Didn’t have much free time the last 2 weeks. Lots of exciting stuff going on in the army, too bad I can’t blog about it.

Can’t tell you about it! Haha, I’ll get in trouble since there’s a strict “no blogging” policy or some crap like that. I will say that it’s been both a fun and exhausting experience though. My bunk mates are friendly — a few of them are from overseas too — and so are the commanders and officers.

Anyway, I managed to squeeze in a portrait of Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li from the upcoming Street Fighter movie. As usual, I used a reference and still only noticed the glaring mistakes after I finished, check it out in the Bygones page.

And before I forget, here’s a quick sketch of Akemi.

Alrighty, first things first, just a heads up, I’ll be gone for the next couple of weeks for boot camp. Finally, I say. Took the government long enough.

Now on to the update!

The past week has been a rather exciting one, for me and for my buddies. FinalFantasyXIII.net has finally launched! And we’ve already updated 3 times with user created content and a mid ‘08 — mid ‘08? Man, time really flies fast these days — news wrap up on everything FFXIII related, which isn’t much, but at least it’s something! Hahaha.

And right after that successful launch was GamingUnion.net’s turn to shine, I designed the logo and skinned the forum, it’s not much, but at least it’s clean and shiny. The main site is still under progress, it’s a long term project says Darryl. The community’s steadily gaining new members and we’re having fun discussing about our favourite hobby and livelihood: video games, with none of that fanboy hostility crap.

Next up is a little surprise with Forever-Fantasy.net, I’m not saying what it is, but I’ll have it done before I ship off. So keep your eyes on the site.

As for the collaboration project with Graham and The Duo Group, that is finished! Well, my side of things are finished, so that’s a great relief. I’m really excited to see the final product because from what I’ve seen, it’s looking pretty sweet.

As for portfolio updates, I’ve added a design piece to the portfolio, it’s the GU Logo as seen above. I’ve also added a fanart of Soul Eater to the bygones.

Just some quick sketches! I drew a chibi! AWWWW. Hahah.

Yeah…see earlier post.

Hm, to Photoshop…or to colour with markers? Guess I’ll go with the markers, I need the practice and I don’t want them drying out!

I felt an overwhelming sense of relief after drawing this…for some reason or another.

Anyway, 2 weeks left before I get shipped off! I only have to finish up that Metal Gear collab project with The Duo Group, checking through the pages for FinalFantasyXIII.net- -which reminds me, I still gotta do the CSS for the gallery pages- -coding up a layout for my buddy’s blog and…um…preordering Metal Gear Solid 4 from Play-Asia! Hm, wait a minute, that shouldn’t be on my top-priorities list.

I’m in love with Soul Eater! It’s far more amusing than Naruto, at least.

Spetznaz Spartan Jump? Some outlandish Call of Duty 4 meets 300 humour between myself and my brother.

Yeah…just needed to do something even if did turn out like crap, haha.

Meh, I can’t draw anything decent for myself lately. Just been slogging away at a collab project that I’m trying to finish before I get shipped off.

FinalFantasyXIII.net is coming along nicely though! I can’t wait until we launch, I’m so excited. Haha. Oh, and FF-Illumina.net interviewed Kyle, Lauren and I concerning the new site! It was a lot of fun, too bad quite a few of our messing around didn’t make the cut!

Also, I somehow lost my database and had to restore it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a very up-to-date back up file. The only significant posts that are missing are the two video recordings- -which I might as well post here.
