Cryska Barchenowa

Hi there, yet another good morning everyone~ today I would like to show you another figure in scale I got this September.

Her name was Cryska Barchenowa, one of the lovely female character from visual novel 'Muv Luv', manufactured by Alpha Max, one of the beautiful SkyTube series.

Well, she's in scale of 1/7 despite her boldly sitting pose~ good box design, great for an overall view as it comes with at least 4 windows surface of the box.

I'm not a particular player of Muv Luv series either, but I'm in love of their female character design, including the 'Alternative' series which they mixed in one of the historical eroge and anime 'Kimi ga Nozomu Eien'

Cryska-chan, or Nowa-chan~ is on her sniping mission, having an black (and tight) lingerie attire in action~ sculpting was done pretty well, a decent control of color mixing, noticeably the creamy purple hair. She can be sitting on the base provided in balance as the bottom part are sculpt fairly flatten so she can sit properly to show what she got for eye catchers~

There were downside from the sculptor though, I did not really show you the lower rear part, as her panties had came off some clear unfinished dry liquid material, and a little color bleeding from her panties too. It's kinda fine to me since the front was ok, but a bit of shame I can't really show you her beautiful buttcocks~

That's it! Currently the SkyTube Muv Luv series also sculpt another character, Takamura Yui, which I already order too, so stay tuned in the future~

Nendoroid Arch Bishop

Hello, I would like to show you a super adorable Nendoroid figure I am suppose to miss due to Japan disaster, I had her back ordered and safely reach my home this September~

She is the pretty Nendoroid Arch Bishop from popular online game, Ragnarok!

I will try to keep this post short. First of all, I am absolutely love the box design, a mix of cream blue and white color with cross pattern which suits Arch Bishop well! This box will be my most favorite design out of other Nendoroids.

Following up with the adorable Arch Bishop herself~ she offers good variety of accessories, they are: caps with flowers, very adorable head band with a heart-shaped ribbon, an arch bishop staff, a must have for a third job like arch bishop, the very original pinky poring in translucent design, an aggressive facial expression, the sitting pose, four arms including a casting magic arm, and bent legs for you to pose either for bending or sitting legs.

It's a must get for me since the release announcement, as she has overall gorgeous design. Good selection of colors, beautiful blonde hair, overall very good sculpting skills, and my favorite would be the heart shaped ribbon for the hair band~ do note so, be very careful with her staff, do not ever insert to her hands by force, you may want to slowly squeeze it in.

Despite having watched Ragnarok the animation, I don't really play the actual Ragnarok that much, my only time with most Ragnarok fun experience was watching one of my life time childhood friend hacking around the battleground, hacking I mean, pick more furious fights with those deadly boss or high ranked pvp!

That's it, I know it's pretty short and simple, so hope you like it anyways. Until next time!

Artist, Keith Haring

Keith Haring (1958 - 1990) an interesting late artist of the twentieth century, very active and committed on drawings, drawn on bold lines, and active figures which carries poignant message on vitality and unity.

I was told by my lecturers of imaging for narrative and storyboards to look up his works for reference. The purpose for doing this is to get a clear idea of my current assignment, a set of four postcards. I learned about Haring only by now, all thanks to my lecturers Sharil and Kristian for pointing out, based on my very first attempt of an not-so-perspective brief sketching. The idea basically from a game I owned quite a while, Overlord, and the setting for my postcards will be like, the leaders of humans and evil beings, the footmen and the underlings. The name Keith Haring came out by them based on how I sketched.

Here are some of his artworks.

In some sort of unexplained form, I admire his life and artworks for now. 'For the record' I would like to do this post more formally, since I have never been able to be that consistent for a long period, let's say, my longest one month consistency. I am certainly trying my very best, even though I feel like I'm lack the potential of learning from the world artists and designers, I mean, and I wonder now, that western people certainly have better memories of remember what they seen, what they studied, the really good name pronunciation and the existence itself. I am certainly out of control, that I want to be getting even more progressive, even more...

That's it! The room is feeling comfortable at the same time some heat inside my body, so grabbed a Coke from vending machine. Will make an Nendoroid review and post for event SAMS Maid Cafe, I enjoyed that day very much.
