Jade Mere
Jade’s animals, mostly predators from the canine and feline families, convey both a sense of strength and ferocity as well as a frail, almost lonely side. They wander through the night by themselves but have a light to them, or clearly warn us to stay away. Jade’s art skillfully merges classic plays of light and shadow with a modern digital painting style.

For anyone who wants a free pose-able human reference for drawing
The other day I came across this awesome program by accident (I don’t even remember what I was actually searching for, but on the several times I’ve looked for a program like this I’ve had no luck). It’s cool enough that I wanted to share it.
It’s called DesignDoll (website here) and it’s a program that lets you shape and pose a human figure pretty much however you want.
There’s a trial version with no expiration date that can be downloaded for free, as well as the “pro license” version priced at $79. I’ve only had the free version for two days so far, so I’m not an expert and I haven’t figured out all of the features yet, but I’ve got the basics down. The website’s tutorials are actually pretty helpful for the basics, as well.
Here’s the page for download, which has a list of the features available in both versions.
There are three features the free version doesn’t have:
Can’t save OBJ files for export
Can’t download models and poses from Doll Atelier (a sharing site for users; note that the site is in Japanese, though)
It can’t load saved files
The third one means that if you make a pose, save it, and close the program, you can’t load that pose/modified model later. You have to start with the default model. I found that out when I tried to load a file from the day before (this is why reading is important…). Whether saving your modifications (and downloading models and poses) is worth $80 is up to you.
But, the default model is pretty nice and honestly if all you’re looking for is a basic pose reference it should work fairly well as it is. Here’s what it looks like:
There’s a pose tag that lets you drag each joint into place and rotate body parts. The torso and waist can be twisted separately, and it seems like everything pretty much follows the range of movement it would have on an actual human.
Even the entire shoulder area is actually movable along with the joint! See, like how the scapular area of the back raises with the arm:
The morphing tag is one of the coolest features, in my opinion. It lets you pick and choose from a library of pre-set forms for the head, chest, arms, legs, etc. It has some more realistic body shapes in addition to more anime-like ones. Don’t like the options there? Mix a few to get what you want! Each option has a slider that lets you blend as much or as little as you want into the design.
So you, too, can create beautiful things like kawaii Muscle-chan!!
The scale tag lets you mess with the proportions and connection points of different joints. This feature combined with the morphing feature not only allows more body shape variations, but it also means that you can do things like make a more digitigrade model if you want. (The feet only have an ankle joint, but for regular human poses that’s all that you really need, so whatever.)
Or you can make a weird chubby alien-like thing with giant hands and balloon tiddies if that’s more your thing.
The ability to pose hands to the extent it allows is far more than I could have hoped for from a free program. Seriously, you can change the position of each finger joint individually, as well as how spread out the fingers are from each other. Each crease on the diagram below is a point of movement, and the circles are for spread between fingers.
And to make it a bit more convenient, there’s a library of pre-set hand poses you can pick from as well, and then change the pose from that if you like.
In both versions, you can also import OBJ files from other places for the model to hold, like if you wanted to have them hold a sword or something.
Basically, this program is awesome and free and you should totally check it out if you want a good program for creating pose references.
I just wanted to add a little more to this. If you have trouble figuring out how light sources work in your drawings this also allows you to choose where to have a light source.
That shaded ball on the left is your light source. You can see how moving the point changed the shadow cast.
Oh and all those other nifty looking things in that bottom bar there, yeah it’s what you think. You can change the model color to one of these presets or even customize your own palette.
Plus for all you lovely people who want something a little more simplified to use as a pose reference
You can turn your model into the classic wire frame.
Why reblog this? Because for more visual creators, this will be like the lumberjack discovering chainsaws. “Reblog to save lives” as the saying goes.

Gravity Waves
In the last 2 hours, you may have heard about an important discovery involving “Gravitational waves”; ripples in space-time produced when 2 black holes collided. Fluid dynamics uses a disturbingly similar, easily confused term; gravity waves. Those type of waves are featured here in Earth’s atmosphere, represented by the undulating clouds.

Underneath the Vatnajökull glacier, in Vatnajökull, you’ll find ice caves like these - carved as warm water, often melted by the surrounding volcanoes, pours its way through and out of the ice.
Considering what can happen to an infant during this kind of agonizing torture, i.e., shock, choking, respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, hemorrhaging, he may not remember because he MAY NOT LIVE to remember.
Hey @comradeuncut16 I just found your blog! I decided to make a new blog just for intactivism and this is my first post here. I’ve been very interested in this since I found out in middle school that many guys had a piece of their penis removed. It was a strange concept for me and I didn’t really study it in depth until high school Now I’m studying psychology in college, and one of my goals for the future is to do deep research into how circumcision is affecting development, cognition, and the emotional lives of those who have gone through it.
Even though he probably won’t remember it if he’s young enough, it will be a significant event in his psychological development. Even if we ignore the initial pain of the operation, there will be near constant pain for 2 to 4 weeks during the recovery process which will have it’s own set of effects. However, not much research has been done to assess this. So far, I have found 3 studies that suggest that there may be negative psychological consequences to circumcision.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9057731 This study links circumcision to an increase in crying in infints in response to the pain of an injection. They don’t make any connections with cognition or psychology, but this shows a difference in elicited behavior between circumcised and uncircumcised infants.
http://www.academia.edu/6395216/Alexithymia_and_Circumcision_Trauma_A_Preliminary_Investigation This study links circumcision to a personality disorder called Alexithymia. They don’t make any guesses as to the cause of the effect they see and suggest further research into the matter.
http://foreskins-ok-usa.tumblr.com/post/15730839888/understanding-the-relationship-between The first paragraph on this page is an abstract from an article that found a link from circumcision to things such as impulsivity and aggression in children. They used a fairly small sample size to conduct their study but that doesn’t invalidate it. More research should be done here as well.
I don’t know if any of this research has been replicated yet but I want to get the word out about it.
As anti-circumcision as I am, it is difficult to be part of a movement that tends to hold antisemitic and Islamophobic views.
