![]() ![]() ![]() And I also use references when I paint, because I can’t produce a realistic-looking portrait from my head yet. To pick the colours right, I chose some PoE character portraits I liked the most, and did a lot of colour picking and analyzed the palette, how saturated and bright it was, etc, and then tried to stay in that area when doing mine (I prefer oversaturated colours myself, because the nature here is 256 shades of gray and brown, and I love to go crazy with colours, but I want my portraits to blend in, so I study the colour paletter Obsidian artists use).Īnd finally, I watched a lot of Proko lessons, because they are short, and explain everything so well, and it means that while I’m going to work I can watch a video and then practice a bit. Clip Studio was also cheap last week, they do sales every couple of months, and it’s just the best app ever. I have Frenden’s mega-pack, but I think all brushes I used can be found in this one, and it’s very cheap. The watercolour brush I ended up using is Frenden’s Washout Wintrop (Buildup Noisy) for Clip Studio (I do everything in Clip Studio now), and for painting - also Frenden’s Painterly (Renderer) brush, it looks very similar to the brush used on the painting done for the game, and it blends so nicely: Thick lines look better anyway, because when you resize to 76x96 they read better. Here are my portraits that I made myself with the help of gimp when I absol. Character customization bug - No portrait - Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning) - Obsidian Forum Community Hey folks, It seem I have bug during the character creation at the customization step, instead of portraits I have a big red question mark displayed as you can see below. I failed at doing the volume thing with the watercolour brush I have, so I did some minimal shading and focused on inking instead: made lines thicker where the shadows fall. ![]() Then I tried to ink with a bigger brush, avoid unnecessary details, and get the volumes right. In the first picture here I simply filled the background with the colour I picked from Deadfire portraits. The texture also doesn’t really matter, because with that resolution there’s no difference between applying the texture like I did now or just filling the background with the colour I colour-picked from this image. The bigger one is 90x141 and the smaller one is 76x96, so they must have as little detail as possible. But here’s what I figured out since I got the beta and saw how the portraits look in the game: these portraits are extremely tiny. It still doesn’t look like what Matt Hansen does, because he’s amazing, and I still have trouble with translating volume with transparent “paint” (had that problem since I was 14 tbh, it’s probably for life).

9/17/2023 0 Comments Lightning strike scars![]() ![]() Lightning can cause unexpected tree deaths well after the strikeįor some trees when there is a small or no lightning scar, the tree appears to be fine only to die suddenly between two and 12 months later. But you and I know a secret – its trunk is hollow but strong. If you go past today, you will see no evidence of wounds or scars. As more years passed, its trunk broadened and the scar eventually grew over. Over the following years, I observed the long, narrow lightning scar deepening as the wood decayed. Many of us thought it would die, but it defied the odds. There is a splendid variegated elm growing at Melbourne University’s Burnley Campus which was struck by lightning almost 30 years ago. Unlucky trees can explode from a strong lightning hit. Trees can often recover from strikes like this, if the scar and decay are not too great. ![]() The wood behind the scar often decays over time, leaving a hollow behind. You’ll notice the lightning scar on trees like these, as it’s very visible. Such a strike often kills the tree’s living tissues in a strip running along a large branch, vertically down the trunk to the ground, or even ending a metre or two above the ground. Sometimes, lightning will strike one side of a tree. You may well notice the tree will appear to be undamaged and continue to grow well. You can sometimes see the sooty residue left on parts of the tree after a strike like this. If the trunk of the tree is very wet from rain, the lightning will course through the water and dust on the trunk down to the earth, causing little damage to the tree itself. Trees are not very good conductors of electricity. It would be an excellent idea not to be under a tree when this happens.ĭry lightning has set Tasmania ablaze, and climate change makes it more likely to happen again The sap inside the tree instantly turns to steam, which can cause it to literally explode, or lose great strips of wood and bark. For a tree unlucky enough to be hit by one of these events, it’s all over. Strikes can be up to a million volts, generating temperatures up to 20,000℃. The damage done depends on the tree species, whether it was sheet or forked lightning, how wet it was and where the lightning hits the earth and dissipates. The lightning strike pictured hit a tree in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens. In fact, the effects can vary enormously. You’d think a lightning strike would be game over for most trees. When lightning strikes, they are more likely to be struck. How do these rules apply from the perspective of a tree? Old trees are often the tallest thing around. Lightning never strikes in the same place twice. Don’t shelter under a tree during a thunder storm. Most of us are used to the rules we were told about lightning and trees from childhood. And that means our tallest trees will be hit more often. As storms intensify in our new climate, we’re likely to see more lightning strikes. These all contribute to trees falling or dropping large branches.īut there’s something you might not think of as linked to climate change. This is what we can expect as our climate changes, with storm events more frequent, wind speeds stronger and rainfall heavier. The burn on the left shows “Lichtenburg figures” that resemble fern leaves.The huge storms many Australians have experienced recently have damaged or toppled old trees which had withstood the vagaries of our weather for the past century or more. “Sorry, thank you for informing us, a number of you have already done so.”īurns to the human body from lightning strikes do not clearly resemble the special effects make-up in the misleading image.Īccording to this article in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, so-called “Lichtenburg figures” are characteristic of lightning strike burns.īelow are two screenshots of burns depicted in the article, attributed to lightning. “The made-up actor is Ander Pardo, who has (also) demanded that they stop, but with no results and it is almost certain that it will appear again.

Cables aren’t fully guided internally, so may have had a tendency to rattle about within the aluminium frame, causing unwanted noise. Trek have added an internal cable fastener on the downtube. The 2022 Roscoe gets a SRAM UDH hanger, meaning you’ll be able to replace a bent hanger very easily, picking it up from almost any bike shop, not just those that are Trek dealers. The 2022 Trek Roscoe frame has two water bottle mounting positions one on the seat tube and one on the top of the downtube The Roscoe 6 is still the previous frame, so still has the 141mm QR axle. Trek have dropped the 141 Spacing on the Roscoe, upgrading the Roscoe 7, 8 and 9 to Boost 148mm spacing running a thru-axle. Chainstays are shortened from 438mm to 430mm, though the boost spacing rear end still permits a healthy tire clearance of 29″ x 2.6″.įor the 2022 Roscoe, Trek have moved away from a proportional frame design with a consistent SA and rear-centre length across the frame sizes. The effective seat tube angle of 74.7° is a major change too, now far more upright than the 70.7° SA of the 2021 iteration. Seat tubes are also slightly shorter, with increased seat post insertion length so that riders can take advantage of a long travel dropper post. This has actually improved standover as compared to the previous Roscoe. All frame sizes have a straight top tube, with the longer reach allowing for a more gradual angle from the head tube down to the seat tube join. Reach on the ML has actually increased massively from 410mm to 455mm. Across the XS-XL frame sizes reach has increased ~20mm and the head angle has slackened significantly to 65°. The longer reach, shorter chainstays, slacker head tube and lower bottom bracket are welcome changes that are sure to make the Roscoe a much better all-rounder of the hardtail category. ![]() Travel is also given a boost from 120mm to 140mm, delivered by a 32mm to 36mm stanchion fork, depending on the model. Its most recent evolution swaps out 27.5″+ wheels for faster rolling 29″ wheels, built around an all-new frame with a more progressive geometry that should improve its descending qualities immeasurably. The 2022 Trek Roscoe is an aluminium hardtail mountain bike, now with a modern trail bike geometry. 2022 Trek Roscoe Kade Edwards’ Trek Roscoe 8 this build retails at $2,299.99 USD ![]() We have everything you need to know about the 2022 Trek Roscoe right here. Upgrading from 27.5″+ to a 29er and rocking a 140mm travel fork, the Roscoe now sports a rather more modern trail geometry… longer, lower, slacker, you get the point, right? There are now 6 sizes available from an XS (which keeps the 27.5″+ wheels) and 29ers running from S-XL, with prices starting from a very affordable $1,699.99. The extremely popular Trek Roscoe hardtail mountain bike has received an overhaul for 2022. In fact, the previous Roscoe frames didn’t use it, or have need for its use, either.

By the way, Joe Namath has OKed the idea of Rodgers. He may not ever be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but we all knew we were watching greatness in real time during the Bengals’ initial turnaround under Marvin Lewis in the mid-2000s. And as the Packers and Rodgers seem fed up with one another, Rodgers - who has been with the Packers since 2005 - may be following that path.

If you carefully observe the image on the right, you would see the fourth horseman on the extreme left, riding a pale and skinny horse, and is himself quite the same, giving an almost skeleton-like look. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.Īlthough the scripture doesn’t call death, “the Grim Reaper”, nor does it say about it wearing a black-hooded cloak holding scythe, it does act as a link to the depiction of the Grim Reaper riding a pale horse. When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. The following excerpt has been taken from the English Standard Version. Similarly, there are different mythological and religious entities that come from different cultures and beliefs from all over the globe, that somehow link with the origin of the personification of death in the form of the Grim Reaper.įour Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Albrecht DürerĪs mentioned earlier, Death is identified as the fourth horseman of which the Bible says in the Book of Revelation (6:1-8). In ancient Greek mythology, Charon was such an entity, who carried the souls of the recently deceased in a ferry across the river that separated the world of the living from the dead. The Grim Reaper is considered this psychopomp who performs his duties of carrying souls of the dead to the world of the nonliving. Many religions believe a particular spirit or deity is responsible to look after the souls after the death of a person. His skeletal face bears a grim expression that successfully haunts a number of people, instilling the never-ending fear of death and departure. While some believe that he arrives on an old coach drawn by white horses, others believe he arrives on a single horse, without any coaches. It is believe that this entity escorts souls of the deceased to the unknown territory of life after death. The scythe that he wields symbolizes the weapon of the harvester or keeper of souls. The Grim Reaper is a diabolically dark figure that has captured the imagination of many people around the world! Was he the answer that man found to his questions about the death and dying? This entity features in folklore and movies. The fourth rider is death, and is often depicted as a skeletal figure wrapped in a pale cloak in many artworks, such as an 1887 painting by Victor Vasnetsov. Did you know that, ‘The Book of Revelation’, which is the last book of the New Testament of the Bible, records of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? The four ride a white, red, black, and pale horse, respectively. ![]() |
