Shhh... secret draft designs. Don't tell Twitter yet. Please give me any feedback, and feel free to read my many design thoughts under the cut. Also feel free to use the designs yourself.

Alright! The things right at the top that i wanted to keep in mind were things in the series that are distinct to mechanites vs things warforged have.

As far as I remember, there are only two notable ones. Mechanites have jaws that cannot move, instead they have face plates that can open up. And while the other isn't stated in canon, warforged have crystals in their eyes, and mechanites are never pictured or described in that way.

I almost broke the first rule on purpose with DX-TR, seeing as he's described as human-like and the negotiator, but as I was going through the series again, he was explicitly stated to have the same stiff jaw.

The only heights (I think) we have were that VR-LA got the haha funny meme number at 6'9", MR-SN was a few inches taller, and C-RA is at least as tall as Finbar (7'2"). From there, I wanted DX-TR to be nearly as tall as VR-LA, so he's around 6'6"/6'7". E-DN is about the same height as him because I feel like with her satyr legs, her being taller made sense. I put K-LB around 6'2" because I was originally going to have a slight joke that this height was after he'd already made mods to himself with heels and his mohawk. I didn't like how the heels came out, so I left it out. AS-TR is the shortest at the bare minimum height for warforged at 5'10". I'll get into that in the section discussing her design.

While it didn't really come up in these designs, since VR-LA has been pictured with yellow eyes, and described with blue, I've headcanoned that mechanites eyes change color based on how much processing they're doing. So the default would be blue, when they're calm and just hanging out. Their eyes switch to yellow when they're concentrating or focused on something specific. Orange is when they're flustered or upset. Red is the dramatic color for when they're really angy. I'd imagine someone like DX-TR can deliberately control it to avoid giving away some tell, but I don't think it's common for mechanites to do it.

The designs are mostly based on the same shapes and pieces that VR-LA has, rather than Vice/He-11, as those feel like they're kind of unusual in that regard. And even if they're not, I'd still chalk it up as a difference in their plane of origin. Onto individual character notes!

C-RA was described as being large, having a sort of knights templar, aesthetic, somewhat like living armor but more organic. Mostly what I referenced was plate armor, so pretty straight-forward. That being said, I feel like her design's a little plain. I wanted to add something to her head to help distinguish her head silhouette more. Plus I feel like her colors are too desaturated, and she just doesn't really have a shape that carries throughout her design. Idk, it's fine, but it just doesn't feel striking.

MR-SN was described as being slender, regal, and with a permanent smile in his eyes. I feel like I had a similar issue with him that I had with C-RA where there doesn't seem to be anything that carries through his design. I feel like I captured the face pretty well at least where he looks kind and kind of like a dad who's just proud of you. He's one I kind of feel like with clothes, his design might work better. I had no clue what color to go for, so it's just a color that I thought would be unique enough to the group.

VR-LA is just based on his season 1 art. The only thing I changed from how I drew him before, was mostly just proportions, like around the joints. I wanted him to be a thin, scrawny nerd, so he's also more narrow than before. My goal was half of C-RA's size, and I think C-RA's about 1 1/2 VR-LA's, so it's close enough.

DX-TR was described as human-like and bald with a flesh tone color. He was honestly really easy. As a joke, I referenced Seth Everman for his face sculpt, and I think it came out well. Mostly I referenced human muscles for his sculpt. I considered giving him tattoos, but didn't really have any ideas for that. He's got two notably unique traits from the rest of the group. He's the only one without shoulder pauldrons, which I kinda want to change, but idk there, and the light in his eyes is round rather than the cross design I treated as baseline. I wanted a less human saturation in skin, and I don't think I achieved that, but I'm not sure it'd look as good. I kinda want him more uncanny valley, but idk what to do there.

E-DN was described as a similar mechanite design as VR-LA, but with satyr legs. I gave her horns and horizontal pupils, mostly just for variety. I gave her a little more of just a round shape compared to VR-LA's more angular shapes. Her design I like over all. I like the colors, and I think the mint accents help her stand out. She's got good shapes and a good silhouette. And everything feels like it came out pretty well with her.

K-LB I'm torn on. I almost feel like he stands out too much. As far as what's described, I had the hardest time figuring out his design. He's described as a standard mechanite that's gold with fine gold filigree that looks like wire mesh, as well as a blue glow from his arms. I was going for somewhere around a punk-ish Rodney Copperbottom from Robots kind of idea. The filigree mesh I just used a nonsense text brush because i didn't have any specific ideas there. I like how the yellows/blues look together. I like the hexagon shape that carries throughout. His silhouette's mostly different enough from everyone else. I don't think he's too saturated. Yet I just don't feel like his design fits him, and I don't know what to do. He's the one I feel like scrapping and redoing the most.

AS-TR was described with long hair, and a slight glow, but didn't have much of a description as far as I remember otherwise. She had two notable design inspirations. Selûne and my cat who coincidentally has the same name (mostly my cat lol). One of Selûne's avatar's is described as long limbed (which is kind of how I just drew the mechanites), with pale hair, dusty skin, and green eyes. The pattern around her eyes is a less exaggerated version of some of her iconography. Her eyes are tinted green with her holy symbol as the shape of the lights. If I were smart, I'd actually have put all seven of the stars that are a part of Selûne's holy symbol (and I might change that later). Aster (my cat) is a tiny little black cat with a grey undercoat and two tiny lil white spots. So from there, I made AS-TR the smallest mechanite, she's two different shades of grey, and she has two little white spots on her chest in a similar size, shape, and location as Aster's. As a result of the name coincidence, and from what we've seen, similar personality, AS-TR is required to be my favorite, lol. Even excluding that though, I do like how her design came out too. Like I said, I might change the design slightly to have the seven stars across her, and I might change the greys to have more contrast because they're too similar, but the whole design came close to what I had in mind.

Over all, I'm pretty satisfied with all of these designs, and while there's things I'm going to change, I think these are all pretty solid.

Hi- sorry, was forced to use my main bc for some reason Tumblr doesn't let me ask with my side account for rwd-

Who's who in your Utena au?

*fLAILING!!!* (also yea I think that's like. An intentional thing Tumblr does, not entirely sure why.)

Okay so we of course know Dani = Utena, VR-LA = Anthy. Starting with my strongest choices then going on in no particular order:

Roy is our Wakaba. He has to be. Roy fucking tackling Dani nearly sending both of them tumbling into the courtyard?? Dani initially joining in on the duels over his honor not knowing what the fuck she's truly getting herself into??? Roy being jealous over how much time she spends with VR-LA now???? The Black Rose Arc??????? It's so good It's So Good!!!

For my next strongest choice: MR-SN as Dios. Obviously. If I'm fucking with the theming to be less about gender roles and more about class/caste roles (as is the case when I've changed the 'because you're a girl' line into 'because you are nothing') then of course MR-SN needs to be the image of The Perfect Self-Made Captain In Charge.

However: the situation with Dios vs Akio is weird. Because everyone from Akio and Dios themselves to the visual language the show uses present the two of them as two completely separate people, and Anthy and her brother are clearly not mortal humans. Anthy has been suffering constantly for long enough that the event that started this and the folk tale version of the event passed down culturally bear next to no resemblance to one another. So we could frame it as Dios and Akio being different aspects of the same conceptual being. Dios died in the same way Pan greek god of the wild died. He's dead because people say he is, but he can never be gone forever. In Dios's case, he has been replaced by a version of himself that 'grew up' and 'lost his nobility'. He's still Anthy's older brother, but he is not Dios.

We're gonna make the call that they're to be represented by different characters and have DX-TR be Akio, mainly for his connection to VR-LA and the fact that he canonically killed Dani once.

Emi is Chu-Chu. Enough said. No notes.

I'm choosing a Nanami next because she's my favorite. Davion is our Nanami. Because think about it: Nanami is introduced lashing out at Anthy because Anthy is valued and coveted by the world and has the attention and (as far as Nanami can tell) affection of her older brother who Nanami sees as her whole world. It's infuriatingly unfair to her that Anthy would be (from Nanami's point of view) constantly rewarded with adoration and protection for what Nanami intuitively clocks as an act. Even if it's a 'there's no way, she's too good to be true' kind of impulse, she is right! Anthy performs this perfect feminine damsel image that everyone defines her by, and Nanami cannot fucking stand that seemingly everyone values Anthy over Nanami for ~performing well~. Anthy gets everything just for being fake and that's just not fair! What kind of vampiric freak does that on purpose??

If we are changing the themes to be about class roles and meritocracy instead of gender roles, of course Davion would make an excellent Nanami, because VR-LA himself says 'Competence is not a good look on you, Davion' in canon and he just fuckin' takes it. But what if he had reason to Fucking Hate VR-LA For It? Think of the drama: Davion calling VR-LA captain as a dig because they both know that's not his real station and VR-LA smiling back at him in that unsettling way Anthy smiles at Nanami. Davion realizing Dani is special for some ephemeral reason he doesn't understand despite knowing for a fact she's lower on the totem pole that him and VR-LA, and he shouldn't be bothered by the things she says and does But He Is! Davion being constantly suspicious of both of them yet constantly hovering around them trying to understand.

Another fun casting: Cassimere as Sayoji. Top notch I'd say. Do I even need to explain this one? The exchange diary scenes alone would be fucking hysterical, and the scene of Anthy fully dropping the way she used to speak to Sayonji but with VR-LA and Cassimere? Perfection.

If Cassimere is Sayonji, I would then posit K-LB as Touga and I know that's horribly cursed and their personalities aren't even a little similar, but like think about it: K-LB and Dani interacting with the leadership and ownership they're aiming for in wildly different ways the same way Touga and Utena interact with the idea of masculinity and princeliness in ways that cause them to clash yet that they both almost understand one another over. K-LB being close to DX-TR because DX-TR has promised him the way to view 'something eternal'. K-LB winning VR-LA and chatting with him all chipper-like asking him some of the same questions he's seen Dani ask him and getting different answers. K-LB trying one last time to make some kind of executive decision over Dani and VR-LA at the end, begging them not to listen to End of the World and Dani Just Not Trusting Him. I love it. Tastey drama.

I'm making Elyse, Love and Finbar my Shiori, Ruka, and Juri respectively. This feels really mean to Specifically Elyse but also the three of them would be So Fucking Good for this??? I promise, I promise it's a good idea. I'm so sorry Elyse.

Kyana and Ione as Miki and Kozue? The fuckin' Tastey Drama??? Codependency my (fictional) beloved!! The duels with Miki and Utena, but with Kyana and Dani CAN YOU IMAGINE?

Oh god. I Completely On Accident made it so the badminton scene would be happening between the 3 non-VR-LA members of the og crew absjdhskzbazoxbxg

#rolling with difficulty #asks #dani rwd #kyana rwd #finbar rwd #vr-la rwd #revolutionary with difficulty #rwd au #i love this I love this I love this #words from the jam jar

CES 2019: here’s what you can expect from the annual tech-stravaganza

CES 2019 is almost here – and while we’re sure to see some surprises, we’ve also had a flurry of announcements from LG, Samsung and others about what they’re planning or not planning to showcase at the huge Las Vegas convention.

We’ve been keeping up with all the new announcements as they happen and our team has been working hard to prepare for this year’s event. What we’re expecting is an absolute deluge of news on January 8, followed by a non-stop scavenger hunt trying to find the best products of the show. It’s exhausting work, but there’s no place like Vegas during CES.

Each year, Sin City plays host to the gadget extravanganza that is the Consumer Electronics Show, now officially shortened to its acronym, CES. It’s the time of year where tech innovators from all over the world gather to announce the latest and greatest in smartphones, wearables, TV and audio tech. New laptops, tablets and smart cars fill row after row of booths at the Las Vegas Convention Center with all the tech coming in the next few years.

Last January we saw innovation in droves at CES 2018, from Samsung’s 146-inch modular MicroLED TV, The Wall, and the incredible HTC Vive Pro to LG’s rollable 65-inch OLED TV and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. It’s the world’s biggest tech show, and it’s poised to become even bigger in 2019.

Can’t wait until opening day on January 8? Read on! We’ve got all the details, predictions and postulations for what you can expect to see at CES 2019.

[Update: Not sure what to expect at CES 2019? In a recent interview with Tom’s Guide, CTA President Gary Shapiro offered his predictions for the top trends of the show. The list includes artificial intelligence in more devices and industries, 5G for phones and an emphasis on digital health after Facebook’s awful privacy mismanagement in 2018. Want to see what each manufacturer is up to? We’ve got a full list further down the page.]

What and when is CES 2019?

The 2019 International CES will begin on Tuesday, 8 January and end on Friday, 11 January. It’s been taking place since 1967 and is staged by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), a trade organization that represents over 2,000 consumer tech companies in the U.S.

Though it gets a lot of attention from the world’s media, this is not an event where the public can go see the latest tech. Unlike the IFA exhibition in Berlin each August, the CES is open only to the electronics trade, as well as journalists, bloggers and plenty of blaggers. (You know who you are…)

How big exactly is CES? It’s huge. If you’re going for the first time, go on a few five-mile walks in the preceding weeks. Seriously, it’s hiking boots-big. There are 2.75 million net square feet of exhibit space. Eleven venues. 24 product categories. Some company’s booths are vast and complex, while other, smaller firms grab a table in one of the 25 marketplaces.

In terms of footfall, the CES attracts about 180,000 people from 155 countries, as well as 6,500 media, who visit 4,500 exhibiting companies. All the biggest tech companies in the world gather … well, except for Apple.

Where will CES 2019 take place?

Since 1978 the CES has been staged in Las Vegas. Why? Hotel rooms, all 150,000 of them, and counting. The main venue is the Las Vegas Convention and World Trade Center (LVCC), which is a short (and very busy) monorail ride from The Strip, where most of the hotels are.

Along with the nearby Westgate Las Vegas and Renaissance Las Vegas, this is referred to as Tech East. This is where most of the major booths are. Tech West (comprising the Sands Expo, The Venetian, The Palazzo, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore) is where you’ll find hi-fi and audio.

At Tech South (ARIA, Park MGM/Park Theater and Vdara) you’ll see VR, AR, and gaming. There are shuttle buses between the venues, but it’s best to stay put for the day at one of the three areas to avoid the traffic.

When do all the announcements happen?

Although the weeks before the CES are packed with rumors and reports of what may or may not be launched or announced at the CES, it’s not until Sunday, January 6 and Monday, January 7 – the two days before the show opens – that there will be any concrete news. These are the two media days, and they’re when the all-important press conferences are held, and consequently when a lot of the headlines are written.

Sunday is typically light on news, and in 2019 it’s Monday that will see the big companies’ press conferences at the Mandalay Bay Hotel at the south end of The Strip. In 2019, confirmed press conferences include Hisense, Hyundai, Intel, LG, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony, TCL, and Toyota.

As for whom is actually giving these nail-biting presentations, the first will come from LG on Monday, 7 January; its President and Chief Technology Officer Dr. I.P. Park will discuss AI and ‘self-evolving’ products … and a foldable phone?

January 8 will see keynotes from IBM Chairman, President and CEO Ginni Rometty (trust, AI and quantum) and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg (5G), while January 9 has AMD’s president and CEO Dr. Lisa Su discuss next-gen computing.

CES 2019 predictions: what’s going to be announced

Just give the attendance list a cursory glance and you’ll see that a lot of bases are covered at CES – you’ll find AR and VR, voice control, connected cars, robotics, smart home, smart cities, health, wellness, sleep, sports, accessories companies, and everything in between.

However, in 2019 there are some trends that are likely to dominate.

The most obvious will be voice control. “Well definitely see more smart speakers with screens,” says Jack Wetherill, Principal Consultant: Home Electronics at Futuresource, who also thinks CES will see voice creep into more and more product categories, such as soundbars possibly from Samsung, Sony and LG. The TV remote control could finally begin its death throes.

“There has already been one TV with far-field microphones in the set itself,” says Wetherill, referring to Toshiba’s upcoming OLED, 4K HDR, and Full HD smart ranges with Alexa built in. CES could also see the spread of Netflix Calibrated Mode beyond some Sony TVs.

Headphones will also get chatty. “A new Alexa development kit from Qualcomm means we’ll see more integration of voice into headphones,” says Wetherill. “We’re waiting for headphones that respond to a wake-word, and while that probably won’t emerge at CES 2019, we will see true wireless earphones with longer battery life – it would be logical if Sony brought more ‘true wireless’ products at CES.”

Another trend will be foldable displays, with the Samsung Galaxy X likely to feature alongside LG’s foldable.

However, foldables could go much deeper than mere phones. “Where we’re expecting real change is laptops and tablets,” says Tom Morrod, Senior Research Director, IHS Markit. “We are expecting to see foldable laptops with OLED screens that extend across the entire keyboard area – this means you could open them up to monitor size, or to book format, or use them as a normal laptop format with the keyboard as half of the touch panel.” But how, exactly, Android and Windows adapt their OS for foldable devices will be interesting. Last but not least, connected cars at CES 2019 could also see integrated OLEDs to replace wing mirrors.

Want specific predictions for each company? We’ve got those, too!

Aircharge at CES 2019

Wireless charging is on the up, and the CES will definitely see three new products from Aircharge: a Fast Wireless Charger 10W, Fast Dual Charger 10W, and a PS4 DualShock 4 Wireless Adapter. Both chargers will deliver 10W fast wireless charging, including both Apple and Samsung fast wireless charging.

AMD at CES 2019

Semiconductor company AMD has already said that it intends to show-off its 3rd-gen Ryzen processors and new graphics products at CES 2019.

According to a recent leak, that will include three new entry-level Ryzen 3 processors (3300, 3300X, 3300G), three mid-range Ryzen 5 processors (3600, 3600X, 3600G) and two Ryzen 7 processors (3700, 3700X). On top of the mainline processors, AMD might also surprise us with a few new mobile processors in the form of the 2.6GHz AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, 2.1GHz AMD Ryzen 3 3300U CPU and 2.1GHz AMD Ryzen 5 3500U.

Beyond processors, CES 2019 might be the place that we see the company’s next AMD Navi GPUs – though, that seems a little less likely than the 3rd-gen processors.

There’s also talk of a new Radeon graphics card, with 7nm Vega II GPUs possibly making an appearance.

All the latest AMD CES 2019 news:

Asus at CES 2019

How about a high-end 10-inch Chrome OS tablet? That’s what AndroidHeadlines.com reports that ASUS will be using CES 2019 to announce.

With last year’s revamped Zenbook models and Alexa-enabled mesh router, the Asus Lyra Voice, we’re excited to see what else Asus could show off this time around.

Canon at CES 2019

CanonRumors.co reports that CES 2019 could see the unveiling of a Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III – complete with a new image sensor and a longer zoom range – and possibly a G9 X Mark III. That rumor seems to be even more likely than ever now that Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III product images surfaced online.

Intel at CES 2019

Is Nvidia about to get a serious challenge in the high-end graphics card market? If reports from Anthony Garreffa at TweakTown are anything to go by, a discrete graphics card could be coming from Intel.

In the world of processors, rumor has it that Intel is developing a new 10-core, 20-thread CPU codenamed Comet Lake that will be based on yet another iteration of Intel’s 14nm process. If the rumors are true, this will be the first time Intel has outpaced AMD in the CPU core war in a very long time.

LG at CES 2019

It’s confirmed, LG will definitely have TVs at CES 2019. We can safely say that because the Korean-based electronics manufacturer already announced the Alpha 9 (Gen. 2) TV processor that will power its 2019 OLED TVs. Details were sparse on how it would significantly improve this year’s Alpha 9, but it could be saving that for CES.

We’ve also heard a lot of buzz about LG’s rollable OLED that was available to see behind closed doors at last year’s CES. It’s not confirmed yet, but there’s a good chance it will be available to see on the show floor in 2019. (Actually, that’s almost a given considering that it could be on sale in 2019.)

We also know LG will be showcasing two new ‘ultra’ monitors for the worker bees and committed gamers out there: one being a super-sized 49-inch UltraWide monitor, the other a new 144 Hz UltraGear gaming monitor. LG will also be showing off a new range of high-end Dolby Atmos soundbars, all three of which are launching with Google Assistant built in.

Will LG bring more ‘ThinQ’ branded smart home products? Probably. However, there are also rumors that LG’s CES 2019 keynote will see the unveiling of a foldable phone – though, it might not be available to check out at the show. We may instead have to wait until MWC 2019 to hear about that, though in the meantime we’re likely to hear more on the LG G8 flagship phone before it releases in March with a built-in 3D camera.

Either way, look out for pre-Christmas, pre-CES announcements of B-lister products – it’s an annual tradition from LG’s predictable Comms team.

All the latest LG CES 2019 news:

Nvidia at CES 2019

According to a fresh rumor, Nvidia will reveal its GeForce RTX Mobility graphics cards at CES 2019, supposedly on January 6, which would be in the pre-show run-up to the official start of the event (on January 8).

If the rumor from Wccftech turns out to be true, we’ll see the RTX 2070 and the 2070 Max-Q parts along with the 2060, 2050 Ti and 2050 in Vegas early next month.

Moreover, Nvidia may be preparing more than just RTX graphics for laptops at CES 2019, with a reference to MX250 graphics just appearing in an HP laptop listing.

The supposed HP Zahn 66 Pro 14 G2 Notebook PC was reportedly listed somewhere by HP with an Nvidia GeForce MX250 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, first shared by Twitter user Momomo.

All the latest Nvidia CES 2019 news:

Royole at CES 2019

The world’s first foldable phone? That could well come at CES from Royole, which recently teased the FlexPai, the 7.8-inch AMOLED screen that folds in half.

Samsung at CES 2019

A CES launch for the previously announced Samsung Galaxy Home smart speaker – compete with Bixby – seems a shoo-in, but will Samsung launch its Galaxy X foldable phone? “While the full Samsung launch might be at Mobile World Congress we could instead see the Samsung Galaxy S10 launched at CES, which won’t be foldable but will have 5G and triple camera, plus a new notch design on the front panel,” says Tom Morrod, Senior Research Director, IHS Markit.

Looking to get ahead of the deluge of news, Samsung has announced two new versions of its Samsung Notebook 9 Pen 2-in-1 laptop. Scheduled for a vague ‘2019’ release and with no pricing to speak of, the laptops are both a rehash (13.3-inch) and an expansion (15-inch) of the late 2017 debut model.

We will also almost certainly see Samsung refresh its TV line-up, which will mean more advanced QLED TVs (though probably not a new version of the recent 85-inch Q900R 8K QLED TV). However, if a recent patent filing is anything to go by, we could see a transparent TV. Since Samsung is often launching design-led screens, that wouldn’t be a surprise – though if you’re after some more practical features, the newly announced Remote Access should be able to source files, programs and cloud services from connected devices and computers direct to your TV.

What we do know for sure at this point is that Samsung will enhance its Serif TV and The Frame designer screens with QLED tech. The new screens will make their debut at the show and, according to Samsung, will reside in the large lifestyle TV exhibition zone of Samsung’s booth.

The last rumor we’ve heard concerning Samsung 2019 TVs is that they might include both Bixby and Google Assistant – giving users the choice over which assistant they’d like to use.

All the latest Samsung CES 2019 news:

Sony at CES 2019

There’s likely to be an almighty rush to launch the first 5G-ready phones in 2019, and Sony’s desire to be first-to-market could mean that the CES 2019 sees the appearance of a 5G Xperia phone.

It’s also possible that Sony will use CES 2019 to launch its 5.9-inch XA3 and 5.7-inch Xperia L3 budget phones, according to KnowYourMobile.com. Sony may also launch a smart speaker-with-a-screen, following in LG’s footsteps.

Spotify at CES 2019

The streaming service doesn’t normally deal in hardware, but could Spotify use CES 2019 to launch its own voice search interface to compete with Amazon Echo and Google Home? Spotify has suites reserved at the Wynn Encore …

One thing’s for sure, after CES 2019 the world of tech won’t ever be the same.

MWC 2013: Bigger handsets, littler tablets, more phablets A round up of gossipy tidbits and what you may see manifest from the show floor.

Every year, we're met with the yearly circuitous of innovation driven expos where organizations flaunt pending items and construct buildup around new ones—some of which end up being vaporware. The current year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is the same, however a few of the organizations have been so eager to present their new handsets and cell phones that they've as of now spilled points of interest or made declarations in front of the show.

Still, there are a modest bunch of organizations who have kept mum until the show floor formally opens, yet there is no lack of bits of gossip with respect to what these organizations may report. The current year's MWC is by all accounts concentrated on bigger show sizes, littler tablets, and the sky is the limit from there "phablet" half breed cell phones turning into an industry standard. We've been following the talk process about what's to come and ordered everything into a helpful manual for let you comprehend what to anticipate in the current year's versatile wars.

Samsung's new relatives

What does the world's greatest handset producer have slated for the show? Bits of gossip indicate a surge of gadgets being reported in the following month, yet just two will purportedly make their presentation at MWC.First up is the following cycle of the Galaxy Note tablet, which has everything except been affirmed as the 8-inch comparable to Samsung's present 10-inch line. A lot of spy shots have sprung up charging to be Samsung's attack into the littler tablet world. A few outlets say that the Galaxy Note 8.0 will hit retailers in March and will come furnished with 16GB of memory, 2GB of RAM, a 1280×800 determination, and a quad-center processor, while others are expecting that it will be likewise estimated to Asus' Nexus 7 tablet. It might likewise come bundled with a S pen, which will presumably tuck conveniently into the gadget, and it ought to come in both Wi-Fi and 3G flavors. Its frame figure will likewise take after line with past Samsung tablet outlines.

Samsung is likewise anticipated that would declare yet another successor to its Galaxy Note cross breed telephone. The Galaxy Note III will don a massive 6.3-inch screen, which will be filled by the organization's pending eight-center Exynos 5 SoC. It's misty whether the declaration will be trailed by a discharge date, however it's totally likely Samsung will utilize the show to only prod the phablet device.While there are bits of gossip galore about the following Galaxy Note IV, apparently one of Samsung's top of the line handsets in the most recent year, a significant number of them indicate the telephone not being disclosed until at some point in March. Korean daily papers have likewise detailed that the Android handset may not really incorporate Samsung's own Exynos processors, but instead Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 600 quad-center SoC.

LG has as of now uncovered what's up its sleeve

Such a great amount for bits of gossip—LG has effectively declared the group of handsets that it will make a big appearance on the MWC demonstrate floor. The Optimus G Pro handset will have a 1080p-proficient 5.5-inch show and will land in the US this spring. The successor to the Optimus G highlights a Full HD IPS show and checks in at 1.7GHz with its Snapdragon 600 processor. The telephone additionally includes two new camera modes named Dual Recording and Virtual Reality (VR) Panorama. The previous will empower clients to at the same time catch video with both the front and back cameras, while the last will empower 360-degree displays. The Optimus G Pro will be in plain view at LG's stall on the MWC demonstrate floor.LG has additionally declared its mid-run Optimus F arrangement telephones. The Optimus F5 and F7 will make a big appearance on the show floor with 4.3-and 4.7-inch shows, individually. The Optimus F5 will highlight a 2,150 mAh battery and 1.2Ghz double center processor, while the Optimus F7 will offer a 2,540 mAh battery with a 1.5GHz double center processor. Both will come furnished with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and will incorporate numerous LG-particular components, as QSlide and Live Zooming.

Ultimately, LG will likewise be flaunting the up and coming era of its well known L arrangement telephones. This will incorporate the Optimus L3 II, Optimus L5 II, and Optimus L7 II, with changing determinations for each. There's no word on whether any of the Optimus F or L arrangement cell phones will go to the US.

...Furthermore, HTC's as of now drawn out the huge One

Like LG, HTC as of now propelled the serious canons with its HTC One leader handset at an official occasion prior this week in New York City. The One is a quad-center, 4.7-inch, 1080p Android telephone with what it calls a "UltraPixel" camera, which the organization affirms can catch 300 percent more light than ordinary cell phone cameras. Inside, the telephone additionally has a similar Snapdragon 600 processor highlighted in a couple of alternate handsets in plain view at MWC. The One incorporates HTC's refreshed UI overlay, Sense UI 5.0, and will start to take off in the US at some point in late March.

Huawei could go more slender, water-safe

Handsets appear to get greater, as well as water-safe too. While we were at that point acquainted with Huawei's monstrous Ascend Mate at CES, it shows up it's likewise wandering into water-safe domain, à la the Sony Xperia Z. The Ascend P2 has clearly been ensured as water-and clean safe, and it might highlight a 4.5-inch show, and in addition a quad-center 1.8GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 3,000 mAh battery pack. A few holes have additionally demonstrated that it might be 6.45mm thick and stuffed up in a smooth, metallic frame.

In any case, we've additionally heard that the Ascend P2 won't have 1080p in light of the fact that the pixel thickness is evidently squandered on the human eye on such a little show measure (we may need to concur). It will rather choose a 4.7-inch, 720p HD touch screen instead of the 4.5-inch 1080p HD board. Once more, no word on when or on the off chance that it will make it to the US.

Shouldn't something be said about Sony?

Despite the fact that Sony as of late propelled the Xperia Z and ZL at CES, it's conceivable the organization could have an inevitable phablet in the diversion, as well. Kid Genius Report calls attention to spills around a 6.44-inch show outline with Sony marking—however that is about it. The organization will in any event be on the show floor touting its most recent Xperia cell phones and the as of late declared Xperia Z tablet, yet it would be a significant shock if Sony reported yet another gadget at MWC.

Asus will declare a phone...tablet...thing

Asus had a hit staring its in the face this year with the Nexus 7 tablet, so we're anticipating what the organization has in store for MWC. On Wednesday, Asus discharged a mystery video for its anticipated Padfone. While the video is a bit Cloverfield-esque (you can watch it over), it's a reasonable marker that Asus presumably has another Padfone in transit. What's indistinct is whether it will in reality have the going with tablet-dock that has been supposed. The expression "Asus unleashes the following versatile change" persuades this might be so. The organization is required to make the official declaration on Monday.

It ain't all Android

Since Mozilla declared Firefox OS finally year's MWC, we're trusting that more makers will turn out in support of it this year. ZTE is one of those organizations that may convey a Firefox OS-perfect telephone, prove by the ZTEMozilla hashtag that it suggested in an email welcome that went out to MWC participants.

In the Windows Phone domain, Nokia is additionally anticipated that would make a couple of declarations. The Lumia 520 and 720 might be declared on Monday, notwithstanding a few low-to mid-go models from Nokia's Asha arrangement. While there were thunderings of a Windows-based tablet, gossipy tidbits have clearly been exposed by investigators at Strategy Analytics.

Trends to watch at NAB 2017

Next week is the annual National Association of Broadcasters show, or NAB, in Las Vegas, Nevada. NAB is primarily an industry conference, and isn't generally focused on consumer products, but we go to NAB because it often gives us a window into the future. Tools and technologies created for Hollywood or the broadcast industry have a funny way of tricking down to everyman products over the next few years, and that's usually a good thing (3D television being a notable exception, in my opinion).

So, let's take a look at a few of the product categories we'll be watching at NAB next week that have the potential to impact us not-named-Spielberg types in the coming years.

Tools for Emerging Filmmakers

The filmmaking industry has changed a lot in the past few years: technology has become better, costs have come down, and tools suitable for serious content creation are now accessible to anyone with a dream of producing films and the passion to make it happen. This transformation has ushered in an explosion of what are often referred to as 'emerging filmmakers.'

These are people who often started making films with DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, but have grown their skills or businesses to the point where they need better, dedicated tools. They include independent filmmakers, small businesses working for commercial clients, or any number of other filmmaking roles. Some things they have in common are that they care about creating high quality content, have high expectations for production value, and they don't have upwards of $20,000 to buy a single cinema lens.

This category has grown large enough that we're seeing more companies which have historically catered to the high end cinema market now looking to meet emerging filmmakers' needs. Whether it's to drive revenue or create brand loyalists, we're seeing more tools designed and priced for these users. By way of example, in the past year we've seen cinema lenses such as Cookes and Fujinons with sub-$5,000 price points. We expect to see even more products aimed at emerging filmmakers at NAB.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Virtual reality is a technology that everyone, from manufacturers to content creators, seems to want to succeed, but which hasn't quite managed to do so. There's clearly a lot of unrealized promise, and even Hollywood executives will tell you they're spending a lot of money trying to figure out how to make it work. Will this be the year VR makes the leap?

NAB will once again feature a dedicated Virtual and Augmented Reality Pavillion where the VR community can show off its latest technology. And there are clearly a lot of businesses betting big money on it, ranging from consumer-focused companies like Yi Technologies, which plans to announce VR capture devices at the show, to the likes of 360 Designs, whose Flying EYE drone system will livestream 360º 6K content from miles away for a cool $75,000.

The big question is whether any of the VR products or technologies we see at NAB this year will be enough to get significant traction in the market, or collectively move the needle toward wider adoption of VR by consumers, but the industry isn't giving up on this one yet.

8K Technology

We actually saw 8K display technology for the first time at NAB a couple years ago. And yes, it's good bleeping amazing. Last year, Canon had an 8K reference display in its booth with a magnifying glass next to it, teasing you to try to see the pixels. After all, with 8K you're collecting about the same number of pixels as a Nikon D810. In bursts of 24 or 30 frames. Every second. Think of the memory cards you're going to need... but I digress...

What does 8K mean for photographers, videographers, and emerging filmmakers? Right now, not a lot. In fact, it's unlikely we'll even see 8K TVs being widely marketed to consumers for a number of years. But on the content creation side, there's a lot to be said for 8K. With 4K quickly moving in the direction of becoming a standard for viewing content, 8K will give content creators the same advantages that 4K acquisition has for creating 1080p content. Right now we're still talking about very expensive, high end pro cinema and broadcast equipment, but what we see at NAB is often a preview to what we'll see in less expensive gear a few years down the road.

And 8K technology may come faster than we expect. We've seen 4K gain fairly wide adoption very quickly, and most of the industry seems hell-bent on a collision course between full 8K broadcast and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (having already demonstrated it at London 2012 and run test broadcasts from Rio 2016). Some of this 8K goodness (or massive data storage overhead, if you're the glass-half-empty type) may start filtering its way into our cameras in the next few years.

HDR Video

HDR video is pretty much what it sounds like: high dynamic range video that lets us see brighter brights, darker darks, and more shades in between. It's like HDR photos, but with motion, and done well it can look pretty amazing. From a consumer perspective, most talk about HDR video these days relates to TVs, but the market is still sorting itself out. As the old adage goes, 'The great thing about standards is that we have so many to choose from.' Between HDR10, Dolby Vision, and Hybrid Log-Gamma, there's plenty of room for the marketers to fight it out and educate consumers on the jargon.

But what we're most interested in is content creation, or HDR video capture. Admittedly, there's not a lot here for the enthusiast or prosumer at the moment. But... (and you know there's always a 'but') Panasonic has already told us to expect Hybrid Log-Gamma to be included in the mother of all firmware updates – or, as we affectionately know it, MOAFU (really rolls off your tongue, doesn't it) – that's coming for the Panasonic GH5 in summer 2017. We look forward to testing it. Once we figure out how to test it.

Drones

Love 'em or hate 'em, people are going to use drones for all kinds of things. (At least until Skynet, and we all know how that ends.) Of course, what we care about at DPReview is aerial imaging, whether it's still photography or video. The drone industry has exploded in the past few years, with tools ranging from octocopters that nonchalantly ferry around RED and Arri cameras to consumer products you can buy off the shelf and use to make your own movies.

As with other video categories, what started out as technology available only to well-funded production studios has quickly started to filter down to the emerging filmmaker or prosumer level. In fact, less than six months ago DJI introduced the Inspire 2 drone and Zenmuse X5S camera. That combo uses a Micro Four Thirds camera to shoot 5.2K CinemaDNG Raw video with a bit rate of 4.2Gbps. All for the price of a Canon 1D X II. This is Hollywood-level stuff. They even got cinematographer Claudio Miranda, ASC (Life of Pi) to make a film with it, though he had to carry it around in his hands for some shots.

Why do I bring up a product that was announced a few months ago? First, because it's an indication of where the technology is going, and competitors will need to find a way to respond. We'll be watching to see if that happens at NAB. And second, because for the love of God, DJI, can you please put this combination of tech into a regular camera? I don't care if it's a Micro Four Thirds camera the size of a Canon 1D X II, I will write you a check tomorrow.

Such is my plea.

Live Streaming

It used to be that we recorded home movies which we then forced our friends and family to watch over Thanksgiving. Later came the internet, so we could just send aunt Mabel a Vimeo link, or start a YouTube channel about cats with millions of followers.

Today that's no longer adequate. Things must be on the internet, and they must be on now! Whether it's Vloggers broadcasting live from a tradeshow floor using their iPhones, or sites like DPReview doing live webcasts from a studio, live streaming has gained a lot of momentum, and viewers are demanding higher quality live streams as time goes on.

We've already seen products to meet this need at a consumer level, whether it's a DJI Osmo that uses your phone to broadcast on Facebook Live, or the Blackmagic Web Presenter, which allows you to turn virtually any high quality camera into a streaming broadcast camera. We'll be on the watch for other products and technologies that will fuel our live streaming future. Though we can't promise to stream them to you live.

As is my tradition for anything I get sufficiently attached to, I've turned the Rolling With Difficulty PCs into magical girls. I picked their shows based on what would best fit their vibes, personalities, and arcs, so if you wanna play a trivially easy game, try figuring out which shows were applied to which crewmember and why, then click 'keep reading'. Tell me your results and what you thought in the tags n' such. (VR-LA's is the hardest one to guess but I feel like that's really not saying much) If you just wanna see my speedpaint, you can skip the game part.

Firstly is VR-LA. His magical girl transformation comes in the form of: Yuki Yuna is a Hero. A show I would never reccomend for someone to watch and is not good to riff on with friends, but I fully unironically loved it a lot when I was in the 7th grade. It's part moe club show, part secret dystopia, part Dark Magical Girl show, all deeply confused about itself its plot and what it's even trying to do, And Also the transformation sequences are So Uncomfortable. But! It has underdeveloped thematic elements of ignorance, discovery, fragility, and protection that fit Real Fuckin' Good for VR-LA, and also it is canon that you can lose your memories as a result of burning yourself out/price for power within the magic system so Bonus Amnesia Powerful Robot Points✨️! Also each girl gets a flower that I have to presume is thematically connected to her character, but I'm not fluent in flower language, so I did some light research and chose yellow begonias for reasons I no longer remember.

Next up is Dani. She's rocking: Revolutionary Girl Utena. I never assign shows I'm not familiar with so I literally picked up watching Revolutionary Girl Utena just to verify my strong hunch that it would make a good pick for Dani, and I was right! The entire first phase of the show revolves around Utena not giving a fuck about everyone else's nonsense as they spout vague jargon she absolutely does not care about or for. The structure of everyone around Utena outwardly caring way more about The Big Existential Questions at the core of the show (power and revolution, secrets lies and the truth, the inevitability of death) while Utena just calls it like she sees it and says 'I don't care about your revolution or the mechanics of this strange mystical nonsense, I care that you people are mistreating Anthy who is Clearly Already Deeply Damaged, and if whatever you chucklefucks are doing necessitates the mistreatment of a woman, I will stand against it.'; that structure fits So Well for Dani who cares only for herself and her closer associates and recklessly chases her gremlin impulses and personal desires no matter where they take her. She cares not for restriction and anything she deems such is violently rejected, 'You can only keep what you can fix and maintain', this absolutely fits the story of a gnc teenager getting wrapped up in a bunch of nonsense who makes her north star in the mire the care and keeping of another damaged girl.

Moving on, we have Finbar. His magical girl show de jour is: Cardcaptor Sakura. Gonna be real, his was the choice I was least confident in because Finbar as a character does not mesh into the magical girl genre easily; he is a primarily contented quiet man in his mid thirties with a storied life history, this is not the archetype that clicks snugly and smoothly into a genre built around self discovery, romance, redemption, and saving the world and your community through the power of love and friendship. But! The sense of comfort, security, and reliability that Finbar so easily embodies is exactly the vibe in Cardcaptor Sakura. It's the way his voice during a nice moment feels like being driven to school or sitting down for a meal, and in a bad situation sounds like someone rushing to your side or smacking away the thing coming to hurt you. It's how Sakura developing her little 'No matter what, I'll be alright' phrase mirrors Finbar's confidence that no matter how rough things get, all wrong things can be made right with a bit of work, grace, and time. It's about me not having to create a transformation outfit for him when I have no ideas that I don't think look stupid. I really loved basing his staff on his moon sickle and fairy theming.

Last but absolutely not least iiiisss Kyana~! Her magical girl show is well and away the easiest to guess since it's right in the name: she's a Pretty Cure. Now, Pretty Cure is massive and I haven't seen all of the shows, so to make her outfit, I cross referenced all the commonalities I noticed between the shows searching for the underlying design philosophy of the franchise and came out the other side with the old version that I fully redid from the ground up because it was incredibly C- and I like all my art to be a B or higher. It's not up there with the others, but you can find it just below this paragraph. At first I thought it was that Kyana fit the vibes, structure, and pathos of Precure, (very upbeat, leans real hard into Power Of Friendship, light and fluffy hand in hand with being sincere and not being shallow like her simplicity may make one assume) but didn't fit the visual design philosophy so it was just some inevitable clash I could do nothing about, but I realized about a month later that no! It was that I never gave her a theme! Each Precure team is variations on a core theme, and all I did was give her an outfit that could be described as Pretty Cure-esque.

I made a whole speedpaint about it, and am much happier with my Star Voyager Themed Kyana.

Here's the aforementioned speedpaint:

If you went thru the trouble of reading my Progressively Longer Paragraphs, you are a gem. Hav day♡
