Doujin Update plus bonus stuff~

Noooooo!!!!
What in the world happened to warungpakseman.com's server? Now, apart from here n minitokyo.net, people will never be able to see my artwork. Darn! Dareka~! Somebody, fix it!!!
But hey, life must go on. So here's the update this week. Though there's only 2 artwork, they are of the completed type aka "i did have some spare time to sketch, clean n ink it plus do a bit more editing and cleaning up in the computer before posting it". The theme is nekomimi. One was inspired by the recent Valentino Rossi's day (Valentine's day to the other's who DO celebrate it. i don't... can't... darn again...), and the other is just another test of a different pose.
And here they are~~~ *clap3...




And since i had a grrreat week, here's some bonus stuff for all of you~ Wallies by your's truly~~~

Wallie of the two nekomimis from the above images

Char from T2's artwork, "Reflectia" is the tite of the OP in True Tears. Didn't find any True Tears scans on the net yet.

Char from Onegai Twins anime, one of my all time favourites

bvc100 endorsed anime: True Tears

There's a whole range of new animes on the internet. Got to see some of them and by God there are some worth mentioning. One anime in particular is True Tears. It's kind of those drama types, based on a high school kid's life. Although you can predict the plot as it goes along, i must say that i got hooked to it for some reasons.

One of it is the quality of the artwork. I'm not sure which anime-studio made it, but a pat on the back for them for making a series that doesn't look out of place in a movie. You can see from some of the screenshots below, the background and attention to detail is marvelous. By the way, you can hardly differentiate which part or object is made entirely by CG and which are drawn. It is that good!

Secondly, i've got a soft spot for well designed characters, and this one has it in bucket load. The three main bishoujo characters are simply... beautiful and kawaii at the same time. Of course, i do have a favourite: Isurugi Noe (and she's featured in most of the screenshots below~~~). Oh yeah, the design of the male characters is just as good.

And last but not least, the overall presentation. The music (especially the opening song by Eufonius), sound effects and seiyuu voices are well matched to the anime to give it that extra something over other animes. As a result, i fully endorse this anime to anyone who love this sort of genre.

Jeng3... who is Isurugi Noe?

Introducing... Isurugi Noe~~~

Kawaii~~~

A basketball scene. This is one of the proof that their artwork is tops~

Huh? What's this? Who is she supporting??? Noooo!!!!

p/s: The last anime that swept me off my feet was Kanon. That was good...

Other updates

Let's see... oh yes.

ONE. The new Proton BLM in one of my previous post has been officially launched today by our Prime Minister. The car retains the Saga name without an additional name at the back to make it sound cool or plain dumb (no pun intended).

TWO. Just finished reading a book entitled "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki with Sharon L. Lechter as the co-author. The book was a recommended read by a good friend of mine (thanks Aziim) and i find it a MUST READ for all of you out there who wants to get out of the 'Rat Race'...

THREE. Watched some new episodes of well known (or old) anime plus some newer ones. I sincerely recommend you to watch Gintama, especially ep.44. Other recommended titles include Over Drive, Clannad, Bamboo Blade, Rozario Vampire, True Tears and some unmentionables~

FOUR. Found that Shakugan no Shana Second is as flat as the first season. No particular reason yet, but i will find one by the end of the series. Watched Gunslinger Girl season 2 ep.1 and found the artwork and sound to be disappointing. See the first season, and you'll know what i mean.

FIVE. My figure of Tohsaka Rin seems to deform with time. i don't know whether it's just me or it really is deforming (oh no!!!). This will be covered properly in an upcoming blog.

Phew... done! (@_@)'
