Publisher - Blue Moon
ISBN13: 9780993639777
Type - eBook
Pages - 186
Date - November 10, 2015

When the real world is emptied of all that you love, how can you keep yourself from dependence on the virtual?

Animal activist and punk rock star Larissa Kenders lives in a dystopian world where the real and the virtual intermingle. After the disappearance of her soulmate, Andrew, Kenders finds solace by escaping to Nirvana, a virtual world controlled by Hexagon. In Nirvana, anyone’s deepest desires may be realized - even visits with Andrew.

Although Kenders knows that this version of Andrew is virtual, when he asks for her assistance revealing Hexagon’s dark secret, she cannot help but comply. Soon after, Kenders and her closest allies find themselves in a battle with Hexagon, the very institution they have been taught to trust. After uncovering much more than she expected, Kenders’ biggest challenge is determining what is real – and what is virtual.

Nirvana is a fast-paced, page-turning young adult novel combining elements of science fiction, mystery, and romance. Part of a trilogy, this book introduces readers to a young woman who refuses to give up on the man she loves, even if it means taking on an entire government to do so.

Articulated Comic Book Art Community

Articulated Comic Book Art is akin to the miniature dioramas found in many museums, and as the name implies, the subject matter is influenced by comic book/superhero themes that pay homage to Comics and games. Originally posted (ACBA Community)

The Road to 10,000 Hours by Volen CK

Volen CK - "Hey everybody. Back in 2013 I decided to teach myself to paint and draw. Since then I've been working each and every day. My progress has been slow, but it has been consistent. In this vid I want to share some of my progress, major lessons about learning in general and how you will change as your art develops. You can skip up to 15 minutes in to just see some of the work I've done over the years. I hope this helps give you some perspective and inspires you to keep working."‪#‎freelance_talents‬

*) - Alessandro Constantini - "Fluid simulation colisioning with fresh fruits. I used a kodak gold 200 film emulation, baked the simulation and rendered a still frame."


*) - Kristina Gls - "My goal was to imitate the crystal in a variation to get the overall impression, used mainly 2 brushes, 1 textured beneath and then 1 basic brush with just shape dynamics for sharpness. 1 par appears off but unsure what to do about it. Took a bit more than an hour, another 30 min for initial copy of the image. I tried lasso way with gradients, but it was too flat."


*) - Thank you all for the feedback  here is update. First I did all sharp edges some, but I prefer the a bit more organic one on the right, what do you say? This was even more fun than the first part  Played around with color a bit to make it more magical. I didnt change any textures tho to not overdo it. So any C&C are very welcome  (which one do you prefer)

This is a character design portrait lesson painted from imagination. The lesson will teach basic working methods in Photoshop, color for realistic skin under overcast light, character design of a personality, and general approach of painting a portrait in Photoshop. This is a 15 minute video with image file of the painting included."
