
- Appreciate the work of a creative genius at the Salvador Dali Museum, which boasts the largest collection of his work outside of Europe. You'll recognize his tell-tale Surrealist style right away.
- See Winter, the famous dolphin who lost her entire tail in a crab trap when she was only three months old. She learned to adapt and is currently a big celebrity at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
- Hang out on beautiful Clearwater Beach and take a stroll or picnic in Philippe Park in
Sarasota is about a 45-minute drive south of St. Petersburg. It's a wonderful place for a Gulf Coast beach trip. Here are the top things to do:
- Siesta Key Beach is known as one of the best in the country. The sand is powdery and glistening and the water is often a deep, gorgeous emerald. It's perfect for families, as it's one of the few beaches in the area that doesn't allow smoking. Also, the gulf waters are warm and calm, so kids can play freely here, and you might even see some frolicking dolphins, adding to Siesta Key Beach's picture-perfect ambience. If you dare, go parasailing with Siesta Key Parasail & Jetski for a thrilling ride and unmatched views from above.
- Immerse yourself in nature at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, the Sarasota Jungle Gardens and the Mote Marine Laboratory.
- Appreciate the arts at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, housed in an ornate structure, and the palm-shrouded, Mission-style Sarasota Opera House.

In Picasa 3 Essential Training, Dane Howard demonstrates how the latest upgrade of this free program from Google will allow photographers to organize, share, and edit digital photos more easily and effectively than ever before. Dane shows newcomers and experienced users how to archive and share photos from a desktop or online. Exercise files accompany the course, but using personal media is encouraged.
Your growing Picasa library is getting larger and you are starting to enjoy the benefits of finding and also archiving your photos. But here is something that's really important. This is the lost art of browsing behaviors. Many times when I ask people about their library themselves, they'll tell me, well, I don't really have that much time. It's a great place to be, but then they'll end up showing me some of their photographs and in the process of them showing me their photographs, they begin to tell me some stories. So I call this Browsing Behaviors and it really takes advantage of the fact that everyone needs more time.
But while you are browsing your photographs, start to remember the actual events that took place. So I'm going to invite you to select a couple of photographs from one of your albums, and we are going to turn them into something what I call author while you browse. I'm going to tell you a little story about this little walk in France one morning, and I found this little painting here. So just by holding down the Ctrl key, I'm going to make this little selection, and authoring while you browse, takes advantage of reminiscing over the sheer fact of browsing.
So what I'm going to do first is I'm going to do one of my favorite little things that's Collage. So when I go into the Collage, I now have the ability to kind of manipulate this memory a little bit, I can start to author it. This is authoring while I browse. I can create a new asset. I can start to remember and create a little type of memory just by grabbing the selections. I'm going to go ahead and create that collage. Now, while it's doing that, I'm going to go back to the library, and I'm going to go back to my Travels, and I'm going to go through and reminisce some more.
So while this is working for me, I'm back browsing. There is the photographs I just had, and then I went through the park and I took a picture, and I remember this really cool photograph here, and this would actually be a really great little story to tell my mom. So I'm going to go in, and I'm going to email these directly to my mom. Again, I have taken these photographs, and I'm going to go ahead and give her a little mail message. So I'm going to open up Google mail, and I'm going to login real quick. Now that I have logged into Gmail, I can send these photographs directly to my mom and tell her a little bit about my trip.
So again, this is authoring while you browse. My mom and dad will now benefit from some of these photographs that I have sent directly to them as I have just been thinking about my trip and they get to benefit a little bit from this time that I have spent inside Picasa. Again, you can see how powerful this concept is. Just in a few moments, I have been able to just take my browsing session and remind myself of a couple of things. Again, this little photograph reminds me of the walk I had with a good friend of mine Bryan as we were working on a project together.
I'm going to add a quick little note to this, my conversation to Bryan. This is where we talked about the design conference and how we may want to work together later. I am going to add this specifically to my particular item, and in fact, I'm going to upload it because I want to share it with him later. Well, now that I'm logged-in my account, you saw me logged into Gmail, it gives me a brand new interface here called the Web Albums. This is my first invitation to go into Web Albums. So I'm going to go ahead and select a new album, and I'm going to call this Walks to remember, because this will be a good context for things that I want to be jogged later.
When we go back, we are going to refer to this photograph, and we are going to share this photograph with Bryan and a few other of his colleagues, and these are just photos, remind me of great walks and visuals. Now, this is going to be an online album, we are going to get into this in-depth later on, but you can see just by having this little trigger of a jog of a memory, I'm going to take this single photograph and I'm going to upload it to a new online place. This is totally going to do this automatically for me.
You can see that already that photo is online and ready to be viewed. I'm going to store that away for a second here and get back to my browsing behavior. Back in my London trip, you can see that I have some other photographs here. This was Jamie Oliver's headquarters. I'm going to make a little note that this is the Jamie, so just putting this little note in here, gives me a sense of what it is. So in four different examples, I have sent an email, made a collage, uploaded a photograph, and edited some captions to refer to later.
This is a very powerful concept that you remember to actually take actions on the groups of photos that jog your memories. You will benefit greatly, and you can use the Taskbar to your advantage. The last little example, I'm going to give a quick little upload in real-time here of some of the photographs that I took in London. I'm going to hold down the Ctrl key, and I'm going to upload them directly to my Facebook account, so the world can take advantage of seeing the photos that I have taken in London. Let's do that now.
So I have selected some photographs, and I'm going to click on the Facebook Uploader. Now, we've added this a few moments ago as a Custom button. I'll log-in right now, and when you log- in using the Custom button, it makes a secure connection between Picasa, and your social network account, in this case, Facebook. I am going to create a new album. Well, I'm going to add to my album here called UK Trip, and I'm going to go ahead and upload it. Now, this takes the photographs directly from Picasa and posts them up on my Facebook account.
The moment it should open that up, I'll be able to post those photographs directly. So it asks for confirmation, and it will redirect me to those photos that I just uploaded. So very quickly I have taken these photographs and go ahead and select All and I'm going to approve these photographs because they have come from a trusted source. Now, these photographs have been added to my Facebook account. It's as easy as that to author while you browse. Remember that as you use Picasa, this is a critical part of getting your photos out there, getting them shared, and taking the most and making the most of your time.

"So Long" to Lola MorrowNASA Astronauts: Original Artwork Signed by Twenty-Six Including Ten Moonwalkers, Directly from the Personal Collection of Astronaut "Den Mother" Lola Morrow. When Mrs. Morrow left NASA in 1969, she was sorely missed by all the administrators and astronauts she had served so faithfully for seven years. This humorous ink on paper drawing, done as a tribute to her upon the occasion of her retirement, pictures Lola at her desk with six arms- typing, writing, paging, talking on the phone, handling reports, and waving- all at once (the original multi-tasker). Beneath is boldly written by the artist: "So Long...LOLA.....Thanks for All the HELP!" Many of the astronauts she had worked so tirelessly for have signed along the bottom, as follows: "Alan L. Bean", "Gordon Cooper", "Dick Truly", "Jack Schmitt", "Charles Conrad Jr.", "Donn Eisele", "Dick Gordon", "Don Lind", "Dave Scott", "John Young", "Tony England", "James Lovell", "Stuart Roosa", "Owen K. Garriott", "Joe Kerwin", "Buzz Aldrin", "Paul Weitz", "Jerry Carr", "Bill Pogue", "Alan Shepard", "Ed Mitchell", "Neil Armstrong", "Joe Engle", "Robert Parker", "Bruce McCandless", and "Gene Cernan". An incredible, one-of-a-kind grouping related to a popular and well-known NASA insider. Sight size is 18" x 16", framed to an overall 20" x 18". Excellent condition overall. Some of the signatures have faded a bit through the years, but all are still clear and visible.

Pastor Kathleen Rinear of Brookfield Congregational Church (BCC) presented a check for $2,365 to Betsy Ellis, President of the Board – Habitat for Humanity of Waukesha County. Habitat was one of four agencies that benefited from BCC's Advent and Christmas alternative giving program called, "Festival of Missions Giving."
"We asked our people to redirect a portion of their Christmas giving to touch the lives of others," Rev. Rinear explained. Guest House of Milwaukee, an outreach program for homeless men, and The Women's Center of Waukesha were also recipients of the program. A fourth organization, The Northwestern chapter of the Global Architecture Brigades also received funds to help build a medical facility in remote Honduras.
Frank D. Cummins, son of Dr. Frank and Marilyn Cummins of Brookfield, is president of the Northwestern Chapter. "The people we are helping have to hitchhike for over 120 miles to obtain health and dental care," Cummins reported.
An introduction to the Festival, "When Hope Comes," along with presentations by the four agencies are posted on BCCs YouTube channel which can be reached though the church web site at www.brookcc.org

TV Review: 'Family Guy: The Star Wars Episode'
Peter Griffin walks in on Meg's messy room and says, "Geez Meg, you're an even sloppier roommate than Bib Fortuna."
Cut to: Bib Fortuna trying to clean up his apartment, but constantly knocking things over with the long, wormy things sticking out of his neck.
Or Quagmire starts flirting with an ugly woman and Cleveland says, "This is even worse than the time you got turned on by a Sarlacc."
Cut to: Quagmire staring at the disgusting tentacled surface of the Sarlacc yelling "Giggity, Giggity."
Too geeky? My apologies.
In any case, "Family Guy," a series often accused of sacrificing coherent narrative for non-sequitor digressions, gets a surprising boost of creative energy from the season premiere titled "Blue Harvest" (if you don't get the in-joke, you may want to skip the episode). Not only does the officially authorized "Star Wars" story (along with music, specific images and sound effects) yield one of the series' most consistently funny episodes, but it also provides Seth McFarlane with a structure that helps the episode hold together even at a slightly padded hour.
After the most minimal of introductions -- the Griffins are watching Sunday golf when the power goes out, forcing them to entertain themselves -- Sunday's (Sept. 23) "Family Guy" shifts right into the narrative of "Star Wars IV," only barely condensing "A New Hope." Chris is Luke, Lois is Leia, Stewie is Darth Vader, Peter and Brian are Han Solo and Chewy, Quagmire and Cleveland are C3PO and R2, the pervy old man is Obi Wan and
Rather than delivering a "Family Guy"-style episode of random-cutaways, "Blue Harvest" plays with a nearly
It's a slight disadvantage that the "Family Guy" homage to "Star Wars" has to come so close on the heels of the similarly gentle mockery on "Robot Chicken." Preferences between the two

Re: CoolIT Freezone/Eliminator Thread
Finally I was able talk to CoolIt Systems Sean Mutlow and got RMA in Email.
He gave me option to install a fan replacement they woud provide or send back and replace the complete unit.
Since I'm not 100% sure it's only the fan, I decided to go for the RMA.
I hope next time I get more lucky since I was very happy with the Freezone cooling, beside I do believe that up to 175W heat output the TEC Freezone would ice ANY water only based CPU cooler.
My overclocked AMD Athlon x2 4200+ @ 2.65GHz Vcore 1.55V is at about 175W, so no problem there.
If I go next upgrade Dual Core AMD or Intel, the wattage on 65nm should be lower.
I might go Four Cores provided it drops to about $500.00 (this fall), I should also be OK with the Freezone if not trying extreme overclocking.
At least that was the info from Sean at CooliT and we know Tikiman had just about the same experience.
Sean at CooliT also confirmed that they're coming with more powerful unit but no dates or details.
If satisfied I can always upgrade later on.

Texans take 6-0 road record to NEBy KRISTIE RIEKEN
The Associated Press | December 07,2012AP Photo
Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker (10) tackles Houston Texans inside linebacker Tim Dobbins after Dobbins intercepted a pass by Locker on Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.HOUSTON The Houston Texans are the only NFL team that hasnt lost on the road this season.
The Texans, 6-0 away from Houston, will face a big test Monday night when they travel to New England, a place where a visitor hasnt won in December since 2002.
The Patriots have won 19 straight home games in December, with their last loss at Gillette Stadium in the month coming in a 30-17 setback to the New York Jets on Dec. 22, 2002
The Texans are one of the many teams the Patriots have handled during that streak, with Houston losing 40-7 on Dec. 17, 2006 in its only visit there.
Coach Gary Kubiak said the Texans are playing with confidence and dont panic on the road. He preaches a simple mantra before each road game.
Its about how you play, he said he tells them. Its not where you play.
The Texans (11-1) have already secured a playoff spot, and need a win over the Patriots combined with a loss by the Colts to clinch their second straight AFC South title.
Kubiak likes how Houston has handled the noise on the road and thinks the team pulls together a bit more when faced with such adversity.
Its really kind of your 53 against 80,000 when you show up, he said referring to the road crowds. I think they take that as a challenge and they take it personal and they know if they protect the football our team is going to have a good chance to win.
The Texans have had a great turnover margin away from home this season. Theyve lost the ball just six times and forced 15 turnovers on the road. Their best performance in that area came last week against the Titans when they didnt turn the ball over and forced Tennessee to cough it up six times.
Monday nights game will be the last of three straight road games for Houston. Although the Texans have won all of their road games, they havent been without some drama. Four of the six wins have been by a touchdown or less, including their controversial 34-31 overtime victory over the Lions on Thanksgiving.
Officials missed the call on an 81-yard touchdown run by Justin Forsett in that one. But Detroit coach Jim Schwartz threw the challenge flag so the play couldnt be reviewed, the touchdown stood and Houston held on for the win.
Houston receiver Andre Johnson said people talk about how close theyve come to losing on the road, but that he doesnt listen to any of that.
Weve been able to go out on the road this season and win games no matter the circumstances, he said. When they ask you your record, they ask how many games youve won and how many games youve lost, not what was the score or anything like that. So whatever we need to do to go in and get the W thats what well do.
A win over the Patriots, who have already clinched the AFC East, would help the Texans maintain the top record in the AFC and move them closer to a coveted first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
But facing Tom Brady and Wes Welker with a banged up secondary will be one of Houstons toughest challenges to date. Top cornerback Johnathan Joseph has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. He returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. Kubiak said how he looks in practice in the next two days will determine whether he plays Monday night.
Along with Josephs injury, the Texans are also dealing with the loss of nickel cornerback Brice McCain, who had surgery on his left foot on Monday. Alan Ball, who filled in for Joseph two week ago, missed last weeks game and is still struggling with a sore foot and didnt practice Thursday.
They signed veteran cornerback Stanford Routt, who was released from the Chiefs last month, to shore up the group. Kubiak said he has no choice but to suit him up on Monday night, but knows it will be difficult for him to absorb the entire playbook in less than a week.
Hes got a lot of skill, Kubiak said. In our situation right now hes a veteran player that could help us quickly, and pick up what were doing quickly. Hes covered a lot of good players in this league.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK The United States win over Japan in the Womens World Cup final was the most viewed...

That facial expression, it's like you want to trick people into following you to make them pancakes or something. From what little of you two we can actually see, though, you seem like a good looking couple.
I'm not sure which is more surprising, that people still have mohawks, or that you actually look pretty good with it.
Aw :3 /blush. It's just something I've always wanted to do. I've tried bleaching it (Had orange hair for 4 months, fml), keeping it bald, had long hair at one point (http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...142_9037_n.jpg) and various other stuff done to it. My hair-experimenting days are far from over ;o

The long hair doesn't seem like it'd look bad either, though I think some facial hair would be required to make it look really good. If you could grow a good beard, or an evil twin style goatee though, you'd be set.
Uh >.< You probably just brushed it off as shadow, as it's a dark picture - but I have decent goatee, as seen in the first picture :P
The lighting isn't the best, no, but I did notice it. I meant something like http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeardOfEvil.
Would be epic, but I'm not able to grow one like that ;<
Ah, well, that's unfortunate. Facial hair is an odd thing like that. Some people can grow epic one thing or another, but not other things, and there are people who can't grow any at all. It's a sad thing, really.
I'd like to see you with some more hair styles, though.
Halloween last year.

The end of the stars draws near. Three must become four to battle the darkness that lasts forever. . . .
With a divided StarClan driving a treacherous rift between the four warrior Clans, the spirits of the Dark Forest are gaining strength. Ivypool's role as a spy is becoming more dangerous with each passing day. Dovewing is haunted by nightmares about the mountains and finds herself paralyzed by fear of what lies ahead.
Then an outsider appears in ThunderClan's midst, spreading discord and pushing the Clans further apart. As tensions mount and Clanmates turn against one another, the warrior cats will be forced to choose whose word they can trust—before it's too late.
