I’ve been putting this off for months, but have finally gotten some time to do a proper photoshoot (34 pix!), review, photoshop image, youtube video, and wallpaper for this well deserved resin statue from e2046. I didn’t want to do a half-decent job because this figure deserves more, and so does e2046. This is probably the biggest post I’ve ever done. Here is an account of my experiences in dealing with e2046’s customer service, as well as an in-depth photoshoot, and photoshop pic after the jump.

Noel Vermillion – Blazblue Fan Art

This isn't the first time I've done fan-art. But this is the first time I've tried to make fan-art look like official art. While it's not quite to par with official art, I'd say I come fairly close. More pix and video after the jump!

Aya Hirano Photoshop Speedpaint Time Lapse

I seem to be on some kind of painting frenzy for the past week. I’ve been having a lot of fun making time lapse videos of my own work. It’s very interesting to see your own work kind of “appear” out of nothing in 10 minutes! 😛

Loligoth Girl Speed Painted Time Lapse

My latest work. I’m most happy with this one. Have you ever wondered how they paint images in eroge or box art? I might be able to provide you with some insight. For the first time, I’ve documented my progress in video format and uploaded it to youtube. More after the jump!

Melody – Radiant Dreamer’s Mascot!

Another painting with photoshop diary! I haven’t painted anything anime in quite a while, and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do, but have been putting off for some time now. Getting back into it was difficult, and I gave up on a piece mid-way because it just was not what I wanted. Check out how this one was made after the jump!

Happy Holidays from Radiant Dreamer!

Happy holidays everyone! It’s the first day of my holidays, and fortunately all my shopping is done. It’s been snowing a bit here, and apparently, record temperatures, but nowhere near as bad as say, Halifax or something, where the temperatures fall below -40c. Now THAT’S crazy cold! This festive season is when most of my friends have gone back home to visit their families. This of course, makes a boring holiday season for me. But what better time than to put some effort into improving my art, and playing Valkyria Chronicles! I’m fortunate that most of my family is local, so I don’t have to travel long distances to celebrate Christmas with them. In case you’re wondering, no I didn’t get a special variant Loligoth Asuka figure. I am a photoshop artist after all. More on that after the jump!

Nendoroid Gamers!

I’ve had this ambitious idea in my mind for at least two months now (maybe even three). The original idea was to have them hold Playstation 3 controllers, since Konata is all about the Playstation. But well… I couldn’t get their hands to get close enough. Besides, Wii is way more of a party system anyway. More on how this images was accomplished after the jump!
