| Scale has drawn Chakasa Fuocoblu again, this time in a quite different style. Despite this image looking almost ugly compared to most of the last Scale's works, it is meant to look like this. This is his 3rd/4th attempt at drawing an image of Fuocoblu in this flat style (Scale has recently drawn few other imags too in this style). As you may see it's a cross between a reference image, an Egyptian-style painting, and a cubist (multi-perspective) image:

Lot of people have complained that chakasas look ugly, so I've tried to improve their look and remove design bugs at the same time. So I have changed their hands. In the image you can see the new design of the chakasa hands (but the back of chakasa hands is usually furred). They have just one thumb and 5 nails, so they look a lot like human hands. Chakasa nails are dark/black, very strong, they are anchored to the bone of the finger, and if you stress them (like drumming your fingers some days on a hard surface) they grow thicker and thicker (so you can later sharpen them). | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |
| AutoMontage, a software that automatically mounts many microscopic images of the same object focused on different layers:

It keeps only the focused parts of each frame. Focused parts of the images are those with high-frequency details (but not the highest frequency, that can be just noise).
Creating a similar tool with Python + PIL + a numerical library seems possible and not too much difficult (the numerical library can be used to compute 2D FFTs to find the high-frequency parts of the image. But there are other simpler ways to do the same thing).
An example of the results, the head of an ant of Genus Terataner:
