To make a glaze with inks, simply add water (or any appropriate artist thinning medium) until the ink is diluted and transparent. Just remember to let each layer dry before applying the next. If you’re unsure how much color to add to your miniature, you can always thin your inks more and apply subsequent layers. For many inks, you’ll want to thin them to avoid oversaturating your painted model. The best inks for glazing miniatures dilute well and easily in water. Inks are great at glazing because they are so color intense. It’s like a colored filter that you place directly over your painted surfaces. Glazing with inksĪ glaze is any color art medium that you apply over surface to change the overall color. ( Note: As per manufacturer instructions, you should work only from a diluted stock of “1 part flow aid in 10 part water” before use in a DIY wash). You could just use water if you want a “thicker” mixture. Winsor Newton flow improver (2 parts) – Flow improver helps the wash mixture “flow” across surfaces and into deeper recesses.Scale 75 inktensity (3-4 parts) – You can use any ink, this is just an example.Acrylic medium(8 parts) – This is a binding medium that helps your mixture stick to your miniature.Mix about 8 parts acrylic medium (any brand, or use what’s below), 3-4 parts highly-pigmented ink, and 2 parts flow improver. Here’s a quick place to start experimenting with using DIY washes with inks. RELATED: CAN YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CONTRAST PAINTS? This is because inks have more intense color that doesn’t diminish with heavier thinning. Inks make it a lot easier to create your own washes. A wash is simply colored-pigment thinned sufficiently to flow into recesses. The best inks for making washes have high pigment color intensity. Painted with a mix of Daler Rowney inks and Vallejo model color. Reaper Paint has specific liners that that are designed to flow well off your brush and darken edges quickly. Use liners like a reversed coloring-book: darken the colored elements of your miniature to make each part stand out. These inks are named for their intended purpose, which is to “line” the edges and elements of your model. Liners are highly-pigmented dark-colored inks. RELATED: USE WATERCOLO R PAINT AS A WASH Liners You add other art mediums to your DIY washes, or buy pre-made washes that will skip the tedium of figuring out the correct mixture ratios. Of course, a good wash will go where you want it to go, and dry evenly without cracking or creating “rings”. You can make your own washes simply by adding extra water to thin your regular acrylic paints. Using a wash will bring out details in a model by darkening the deeper textures in a model’s surface. Army Painter Quickshade is a great example of a wash that rapidly adds contrast to a model. Usually, washes are a darker color that helps you add contrast to a miniature. Washes are a thinned version of paint designed to flow into the recesses of a surface. If you’re airbrushing your model, inks are a quick and easy way to glaze over a zenithal highlight base coat. Because inks are thinner and have high color intensity, they are also a useful alternative for thinning other model acrylic paints (here’s a great example of using inks for thinning other paints). Inks are great for freehanding because they flow more easily off your brush bristles and have excellent coverage. Inks made with pigment coloring require a “binder”, such as acrylic or resin polymer, that cures/dries on the applied surface. This makes dyes different from pigments, which do not chemically bind to the material they color. ![]() pigments: A dye is a colored chemical substance that directly bonds to a surface. For miniature painting, this means that you can often dilute an ink to a much greater extent without losing color intensity or depth.ĭyes vs. Inks also have a high-level of color saturation (or color pigment density) thant regular paint. Most inks use liquid dyes instead of finely ground pigments for color. ![]() This Infinity TAG was painted with a combination of inks and washes (with other paint blending techniques) InksĪrtist inks are a liquid paint medium and usually much less viscous (e.g., thinner) than any regular paint. washes” you need to know that the line is blurry.

Therefore to avoid any interruptions or interceptions he did not intend to return to his office. The ex-strategist projected each action and its subsequent reaction, and his first determination was that within minutes of his call to the State Department's Chief of Internal Security, other telephones would be used, and two specific phones undoubtedly tapped. Nor could he phone his once and former enemy. He could not think about Alex either - there were too many possibilities and impossibilities. Brooding over the reasons would cripple his mind as severely as a land mine had crippled Conklin's right foot. Lists calmed him they were preliminaries to necessary activity and forced him to concentrate on specific items rather than on the reasons for selecting them. After Conklin left for Langley, he had returned to the hotel and started his inevitable list. Without them he might plummet into a mental limbo and become paralysed by the strain of knowing both too much and too little. It was close to time for the baby to be born. Du Chaillu had come to value Kahlan's presence-the comfort of another woman. She had probably gone to be with Du Chaillu. Toscla, Richard said, remembering what Zedd had called it.

Pouzauges came riding up and yelled orders, and the column, leaving its dead and wounded on the road, changed direction and took shelter in the marshy fields beside the causeway. ![]() While they watched it, a cannon shot from the other side struck the head of the column and ploughed into it-Hornblower saw dead men flung this way and that, and the column wavered.

Finally, he stood and scratched the stubble on his chin.I've researched hundreds of marine engines in hundreds of different ships, including old steamships, but I've never seen anything that matches this layout.

They radioed that they were going to lower two men onto the roof. Pitt nodded positively.I read panic between the lines and smell something rumbling in Washington power circles. And then they turn their backs when Lowell and his like get heavy.' Gudin prayed that the British would take the Tippoo's bait and aim their pieces at the weakest section of the wall. With his spyglass he could see men straining at the gun, but he could not see the gun itself for the embrasure had been momentarily stopped up with wicker baskets filled with earth. The gunswere hot now, they would fire true, and soon they would concentrate a dreadful intensity of iron against the chosen spot in the city's defences. Gudin reckoned that the big guns were at last being carefully aligned on the section of wall that had been chosen for the breach. ![]() Colonel Gudin, staring through a spyglass from the western ramparts, distinctly saw the sepoy gunners in one breaching battery heaving at the trail of their piece. ![]() Some aimed at the wall in the glacis while others targeted the higher ramparts, but an hour after dawn they all fell silent and, a moment later, the Tippoo's gunners also ceased firing. Every battery was at work, but their fire was uncoordinated. This morning the British guns seemed erratic. To his surprise he discovered he could still see and that his face was not badly burned, but in his panic he had stumbled past Sharpe and so now he turned back and, as he did so, he dragged a pistol out of his belt. The Sergeant screamed, dropped the halberd and clapped his hands to his eyes. ![]() The rocket's gunpowder fuel was almost gone, but there was just enough left to spurt one last sudden flame that licked across Hakeswill's blue-eyed face. Sharpe felt the rocket's iron tube under his right hand, gripped it and threw it up at Hakeswill's face. 'Well done, lads! Give the bastards hell!' He nodded civilly to Sharpe and grinned at Forrest. He looked at the British shot flailing at the remains of the French parapet and slapped a palm with a clenched fist. He was saved trying to explain the political forces of the world to Sharpe because Colonel Windham and a group of the Battalion's officers spotted them and joined them at the parapet. I knew it was time to find some habitat other than the shrine itself, and I knew as well that strangers were coming into our mountains.įorrest sighed. She reached for his hand, to prevent him repeating the blow. ![]() Some human couples can be said to be joined at the hip, but the hammerheads took it one step further. Hammerheads didn’t really mate as we understand that process. The male of the species was a small, jet-black slug-like thing, with six eyes, which apparently never left its larval stage. What I have described thus far, was the female of the species. Their genus name, “Noviseva” means “strange Eve”, and refers to their most shocking biological trait. Like the human brain, hammerhead brains apparently have two distinct halves, but unlike with the human brain, these two flat, square-shaped halves are separated almost a foot apart from each other. They used their “gill-noses” to speak in stereo with a mix of bass-heavy voices and infrasonic frequencies. Their mouth consists of a diamond-shaped, vertical beak, sheathing a slit-like mouth filled with teeth. Their common name derives from their T-shaped heads their faces consist of two wide-set clusters of three eyes, arranged as upside-down triangles six gill-like silts which they use to breathe and hairs lining the edges of their “hammers”, which they apparently used to hear. Their “arms” are configured into long, skinny, muscular legs and their “legs” are configured into shorter, low-set arms both the arms and legs are comprised of three segments, connected by two sets of elbows/knees. They were apparently endothermic, viviparous, with calcium-based skeletons, and had most of the same organs humans do.only different.Ī hammerhead’s body is pear-shaped, and they stood about 7’ 6” on average. Upright bipedal posture, two arms, two legs, hands (albeit with two fingers and four opposable thumbs). ![]() In many ways, they were strangely “humanoid”. And their corpses were found in various states of decay or preservation. The great race of Delta Pavonis was christened the “hammerheads” (Noviseva sapiens). The colonists were about to make their new homes in the graves of another civilization. There were many signs of intelligent life, in the form of megascale engineering and the abundance of terraformed planets, but no signs of the mysterious builders and terraformers. Of course, the individuals who were simply brains with prosthetic bodies didn’t have that very cathartic moment, but still.īut it wasn’t long into the celebrations when the sheer scale of how _wrong_ Delta Pavonis was, became impossible to ignore. Apropos for their bodies to be rendered blank sheets of paper, since they were here to start over around a new sun. The colonists were frozen for so long, the cyrolide sapped them of their pigment, rendering their skin, hair and eyes bereft of color. The very first journey to Delta Pavonis was made by the ISV Sojourner and took twenty years to ferry 500,000 people in cryosleep, 1,500 AI’s and 2.3 million surplus embryos, using a ten-mile long antimatter rocket accelerating the craft at around 90.2% the speed of light, at maximum velocity. However, it wasn’t until the 2130’s that the first humans arrived in Delta Pavonis. In the end, it was decided in the 2010’s to go with a mix of both. When naming the planets around Delta Pavonis, there was an argument as to whether to go with a naming scheme rooted in Western esotericism or to name the planets after humanistic, philosophical and psychological concepts. They were smaller than the mind-bogglingly large structures around Kapteyn, so it wasn’t until 2028 that the first ringworld was confirmed around Delta Pavonis. Over time, the picture around Delta Pavonis started getting clearer and clearer, until eventually the megastructures themselves were sighted. What was more shocking was that there were apparent signs of intelligent life.but there were no radio signals coming from Delta Pavonis. So when peculiarities were also confirmed around Delta Pavonis in 2001, it was not THAT surprising. Humanity was surprised when microbes were found on Mars in 1979 were a bit more surprised to find complex, large animals living under the ice of Europa in 1995 and the discovery of megastructures around Kapteyn’s Star shocked the world in 1998. While regarded early on as a good candidate for ET life, it wasn’t until the Dark Side mega-telescopes on Luna gave humanity higher-definition images of the system, that its true nature was revealed. The eyes on a peacock’s feathers are also regarded as symbolic of the all-seeing omniscient God, and in Christian symbolism, the peacock represents immortality. Fun fact: the peacock in some cultures is regarded as a symbol of the cosmos, with the many 'eyes' on its tail representing the vault of heaven dotted by the sun, moon, and stars. It is the third star of the constellation Pavo, also known as “The Peacock”. Delta Pavonis is a G-type yellow star located 19.92 light-years from Sol. ![]() ![]() A reunification war ensues with territories around the edges of the Star League's territories, and then follows two centuries of peace across the human-occupied space, the Inner Sphere.Ī man named Stefan Amaris kills the first lord of the Star League in a coup and takes power, starting a thirteen-year war to defeat him, after which the Star League disbands. It also shows Ian Cameron, the ruler of the Terran Hegemony creating the Star League, a military and political organization, linking the five Great Houses with the Hegemony. The start of Harebrained Schemes/Paradox Interactive's BattleTech video above covers this period in short form with the introduction of the Jump Drive and the colonizing of the planet of the Inner Sphere. Paradox Interactive and Harebrained Schemes have created an amazing introduction cinematic that begins their game you can watch it below.įurther delving into that, the BattleTech lore is divided into six main eras: Loyalty means little, and power means everything, and nearly everyone in the BattleTech universe will kill, betray, and steal to get it. The main point to take away from that is that no matter what Great House, Clan, or Mercenary outfit your characters are from, everyone can be your enemy. I've heard BattleTech being described by the developers, press, and streamers as Game of Thrones meets Pacific Rim in space, but as BattleTech pre-dates Game of Thrones, Game of Thrones is in fact BattleTech without the mechs. The BattleTech universe has a rich history, with many groups of interest and several years that games can be based in.

Hit the "Save Wav" button, enter a filename, and save the sound portion only as a WAV. So open VirtualDubMod, and load your video. Step 1) First, we need to generate WAV file of the music video for timing purposes. Then we do full processing and create a new file. Once we are satisfied, we'll load the SSA file into the subtitler plug-in in VirtualDubMod and see how it looks onscreen, and keep tweaking it until it's good. Then we'll go into Karaoke mode and start adjusting the timing of individual words to correspond to the song. Once we got the WAV in, we can then start filling in the lyrics, lining up the lines with the words. To do that, we'll have to generate the WAV file for SSA, by pulling it out of the AVI or MPG file with VirtualDubMod, then use Audacity (or any other audio editor) to convert it into a format SSA accepts. We will use Sub Station Alpha's "WAV timing mode" as it's much more intuitive to time the lyrics and words by sound. * quite a bit of time, as this can take a while to tweak! * the Lyrics (easy enough to find via Google), save that in notepad somewhere for use later. * The music video itself (in a format VirtualDubMod can read, such as MPG or AVI) For example, Nero WaveEditor is a WAV editor that can convert much simpler than Audacity. If you know what a mono 8-bit 11.5 KHz PCM WAV file is, and can convert some other WAV file to that format, you can use whatever audio tool you are comfortable with. full processing, filters, audio compression, and so on. This guide assumes that you are somewhat familiar with basic operations of VirtualDub, such as stream copy vs. NOTE: If you have Gabest's TextSub filter (which is a part of the VSFilter package) that should also work. NOTE: By permanent, the words are permanently added to the video to the appropriate frames. If you want a TRUE Karaoke word transition, this is not for you. The words simply change color with appropriate timing. Normal karaoke words turn color one row of pixel at a time as the new color kinda. NOTE: By simple, the words don't transition. This guide will describe how to add simple permanent karaoke text to a music video using Sub Station Alpha, VirtualDubMod, the Subtitler plug-in for VirtualDub, and Audacity, an audio editor. To customize the lyric video you can go in Options and here you will be able to set the video quality (resolution), lyric scrolling mode, font type and size, font color, and so on.(This is my first guide, so some editing is required.

Wheels: go big or go home Available to lease Lease Now You do need bigger wheels to make the most of it, mind: cheaper versions look like they’re sat on cotton reels, which spoils the effect. It’s more curvaceous than the upright, blocky SUV norm, with a handsome and distinctive front end sweeping back into a body that shares more design cues with a posh speedboat than a gnarly 4×4. It looks long, lithe and elegantly minimalist: the design team call it ‘reductionism’, taking away all the fuss and painstakingly sculpting what’s left. Grown out of the Range Rover Evoque? The Velar is the sensible next step – and, as we’ll see, it’s a talented enough machine in its own right to justify its place.Įven if you haven’t fallen for it just by looking at the photos, you will do when you see the Velar in the metal (most of which is lightweight, eco-friendly aluminium). There’s also now a range-topping, and slightly pointless, V8-engined SVO model. Only a single five-seat bodystyle is available, with either standard, R-Dynamic (which has a sportier emphasis) or Black Edition trimmings. Ambitious prices have been dialled back, and it’s now found its place in the market. Land Rover launched the Range Rover Velar in 2017.

It’s an appreciably larger machine than the Evoque, but doesn’t have the Sport’s sheer bulk, so is less intimidating to drive. The Velar fits into the gap between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport. The muddiest a Velar will likely get is when you use the overflow car park field at Soho Farmhouse. ![]() It seems strange to be saying that about a big, mud-plugging SUV, but such is the Range Rover brand these days: a luxury car company, rather than a rugged 4×4 maker (leave that to parent brand, Land Rover).

If it hadn’t been there, it would have been a deal-breaker.Īs it is, Apple Notes, despite the amazing Apple Pencil, is a means of punishing yourself for something awful in a past life. Oh boy, how can Apple be so good at hardware, but so bad at UX design? I spent a lot of time googling to find out how to zoom in to create neat handwriting. It’s a skill you learn with patience and practice. Double tap again, and the screen goes back to normal size.Ĭombine the inflexible layout options, no pinch to zoom, and triple finger tapping, and you don’t get a great non-intrusive note-taking experience. However, you can turn on full-screen zoom and activate it by double tapping with three fingers. This offers quite a few options, most of which I couldn’t make sense of. You have to go to the Accessibility section of settings and enable zoom. Left to itself, Notes will not let you zoom in so that you can write small, neat text. ![]() You certainly can’t get a view of the entire note and zoom into a bit you want to look at closely.Īll that, however, is not the worst news. You tap on an image, and it fills the screen. ![]() Pinch and Zoom isn’t available to get closer looks at the images. When I embedded screenshots from the video, I discovered that they could either be big or small. I’ve never taken a screenshot of a video and tried to write notes beside it however. Previously, I’ve embedded screenshots of slides and written over them. If you accidentally put so much as a dot somewhere in your note, a drawing area is created, and you can’t put text there. You can tap on the photo/image and annotate it, but the annotations will appear in the photo/image. If you insert a photo/image, it’s treated like a character, which means that you can’t put a drawing tight against it. Want to insert a photo or screenshot? Things get confusing. You have little control over where text goes and drawings go. Pages are divided into type content and drawings/handwriting. You can tap on a pen icon at the top right to invoke handwriting, but otherwise you tap and type. I guess you could pretend to print it out at a particular size to see where page boundaries fall. That happens if you print it out, which means it’s hard to know in advance where text and drawings will end up. You don’t select page sizes when you create your note. This means your notes live isolated from (say) a writing project, but that seems to be par for the course. This app stores notes in folders, but as with the other note-taking apps, doesn’t use the Files app for storage. Chocolate fudge brownies using Apple Notes Taking hand-written notes with Apple Notes Notability got out of the way, and I could concentrate on learning how to make delicious chocolate brownies. I was pleased with the note-taking experience. Apart from typed text always starting at the left margin, Notability is free form. I missed GoodNotes’ loupe, but I liked being able to view everything at one go. I took advantage of Notability’s capability to view all its pages as one: Notability’s toolbar is smaller than GoodNotes: Most of the time, that’s where you’ll usually want it to start anyway, but it seems like a needless limitation. Weirdly, typed text has to start at the left-hand side of the page. If you insert photos, you can automatically select, resize and move them. Better yet, you don’t need to switch to a lasso tool to move some page objects. Photos, drawings, and writing can be as close or as far apart as you like. Notability isn’t as strict with its page structure you can view all the pages as one contiguous whole, which is handy. I chose an A4 page-size with narrowly ruled lines. As with GoodNotes, notes take the form of page and Notability also offers a powerful template capability. Notability organises notes with subjects and dividers. # Chocolate fudge brownies using Notability Taking hand-written notes with Notability All the tools were easy to find, and rearranging the pages was really intuitive and convenient.
