Modelling?? Really now?

So yeah, for those of you readers who have been reading or checking on my blog frequently, THANK YOU SO MUCH! *bows and wipes the manly tears*
I'm touched. No, really, I AM touched, with no hint of sarcasm, not one single bit. As I've mentioned in  my earlier post, I'll be posting some progress on my 3D modelling of the Blade Liger Mirage(ZOIDS).

Here goes =D

How I started off. By emulating the skull of a dog. The main form before  messing the polygon lines.
 SO, HOW TO BEGIN!? The question that was screwing up my mind. Luckily for me, I thought of a dog's skull. And that gave me the idea to begin/start off the main form(have to thank one "Bubbles" belonging to a someone). Before I mess with the polygon lines and edges/vertices/face and then, lo and behold the outcome of the head.
And here you have the head, with whiskers. Well, it still has yet to go into perfection messing. SOON...SOON!!!
And once I was done with the head, I went on to the body.

Somehow, it resembled a rocket/cannon/blaster
That's the body..yeah, nothing special bout it yet. And moving on~

Foreleg, with no armor on, YET.
Yes, that's the foreleg. without armor on it yet. But soon..SOON!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH- *cough cough* *hack* *wheeeeezzzzeee* Dang, can't even laugh right. -_-

So yeah, that's all I've got for you readers this round.
Stay tuned yo!

Cheers~

Of kits, and models. Model Kits

*knock knock*
Who's there?
*silence*
Must be one of them kids playing with my knocker again.

Yeap, lame start, but like "they"(maybe just me) say, Lame is the new Cool. So yeah, howdy everything and everyone. Been nothing short of busy lately, what with the submission dates for assignments looming closer like the jaws of a fiery dragon about to swallow it's helpless prey. Truth be told, haven't really had much progression on my assignments.

Ended up getting some reference material for my 3D assignment. Surprised me, myself and I though, that I actually went to this extent to get reference. Not getting a clue to what I'm saying eh? Here's a picture.

Yeap, hello there baby
So, a picture of my current project. Just bought this model kit for my 3D modelling. Reason being?
None.

Juuuusstttt kidding. Reason being, I'm a meticulous person. I need to actually feel and see the thing that I'm modelling so I can actually make it perfect. Yeah, and that pretty much summed...this up?

Scale 1/72, Highend Kit, Blade Liger Mirage, Kotobukiya

The CEREMONIAL un-boxing of the model

It was all good and all, hugging, carrying, lugging the huge box back home via KTM. Dear God, the KTM commuter system, could have been the death of me. The jammed packed-ness and all. The box was no tiny BANDAI HighGrade size yo! But this is still better than the size of a BANDAI PerfectGrade box. THOSE ARE LONG AS THEY ARE HUGE. GOD, bless me.

Right, topic derailed *slaps self*. Where was I? Oh, being happy and all. 
Right, so I was happily dragging my haul back home. Taking some memorial pictures of it. Admiring the cover, the art, even...the box itself (Yes, the BOX. You heard me right). Then, the CEREMONIAL un-boxing of the kit. 

The change of look on my face was...quite comical to my dear sister. From the happy smiling, grinning look that abruptly transformed to "OH GOD WHY? THIS CANNOT BE HOLY MACARONI PIZZA SHIZZNITS HAPPENING!" face...You get the picture. Here's a simpler picture.

When I saw this,

Oh god...THE NUMBER OF RUNNERS, THE PARTS!
My face turned from this

That HAPPY FACE


To this

To the OH GOD WHY....NUUUUU FACE
And why is this? Cause I got less than a week to complete both the 3D and the model. I guess...good luck and all the best to myself is needed.... I'm gonna really need it. Truck loads of it.

Been almost a year since I last touched Model Kits. Time to dig out the old weaponry, the ancient tools and whatnots to battle this kit. Hope my skills are still....there.

Anyway, will be posting some progress here and there... o_o

Cheers,
Vincent

The Story That Should BE


Hello everyone and everything. I'm back again. Why? I don't know myself. Maybe it's because I'm just sitting here and suddenly thought of maybe..procrastinating a little...rest a bit, get off them assignments...or maybe I was just bored. But here's a story for you people!

HAPPY READING!


Once upon a time, there was a beautiful duckling that was so beautiful nobody wanted to be friends with her. The reason? They thought she was a fake duckling. So the poor duckling search far and wide for a way to rectify this problem. Lo and Behold! She found...the ROASTER! So she went in and sat for an hour. After an hour, she came out roasted and she was served to a family. Everyone ate and they were happy. The duck? She was happy everyone was happy and also she was roasted black so she couldn't care less. Everyone lived happily ever after. The End.


AND SO

Concludes my post today. I shall now take my leave.

Cheers~

Bon Odori 2012 ~ Summer Event!

Well, hello biological beings! I'm back with a new post. This time a look on the summer event, Bon Odori. 

Bon Odori or Bon Dance, is held to honor one's ancestor. But still it never stops people from joining in the festivities. This year, Bon Odori was held at the same place, Stadium Matsushita, Shah Alam on the 14th of July. There was stall loads of food and a stage was set up in the middle of the stadium for the Bon Dance. 

This year marked the 4th year of my attendance to Bon Odori, and the 2nd year in a yukata. 
So enough talking and pictures! =)







It won't be hard to guess which is me =)

That's all for now folks!

Cheers~
