Veritech Fighter in Guardian Mode

Back when I was little I used to love going to the library. That’s right. The library.My firt experience with Macross came not from the anime, but from the series of books from the Robotech Saga. That was when my love of the Macross universe began. Ever since the very chapter where Zor sent the SDF to Earth, all the way to the battle at Reflex Point and the retreat of the Invid, the books captured my imagination from prologue to epilogue.

This time I tried to draw Kagami and Tsukasa. I know… they don’t look like the Kagami and Tsukasa we all know and love, so please excuse my amateurness. How is it?

Shana’s got a new friend now.

I bought myself a tablet today. Its a Wacom Bamboo tablet. I always wanted to draw stuff on to a screen but no matter how sensitive, a mouse just does not cut it. It simply doesn’t beat the sensation of using a pen that frees your head into concentrating on drawing instead of actually trying to get the mouse to move in the right direction.

Anyway, after a little test, I decided to to see if the tablet could get my l33t drawing (I wish) skillz from the paper to the digital world. So this is the first complete picture I have drawn with a digitising tablet. I call it “Confession”.

How is it? Is it fappable?

Man I hate this map.

Being far down in one corner close to the end of the world, it’s hard to get anywhere (read Japan) easily and coupled with the enormous distances we have to travel to reach the shrines of anime and manga in Asia and America, you could say that we’re pretty far away from the fun. Or are we? Luckily, a group of entrepreneurs over here decided to set up an entertainment expo down in Christchurch. The first year it came last year, like many first-time expos, there wasn’t much to see (read Nothing) and we browsed through everything (read Failcakes) in the morning and still had time to celebrate a friend’s birthday party which was awesome (starting with an O) in comparison. More photos after the jump.

I’m suffering from writer’s strike now, so I’ll post a nice big poster for you guys to ogle over. If there is anything to ogle over that is…

I’ve always been a fan of good music, and good music usually means alternative music to me. Most of the time, pop music is really cool and okay to listen to, but it gets dry and sickening after a while and prompts me to go around searching for other better and more creative forms of music. I didn’t have to go far however, back in 2005 I discovered a techno band from Sapporo that created some wonderful music, and they associated themselves with cute-sounding voices and anime, which made them all the more appealing to me. This band, is… well you guess it. IOSYS.

The Japanese people have talent for making people go WTF. I know I’m late but this seriously boggled my mind for sometime, but I finally got it. Maybe CLANNAD bread was made because one of the main characters in CLANNAD sells bread! But why in a can? Is it easier to label this way?

I’ve been surrounded by Touhou fans who jump in once in a while talking about Touhou stuff or showing me some Touhou pictures and doujin and decided maybe I should join the fun. So, I obtained a copy of Imperishable night from my intelligence network and tried it out. It was quite a pretty game. A lot of digital artwork and effects really caught my eye. The first things I noticed were that it was full of girls drawn with a style you usually see in childrens’ books. Also, the game doesn’t use the mouse. The only keys available are the arrow keys and Z and X.
