Humanoid Portrait Concept Art Tutorial

ReClip says:

Ah seems like I am back! :D Going to focus more on art related clips from now on.

Amplify’d from lightwyrm.com

The first tutorial of the ‘new Lightwyrm’. Thank you for being patient while we tinkered with the site. A lot has changed but we think it is for the better. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to post them on the forum, or send BorisKourt a private message. Anyway on to the tutorial!

Here David Tran gives you a quick step-by-step of how to rapidly design a humanoid head concept. He uses basic Photoshop techniques and doesn’t waste a single stroke. When making quick rough sketches like this keep in mind, that you should not get bogged down on building a shape from the ground up with thousands of ’sculpting’ strokes. But rather think ahead and try to make each stroke count. If you have questions about this tutorial, ask them on our forum or in the comments below.

[Tech] Opera 10 nears final stages

ReClip says:

I might be considering switching when this is out.

Amplify’d from news.cnet.com

Opera Software has completed its first release candidate of Opera 10, a browser that the company says has better performance, a Turbo mode for slow Internet connections, support for a variety of Web standards such as Web fonts, and improvements to the Opera Mail feature.

“Now, we are very close to releasing the best browser in Opera’s long history,” Jan Standal, Opera’s vice president of desktop products, said in a statement. “We hope everyone who has helped us test our browser thus far will put the release candidate through its paces.”

The new Carakan JavaScript engine, which is used to run Web-based applications such as Google Docs, isn’t done yet.

“It won’t be ready for (Opera) 10 final, but rest assured that it will be impressive when it comes,” spokesman Thomas Ford said. He said Opera won’t comment on the timing of the new engine’s release until it enters alpha testing.

Jobs devoting “almost all” time to Apple tablet

ReClip says:

Nice

Amplify’d from www.electronista.com
Apple chief Steve Jobs has spent “almost all” his time since his return to work developing the heavily rumored tablet device, according to sources close to the company. Those “people familiar with the matter” tell the WSJ that the executive is committing a level of attention to the project not seen since the original iPhone’s development. The sheer control has reportedly been a shock to some workers, who during Jobs’ roughly six-month medical leave had some relative freedom on projects.
The tipsters behind the story also back stories of the tablet having a rough creation cycle as it was supposedly first canceled due to battery life and then later due to a lack of memory. In one more reliable rumor, it was understood that Apple had originally tried building the tablet on Intel’s x86 architecture but eventually switched to ARM’s architecture (also used in the iPhone and iPod touch) to solve battery problems.

[Games] Top 10 Free MMORPG Games

ReClip says:

Woo anarchy online is still going strong! Have not played it in quite some time though. Time and MMOs don’t mix well.

Amplify’d from www.mmorpg-center.com
Last Update: 2009-06-01
While there are many mmorpgs out here, not all people like the subscription models, so they play free mmorpgs. They are not exactly free because they all have shops that can offer you an advantage if you buy special items from there, but it’s not mandatory and in some, it’s not necessary at all if you know what you’re doing. Developers must get money someway in order to maintain the servers and the game, so that’s why we have the shops.

Harmless sweetener or obesity culprit?

ReClip says:

Now that is something I didn’t know.

Amplify’d from www.takepart.com

High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), sugar’s cheaper and sweeter competition, is creating debate over its ability to “reprogram” bodies toward obesity. Hitting the scene in the 1970s as a profitable solution for struggling farmers’ corn surplus, high-fructose corn syrup eventually found a market as a sugar substitute in soda, bread, and even pasta sauce.

When the body consumes high levels of HFCS, it becomes resistant to Leptin. Leptin regulates metabolism. Once broken down by the body, HFCS doesn’t signal the brain to say the body’s full; the stomach “thinks” it’s still hungry. Opponents of the “reprogramming” theory suspect we’re all just eating too much HFCS—in addition to everything else. Regardless of its effect, HFCS has brought attention to obesity as a national problem.
