Let’s Blog. Part 2

All the otaku and army stuff aside.
There’s one thing I can never let go. That is illustration.

When I entered DMD, I neglected it thoroughly. It’s close to a GOOD 3 years that I did not do any illustrations at all.
Personally it’s a regret but there’s no point mopping over it.

Lost time is lost time, what I can do is to press on and go back to what I loved and cherish so much.

I restarted at around september last year, gone back to drawing anime again.
Warming up in september…

Something done in October

November

And I went to work till end of Jan 09. Not much of personal works but I think I gained many insights and skills. Especially when it comes to coloring and background.
So one last thing I did before I enlisted

FAST FORWARD TO NOW.
June. I’ve been really drawing anywhere I can, especially at work place. There’s a tablet in front of me. Pen and papers ALL OVER THE PLACE.
And this past 3 weeks I really drilled myself. And I personally saw some progress.

So my latest work

Pretty not very much appreciated still, It’s perhaps just deviantart. I seriously hope to see my works being appreciated more.
But for now all I need to know is I can fly much further.
AND I WILL FLY MUCH FURTHER. (Is that how swine flu came about?!)

That concludes part 2. Part 3? Maybe yes maybe no.

Let’s blog. Part 1

How long has it been….. Almost three months.

So 3 months ago I was underage and now I’m 21.
Shall try to type in proper caps while I remember.

So what have I done in this 3 months that I can actually talk about?

1) Posted under Registry/Visualisation team in a MINDEF department.
Let’s see… There was a huge event right at the moment I came into the dept.
To make things short. It was extremely busy and tiring. MANY overnights. But hey one thing nice was I get to overnight in a 5 star local hotel~
With that, I get 2 days of well deserved off; actually I thought another friend and I deserved more LOL.

2) Living pretty much like an otaku.
Heh… Thought I already did? Well actually yes. Not much change about my lifestyle. I still watch anime a lot. But I started buying moar figurines.
Deadly and extremely poisonous hobby. And yea NPNT. Let’ go through some pics in chronological order.

Tamaki Kousaka Temptation Ver, My 1st scaled figurine. 1/7 in scale. The day I bought her; the feeling was indescribable. Extremely poisonous feeling. 87 bucks.

Saber Figma~ This is a real steal. Got it from someone online for 28 bucks for such a rare and hard to find figurine! Very posable. GREAT STUFF!

Alice; A super cute figurine that I bought on impulse. Without regrets though! $30.

1/5 Yoko from Gift. She really mesmerised me the moment I see it online.
Struggled long and real hard and finally gave in to preordering it. $137

Nagi Nendoroid. The cute girl with blue hair~ (Guest star; Shana Nendo and Kagami Figma)
Forgot to do a proper photoshoot of her. Will do soon. She’s really super cute but very very pricey for such figurines.  54 bucks

Haruhi Gekisou Version. She’s a SERIOUS beauty.
1/8 in scale but the level of details is the highest that I have with me. (Not that I have many figurines but this is like WAH) Got it at 110 bucks.

Conclusion on the figurine conquest:

BROKE

So let’s go through some anime I’ve watched.

Macross Frontier. There’s 2 things I love about this anime. One is the background art; absolutely stunning work. Skies are so beautifully drawn! Certainly one of the best out there.
Next is RANKA LEE! She’s SOOOOOOO CUTE. She just appeals to me DAMN A LOT. Content wise… Most fights are epic, but the story didnt have the oh-I-so-want-to-watch-the-next-episode feel. The last episode was kinda bland with quite a cheesy ending. Ah… One thing I forgot to mention is the splendid OST! May’N is WIN. Diamond Crevasse is made of IMPACT.

Bamboo Blade! Wah… Great stuff. I started watching like for 4 episodes long long time ago and it was in chinese subs. I was lazy so I put on hold UNTIL ALMOST FOREVER.
Recently I dug out my animes and decided that I should watch this since so many people recommended it. This anime will get you hook on slowly. Characters are nicely carved out and the comedy is just LOL at times. I love Tamaki! She is so Moe! ATOMIC FIRE BLADE!

Still watching many ongoing animes but let’s just leave to next time.
Head on to the next part of the entry.
