Tom Richmond

MAD Magazine’s Tom Richmond offers up another juicy tutorial, this time on digital colouring: Part One, Part Two, Part Three. Pro users may not learn too much, but Tom’s nothing if not incredibly in-depth. He covers every detail of his colouring process no matter how seemingly inconsequential, never assuming anything of the reader. This makes it a great resource for students or those just learning the ins and outs of Photoshop. The tutorial covers everything from scanning the art correctly, down to the last little highlight.

Mysterious White Rock Fingers On Mars

What caused this unusual white rock formation on Mars? Intrigued by the possibility that they could be salt deposits left over as an ancient lakebed dried-up, detailed studies of these fingers now indicate that this is not correct. The light material appears to have eroded away from the surrounding area, indicating a very low-density composition, possibly consistent with volcanic ash or windblown dust. The stark contrast between the rocks and the surrounding sand is compounded by the sand's unusual darkness. This picture was taken from the Mars Express spacecraft currently orbiting Mars. Planetary scientist Emily Lakdawalla, among others, has followed her curiosity about this unusual Martian landform into a fascinating investigation that is eloquently described in the Planetary Society Weblog. The mysterious white rock spans about 15 kilometers across inside a larger crater that spans about 100 kilometers.
