Getting There

Armour 2

Time to start crackin’ at my pieces for Noise Festival! Here’s one that I’ve sketched and partially painted. There’s a few more I have in my head but have yet to sketch them out, I’ll try to do so this week if the training schedule isn’t too tight. I’ve also finally settled on a new layout for the site, been coding it as much as I could. It should be done within a few weekends.

In other news, my aunt got me the Yuffie Kisaragi Play Arts figure when she went to Japan! Check her out, the details are pretty sweet.

Next up, Lightning Play Arts!

Gotta love the lil' klepto ninja.

Vector WIP

Just practicing some vectoring, don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned the Akemi painting–don’t intend to. I might eventually turn this into a design piece or something…and I am using a reference.

Designs for Army

July 27th, 2008 § 1

So I’ve been in boot camp for almost 2 months now. It’s been a really interesting experience–and I’m pretty sure I can write about this, none of it is confidential information anyway. I mean, everyone knows a soldier will fire a rifle and throw a grenade some time during his service! Haha. I missed Company Best Shot by one shot. Missed my very last shot and it was quite frustrating to say the least. Grenade throwing was fun and very loud. Now I won’t be updating unartifex in a while since I’ll be confined for another weekend again for field camp, which lasts for about six days.

Anyway, I’ve made some designs for our company. I’m not sure if they’ll choose them, but whatever, it should be good for my portfolio. So here are the designs I came up with for the Company Shirt and Safety Posters. I really wanted to work on Ammo Safety, but we did a draw and my section ended up with Drinking & Driving instead. Sucks, but that’s life, can’t always get what you want.

Well then, see ya guys in 2 weeks.

Faces and Figures

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.

Army Life So Far

July 5th, 2008 § 1

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.
