I randomly came across something new for Yoko's firearm collection - a Type-95 assault rifle! Created by Huayu Hobby Limited, this aluminum 1/3 scale rifle is as heavy as it looks! Also, new shirt, jacket, shoes and shades from Alice's Collection.

For 2012, it's another take of a hatsumode (初詣, はつもで, first shrine visit of the new year) themed image for a nengajō (年賀状 - ねんがじょう), which is a New Year post card sent by Japanese each year. While I'm not Japanese myself, I thought it...

Enjoy the holidays :)

I’m rather surprised by the lack of any Otakon 2011 posts here so I’ll change that with my short weekend experience. I arrived late Saturday morning and left Sunday afternoon. Otakon 2011 marked my second largest anime convention visit. My first anim...

I love Kara no Kyōkai (空の境界) and was delighted to hear that the blu-ray set would come with English subtitles! Even better that it would be available through US distributers with an English translation of the lengthy interview inside the artbook....

Just wanted to pass my New Year's wishes along like I did last year. The idea for the image came from seeing all the “nengajō” (年賀状 - ねんがじょう) that were being posted on pixiv. Nengajo are New Year post cards sent by Japanese each year that of...

Just finished this up and wanted to share. Last year it was a Santa girl, but this year is an Angel wishing everyone a Happy Holidays! In case if your wondering, she's another character I made up. You can see more of Sayako over at my dA site here.

I'm a big sucker for behind-the-scenes specials for shows,games, movies and anything else that I enjoy. It's a great way to learn something new and it's just plain fun to see how something is made. In taking this idea, I thought it might be fun to se...

Finished this up over the past weekend and wanted to share some springtime Miku with everyone!

Here's some more pictures I took today with Yoko showing off her new clothes - a continuation of last night. Both dresses are from a company called littlewonder Ward Robe, but I had purchased them through Dollfie World. They're really well made, not...

Yoko decided to have a little make over to go along with her new dress. Crazy how a new wig completely changes her look! I guess this could also double as an early Chinese New Year post too, but it's probably more appropriate for the former as you'll...
