Produced from two frames, one in focus, the other out. Combined in Photoshop using layers and the 'Blend If' slider.
Tried a new technique this time. Turquoise base coat with Devlan Mud wash and then Ice Blue stippling/dry brushing.
MADDALAM: The maddalam or madhalam is a drum made out of the wood of the jackfruit tree. It has two sides for playing, made out of leather, and has different kind of sounds on each side. The maddalam is a heavy instrument which is hung around the waist of the person playing, and the player stands all the while to perform.

These were all taken in my bathroom with the lights off, the way I got different lighting was by shining partial light on certain parts i wanted illuminated for the shot, the streaks are created by showing the camera the light directly in front of it.
All of these were taken on a long exposure, and each displays a different style of lighting.
Snow can be a pain. But in early winter, I love lake effect snow. Unlike Michigan, and places like Buffalo, Who get pounded.
In early winter we only get occasionally. And it's usually just an inch or so of the soft fluffy variety. melting away in a day or so.....
When I was a child. It was the best sledding. And as an adult. The best when doing something outdoors. Because it meant warmer temperatures. After a cold blast.
Now by end of March and April. My tune will change greatly. Because then it will just be winter hanging on. But for today.......
Sleigh bells ring. Are you listening....
While this wordmark has been used in a floral style design before, I’ve now applied a retro effect to it. Finer details such as scotch tape and staple are also included to make this design more polished and interesting, which also helped me to experiment with another style that I may work on fairly soon.

So yeah, my thoughts on the Ending in short form: WTF did I just see?
Long version:
We struggled through a bunch of crap, witnessing the Fall of Thessia, combating Asari-Husks with GITD-B00bs, seeing Mordin die to cure the Genophage and Legion to unite Quarian and Geth and when we finally get the last piece of the puzzle, it totally screws us over with three unacceptable choices.
After three games of preparation and fight against the Reapers, a race of intelligent 2km long Spaceships who want to eradicate all life that is technologically advanced enough to travel space, we are brought to the conclusion that a little child just uses them to create “order” in the universe.
People are harvested, preserved in Reaper Form and then aide in the next cycle.
And now our choices stray away from the original plan:
Either we kill all synthetic life, including the Reapers, but also the Geth who are finally on our side (and pretty damn cool) and EDI who got a downright character development in the third part.
Or we take control of the Reapers doing that what our arch-enemy planned to do, which is therefore unacceptable.
Or we rewrite the whole genetic code of the galaxy making every life form the same, which apart from being totally unrealistic, is also stupid in that aspect that there would be nothing “interesting” left in the galaxy, like sexy, blueskinned, female Aliens or badass…however you’d describe a Krogan.
On top of that, all three choices bust the Mass Relay System limiting all civilisations to sublight speed making galaxy wide travel near impossible.
Thinking about that, the Quarian Homeplanet is on the other side of the galaxy, but they are in the Sol system. So after 300 Years of exile they need 300 more years to get back there.
Now, all choices also result in Shepards demise (except that final scene after the synthetic destruction, which can be interpreted different ways). Normally I wouldn’t have a problem with Sheppard giving his/her life for the cause, but I want a good cause for it!
So, my suggestions for the ending:
1) Kill all the Reapers, Sheppard either dies as a hero and gets a memorial. (Galactic readiness not at full but high enough for victory against Reapers)
2) Kill all the Reapers, Sheppard lives happily ever after (Galactic readiness full or nearly full, final scene: Normandy flying into the sunset, please?)
3) Fail, because of lack of galactic readiness and the Reapers harvest everyone, completing the cycle.
So yeah, that’s my thoughts on the ending. I sincerely hope Bioware retcons that, like Bethesda did with Fallout 3 (BoS DLC allowed you to survive the original Finale). A DLC making the last 20 minutes a dream would be great, Harbinger simply knocking you unconscious (therefore starting the DLC at the run for the Beam-Lift to the Citadel). That would allow different choices and also have the game continue after the final Mission, probably opening the stage for less Reaper related content like Project: Overlord or LotSB were for ME2.
Now, just to clarify: I tottaly loved all three Mass Effect games, and this final chapter was realy great, I enjoyed everything about it, except the ending.
I will also play through it multiple times again, but I'll probably stop after the Cerberus base.
Just to make it clear, that I did in fact like the game.
Now: Anyone else feeling a little F’ed by Bioware as well? Please post your opinion below.
This doll was a disappointment. His eye screening is, in my opinion, not nicely done and looks best from a distance. Mine also had a pink stain on one of his shoes for some reason

SOBRE O GIRL EFFECT
A phenom if ever there was one, Maurice Brown had people buzzing about his chops while he was still attending Hillcrest High School in Country Club Hills. In short order, he won a full music scholarship to Northern Illinois University, took top prize in the Miles Davis Trumpet Competition and established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the Chicago music scene. He was featured on recordings by Ernest Dawkins’ New Horizons Ensemble and Fred Anderson.
In equally short order, it seemed, he was gone. After studying with Louisiana legend Alvin Batiste at Southern University in Baton Rouge, he asserted himself in New Orleans, where he mixed it up with top local players, scored a weekly gig at the Snug Harbor jazz club and recorded his first album, Hip to Bop. Think of hard bop monsters Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan dipping into contemporary grooves, personalizing the sound with “wah wah” effects and such, and you’ll have a hint of what a blast of fresh air Brown was.
The next leg of his journey was set in motion by Hurricane Katrina, which he escaped with little more than his horn and his laptop. As captured in the documentary, Brass Movement: A Modern Love Story, he landed on his feet, and then some, in New York, where his talents were demanded by such artists as Aretha Franklin, Roy Hargrove, Talib Kweli, Diddy, Cee-Lo Green and rising Irish soul singer Laura Izibor. Whatever he’s playing, he creates instant excitement. A group with its own strong personality, the Maurice Brown Effect includes New Orleans saxophonist Derek Douget, pianist (and Chicago native) Chris Rob, bassist Solomon Dorsey and drummer Joe Blaxx.

"Arts installation documenting the life and works of Michael Faraday who was Scientific Advisor to Trinity House and said to have conducted many experiments in the TBW Lighthouse."
To the left of the shed was a warehouse, its inside filled with smoke and cut at top and bottom by two horizontal planes of laser light. I poked my head through the door that was barely ajar, and a man with long white hair told us to come in. We walked through the mist for ages, looking at the light patterns spreading like luminous milk through the coffee darkness. Mannix's pram seemed to be standing wheel-deep in a foggy marsh.
According to the Trinity Buoy Wharf website, this was called Horizon, "An installation of Laser light and paintings by Caroline Cary and Jim Webb in the Electrician's Shop Basement and Chainstore II."
