Etsu Volume 5

Filed under: Anime, Graphics, Random — bj0rN @ 8:39

Alright~ Being so damn bored in class. I decided to take a picture of the magazine I got. And also an illustration of T2’s work.

Here’s the illustration. It’s a rough sketch of his work. Good to refer and learn from if you’re learning how to draw. Come to think of it, I’m no where at that level yet. _| ̄|○

Alright. Picked up the scan of Kanon and decided to do some repairs and turn it into a wallpaper since I have people who requested for it. Just did some cleaning, repairing of the images and such. Tried to redo some of the trees and flowers and that’s about it. Enjoy!

KABOOM! Spending for October seems to have increased!!!

If this was what you thought I would get for this month, you’re wrong. Apparently, I went on another spending spree once more, spending even more than the last time. Sadly, I don’t have my camera with me now since my sister took it to China. -.-”

I’ll just name what I got myself though…

Maxfactory 1/7 Jingai Makyo’s Ignis

Kotobukiya 1/8 Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro’s Feena Fam Earthlight

Etsu Volume 5 (featuring nice illustrations from artist such as my favourite, Tony Taka.)

Yotsuba&! Manga Volume 1-5

D.Gray-Man Manga Volume 1-8

Personally, the figurines are just superb. *fap fap fap fap fap* And so were the illustrations in Etsu. Seems to be an occasional release of the magazine since I’ve never seen it in Kinokuniya before. Tony Taka illustrations rocks. I should get his doujins in the near future.

Anyway, I’ll be doing a photoshoot as soon as I get my camera back. Should be taking pictures of Ignis and perhaps Feena. Also will be planning to do a review on a resin kit that Juice is doing, which is Meiya from Muv Luv Alternative. As a nice friend, I’ll advertise his work and hopfully in future, if you guys need someone to do comission work for you, hopfully you can consider him to do it. =)

Now who’s gonna win this year? Seriously, I don’t really care since they are already both winners in my eyes. Suiseiseki surpassing Souseiseki and Fate surpassing Nanoha, of course not forgetting the other challengers that they defeated on their way here. So what is your pick? “Angel Of Desu”, Suiseiseki or “Strike Friendship”, Fate Testorassa?

Top Picks Of Songs For The Fall Season 2006

Filed under: Anime, Music — bj0rN @ 2:12

rocklive1mr3textlessfv6.jpg

I suppose this is the first music post I’m doing. So basically due to a mass release by #nipponsei, I decided to listen to all of them and thought of doing a list of the nice songs. It’s without reference to the OP/ED sequence but some of them makes it nicer, some just don’t fit well, some are just horrible with it but sounds good when you listen to it. And yes, ongoing season’s ED will be added here too but only the new releases.

I’m not really gonna rank the songs in order but usually we all know the 1st song that comes to mind always leaves the deepest impression. But I’ll just list 5 of them for OP and ED. Let’s start off with…

Upcoming Death Note Craze?

Filed under: Anime, Movies, Random — bj0rN @ 23:45

Shortly after the release of the Death Note movie, you get people talking about it every now and now. Things like how it sucked, how it’s diferent from the manga, how the girls were hot, how cool the guys were, how special the movie was, what would you do if you had the Death Note, etc…

So I was out with Juice, Eugenics, Sabeios and L1Me today, supposing to collect some stuffs that weren’t here and such. A short annoucement for Urban Attic then, whoever has the 1st Shana figurine from Dengeki Daioh, please contact the shop if you want to sell it since the owner wants it. Ah well~ I suppose I could try to find it for the shop owner since the last time I searched for it, it took me months, but it paid off.

Anyway, we were walking and we went by Kinokuniya at Bugis (which I can say is the worst out of the 3) and saw this at the showcase outside.

Bored? Go count the number of books and then tell me! =D

This is madness… I fear what will happen in the near future.

Kiddy Grade – Prostration

Filed under: Anime, Graphics — bj0rN @ 0:43

After being on hiatus for so long from graphic designs, I made a comeback and did this wallpaper of Lumiere

prostration.jpg

Saying hi to all my supporters and also my friends here. It’s been awhile isn’t it? I was terribly busy with work and after so many months, I’m finally back once again. This time, it features Lumiere from Kiddy Grade. It’s titled Prostration and according to the dictionary, it means, extreme physical weakness or exhaustion. Go figure! =X

It’s just merely as extention of the scan, repairs and cleaning to the image though.

Would like to dedicate this wallpaper to GodFather as an early welcome present for his arrival to Singapore.

Anyway, since this I posted a widescreen resolution, I’ll just provide a 1280×1024 one for those who wants it. =)

Hmm I need a drawing tablet… Wonder how much it’ll cost me…

Death Note Live Action Movie Review

Filed under: Movies — bj0rN @ 14:16

Alright. I went off to catch Death Note at the Golden Village cinemas in Tampines Mall yesterday, having just minimal expectation and hoping that it’ll at least be an average looking movie. The movie was quite good however there are some good and bad parts of course. But before that, I just want to say, I’m pissed with certain people in the cinema, acting rowdy and all and also a bunch of “know it all just because I’ve read the manga” bastards trying to spoil the story for people who are new and not know what it is about. Can’t they just shut up and watch the damn show first and do the discussion later? Then again, I have people who had no spoilers, leaving the cinema clueless. Perhaps it’s a show that requires you to analyse? Ah well~ To those who haven’t watched it, let’s hope there’s no such spoilers for you when you’re watching it.

L looked like some kid that loves to eat sweets and picking up stuffs with only 2 fingers. He also had the impression of a immature loser and kept biting his nails like a kid whenever he lost. What happened to the genius that I knew from the manga with the superb deduction skills?

Ryuk also was great for the CG design and all. But however, he was made into an appletart. Seriously, I know we need some humour for the show, but not till that extent. Reminds me of the Mac-Death God I posted up when I did the review on the anime.

Quite a few changes in the show from the manga. Like how Light killed his girlfriend, making him an even more complex character. Expression his hate for the criminals getting away from the law, how he want to be the new “God” of the world to determine who is deem fit to live and wanting to achieve his objectives without fail were good too.

Oh yeah, Misa and Light’s sister were cute in the show too. Wonder why Misa mentioned Ai Otsuka in her TV show anyway? I bet Tsubaki would say something like, “Aya Hirano is better!!!”. Oh yeah, Tsubaki, pray hard there’s no spoilers during the time you catch the show too.

Another thing, Raito’s room is so cool and nice. Wish my room was organised and neat like his. T_T

My speculations after the movie? I’ll see a bunch or retards carrying black notebooks and declaring that it is a Death Note and starts scribbling stuffs. And just before the craze dies out, the 2nd movie will be released and those retards will convince more people to join them in their amazing feat and the whole “trend” of carrying black notebooks will once again be revived.
