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

Almost every year, I take an existing figure, and turn it into a Christmas themed version using Photoshop. This year is now different. Oh, and I got a new toaster oven!

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.

What is a unique trait? A trait is a feature about a character that identifies them for who they are. Uniqueness helps them identify themselves among a sea of other characters. It doesn't take much to be unique. Today I'll explore the essence of unique traits.

Black Angel – Black Rock Shooter Photoshop

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.

A lot has happened since the beginning of the year until now. Much of which has been backlogged due to a busy schedule. It’s not just games, but life in general, and the fact that I’ve been trying to stay busy. This week is no different. Another major project has landed on my lap (that I can’t reveal), which I’m more than happy to do. But I can’t neglect my readers. You guys are very important to me, and it means a lot when you guys come check out my small little world, and comment. So here’s a bunch of photos that I’ve taken since arriving back from Singapore, many of which are things that I want to talk about in the future on this blog, but have been backlogged.

Christmas Miku! Happy Holidays from Radiantdreamer!

by radiantdreamer December 23, 2009 in Anime Figures, How To Draw Anime & Photoshop 35 comments tags: christmas, goodsmile, hatsune, miku, nendoroid, photoshop, radiantdreamer, xmas
Happy Holidays! It’s the holiday season! With Christmas fast approaching, I thought I’d celebrate by creating a photoshop of a Xmas Miku! I was going to do this photoshop on Friday, but guessing from how busy Christmas Day will be, I figure I’d do an early photoshop post this week instead. This actually took a bit longer than I had expected, but it turned out pretty good. Click on the image for a 1280 wallpaper! I’m not 100% sold on the hat. I guess part of it is because it still looks so much more detailed and sharp compared to the simple design of a nendoroid. Plus the lighting is wrong to begin with. I could have painted my own hat, I guess. [pro-player]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCr0ZUspsqg[/pro-player] Though it was a rough start, it’s been a great year for RadiantDreamer! I hope the trend continues next year. Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

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!

Miku Paint!! Nendoroids Are Beneficial to Learning!

by radiantdreamer July 19, 2008 in Anime & Video Games, How To Draw Anime & Photoshop 14 comments tags: anime, figure, hatsune, max factory, miku, nendoroid, painting, photo-realistic, photoshop, vocaloid
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.

Miku Hatsune Vocaloid Nendoroid

What a super cutie! I had mistakenly on a whim cancelled my pre-order for her a while back, and didn’t realize it until it was too late. Fortunately, shino was able to hook me up and I was lucky enough to own her. I must say, she’s way cuter than I had expected, with very clean lines and detail. Unfortunately, my Miku tends to fall apart very easily. Especially the hair pieces. But overall, very well done. The fact that she can stand without needing a stand is definitely a bonus.
