If you didn't know this by now, today (August 31st) is Miku Hatsune's 4th birthday. I actually forgot about it until just yesterday, and incidentally didn't know what to draw for my youtube video this week. Perfect subject, and perfect time too! :D

Late, AND nothing to post about this week! Why? I was internet-less for a few days, and when I got back, was flooded with comments and emails from everywhere. Spent time responding, but then didn't have time to write a post. So, here's two youtube videos of a couple of sketches I made, both of them of Miku. Feel free to comment, critique, etc.

Kodomut had some problems trying to get his shot looking right, and eventually gave up. I asked him for the image so I could get a crack at it with some photoshop magic.

Anime Festival Asia ’09- My Turn to AFA

My very first anime convention, and it was the incredibly awesome Anime Festival Asia in Singapore. While many people chose to focus on the merchandise, I decided to focus on the participants of the con – the cosplayers. SIXTY crazy photos ahead! With Singapore being the next most proliferate anime hub, the cosplayers have quite the reputation to hold up, and it doesn’t disappoint.

Miku Paint!! Nendoroids Are Beneficial to Learning!

I’ve been looking back at my own artwork again, and since I haven’t painted in a long time, decided to try some exercises. I want to move more towards realism, in whatever way I can, and try to create things that are unique in both anime and realism – a hybrid as you may have heard me talk about it before. One thing that I did want to improve upon was understanding light and shadow more. So I did a couple of exercise studies and painted a few things that I saw on my desk. It wasn’t very fun until I decided to give Miku a try.
