PITTSBURGH CINCINNATI

Thar be dragons! Metalseadramon and Seadramon were re-posed by my lovely fianceé, Danielle and she’s also my art and design partner for this project. Snakes are super hard to fit in a square frame. You basically have a couple tricks you can do. There’s the S-shape as seen by Metalseadramon (and old Seadramon). Those old arts were just screenshots of DMO (Digimon Masters Online) cut out by someone, so not great. You have the C shape as Metalseadramon DATA and Seadramon above (C-dramon...?). And you have the corkscrew shape not pictured here. There are more but we are sticking to ones that still give good model visibility through perspective.

That DATA card is a preview for the upcoming TOY set, which has some heavy Dark Masters themes. It’s only appropriate that we rework the design of Metalseadramon as well. In fact, all the Dark Masters will now be present and upgraded. I’ve previously shown off the upcoming TOY set with Fakedrimogemon, so...go digging for it ;D

If you play the game, you may have noticed this DATA has “Any Support Phase” instead of just Any Phase. That’s a change that’s coming down the pipeline for many DATAs. There’s some logic errors with certain effects being literally any time you want them. Confining effects to the Support phase will bring a bit more importance to the choice of playing the card. For example, if you could play this “Any Phase”, then you could wait till the Battle Phase when attacks are revealed before throwing down Triangle to 0. Since this game is based a lot on wagers and bluffing, that goes against the spirit of the game and provides a disgustingly easy shut-down as a hand trap. I do not like hand traps. That concept is from Yugioh and means cards being played directly from hand in response to something, with no indicator that your move will trigger this awful response. Their existence usually leads to hand control, which is a death spiral for metagames. Once people are trying to remove and control each other’s hand, they’re trying to stop the other person from playing the game as hard as possible and that’s no fun for anyone. So just one word makes the difference in an entire game’s death spiral.

For Seadramon and many other cards, I’m trying to make it so mixing types is less punishing. During the base release of the game, there wasn’t a lot of actual support for cross-type decks. The ones that you could make would be creative and good, but limited due to type-limited effects. Ultimately, most of them sought out to make the most broken combos possible which is a nightmare to balance and anticipate. Now that the game has existed for about 5 years, I have some experience with what players are actually abusing or not. I’ve tried replacing most of them with comparable conditions that type has no problem making but others might have to bend over backwards to get. Clever girl.

Lastly we got EBEmon or as the contest winner that created it said “Vademon Kai”. Again, all done up nice and neat by Danielle. If you’re wondering why there’s proportionally way more art from her lately than me, it’s not because I don’t have time. It’s because she’s way faster and better at this than me. She can usually do 3 to 4 poses in the time it takes me to get one right. We actually figured out that brown xenomorph bubble on its head isn’t just a Freiza reference, it’s supposed to be translucent and contain a long brain. No thanks. So...as it’s a rebuilt mecha Freiza...I mean Vademon, I wanted to do some cool stuff with the errata. Originally, it would get a DNA to increase the use of Omekamon’s effect, but instead I realized this is unnecessary since almost every Enigma Level U or M is getting one. So I stuck to the path. Forget DP -20 cost reductions, those are boring. Let’s remove the concept of your own hand size while you have access to draw 2! :D And I buffed every one of its “response probes” in the Passives section. They were all pretty good, since it’s not really a question of if an opponent will do these things but when. But more importantly, you don’t get to choose which ones happen. It’s completely dependent on what effects your opponent has (except the draw). So instead, it has a built-in Attack Chip and Recovery Floppy. Yay! The x3 VS was also reworked. We have cute little element names for each combination of types. When something has an attack that gets powered up versus something else, we give it x3 VS [that thing] mixed from our types, as if they were elemental blocks. Marine + Nature + Metal is “Grand” and refers to planetary things. EBEmon’s gun is a Planet Destroyer. Oh no.

Anyway, enjoy the new art and card preview!

Wobble, Wobble

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been reading the blogs of teachers in my ED677 describing their wobbles after they read the introduction of Pose, Wobble, Flow by Cindy O’Donnell-Allen and Antero Garcia and were introduced to Storri organized by Bob Fecho. Wobbles have been on all of our minds … and tonight I can feel my own center shaking as I work myself into a new pose.

My wobble is related to a new way of trying to do assessment in ED677, a graduate course I teach that is part of a certificate program in Connected Learning at Arcadia University. It’s a fun course because the teachers bring so many different things to it and I learn so much along the way. The basic idea is that we work to be connected learners in order to learn what it means to design for connected teaching in equitable ways.

Peer-supported learning is a learning principle of Connected Learning and one that I have a lot of experience with given that most of my learning over the last 20 years has been through and at the writing project. My experience learning alongside peers draws me into wanting to find a peer-like position with participants in ED677, although I clearly am, in this case at a graduate school of education, the instructor.

So I am and have been experimenting with this notion -- how can I position myself more as a peer, although also, instructor. My ultimately goal is to the class to engage with each other as peers too and not to engage with me, or each other, based on notions of authority and compliance. I think this is hard in the context of a graduate program, which is so hierarchical, but I also believe it is necessary. As adult learners, we need to practice our own agency in learning -- in fact, as educators we must be the agents since we are directly responsible for other people’s learning.

All that is wobbly, yes. And instructionally there are various ways we’ve been doing it; and I think it’s mostly been good and fun. However, where it is most uneven and hard for me to position myself is around formal assessment, ie. grading. As the instructor, in a situation where no-grade or pass/fail is not an option, how do I best use this authority? This is the same question the teachers in my course are dealing with of course, vis a vis their students in schools where almost 100% of the time, grades are used to measure success. So I must participate with it and work alongside them to imagine what else is possible.

I’ve tried a few things in terms of summative assessment/grading: When I started ED677, for example, I set up a list of expectations for participation, each 20% worth of the overall grade, and then asked the teachers to assess their participation and reflect on the implications of their participation after completing their final project. They submitted this reflection and self-assessment to me and included any additional things I should keep in mind when determining the final grade; I came up with the grade based on that.

In the second year, I asked them to do this self-assessment again based on the same set of expectations, except this time around we stopped mid-way through the course, doing this same self-assessment two times instead of just once. This adjustment was made based on my perception that self-assessment felt a bit new to many in the class; also I believe that really assessment should be happening throughout and not just at the end. This seemed like a good move and supportive of questions and concerns coming up more quickly to me and not waiting for the final weeks.

In the third year then, I repeated this experiment essentially the same way. However during the course of that semester, Kira Baker-Doyle shared research at the 2017 Digital Media and Learning Conference on a Connected Learning Course in Teacher education where this idea of “participation” showed up as part of the set of expectations (Baker-Doyle, et al., In Press). Given that “participation” is such a nebulous word, she and her colleagues worked to define it a bit more clearly, breaking it down as part of a set of axis -- the x axis moving from isolated to more active/embedded, and the y axis moving from mandated to personal projects. They then described participation within the 4 segments and noted where learners are taking the highest risks and had the most vulnerability.

This got me thinking about my language overall, and the set of expectations that I had mapped out. It also got me thinking about the continuums here - from isolated to active, from mandated to personal. And it got me thinking about equity, and core value of ED677 that doesn’t show up anywhere in these participation axes. Ultimately I thought that I had some thinking to do as I entered the fourth year of teaching ED677.

And now here we are, the fourth year of this course. And this year, my assessment is entirely different and I am wobbling wobbling wondering what the implications will be. First, I shifted from a set of expectations that count for 20% each (but assessed by whom was not clear) into clear guidelines for the % around who is assessing what. I decided to try it this way this first year -- 70% of their grade is based on their self-assessment; 30% is based on my assessment. This delimitation felt more clear about the intended role of self-assessment and my assessment (although the percentages are still somewhat arbitrary - based on the low-bar idea that you can still pass with your own self-assessment only - and a work-in-progress).

Second, I worked to make the self-assessment much more supported and guided; and linked it to an opportunity to give anonymous instructor feedback at the same time. The guide for self-assessment in fact is something I worked on, then reworked, and then reworked again over the past few weeks. I finally settled on something that had 3 main guides -- one that is about their own connected learning, organized as a set of continuum related to core ideas; a second infographic created by Nicole Mirra that is about their interests and ambitions for connected teaching; and a third guide that is about the suggestions that I made about practicing while in ED677. The self-assessment questions are then based on those guided reflections and prompts for goals and plans forward. A link to give anonymous instructor feedback directly asked if and how they can best be supported.

I still plan to prompt this process twice -- once mid-semester and once at the end. Only the final one do they need to share with me. … We are mid-semester now and I just sent the teachers this new guide. I also asked them -- those that came to our bi-weekly meeting this week -- for their professional opinion on this process. I’m really anxious to learn -- is this helpful in supporting reflective processes on one’s own progress? Does it support agency and confidence in the learning? Does it support goal-setting and next step planning? That’s what I really care ultimately as their colleague and what feels important for connected learning and teaching.

Wobble Wobble. Here we go.

20 remarkable dark ombre hair color ideas

A dark ombre hair color is a technique that gradually transforms the hair from a dark color on the top to an even darker color on the bottom. Traditionally, the dark shades start at the roots and turn into bright ends. This can be the other way around – the roots brighter and the tips darker – and this is called the reverse ombre.

With the Balayage hand painting technique, dark ombres now look more natural than ever! The wide selection of colors to choose from and blend make this hairstyle suitable for literally anyone, regardless of complexion, natural hair color and lifestyle. It is important to communicate well with your colorist so that you can develop your personality with the most flattering color combination!

Working with your natural color makes it even easier to look after, as the growth does not pose a problem! Highlights and lower lights can create a seamless transition that turns ombre hair into a natural-looking one, and we're forever grateful to you for that.

See how Lucy Hale, Taraji Henson and Selena Gomez wear their dark ombres, and you're sure to turn green with envy. If you are looking for a hairstyle with outstanding dimensions, contrasts and edges, this is just the thing for you.

Here we have collected only the most popular dark ombre hair looks for this year! Check it now!

Dark to ash ombre

How would you describe this look?

This look is a high-contrast ombre – the roots are from black to medium brown and end very easily! The thing I love about this look is the ashy blonde. We also cut her hair into a soft U-shape and create a nice length definition when her hair is curled!

Any advice for someone considering it?

Ombres with high contrast are for those who are ready for a big change and understand the care of blond ends. Customers also need to understand that it takes several sessions to reach those fair-haired ends. This photo was taken after three sessions. Another thing to keep in mind is the maintenance. Most natural brunettes have many red undertones, so if their hair is bleached, it tends to draw more orange / gold than ashen. To keep it a little shy, it must be cared for with either toning or purple shampoo!

I work and love Redken products, so I recommend you to use Redken Extreme Anti-Snap before drying or the extreme C.A.T. treatment before shampooing. Another recommendation, if you prefer ashy blonde, would be the use of Redken Color Extend Blondage Purple Shampoo, but only if you notice that your blonde is becoming gilded. Daily or even weekly use may cause your hair to turn purple.

Blond ombre on dark hair

How would you describe this look?

This look is an edgy ombre. It combines deep cool brunette (level 3/4 cool) tones that turn into cool beige and blonde ends (level 9). We smoothed and tinkled with ashes to keep the heat down. The customer grows up a shoulder-length, inverted "praise", so we just cropped the ends and I shaved a few separate layers. I then rolled with a Marcel 1.25in run and stroked it still warm. Equipped with Aveda texture tonic.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This is usually not a monochrome session result. The customer must keep the hair moist and healthy. I would recommend a daily repair product (like Aveda's daily hair repair) when wet, a thickening spray everywhere, and a hair spray to speed up the styling. After drying with an iron or curling iron and bridle curl – to get a roughened texture, finish with textured spray (Aveda texture spray).

This look is also cute straight, but gives a more edgy look when curled up. I think that's a flattering length for all face shapes and hair structures. This particular customer is a young, stylish mother of two. I often see her and she always lets her hair style well. Even for a mother on the way.

Dark brown to light brown ombre

How would you describe this look?

This look is a splash of coffee cream in a dark roast. The best thing about this color is how smooth it mixes between such a dark base and bright ends, and the dimension is my favorite!

Any advice for someone considering it?

I would recommend this color to anyone looking for minimal maintenance. It is perfect for someone who likes to wear his hair in different textured styles such as loose curls, waves and pigtails because it shows the different tones. It's perfect for anyone with naturally darker hair looking for healthy, lighter hair without having to be in the salon for post-processing every 4 weeks.

Remember, in my opinion, these Ombre's / Balayage's with the base as dark and ending as bright as this one each time look better and better when you get it done. It adds more variety of tones through the entire hair and can take more than one session to achieve the desired lightness at the ends.

Dark Black to Silver Ombre

How would you describe this look?

My favorite thing about this look is how bright and cool we finally got their highlights. This customer has a naturally warm, middle brown hair color. We darken their base and then use foil work to lighten the ends. The removal of artificial pigment can be difficult as it releases a lot of heat, which is the opposite of what we look for in this look. We finally reached our goal in this session and were both thrilled. No, we only mend their roots and luster as long as they are satisfied with the growth from the faux balayage technique I use. It is actually quite low maintenance when the desired lightness is achieved.

Any advice for someone considering it?

It is important to remember that it is difficult to get this blonde, if you make it too fast, the hair can be compromised. We worked in multiple sessions for at least 6 months to achieve these silver highlights as opposed to their dark base. As soon as your hair is so light, you need special care at home. Professional products, regular polishing, hair masks, minimal heat styling and a gentle hand while brushing. In addition, not every skin is suitable for cool tones. My general rule, when I think of flattering tones, is that the opposite side of the color wheel works from the underlying skin tones as I get lighter, but the same color family, when I'm getting darker, works for most people.

Caramel ombre on dark brown hair

How would you describe this look?

This look is a subtle approach to a caramel ombre for someone who wants to change it, but it's not too intense. My favorite thing about it is how well the color fades and how beautifully it grows out!

The mix of copper and beige I used makes it look good and she does not have to worry about having dull hair and staying longer between appointments. This color technique is perfect for smooth or curly hair, short or long hair! The cut and the color are super easy to clean. The technique I used and the color formula works with most customers, depending on the intensity of the color.

Any advice for someone considering it?

The customer would have to agree with warmer tones. This look is great again, because it introduces the warm caramel tones, without the fear of becoming too red, if that is a concern of the customer.

Blond dark shadow hair

How would you describe this look?

This look shows a perfect gold lived in blonde. With the Balayage technique we can create this "beachy" look without spending the whole summer in the sun. Styling with a wand will also enhance the look, but add the element of beach waves.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Since the blonde does not reach down to the roots, she is perfect for someone who wants less care and yet a totally blonde look. If you are looking for some fun in the sun, this will be the perfect summer look for you!

Dark brown to red ombre

How would you describe this look?

I love how we can play the original root color, because melting a natural color into something bright and different is such a funny thing. Aveda Texture Tonic is great when styling looks great and when you give it a little curls, the color always gets a cool dimensional look when other light hits them.

Any advice for someone considering it?

I would say this look is great for anyone who loves to show off their hair! The styling of the hair with some texture and a strong look give the hair a total picture. Think of cat's eyes and Kat Von D.

Dark to light ombre hair

How would you describe this look?

This is a dramatic mixed ombre praise. The techniques used were babylight, balayage, root shadows, compression cutting and dry cutting. What I love about this look is that it is easy to clean but has a high visual impact.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This is a great style for any customer who loves a dramatic look but does not have the time or budget to choose one. This color and cut only needs reworking a few times a year and can be used on most hair types. The cuts with a lot of versatility and look great – whether wavy or straight!

Dark brown to blond ombre

How would you describe this look?

I created this rooted look with a combination of baby light and balayage. Baby-light is just a hairdressing concept for very finely woven highlights and should give you a similar look as the sun-drenched highlights that you would get as a child. Balayage is a hand painting technique that creates a melted look from dark to light when used. For most of this cut, I've used a shaving technique to give it a soft texture and really showcase the color.

My favorite part of the whole project was to give her a vivid color that made her feel brighter and brighter. The beach waves were generated with a flat iron and completed with Oribe texturing spray. If you have not tried this product yet, you are seriously missing it. It creates effortless texture and volume in no time at all for fine-haired girls: this is your new best friend!

Any advice for someone considering it?

This customer of mine, as seen in the picture, had already been balaged twice before this final transformation. Her hair was dyed dark brown before it got blond, so we had to trust the process and take it slow to protect the integrity of her hair.

My biggest advice to those who want to get brighter: Be 100% honest with your stylist about your color history and take it slowly. Trust the process. Raising virgin hair is pretty easy, but when you lift through old colors (professional and boxing dyes), it can be unpredictable. If you take it slowly, your hair will stay healthy and will not compromise.

Normally I send all my customers home with professional care products to ensure the longevity and health of the hair. Any hair type can achieve this look over time, but do not be surprised if you have thick, dark hair, you probably will not come to a frosty blond color in a service.

This color is inhabited, which means that you can stay a few months without much, and it will still look seamless. The cut can be achieved with straight hair up to really curly hair. It has minimal layers for extra movement and face-frame pieces to suit any face shape. No matter what texture, but you are petting it, this color and the cut combination are perfect for all your easy-care girls and guys out there!

Blue Ombre

How would you describe this look?

This look is minimalist yet stylish and dimensional through the color and layers.

One of my favorite pieces of this look is the dark blue ombre, which blends seamlessly into the dark roots. Darker roots allow regrowth to be less obvious, thus reducing grooming. In addition, since it is in a darker shade, the color lasts longer and even if it fades, it will fade beautifully. Dark blue is one of the coolest shades ever.

Any advice for someone considering it?

If you are dark-haired and want a very easy-care look, this beautiful dark blue ombre can definitely be one of your inspirations. You do not necessarily dye your entire head to achieve that look. I will also recommend this to clients with strict office wear, as this subtle dark blue ombre definitely does not stand out in the eyes of HR.

Brown Ombre

How would you describe this look?

I've created this reverse ombre with a color fusion technique, from its natural blond mixed colors to the darkest brown. The cut consists of long layers, which are designed with Biolage thermal active spray and a large curling iron.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This color is perfect for a natural blonde who desires a dramatic change without much care.

Dark brown ombre

This kind of curly ombre makes a bold change from rich chocolate to some caramel swirls. And honestly, we live for it.

Rose gold ombre on dark hair

Balayage hair helps in changing the color, especially in this dark to light. Pink hairs with ashen tones still stand out, while radiating a relaxed atmosphere.

Violet ombre

Violet hair is a simple and creative way to express yourself. A gray transition to rich violet and purple strands screams impudence.

Gray Ombre

Stylist Aubrey has set himself instagram-worthy hair goals! A smooth transition from dark to light gray hair gives the hair excellent color quality.

Balayage Ombre

Biscuits and cream in a creamy consistency! With dark roots and bright ends, it is usually the safest way to explore the hair color. Besides, it is really easy to wait!

Red Ombre

Funny and sexy, like burning passion! Be an instant eye-catcher with silky scarlet ombre.

Backlight to dark Ombre

Soft waves that begin at the nape of the neck can create a smoother transition from light to dark. Here we have a dark caramel to black ombre.

Inverted blonde to dark ombre

The deeper the color, the better! A silky light to dark fade that enchants wonderfully.

Short dark ombre hair color

Yes, you can still make Ombre on a Pixie cut! And with this color change, I'm sure he'll look unique.

My favorite part of the whole project was to give her a vivid color that made her feel brighter and brighter. The beach waves were generated with a flat iron and completed with Oribe texturing spray. If you have not tried this product yet, you are seriously missing it. It creates effortless texture and volume in no time at all for fine-haired girls: this is your new best friend!

Any advice for someone considering it?

This customer of mine, as seen in the picture, had already been balaged twice before this final transformation. Her hair was dyed dark brown before it got blond, so we had to trust the process and take it slow to protect the integrity of her hair.

My biggest advice to those who want to get brighter: Be 100% honest with your stylist about your color history and take it slowly. Trust the process. Raising virgin hair is pretty easy, but when you lift through old colors (professional and boxing dyes), it can be unpredictable. If you take it slowly, your hair will stay healthy and will not compromise.

Normally I send all my customers home with professional care products to ensure the longevity and health of the hair. Any hair type can achieve this look over time, but do not be surprised if you have thick, dark hair, you probably will not come to a frosty blond color in a service.

This color is inhabited, which means that you can stay a few months without much, and it will still look seamless. The cut can be achieved with straight hair up to really curly hair. It has minimal layers for extra movement and face-frame pieces to suit any face shape. No matter what texture, but you are petting it, this color and the cut combination are perfect for all your easy-care girls and guys out there!

Blue Ombre

How would you describe this look?

This look is minimalist yet stylish and dimensional through the color and layers.

One of my favorite pieces of this look is the dark blue ombre, which blends seamlessly into the dark roots. Darker roots allow regrowth to be less obvious, thus reducing grooming. In addition, since it is in a darker shade, the color lasts longer and even if it fades, it will fade beautifully. Dark blue is one of the coolest shades ever.

Any advice for someone considering it?

If you are dark-haired and want a very easy-care look, this beautiful dark blue ombre can definitely be one of your inspirations. You do not necessarily dye your entire head to achieve that look. I will also recommend this to clients with strict office wear, as this subtle dark blue ombre definitely does not stand out in the eyes of HR.

Brown Ombre

How would you describe this look?

I've created this reverse ombre with a color fusion technique, from its natural blond mixed colors to the darkest brown. The cut consists of long layers, which are designed with Biolage thermal active spray and a large curling iron.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This color is perfect for a natural blonde who desires a dramatic change without much care.
