Mostly done for practice! I sketched her out last month but beat around the bushed a couple of times before finally getting around to painting her today. Took about an hour to paint in the colours.

For some reason, I just had the urge to do a quick doodle of my favourite 90′s anime, You’re Under Arrest 「逮捕しちゃうぞ！」. Took roughly twenty minutes. I also decided to randomly record it using my really crappy camera on a dollar tripod instead of recording it via screen capture software! So if you’ve got twenty minutes of your life to waste, why not waste it on me sketching to some pretty music? Kudos to whoever is familiar with this anime!
Here’s the sketch, I’ll finish this eventually, I hope.
I was going through my PSD files looking for something and noticed that I actually have a lot of drawings that I never got around to finishing. I should start getting up earlier in the day so I have more hours to do things. It was so easy to sleep at 2AM and get up at 7AM in Singapore since the sun simply burned my face, that doesn’t happen here in Canada though since my room’s in the basement.
It’s time to start saving again. Being a huge Saber fan, I just can’t pass this one up.
Well I’ve finally gotten about to changing/cleaning up my desktop. I ran into The Kobhens icon set yesterday and decided to try them out, neat thing is that it comes with the PSD file so I can make my own icons for apps that don’t have ‘em, like Tweetie.
For those of you who are interested, The Kobhens icon set can be found over at robertourso.com. I’m also using Glass Dock by Materia-Ring and the wallpaper and Bowtie skin (Minimal) can be found at Iconpaper.org.

Fate/Extra Type-Moon Box Is Here!

It. Is. Epic.
No doubt about it. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is one hell of a ride. This post has been a long time coming, I just haven’t had the time to sit down and write about (ok maybe not entirely since I wrote up the review on Gaming Union).
However, since I’ve clocked more than 60 hours now, I can clearly say that Peace Walker offers way more than what Guns of the Patriots ever did. While the fourth instalment was epic in its own right and definitely had plenty of moments for fanservice, it certainly felt as though it could’ve been better. Maybe I’m just biased towards Big Boss, but Peace Walker has so much in it that even after the end credits rolled, I still managed to spoil the game. How that works? Well, that’s just Kojima and his merry band of developers for you.
Being a sucker for anything Metal Gear, I actually managed to secure a copy of the Big Boss Bundle last month, thanks to my good friend April (Thanks again!). I’ve also purchased the novels and the Prima guide, which is really useful for the Extra Ops and collecting every possible item/weapon available in the game, of which there is a lot. There’s also the original soundtrack and single which you can spot in the photo above. That’s yet another plus over MGS4, the music in Peace Walker is really good, really engaging, especially when it hits the climax at the end.
Anyway, I’m still playing the darn game whenever I have the time to. If you’ve got a PSP, but no Peace Walker, do yourself a favour at get to your nearest game retailer and pick up a copy now.

Zenith Chronicles: A Quick Glimpse
Drawings & Illustrations, Personal , Mango Drop Games, Video Games, Zenith Chronicles | No Comments
Most probably don’t know this, but I’m secretly a senior ninja artist over at Mango Drop Games. I’m responsible for a number of event art and in-game background illustrations. Mango’s just dropped a sneak peak at one of the stages of Zenith Chronicles – harhar, see what I did there? Zenith’s a side scrolling shooter bullet-hell type of game with a pretty epic storyline (over seven endings!) and I’m pretty excited to be part of the development team.
Here’s another video, this time with the Gates of the Dead – which was pretty amusing to draw.
Anyways, enjoy the preview, hope you guys like it and be sure to keep your eyes on it! I’ll try and put up some of the promo art I’ve done for the game as well.
