Notes on Data Concept Artist YONG 특별한 설명이 필요없을 것 같은 "엘프" 컨셉아트 일러스트레이션입니다. 캐릭터를 자주 또, 자신있게 그리는 편은 아니라서 완성에 이르기까지 애를 많이 먹었습니다. 캐릭터 즉, 인간이라는 소재는 사람들에게 너무나도 친숙하고 익숙한 만큼 아주 작은 어색함도 사람들은 금방 알아차리고 맙니다. 그래서 매우 섬세한 표현력과 관찰력이 요구되죠. 배경작업은 상대적으로 훨씬 더 큰 스케일과 분위기를 표현하는 것에 집중하기 때문에 섬세함 보다는 전체적인 조화와 구성을 중요시하는 것이고요. 확실히 두 분야는 표현에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이가 있습니다. 저는 당연하게도 배경을 전문으로 많이 다루어왔었기 때문에 캐릭터를 표현할 땐 약간 불편하다고 해야할까요? 어쨌든, 고생은 했지만, 역시나 완성을 했다는 것은 기분 좋은 일입니다. [작업과정] [디테일] 제 블로그를 방문해 주시는 분들 중에 컨셉아티스트 취준생이 많은 것으로 압니다. 그래서 오늘은 면접과 관련된 약간의 팁을 말씀드릴까 합니다. 저 같은 경우는 업계에서 오래 일하다보니 아트디렉터나 원화팀장 같은 관리자 경험이 많은 편입니다. 그러다보니 자연스럽게 컨셉아티스트들의 면접관으로도 많이 참여했었죠. 그런 경험을 바탕으로 써나갈 내용이기 때문에 조금은 신뢰하셔도 좋을 것 같아요. 일단, 취준생이 면접을 보러 왔다는 것은 포트폴리오 자체는 합격점을 받았다는 뜻이 되겠죠. 이제 중요한 것은 면접에서의 태도와 마인드, 면접자의 비주얼? 면접관들이 바라는 면접자의 모습 중에 중요한 것은 자신감과 호감입니다. 지나치게 긴장해서 굳어 있거나 말을 어눌하게 하고 얼버무리거나 하는 것들은 자신감이 결여된 것처럼 보여지기 쉽고 면접관들로부터 호감을 사기도 어렵습니다. 자신감 넘치고 지적인 사람은 누구에게나 호감을 사기 마련이죠. 평소에 어떻게 행동하고 말을 하던지를 떠나서 면접 날 만큼은 강한 자신감과 똘똘함을 어필할 필요가 있습니다. 가끔 이런 식의 얘기를 하시는 분들이 있어요. "뭐든 시켜만 주시면 열심히 하겠습니다." 솔직히 말씀드리면, 전혀 신뢰가 가지 않습니다. 많은 도움이 됩니다. 화이팅~!
Is Time an Illusion? (Video) “Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.” —Albert Einstein Surprising as it may be to most non-scientists and even to some scientists, Albert Einstein concluded in his later years that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. In 1952, in his book Relativity, in discussing Minkowski’s Space World interpretation of his theory of relativity, Einstein writes: Since there exists in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent “now” objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. Einstein’s belief in an undivided solid reality was clear to him, so much so that he completely rejected the separation we experience as the moment of now. The video below discuss multiple theories on time, and perhaps the most important notion to take away is that we all live in our own time. Thanks to HD Universe Channel for this video.
GERALD POLLACK: The Ills of Science | EU 2013 I'm God - Yong A New Thermodynamics Theory of the Origin of Life Why does life exist? Popular hypotheses credit a primordial soup, a bolt of lightning and a colossal stroke of luck. But if a provocative new theory is correct, luck may have little to do with it. From the standpoint of physics, there is one essential difference between living things and inanimate clumps of carbon atoms: The former tend to be much better at capturing energy from their environment and dissipating that energy as heat. Kristian Peters Cells from the moss Plagiomnium affine with visible chloroplasts, organelles that conduct photosynthesis by capturing sunlight. “You start with a random clump of atoms, and if you shine light on it for long enough, it should not be so surprising that you get a plant,” England said. England’s theory is meant to underlie, rather than replace, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, which provides a powerful description of life at the level of genes and populations. England’s theoretical results are generally considered valid.

Hauru by Yaphleen 「 & The Science of Why We Don't Believe Science Illustration: Jonathon Rosen "A MAN WITH A CONVICTION is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point." So wrote the celebrated Stanford University psychologist Leon Festinger (PDF), in a passage that might have been referring to climate change denial—the persistent rejection, on the part of so many Americans today, of what we know about global warming and its human causes. Festinger and several of his colleagues had infiltrated the Seekers, a small Chicago-area cult whose members thought they were communicating with aliens—including one, "Sananda," who they believed was the astral incarnation of Jesus Christ. Through her, the aliens had given the precise date of an Earth-rending cataclysm: December 21, 1954. Festinger and his team were with the cult when the prophecy failed.
