@Faraway-R I've done some work on the image and updated it in both places. Let me know what you think! This goes to everyone, actually. If there's something wrong with the image, in terms of colour balance at least, I can probably tweak it.

MUCH, MUCH better. Thank you!

My complaint was mostly on facial skin tone, it was a very unhealthy pallor (or some really wonky colored lighting).

I have a couple of nitpicks, but it's nitpicks - or in other words, nothing to really complain about. Well, three of them.

Hair (top-left on the picture) still has a little greenish tint.
Shoulder (right, and to the bottom of the picture) has a little purplish tint.
Finally, the neck on the same side as the shoulder, is a little bit whitewashed.

I'm not telling you to change them - but those are the areas you might like to give a glance.
Save the as-is image somewhere, it's already fine.
 
I wish I could put in a side vote for "a guide" because I think it would be acceptable too.

I've been saving them as I work, but as it's just playing with layers it doesn't matter all that much. I'll probably try to normalise the tints and do something with the neck area. Thank you for pointing it all out!

I'm actually going to leave this up overnight, as the number of write-ins has grown.

Is this valid @Snowfire ?

Otherwise just swap Teacher in for Guide.

I didn't get any alerts when my posts were quoted or when I got tagged or whatever it's called. SV, why you no notify me?

Speaking of omake coupons...

After much internal debate and/or several coin flips, I'd like to order one The Blood of Red Sands from the shop please, @Snowfire. :)

That's what some early mathematicians said, but it just isn't true. Zero has a representation and a concrete value. It's a number.

More formally, math is more useful if we treat it as if zero is a number. You absolutely can construct systems in which it doesn't exist, but they usually aren't of any use, unless maybe if the reason it's not is that none of the integers are part of it.

Yeah, I'm a formalist. What of it?

To the disgusting reprobates laughing, I would like you to know that The List now has critical firmware errors and other such ~fun~ things included where it comes to Iris and her new body(ies). You have been warned :|
 
If we're talking about robots being divided by Zero, that describes a large chunk of the Mega Man X series.
 
Now, mathematically speaking, you'd need to define the result of this operation ... but given what we've seen so far of this Universe, you might simply get root access to the underlying OS - "an unexpected exception occured. Enter debug mode?"

Vote will close in four hours. I need to do a few things, and we had a powercut today that held me up. If I don't close the vote on schedule, assume another powercut occurred.
