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...

Still Here

K, so I was on a bit of hiatus again. Coincidental that I took a bit of a break last year due to my computer crapping out on me on the week of AX. This time though, my comp was still working, I was just on the lazy side of not doing anything. So here I go continuing posting here. (oh, and I uber failed at what I said I'd do w/ part 2 and 3 of my AX posting...)

An addition to not just posting that I'm still here, I'll post some figure pictures I just did today to post up on figure.fm. Figma Blackrock Shooter came in and I made a pose with her on the Freeing American Bike. Looked sooo good that I am keeping that one as is. I will have other BRS Figmas coming in so I can play around with those.

This is my #2 favorite:

 

This one is my #1 Favorite:

 

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.

Profile Name Change

Since I think I'll start finding myself creating posts up in figure.fm fairly soon, I decided to change my profile name the same as the name I have up there. I think it'll keep things more organized imo. So from now, I'll be using the profile name "Maikeru to".

My profile name is actually a parody of the manga "Yotsuba to"("Yotsuba &" in US). In this sense you can guess what my first name is.

Back from busy work

Ok, work has been very busy lately that I haven't been able to properly add posts here. Many long hours both during the week and the weekends. Fortunately, now there's some downtime that I can finally add posts again....but not right now. 'tis 12 in the morning and I found some short time to let you know that I am still here. A lot to post but little time so I will save it for tomorrow.

But to add at least one thing in this post, I was able to make a photo shoot of one of my latest figures:This is a quick pic that I did and love of the figure. I've been waiting for this one to come out and it's finally here! I'll post more pictures in a future post as well as catch up with what's been going on in this past month hiatus.

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....

ほんと に ごめなさい

yerrrrgh..... finally back online. that one night between AX day 3 and 4, my computer crapped out on me again...fearing it might get worse if i turn it on, i played it safe until I was confident of what I could do. Honestly, I could have had it up earlier in the year but so much happened in that span of 5 or so months. Mainly, if you were aware of the wildfires that happened in California this past September (Station Fire), I was one of the unfortunate ones that had to evac... my room became a mess and it was hard for me to gain access to my computer.
Well, enough of that, the main point is that I am back up and running so I will try and get back on track with this blog. I have quite a bit to discuss so expect numerous entry's soon. And with that, I'll leave you with my lineup of my nendoroid figures!! :

The ones that are missing in the lineup are my Deathnote nendoroids (which I have at work) and Drossel, which came in a day after this shot was taken.

AX within the week!

Well, it's finally here for this year. I'll have 2 1/2 days of work then the rest of the week will be all the Anime Expo '09. It's already here yet I still feel I got a lot to do to prep up for it: make a list of things to get, look at the schedule to see what panels I would like to attend, sort out my cosplaying scavenger hunt list (updated below), look up if there are any exclusives...

All in all I think this one will be another fun year about the one thing that I love.

Up and Running once again!

I have finally gotten my computer back up for the time being! Yay! and it only took me 3 months to do so... being busy with other stuff and often motivation most of that time played a role in that.

So anyways, there's quite a bit to catch up on here. i'll eventually get to that. I just gotta sort things out once again then i'll try and get back on track here. bare with me!

Down but not out!!

Ok, my computer crapped out on me pretty recently, and I am doing this off my cousin's computer while they are away on vacation and I'm left to tend to their house and dogs. So, there may not be a lot of posts for a bit until I'm able to fix up the problems on my own computer. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long until I do. I still gotta keep up with what's going on everywhere...

Sayonara, futari-tomo!

To my two friends, Jenneli and Michael, who are moving to the other side of the Pacific: Please take care while you are over there and don't forget about us over here! I will miss all of our anime talk during our various work breaks... well, we still have those two hours or so where we share hours and we can waste those minutes.

Best of luck to you two!!

The latest with me

A post not necessarily focused on one thing, just what's been going on with me lately. Let's start!

First off, one pic of Gwendolyn:
I figured I'd try to do an outside shot with her in the most foresty looking area around my house. Unfortunately the best is my front lawn with some small bushes in the background. I'd like to try more outdoor figure shots if I can find good areas. Not much around my house.

Next up:

A model of the VF-25F Valkyrie from Macross Frontier! I thought this was going to be so hard to find. I'm going to take my time with this one. I'm actually thinking of doing a sequence photo shoot of it being built by the figmas. That would be cool!! lol

This just came in today. If you don't know what it is, what's wrong with you!!! j/k. So if my post are delayed from now on, this could be a good reason. Soo beautiful!!!!

This is my latest figma shot featuring my Haruhi and Lucky Star manga with figma Haruhi and Konata relaxing reading. I think this was a good idea, it just took me forever to set up just b/c I was searching for all the manga volumes of Haruhi within my messy room...

And finally, my latest 2 additions:

Rena Sayers from the My Otome series and Haruhi Suzumiya. I already did a short photo shoot on the two and I'll probably combine pics of both in an upcoming single post.

OK, that's it for me now. tis late and I still got work in the morning.

gotta wait...

It seems I need to "build my rep" up at DC. I won't be allowed to upload my own posts there until some conditions are met. I understand the reason for the measures and I fully respect it. So I'll put up my blogsite in my profile and maybe some passerby's will come in :)

1st attempt @ a blog: Part 2

Okay, lets further explain a little bit more of my background so you know the origins of this blog. More than 10 years of being exposed to anime and manga. I got my first true exposure to anime when I came across Evangelion. Since then it still remains one of my most favorite series of the many I have seen since then. "Code Pattern: Blue", this blog title, is the eva reference to when an "angel" appears to threaten the world (most of us know the story so it's pointless to go on and on...). PurpleandGreen correspond to the basic colors of Eva unit 01, my favorite unit of all of them. The no. 54 is just that....a number...

The mixture of finding about dannychoo.com and the creations of the revoltech and figma figureline has inspired multiple ideas to pop up. and rather than keep my ideas to myself, i'd figure it's time that I share the great and unique (i hope) ideas. I'll eventually get to posting up on dannychoo.com; I just think that it may be a good idea to build this up a bit (besides I got a good idea in the works atm involving the petit nendoroid figures and a water bottle. I think it would wow a couple of people browsing and that would be a good intro i'd think anyways.

Ok, I think i'm rambling on... Rather than starting with older images that I have had. I'd like to start with this one:

It's Rei!! This one's the latest of my collection and I thought it look very nice, I thought I had to start with this one. Looked too good to pass up.(This is also a test run in posting images...)

Edit: Looks like things are in order now. I will try to shorten my posts now (a lot)
