Rio Quarazza streaming down the valley, feeded by a lot of melting snow. We had more snow in May and June than during the whole winter.
The four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata), known in North America as the four-spotted skimmer, is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae found widely throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.
The adult stage is found between April to early September in the United Kingdom, and from mid-May to mid-August in Ireland. Larvae have a two-year developmental cycle. Adults feed predominantly on mosquitoes, gnats, and midges the larvae feed primarily on other aquatic insect larvae and on tadpoles.
The male is considered to be highly aggressive and will defend a given territory from incursions from other males of the species. The male is known to form preferences for prominent perches and will often return to the same perches around the margins of pools and ponds whilst it patrols for intruders. Males have a favourable view of the sky during perching. They look toward a section of the sky away from the sun, with less radiation but a higher UV and blue-violet saturation. Thus, the fovea of the eyes, which is sensitive to blue and UV radiation, is optimally suited to the detection of flying insects against the blue sky.[3] Both sexes are prolific fliers, and mating takes place in the air, rather than on perches or amongst the vegetation. The female lays her eggs on floating vegetation. They tend to be easier to approach than Broad-bodied Chasers.

After my over-ambitious failure of a SHIP last year, I’m pleased to say my entry this year has been a success – for the most part! Its interior is a little lacking and there are a few small details I’m not completely satisfied with but overall, I’m happy to call it finished.
The backstory bit:
Vector - 1 is a training craft designed to test would-be astronauts’ skill in manoeuvring large vessels in and out of atmosphere. Its modest fuel consumption and striking appearance means it also sees frequent use at air shows to promote the Star-Bound program and entice fresh recruits.
The X-31 was a collaboration between the US and Germany, built by Rockwell-MBB. It flew a total of 580 times from 1990 until 2003, as part of the Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability and Vector programs Two X-31s were built. The model you see here, X-31 No. 1, crashed in 1995. The surviving one is on permanent display in Germany.
The tug and scene are based on photos of the X-31s rollout back in 1990. It was surprisingly hard to find what make the tug was.
A leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over their bodies that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones.[1] They undergo a partial metamorphosis, and have various host associations, varying from very generalized to very specific. Some species have a cosmopolitan distribution, or occur throughout the temperate and tropical regions. Some are pests or vectors of plant viruses and phytoplasmas.[1] The family is distributed all over the world, and constitutes the second-largest hemipteran family, with at least 20,000 described species.
They belong to a lineage traditionally treated as infraorder Cicadomorpha in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, but as the latter taxon is probably not monophyletic, many modern authors prefer to abolish the Auchenorrhyncha and elevate the cicadomorphs to a suborder Clypeorrhyncha. Members of the tribe Proconiini of the subfamily Cicadellinae are commonly known as sharpshooters.
“Joys of victory? It means nothing to me.
When I had seen that Eripom had decided to make yet another absolute favorite of one of my most loved Sub-Machineguns. I was most definitely going to do something with it! But then I thought to myself, as I play a game with Dolls names after the weapons they use. Vector in that game is also known as "Vivi" and then thought to myself, why not try to remake her a good bit in this too? :D I wish I could have done more to replicate her outfit. However if there are any fellow SKK's out there. Feel free to add me! UID: 237299
Special thank you to Eripom Moonwell, and then also A & Y for the awesome heckin' clothing! I hopefully will get those fatpacks someday! Petrichor had also provided me with the wonderful means of the perfect skin-toe to match Viv's original tone!
Sometimes you need to stop for a moment to grasp the true scale of "reality" as it happens before your eyes. Hurrying to build our dreams makes us miss so many things...
Flashback to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games
Vectorial Elevation was an interactive artwork that allowed participants to transform the sky over Vancouver. Using a three-dimensional interface, a web site let you design huge light sculptures by directing 20 robotic searchlights located around English Bay.
Thanks to being an Olympic host city, Vancouver also gets a Cultural Olympiad. Vectorial Elevation is just one of the artworks that can currently be found around the city. And this one is about as impressive as they get! (And it's interactive.) English Bay, Vancouver. February 9, 2010.

Vector painting of Maribel, the model who posed during David Kassan's workshop series at the Mobile Art Conference. I didn't make this at the conference, but used sketches as well as photos I made during the weekend as reference. I consciously tried to apply some of the painting techniques David demonstrated, but in vector instead of pixels. Painted in InkPad with a Nomad Brush.
