I made a mistake. By using my dad's camera (I left mine at work), I can only come up a bearly ok shot (meanly for the poor perfromance on the contrast at dark area.) Anyway, in those 10 photos I added pacifier as a new prop, which I think fit her hollowed eye expression well. Plus, Japanese anime has a thing about pacifier and character from under world (hell) , I think that's because it makes strong contrast on the charector.
為了配合她相對空洞的眼神，除了將她上歌德妝外，就是加上奶嘴，在動畫中，地獄的住人配上奶嘴是其來有自了，而希望這樣配搭她能拍起來更幼更萌

facial improvement plans for merona リボルテックQB メローナ 01
Image by Skinning Bear
I borrowed those photos from
akibahobby.net/2009/09/revoltech_qb_merona_sample.html
they made detail introductions on figures not yet on the market.
It's about time for me to think about how to marker merona's face as I please. on the tittle I was saying facial improvement, but actually, her face is great in her own ways therefore no improvement is needed.
unlike Echidna, Merona's face has achieved her creater's own perfection (the model sculpter), and now it's time for me to achieve mine on Merona, and it will be my own version of it.
Here we see 3 photos, on the left is original face, at the middle, we can see normally my own skinning bear version of Merona. On the right, is how I tried to expanding her characteristic by adding unusual eyelashes.
One special thing about her eyes is her cross-shaped pupil, it remind me of circus and freak show, but I want to give her some magical, super natural feels and gorgeous gipsy female magician with extoic make-up (at least to Asians....) and all that out look. Plus she can have creams shoot out from her body, this character design actually goes perfectly well of the style that I wish to turn her into.
So, I decide to go bit extreme for her lower eyelashes, it's like a circus make-up and to fit the curve of her body and skirt, I go with round, petal like shape eyelash. I have no idea how I can actually draw that with Gundam marker, but it's always interesting to think about the possibilities.....
By the way check this out for extreme make up that also looks good:

(I just find out you can only play this trick in reply, so please see the following.)
if it didn't show, I have pic just under the same tittle around this album.....

Richard Dawkins
Image by Travis S.
This I got from my roommate who he got from a random, unknown (to me) forum.
Richard Dawkins must be a superhero. It's the only way to explain how he combats questions from those who use a single answer to explain away the many mysteries of the world around us.
I guess you'll have to view this large to make any sense of it.
I was actually asked that question at a review session the other day.
I didn't know people still did that.

Kismet (1993-2000)
Here you can get a first-hand look at one of the world's most famous robots. There are 7 DC motors, 14 servo motors, 4 cameras and 2 microphones as well as jacks for audio, video, computers and power. Can you find them? These are things that connected Kismet to its computers and software and helped it interact with human beings in a natural way.

Quoting Wikipedia's Kismet article:
[quote]
Kismet is a robot made in the late 1990s at Massachusetts Institute of Technology with auditory, visual and expressive systems intended to participate in human social interaction and to demonstrate simulated human emotion and appearance. The name Kismet comes from the Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi word meaning "fate" or sometimes "luck".[1]
Design and construction
In order for Kismet to properly interact with human beings, it contains input devices that give it auditory, visual, and proprioception abilities. Kismet simulates emotion through various facial expressions, vocalizations, and movement. Facial expressions are created through movements of the ears, eyebrows, eyelids, lips, jaw, and head. The cost of physical materials is an estimated US,000.[1]
Four color CCD cameras mounted on a stereo active vision head and two wide field of view cameras allow Kismet to decide what to pay attention to and to estimate distances. A .5 inch CCD foveal camera with an 8 mm focal length lens is used for higher resolution post-attentional processing, such as eye detection.
By wearing a small microphone, a user can influence Kismet's behaviour. An auditory signal is carried into a 500 MHz PC running Linux, using software developed at MIT by the Spoken Language Systems Group that can process real-time, low-level speech patterns. A 450 MHz PC running NT processes these features in real-time to recognize the spoken affective intent of the caregiver.
In addition to the computers mentioned above, there are four Motorola 68332s, nine 400 MHz PCs, and another 500 MHz PC.[1]
Maxon DC servo motors with high resolution optical encoders are positioned to give Kismet three degrees of eye movement, which allow it to control gaze direction and gives Kismet the ability to move and orient its eyes like a human. This allows Kismet to simulate human visual behaviors. It also allows humans to assign a communicative value to eye movements and to allow Kismet to focus on what it deems important in its field of vision.
Kismet shows a strong resemblance to Gizmo, a creature from the 1984 movie Gremlins.
In the media
Kismet has been featured on NBC as well as Discover magazine and is the project of Cynthia Breazeal. It also played a small role in the Steve Reich opera Three Tales, as a symbol of the development of artificial intelligence, and also a voice of traditional ethics.
