Hi and 2 new 4Komas!

To some new followers, Welcome! I hope you enjoy the posts that I place in here!

And here are 2 new 4Komas that I haven't had time to place up in here yet. I really haven't been able to do some recent photoshoots lately, too much going on at the moment...

Finally a new 4koma!

Ok, so for this week I am able to do a lot more photo shoots at home more so than normally so I can do a lot of catch up in some areas. Here's finally a new 4koma that I had on the backburner since I obtained the revoltech Batman figure. Enjoy!

And on a side note, and from my previous post, no I still didn't get through watching Cloverfield without turning away or looking blurry (not looking through my glasses and thus seeing the screen as a blur). Got me thinking: Revoltech is covering most sci-fi monsters both Japanese and American (surprisingly not Godzilla yet but that's besides the point); I wonder if they'd ever get to making a Cloverfield Monster Revoltech. That, then would where I would definitely be able to face it because I'd think it'd be cool to have. I'm all over that if that were to happen! ....I'm pretty weird, huh?...

Finally!...

I've finally done my first post on figure.fm and made myself known through the community! I'll still be posting here as normally as I do. It looks like the 4komas that I've shown are starting to be a hit, seeing a lot of people commenting about them already.

I am not sure how much more traffic I will be getting here after making my debut but we'll see how it comes along.

And if you are coming in here from figure.fm, welcome and I hope you enjoy my blog. I have the other 4komas I mentioned already in here so if you would want to see what I will be posting up next.

No Title

Not much to really update on but I had the urge to post up just a lil bit just so my weekend didn't seem wasted...again...(It was a hot weekend anyways. No big urge to be outside) Well I do have some things I'd like to talk about, maybe in a post later on today. I'll see if I will get to that.

Mainly, here's a new 4koma I've done just today. I got ideas for more, just gotta find the time. 

Lets start off with some recent things I've just received. First off, I ordered off Hobby Search 2 zippo lighters featuring lovely Mio from K-on! The design is etched into the casing so I don't have to worry about it wearing off after carrying it around in my pocket.Now I don't smoke myself (Thank God!!!) but I always go along the lines that you never know when having a lighter around will be handy.

Next, I picked this one up while over at Best Buy today. Was expecting to be in the stores tomorrow, which is the case most of the time. But since it was already there, I went ahead and picked it up.

So I'll be spending time playing this whenever I have the chance.

And for this weeks 4koma, featuring Shana, Tsukasa and newly acquired Mio (I was able to get a 2nd Mio so I was so happy when I took one out)
Ok that's it. Now to watch the new episode of Lost! Till next time!

Otacool/4-Koma

As you may know, I get most of my news from dannychoo.com. So the latest stuff showing up is this Otacool craze. I knew it was a collaboration of anime collectors collections and I just happened to come across it while at Little Tokyo this past weekend. I was surprised now well put it was and how various people proudly display their passion for the art! If I ever get my room fixed up nicely, I would gladly submit a picture of my room for others to see. It looks like this wouldn't be the last of the Otacool booklets as there is already works for the second booklet.

And for this weeks 4Koma. I took these pictures a while ago and just recently placed them in comic panel format.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Although I am not one that normally celebrates the holiday, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to make a picture with Aisaka Taiga from Toradora. So to all of you that do celebrate: have a Happy Chinese New year! Welcoming in the year of the TAIGA (Tiger) !!!!


And for this week's 4koma, part 2 of last weeks:


I seem to be delayed in my postings. Either because I have other things on my mind or there's not much to discuss or a bit of both. I'll try and keep up with some regular postings rather than once a week ones....

4koma comics +random pics

Here are some random figure pictures I've done, ranging from just yesterday to about 1 year ago. There hasn't been much that I could discuss lately (I could talk about the new figmas to come that were revealed this past Sunday from the GSC and Max Factory show in Japan, but I'll save that for another post) so I decided to share some of these pics I took...

Shana w/ oversized AlastorFigma Cute (from the Queens blade PSP game)

These two Mio pics were fun to do!


And for this week's 4koma. That's kinda what these are being called, so I'll start referring to them as such.
A bit of a back story about this: Konata is one that is rather familiar with Japanese Ero games, and Kagami is somewhat aware of her...knowledge of such games.This one's actually a 2-part 4koma so the second will appear next week.

Have a nice day!

Weekly Comic + extra pic.

So here's the one I promised which pretty much summarizes what I believe most k-on and figma fans are going through these past few weeks. The times in the comic are a bit exaggerated but, hey, that's how it feels: you miss it and you'll be out of luck! I still can't believe how ridiculous the preorders go....I felt pretty sad for the two while I was creating this. I think to counter it, I'll make another one up later with a happier ending ^^.

Next was just another picture with an idea I've had for a while. Inspiration came from "Tropic Thunder". I shouldn't need to explain more:

I'M A LEAD FARMER MOTHER F---ER!!!!!!

Sad to say, one of Mikuru's ponytails snapped while setting this one up. I used just a tiny drop of superglue but the worst case came up and the glue seeped into the joint. So now that ponytail's permanent. :(

Weekly update.

There really hasn't been much to update for this week. As for the K-ON! figma situation, my results on that was rather satisfactory. I'll leave it at that. As for the comic I mentioned in the previous post: well, a bit of business and laziness kicked in and I wasn't able to set up the shoot. So I'll go with one of my already planned one for this week and I'll be sure to set up the mentioned one up for next week.Looks like one of the Nendoroid Drossels in the second panel is legless!! It was actually that the left leg was up, as if she's walking, and the right leg was on the ground, just covered up in the view by one of her...."ears". I only noticed after starting to put up the captions ><.

K, see ya next post!

Weekly Comic #5

Ok, I felt this weekend was going pretty well and it could've ended on a veery good note once I saw a specific email that came in, but it wasn't what I expected and I was like WDH!. I really don't want to talk about it anymore so I'll continue with this week's comic.This one was fun to do. I had to pull in one of my other Yoko figures for the feel in the 2nd panel. I still suck at sound effect text though lol.

Weekly Comic No. 4

K, one more post before I head off to bed. I think I am able to come up with weekly scenarios for 4 panel comics, so I'd like to start putting up my comics weekly. Here's no. 4:

4 Panel Comic Strips

Ah, yesterday I had a good run of ideas for 4 panel comic strips. It took me a lot longer than I thought it would, but I feel it's worth the work ^^. And today I was messing around trying to find a suitable program to lay these out; I think the outcome is very satisfactory! (it's probably not entirely the best out there, but with what I got it's still looks pretty good!). I hope to come up with more ideas for comics which I can dish out that are somewhat unique than other ones that are out there already... In short-I had fun doing this and hope to create more further down the line!

Now w/o further delay, here are 3 comics that are products of my sweat, tears (well not really), and me being up late at night during a weekday when I really shouldn't be... (click on the images to see the strips. it looks too small to try and read them from this page).

#1: Fun Fact Notes: This one's a bit on the Ecchi side. It was originally was just going to be Airi and Nanael, but Alleyne just got shipped in and decided to add her in the strip. ^^

#2: Fun Fact Notes: What's a good sound effect for whiffing with a bat?

#3: Fun Fact Notes: I was able to finally use one of the Star Wars mini-helmets I got from Comicon '08 in a photoshoot! (yay!). I like the sound effect text I added in the 3rd and 4th panels.





















edit: looking @ the pictures once I posted them up, their sizes are a bit smaller than I thought. Well this is a trial and error/lesson learned type of thing so.... when I get around to it I'll think about getting these ones in the expected size. I haven't decided yet..
