Leaf & an Other

Hihi~ When I made my earlier portraits of Children of the Forest and the Others, I noted that I couldn't achieve everything I'd imagined via the Artbreeder interface. For truly nonhuman characters, it has limitations. The only way around that is to supplement what Artbreeder can do by painting over it.

So, here is my updated portraits of Leaf, and an unspecified Other.

For Leaf, the main things that I wanted Artbreeder to do but had issues accomplishing were the scale and shape of the ears and eyes, and the dappled effect on the skin. I had been pleased actually by how close to my imagined hair the program was able to get, so that didn't get much adjusting - I just tried to make it look more explicit that there were plants and vines in the hair. The eyes are noted to be large and slit-pupiled, so that was important to me to change. Also, I tried to counter some of the youthfulness I felt from the original, since Bran describes Leaf as seeming like Arya in age but not at all at the same time, idk how well that comes across though. I'm not sure if I'll do the same with my portrait of Snowylocks (as they were posted as a pair) at the moment.

As for the Other, I worked off the more feminine example I'd posted. The original is pretty buried in this new portrait lol I changed a lot! My initial focus was changing the skin texture and making them seem less human overall. Part of the process for this was changing the eye shape, as well as the shape of the orbital region on the whole, and creating ridges to produce a more angular, structural face. I don't see why an Other would have eyebrows, eyelashes, or protruding ears, so I just nixed those. I'm of the opinion they are a constructed race rather than one that evolved... I thought about changing the nose but ultimately decided against it. I wanted to do something completely different with the hair, too, but I couldn't manage it with my skill level. For those familiar with the anime/manga Houseki no Kuni, I was trying to make hair like the gems have, sort of sheets of ice instead of strands, but damn if it isn't an endeavor. Props to fanartists who go all out - I recommend looking it up if you aren't familiar with the property!! Anyways, I defaulted on strands - I'm satisfied with the result but in my mind that is not what I picture for the Others.

Overall, I'm excited to share these! I'd love feedback <3

#valyrianscrolls #asoiaf fanart #the others #children of the forest #kenzietensei #megamikenzie #artbreeder #leaf #seriously if you havent seen hnk i highly recommend it #the characters are people made out of precious rocks and their hair in particular really demonstrates that #that would be my strong preference for the others hair to seem like solid sheets of ice #but filament style hair isnt impossible for an other either actually #i looked it up and theres a kind of snow called hair snow #its rare but seriously looks like synthetic white wig growing out of logs and whatnot...what a world #neways hope yall like this

"D-D-Doggie!" Cue Symphony giving the big dog lots of headpats and belly rubs. She had no idea it was Hriob, funnily enough.

Behold, a Russet Boofer- currently wagging his tail and playing with the gynoid. Poor thing was too nervous most of the time, she deserves a play break to de-stress and not worry about things so much.

🕯️about Errol (I know they just met, but first impressions count)

When I found out I'd be having an android coexisting with me... I'm not sure what I was expecting. Like. How do I even interact with it? Or— uh… Him. Them? Ah geez, this isn't supposed to be this awkward, is it?

I mean… Their attitude did strike me as… strong, I guess. But they seem nice enough so far.

… And they're quite good-looking as well, why deny it—

Either way, it'll be nice to have some company for once, I think. Living alone gets boring.

Revolutionizing Winter Sports: The Tech Behind Synthetic Ice Skating Panels

Winter sports have always held a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts around the world. From the exhilarating speed of downhill skiing to the precision of figure skating, these activities are not only a testament to human athleticism but also a celebration of the beauty of winter.

However, the accessibility of traditional ice rinks can be limited by geographical location and climate, leaving many without the chance to experience the joy of ice skating.

In recent years, a groundbreaking technology has emerged, promising to democratize winter sports by bringing the thrill of ice skating to places where freezing temperatures are a rarity.

Synthetic ice skating panels, a product of cutting-edge materials and engineering, are poised to revolutionize the winter sports landscape.

In this article, we'll delve into the technology behind these panels, exploring their composition, benefits, and potential impact on the world of winter sports.

Composition of Synthetic Ice Skating Panels:

Synthetic ice skating panels are composed of a high-density polymer material that mimics the glide and feel of natural ice.

The key to their success lies in the intricate formulation of the polymer, which is designed to reduce friction and provide a skating experience as close to real ice as possible.

These panels are typically made from a combination of polymers such as polyethylene or polypropylene, reinforced with additives to enhance durability and glide.

The surface of synthetic ice panels is infused with a self-lubricating agent, usually a type of silicone or other friction-reducing material.

This creates a smooth and slippery surface, allowing skaters to glide effortlessly across the synthetic ice.

The molecular structure of the polymer, combined with the lubricating agent, closely replicates the slippery quality of natural ice, providing an authentic skating experience.

Benefits of Synthetic Ice Skating Panels:

Let’s discuss the benefits of synthetic ice skating panels in detail:

Year-Round Accessibility:

One of the primary advantages of synthetic ice skating panels is that they can be used year-round, regardless of weather conditions. Traditional ice rinks are dependent on freezing temperatures, making them inaccessible in warmer climates.

Synthetic ice panels eliminate this limitation, opening up opportunities for people in diverse geographical locations to enjoy ice skating without the need for natural ice.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Constructing and maintaining a traditional ice rink can be a costly endeavor. Synthetic ice panels offer a cost-effective alternative, requiring minimal maintenance and no refrigeration systems.

This makes them an attractive option for communities, schools, and recreational facilities with budget constraints.

Environmental Sustainability:

The production and maintenance of traditional ice rinks often involve significant energy consumption and environmental impact. Synthetic ice panels, on the other hand, contribute to a more sustainable approach.

They don't require refrigeration, reducing energy consumption, and their long lifespan minimizes the need for frequent replacements, further decreasing environmental impact.

Versatility:

Synthetic ice skating panels are highly versatile and can be installed both indoors and outdoors. This versatility expands the possibilities for creating temporary or permanent ice skating setups in spaces that were previously unsuitable for traditional rinks.

Reduced Injuries:

The softer surface of synthetic ice panels compared to natural ice can contribute to a reduction in skating-related injuries. The slight cushioning effect of the polymer material can provide a more forgiving surface for skaters, potentially lowering the risk of impact-related injuries.

Potential Impact on Winter Sports:

The advent of synthetic ice skating panels has the potential to reshape the landscape of winter sports in several ways:

Global Accessibility:

By eliminating the reliance on freezing temperatures, synthetic ice panels make ice skating accessible to people in regions where winter sports were once impractical.

This increased accessibility could lead to a surge in interest and participation in ice-related activities worldwide.

Development of New Sporting Hubs:

Synthetic ice panels enable the creation of ice skating facilities in areas that were previously considered unsuitable for traditional rinks.

This could lead to the development of new sporting hubs, fostering the growth of winter sports communities in unexpected locations.

Innovations in Training and Competitions:

The consistent and reliable nature of synthetic ice panels opens the door to new possibilities in training and competitions.

Athletes can train year-round, refining their skills without being hindered by weather conditions. This could potentially lead to advancements in technique and performance across various winter sports.

Inclusive Recreation:

Synthetic ice panels can be a game-changer for inclusive recreation, providing a platform for individuals with disabilities to enjoy ice skating in a controlled and accessible environment.

The softer surface of synthetic ice may offer a more accommodating experience for skaters with mobility challenges.

Cultural Exchange:

The global adoption of synthetic ice panels could facilitate cultural exchange in winter sports. Regions that were once excluded from the winter sports narrative may now actively participate, leading to a richer and more diverse global winter sports community.

Conclusion:

The tech behind synthetic ice skating panels represents a significant leap forward in making winter sports more accessible, sustainable, and versatile.

As this innovative technology continues to gain traction, it has the potential to redefine the traditional notion of ice skating, opening up new possibilities for enthusiasts, athletes, and communities around the world.

With the promise of year-round accessibility and reduced environmental impact, synthetic ice panels are not just a technological advancement but a catalyst for a more inclusive and dynamic winter sports landscape.

Glow-up tips that actually work from your favourite beauty girly (me)

Hot girls don't gatekeep, so here are some of my favourite glow-up tips that actually work. <3

Skin

Find a skincare routine that works for you!! It took me years to find mine, but now my skin is literally perfect. <3 (let me know if you guys want a detailed skincare routine!!)

Don't pick your skin, the less you touch your face, the better.

I believe ice rollers are bs…

If you struggle with dark circles, don't try fixing them through skincare. Most likely, the problem comes from your diet or stress.

Dry brushing is a game-changer!!

Use lotion after every shower and apply a body spray before the lotion is fully absorbed into your skin. You'll smell amazing for DAYS.

Don't try homemade skincare if you already struggle with your skin. I learned it the hard way, lol…

WASH YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES

Hair

The more heat you use, the more damage you'll have.

SILK PILLOWCASES

Never sleep with wet or damp hair.

Stop buying cheap shampoo and conditioner, also make sure to check the ingredients!!

Some ingredients to avoid: Sulfates, Parabens, Polyethene Glycols, Triclosan, Formaldehyde, Synthetic Fragrances and Colors, Dimethicone, Retinyl Palmitate.

I trim my hair every 3 months.

If you have damaged hair, invest in some Olaplex!! my favourites are N4c, N6 and N7. <3

Diet

green juice actually makes you feel better. I make mine at home and LOVE it :)

Balance is key!! I swear by the 80/20 rule.

Drink more water, even if you think you're drinking enough. DRINK MORE

Keto is BS <3

Focus on eating more protein. Usually, low-fat products have more protein, so I just try to buy those, lol.

I eat gluten-free, not by choice… But it did clear my acne, so…

Take supplements, get a blood test done, discuss it with a doctor and start taking whatever they recommend. GAME CHANGER.

EAT MORE VEGETABLES and fruits.

Lifestyle

Focus on being more active, walk more, workout, join a club or sport, dance, whatever works for you!!

I aim for 10K steps, I live in a big city, so I usually walk more than that but still.

Hobbies that don't include screen time. Trust me.

Find your personal style and ALWAYS dress up. <3

TREAT YOURSELF. Buy yourself flowers, and presents, go to your favourite restaurants, vacations!!

Read more. As a classics lover, I can't imagine a life without literature, but even if you don't like classics, any book is better than no book!!

Take more pictures. I've noticed that I have become a lot more present since I've started taking more pictures!! highly recommend :)

I hate to say this, but getting up earlier is lowkey kinda great... been doing it for a few weeks, and unfortunately, I do feel better... they were right...

Get a cat. :)
