Now that Actar’s gotten his figma Reimu, it’s time to fulfill what I planned to do earlier on. After reading his post, it’s good that he’s decided to go onto the background about what is “official” and the bits where he mentions fan work.  Because, if he didn’t, I’d be guessing he’d slip into one of [...]

(The first round of breakage mishaps can be found here.) Yes, another broken part on Den Yda. As usual, it ended up being on the armor piece. First couple days into the New Year and I get a nasty break like this. I’d probably shot down my grade from D to E now. When I was shooting in [...]

I’m hoping I can do better shooting this year, even with added priorities like doing art.  Looking back at the previous year, I could pinpoint exactly where things started going wrong.  I was still doing fine around May to June, with my photos and a large backlog to upload up to today.  Certainly, there were [...]

After several hours of being plastered, I’ve gotten around to unwrapping gifts! The Remilia + Flandre pair is the part that takes the cake among the loot. It’s the Scarlet Devil box, by the way. The Thyristor thing is actually a Vivitar 285HV, and that will help me with lighting setups when shooting. All I need left [...]

Wow, I was really plastered last night. I think I mixed my cocktails too hard, because after the second drink, I couldn't remember anything anymore and I found myself in a Zaku II being chased for hours on end by a crazy woman riding a Gundam.

The feeling of the event at Harbourfront, small as it is, felt a bit more private and intimate, that Swedish community feeling here for the upcoming Christmas...

Honestly, I arrived late at the parade, about more than half an hour since it had began. Before I did show up however, I scouted along the parade route using Google Street View in order to survey places where I could have a high vantage point to shoot from. I worked with the assumption that the [...]

…I’m absolutely thrilled and waiting to be horrified. Now that he’s got Griffon’s take on Aya (bleh, he hasn’t put up a mirror post on his wordpress), I’m dying to see not what he thinks, but how he says about what he thinks. After all, I find his talking to be very ham-handed, dry, and [...]

It seems my shipment from Amiami regarding Remilia hasn’t arrived yet. Change of plans, change of plans. Nevertheless I was insistent on pairing up the Halloween idea with Remi. It’s my first time carving a pumpkin, actually. This project took me a good couple of hours getting this done. My brother initially wanted a really simple pattern [...]

It’s pleasant, strangely, to shoot in rainy weather, or weather when nobody feels like stepping out of their houses (of course, “feels like” and “should not be” are different things, with the latter usually happening with perhaps, hail or a tornado). Nobody’s outside and it feels like you’ve got all the time in the world [...]
