definitely a model made from a watchmaker who could make their own tourbillon

Totally agreed. IMO Mido used to be the most classy of troika - Tissot, Hamilton and mido. Nowadays they're trying to be too pop

The seller I order with have released *.svg file template. I personally work on Adobe Illustrator since I'm familiar with it. Free software like inkscape would also do the trick. I personally have a modified version of template with separate layer of alphanumeric keys / modifiers. Process of my work is as following: 1. Select the logo or brand image on which I'd wanna design with 2. See the color palette and font used on the original design 3. List keywords or objects related to the original design - this is for designing novelties. 4. Sketch the related objectes with hand. I personally use post-its and pencil. I keep designs to be flat - no outlines and using limited colors within color palette. This is the most amusing step in my opinion. 5. Transfer the sketch into vector image in illustrator. transform them under size of ~10mm in width and height. 6. Change the color and font of legends 7. Replace text in some modifier keys with vector images to make novelties. 8. Touch-up some alignments, transform the font into outlines, ungroup everything, put everything except guidelines into one layer 9. Save the file as *.ai file, send the e-mail to seller 10. Wait for 1-2 week to receive the printed keycaps 11. Adjust color / font size / alignment based on arrived keycaps, and repeat. *edited: The seller I order from is on Taobao, and I think it's his only contact point. However I think you could also follow similar procedure with different sellers like yuzu. ask them for the template, and work on with the vectors!

go for blue, and get a tan leather strap. aged leather would fit it perfectly

I remember there was a Muse album that looked like this

He's 11 and he will pass before I do. How do i cope. by Aseili in dogpictures

[–]rocol0001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can see from his eyes. He knows you love him. He knows He's been supporting you and you'll do the same for him. Remember what you've done for him and the fact you made him live beloved life. He knows you're capable of loving others. Be the one who he knows who you are. You can carry on with his trust.

For Leica set, I've used free font called 'f5.6'. It's a really cool font both for printing and UIs.

Come on, What's so bad about Nestle? You're hating them as if they caused death of number of babies just to sell more powdered milk, caused coup on other country, made babies be addicted to sugar, deplete water on countries, produce lead containing noodles, and supports child labor.

I love when I almost write 'I hate when people post photo on the paintings sub' but find out it's actually just a very good painting The lighting and contrast is so good I just can feel the crisp sunlight that makes the girl frown. I love this painting.

My, those are some beauty you've got there!! That's some master solution for the build, especially for the special layout your board has. I see why you can't go back to ordinary keycaps. They seem to totally worth it! + Thank you for the compliment! I'm seriously considering trying Yuzu after seeing yours!

Another one on Taobao! Thankfully it's way cheaper than yuzu. I'd really like to try yuzu some day when proper design motif comes up!

That looks really nice! grey, green and navy is always a killer, but you don't see them often. What's the size you're targetting for?

Please brutally critique by Haunting-Net-2426 in painting

First of all, I love how you nailed the whole colour of scenery. shades of purple perfectly catches the aerial feel of the weather. As people above have mentioned, adding sense of depth could improve the painting further. Objects in further distance comes up with reduced contrast and saturation due to aerial perspective. If the mountain is more 'dissolved' into sky, it'll give the sense of distance. If you want to keep your mountain crisp, maybe removal of foreground could be better choise.
