similar to optical illusion, it depends on the way your mind process image and link it to a known structure. for this drawing 99% of people should have no problem immediately see the figure/structure. But some are just not wired to do this as quickly. for an extreme example, do you have trouble seeing what animal this picture is in spoiler? This is more optical illusion-ish, about 50% will have trouble with it, but a lot will also see the animal in under 10 sec, the further you step back the easier it is.

wow, thats a really cool picture, it took me like 12 seconds :O

edit: AHAHA his name is parlortricks
irony xD

Yes, quite humorous. I spent a good two minutes looking for the supposed animal and still can't see it so I gave up. There was this picture I saw in high school once where you were supposed to find a face in some beans and I never found it until it was pointed out to me.

Why is it that Glider gets autofeatured every tiny thing he does, however unrelated to Starcraft.

I understood 2-3 times after he did the few TSL images to promote his channel in return, and even the effort to get him Youtube frontpaged, but it looks like mods just go 'Glider? Guess we'll feature'. There's much more relevant and awesome content to be spotlighted on TL. And there are people with much greater contributions to esports that have never had a single blog featured, because they didn't make themselves a public personality.

The community is made awesome not by what people do for esports, but by what the people in it can do.

Unless something has changed substantially, that's not how featured blogs works. A person is noticed for their outstanding blogs and the person gets featured, not their individual blog posts. Hopefully they continue to make awesome blogs because theoretically I could have a featured blog that only said 'sup guys.' Because it's auto-featured. There was some thought that those featured could choose to opt out some of their blogs so they could post a lower content blog without decreasing the quality of featured blogs, but I don't think that progressed far.

Soooo good! How long to you set your exposure for on you time lapse camera, and second question how long does it take you to do these usually?

How my thought process works:
1) see title in blogs section of TL
2) finish reading title - discern it's art related. Not sure if want to see
3) see Glider's name by the side
4) sigh and be amazed yet again at the stunning work
5) feel ashamed you can't draw a straight stick figure yourself. Or your dog/cat/human art looks like an pre-schooler's work.

As always, beautiful work.

Once again, amazing work. I, like everybody else, got my head blown with the ocean at the end, and the emotions in the girl are so well captured, amazing.

Hey thanks for voice your opinion. Just want to clarify a few things.

1. the blog section doesn't have to be related to sc or gaming stuff, I believe the point is that you can post w/e within the TL rules, especially allowing TL's community to show a side that can but not necessarily have to revolve around gaming. It's just blogs after all, I'm not posting this under general's or TL community.

2. featured blogs I believe is based on average user rating of the blogs and targets bloggers (click on the "featured blogs" text and you'll see the avg rating rank list. So really it wasn't the mods that put me there, it's you guys who view my blog and rate how much they enjoy it. It's not like a mod that sees a single blog by so and so, then auto features it without regard to content. It's an automated process based on past blog average user rating.

3. before any TSL stuff I was on this site for 10 years, the first crappy art video I made, i posted on here, and i have been doing it ever since. and the TSL stuff I did mostly to support TL, the "few" drawings (over 30) I did is my way of giving back a little. And TL is super nice enough to help promote my channel in return.

4. Now days If anyone thinks i'm continually posting my blog here for channel promotion, that's pretty mistaken. since a) most people that view my blog already know about my channel long ago, and b) although not a lot compared to many channels, I still get over at least half million fresh organic video views on YouTube each month, I'm not posting the 1 or 2 videos here during that period for an extra 2000 views from the same audience for self promotion... I'm simply doing what I been doing for a long time here.

I just don't want you to think TL is very unfairly favoring anything, that's not the way the featured blogs works. The most important thing is always content quality and how well it is received by the viewers, not just the mods. Hope that cleared things up a little. cheers.

If anyone deserves to have a featured blog it is Glider.

This has once again blown my mind.

I'm truly interested in what you plan on doing after "all of this." You could work anywhere or do anything with the skill and hard work you put into your art. I mean, who would not hire you?

Have any ideas??
