A sketch piece I spontaneously did, while the blog was still in progress. I'd love to hear what you think of it!

A Giveway Before a Goodbye. The End of RadiantDreamer.

by radiantdreamer August 06, 2010 in Things I Find Interesting 41 comments tags: animeshumi, bakemonogatari, contest, giveaway, migration, nendoroid puchi, radiantdreamer
EDIT: MIGRATION COMPLETE. POST OUTDATED. This blog is dead. Those that have been following me for such a long time will have noticed that it’s gone from a happy cheery themed wordpress blog into a dark and somewhat emo looking non-blog.

Dental Time! Another Megapost!

Drill drill drill! Your teeth are gonna get pwned! Well, my busy schedule has slowed down a tad bit, but not enough to make me breathe a sigh of relief yet.  There are some loose ends to tie up for certain, but it looks like I might be able to give myself a breather soon. So in the meantime, I thought I’d talk about some things that have been happening in my life.

Looks like I’m overloaded!

I never thought that this would ever happen to me, but it looks like I’m overloaded. I suppose everyone in their blogging life will do this eventually. My new Super Secret Project is underway, but I think I’m behind in it. If you’ve been paying attention to some specific game forums, you may already have an idea what this project is. Put 2 and 2 together! 😀 Mice Heist is pretty much done now, but we’ve been looking for a marketing team to help us push our game. It’s gonna cost us quite a bit of money (I’m talking two year’s worth of anime figures based on my current buying rate)

Random Photos 2

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.

Commission Art Gone Wrong

by radiantdreamer March 26, 2010 in How To Draw Anime & Photoshop, Things I Find Interesting 55 comments tags: blazblue, busy, commission, email, final fantasy, iphone, resonance of fate, rss, valkyria chronicles, youtube
A lot of stuff has happened in these past couple of weeks that I’d like to post about, but really lack the time. I fixed a couple of broken figures, cleaned figures, got new figures, I actually attended an Olympic event, and did some commission work. In addition, I’ve been working like a fiend on my new iPhone game. I’ve also been playing a lot of Resonance of Fate (yes, it won me over Final Fantasy XIII) and thoroughly enjoying it. It reminds me a lot of Valkyria Chronicles for some reason, which was also epic.

Changing Gears

by radiantdreamer February 23, 2010 in Things I Find Interesting 31 comments tags: anime, changing gears, photoshop, radiantdreamer, sketching
Sorry for the complete lack of updates last week, as well as my lack of responding to all your comments. I’ve been quite busy with work lately, and I’ve also been laying it pretty hard with gaming (I finished three games this February!) I’m going to switch gears for a little bit, and change my priorities. With work coming on heavy, and me wanting to fit in more gaming, I’ll have less time to blog. [Edit: Added for clarification] What does this mean? This does NOT mean I’m stopping blogging. I’ll still be doing posts. Posting frequency will change – It may not be on time anymore. No figure reviews – it takes a lot of time to snap photos, and even more time to process and type stuff for them. More art – basically, more sketching, sometimes a full image. Photoshopping – may become more frequent, or less frequent. Dunno! Special features dropped – articles like Anime Pride, Current Collection, etc. will be put on hold for a while. Postings will consist of single image/wallpaper, and a youtube video. That’s about it for content. Comment replies will happen in bulk rather than instant. Comments to friends blog posts will […]

Taiga, Olympics, Valentines, CNY, Oh My!

by radiantdreamer February 12, 2010 in Anime Figures, How To Draw Anime & Photoshop, Things I Find Interesting 55 comments tags: chinese new year, olympics, Taiga, torch relay, valentine's day, Vancouver, year of the tiger
Pretty big megapost today! It’s time for Chinese New Year (with some Taiga!), Valentine’s Day, and the Vancouver 2010 Olympics! I thought about doing separate posts for each, but they’re all pretty important! Let’s get started!

Random Photos

by radiantdreamer February 05, 2010 in Anime Figures, Things I Find Interesting 59 comments tags: apples, ignis, konata, miku, nendoroid, random, rin, saber, shadowlady, shana, yui
So I’ve got a nice commissioned job that I have been working on this week. No time to do any other photoshop work, or talk about anything else. But instead of leaving you hanging, here are some random photos I took over the past little while. Enjoy!

My Current Collection – January

by radiantdreamer January 29, 2010 in Anime Figures, Things I Find Interesting 62 comments tags: aerith, ah my goddess, alice, Alter, Alvis Hamilton, aria, asuka, ballistics, belldandy, black lagoon, black rock shooter, burst angel, cloud, evangelion, fate stay night, final fantasy, gemini sunrise, good smile company, gothic devil girl, hardy daytona, human mage, K-ON!, Kannagi, Kotobukiya, Last Exile, lineage II, masamune shirow, miku hatsune, motorcycle, my collection, needa, nendoroid, pia carrot, queen's gate, raquel gothic, revy, rize, saber, sakura, shall, shana, shuraki, tifa, tony aka, vocaloid, yuffie, yuna
I’m sure most of you have come up against the problem of owning too many anime figures, that you’re running out of room. My own personal solution is to rotate them, and keep some of them in storage. This keeps things fresh. You may recall a previous post on my collection, so let’s see how things have changed since then.

Moar Singapore! (part 3 of 4)

Didn’t feel like doing a photoshop image this week, and wanted to add a little more variety to my blog, so here’s another post on Singapore! It’s been over a month since the trip, so some of the memories have already started to fade a bit. It’s still all good to remember some of these great experiences though!

My Gaming Habits of ’09

by radiantdreamer January 06, 2010 in Anime & Video Games, Things I Find Interesting 24 comments tags: backlog, gaming, new year, resolution, video games
1.5 years ago I started to track my gaming trends, how my life’s events affect it, and vice versa. I wanted to do this so I could literally gauge my habits of gaming by the hour. The results are quite an interesting reality check!

100th Post! (and 108,600 hits)

by radiantdreamer December 16, 2009 in Things I Find Interesting 41 comments tags: 100000 hits, 100th post, blog, elwing, figures, hentai otaku, plastics, radiantdreamer
Wow, I never would have thought that I would blog this much. 100 posts is a lot! (and 338 comments since the last time I posted about the 1000 comments!) To celebrate, I thought I'd do something a little special, and write about how this came to be, the best of my blog posts, and what I'm going to do going forward.

Singapore: Meeting with Comrades

by radiantdreamer December 01, 2009 in Things I Find Interesting 20 comments tags: anime, chicken rice, china square, chinatown, city hall, clarke quay, comrades, dhoby ghaut, ederuferuto, kareshi kanojy no mise, kinokuniya, liang court, manga, merchandise, nendoroids, orchard central, orchard road, outing, photography, pink dolphin, plaza singapura, scorchnroses, singapore, singtel, starbucks, sunshine plaza, tour, tourist, user66b, yuki-to, zh3us
This weekend, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet up with some Singaporean comrades, Zh3us,Yuki-To, Ederuferuto, User66b, and ScorchNRoses, who showed me around the city’s main Anime hotspots. While I’ve been to Singapore many times before this, I never knew where all the good anime stores were. I was limited to the major shopping malls, which were typically over-priced, and incredibly limited in selection. With my new friends, I got to see the more “underside” of where all the best stuff could be found.

Beyond AFA – What Singapore is like

by radiantdreamer November 27, 2009 in Things I Find Interesting 41 comments tags: beach, changi, changi vilage, chinese donut, food, food court, kaya toast, kopi, kopitiam, lg chocolate, lifestyle, mall, noodles, pancake, peanut, qoo, shopping, singapore, tayaki, watermelons
So I’m posting this mostly for the benefit of the people who did not get a chance to see Singapore during their short trip to and from AFA, for those who want to know more about Singapore, and also for those Singaporeans who are expats, and miss home. (Yes, you chun!) Considering that Singapore is the next most proliferant anime hub this side of the english internetz community, it makes sense to know more about Singapore’s people, and its infrastructure and land. I’m not going to delve into the history or its culture. You can find all that on wikipedia or something. I’m more interested in covering the more important aspects… the food, and the shopping!

Anime Festival Asia ’09- My Turn to AFA

by radiantdreamer November 25, 2009 in Anime & Video Games, Things I Find Interesting 45 comments tags: afa 09, alodia, anime festival asia, anisong, bandung, black rock shooter, bleach, convention, cosplay, danny choo, domo-kun, eneloop, evangelion, figma, goodsmile, Gundam, gwendolyn, K-ON!, kingdom hearts, kodomut, macross frontier, miku, mirai, moe moe kyun, naruto, oblivion island, production i.g., rozen maiden, Sgt. Keroro, shwarz, singapore, space channel 5, suntec, trigun, ulala, valkyria chronicles, wacom, xenoglossia
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.
