The 'Osborne Effect' is named after the Osborne Computer Corporation, who had a successful personal computer in the early 1980s called the Osborne 1. Founder Adam Osborne began hyping their next-generation machine before it was built, and his hype was so effective that customers stopped buying Osborne 1s in anticipation. They went bankrupt and never finished the project.

I already finished my wraith for the Dungeons, Dragons & Drawings of today, but I can't scan it yet: it has to dry a bit first.

I used a lot of water trying new materials and techniques (and having a lot of fun).
