Luka-chan~~~ Although I can't afford a big Nendroid of you (even though I really want a Tako Luka), I still get a petit Nendroid in the end <33

I suppose I already know what I should get for Christmas presents, if Mello and Near won't come to HK before the end of December. I'm so getting the small KAITO and Miku. =D

I'm super busy these days, so don't expect frequent updates. ^^;

Heheheh.

2009-11-08T07:42:41Z

I'll save the f-list with this big cut, as there are quite a lot of photos (that's just four, you liar).

Rem-san <3333 I somehow managed to attach her wings after quite a lot of work, since they don't fit initially.

One of my newer sketches, Ange from Umineko ~ I haven't scanned any of the sketches as I don't really have time to play with pictures. Homework, homework.

Two newly bought doujins!! I want to take photo of L Whispering too, but then there won't be enough space for photo shooting. And yes, my mobile phone is so crappy that the resolution is poor.

Mondo Nero is a small doujin listing the dark-fairy-tale Vocaloid songs and make some illustrations out from some of the songs. I bought it mainly just for looking for creepy songs. ^^;

"You can see it when you have love" (quite messy translation) is a semi-crack doujin dealing with umineko characters. Here's the backside of the doujin:

I want to make some Ange icons already. *headdesk*

I've ordered another umineko doujin, a DN picture fanbook (another type of doujin with no actual storylines) and an APH fanfic doujin (Gilbert/Elizabeth). Also planning to order some HK-san doujin since I love my city. XDD

Making some progress with my songs, but I don't think I'm going to present it so soon, as I won't be asking my friend to write the lyrics until April or May next year.

Rem-san~

2009-11-04T13:47:19Z

Oh dear, I never imagined there would be such a day when I don't have to suffer owning a lot of Lights, Misas and Ls for a Rem. Wouldn't mind if I get a Ryuk or Watari as company, but that can cost me a lot since Ryuk is more expensive (10 HKD, 10!!) and I can't even see Watari.

Rem-san~ <33333333333

Although what I really want is a Nendoroid size like Ryuk, it doesn't matter that much to have a little one instead <33333

I'll post photos tomorrow when I have some more time. Rem's little wings is the biggest problem I face right now.

P.S. The shop keeper told me that he would get the second series as well!!!!!! =D I'm pretty sure I'm gonna spend a couple hundred dollars at that shop, including the small Vocaloid series that I reallllly want.

Finally, some post.

She had been respected; she had been loved; she had been admired.

All of this did not remain.

Now, she is known as the witch that gave life to puppets and brought cities to destruction. The witch that almost succeeded in destroying the capital of the Kingdom.

The most well-known witch that had been executed in the Witch Hunt.

真実、虚妄
Reality, Delusion

1. 二色に髪の魔女
2. 赤の復讐
3. 悲劇の恋人
4. フィナーレ

Ok. (I don't even know whether the Japanese are written correctly. Probably not.)

This is the series that I've been dealing with. Based on several myths, including Galatea and Pygmalion which inspires me into writing this.

The two links that I give out are only just samples with lyrics not yet written. The words they sing don't form any language (well, save for Miku, whose lyrics I randomly picked from a certain song to reduce time for typing useless words).

The roles assigned for now:

Witch-sama: Luka
Narrator (sort-of): Miku

Others remain hidden from you all for now. ^^ Enjoy (and sorry if if the songs cause any uncomfort as they fail so much.)

Plus: All of these songs are definitely not completed yet. There's still much to be done concerning the melody and everything else.

It has been so long ago...

2009-10-15T06:57:42Z

Work has kept me busy for a long time. And I doubt it is going to let me go in a while.

I still keep watching entries, but rare I would comment.

I still do some occasional self-RP, but I think most of Lena-chan and part of Rem has already left me. I don't have the spirit of playing Misa either.

I don't have much progress in making songs.

...

Meh, I'll try to do something once in a while.

Like actually posting pictures here again.

.........

2009-09-24T08:54:23Z

...I'm too busy these days. With homework.

Maybe I should upload something when I really have time.

......

2009-08-28T01:26:25Z

Sometimes I feel weird since I feel like I'm the odd one out.

Maybe that's part of the reasons why my inspiration ran out too soon.

Hmph.

Have a colored Gilbert, since I was too bored.

...

It appears that I slowly get interested with the APH stuff. Maybe that's because of "Gilbert" and "Elizabeth". *shrug*

2009-08-22T23:56:16Z

Ahhh this time's Comic World is marvellous, although i'm a bit sad I didn't get something.

I bought this.

There is a wordless manga in side, I must scan it due to the marvellous content. =] It's just plain sad that the little L in the first piece is too...innocent to be him. He does look great with kittens though. Just look like an AU little L to me, sigh.

I got a Aku no musume doujin, (which I have been waiting for its release, knowing how the people in the group love to make crack out of them)

Completed with two little maid!Len panels in the doujin. xD

I somehow bought my first APH doujin without knowing it, since it's all about HK-style cracks.

And some more Vocaloid doujins. ^^

I also got my friend's CD, and it's great, completed with cool booklet.

Some complaints:

1. GIVE ME BG DOUJINS, DAMMIT. It isn't funny when 80% of the stalls sell BL or GL stuff, while the rest 15% has pictures only. Is it that hard to ask for some normal pairings? Sometimes I just want to give up on HK fandoms. *sigh* Should I fly to Taiwan sometimes for its events?

2. I WANT THAT DOUJIN. There was the Taiwan artist whose style I admire a lot, and she has a new doujin released. She wouldn't be re-printing, so the small amount of it sold in the event is the last pile available. I have no idea it's being sold in the event, so I missed the chance.

Worse, I saw it being sold out right in front of me. =[

Compliments:

The cosplayers are cooooool. The L cosplayer upset me a bit, but Near looks fine. And then there are lots of KAITO and a cute KAIKO~ some APH cosplayers are cool too. And I saw a perfect Lenalee cosplayer, in the 3rd uniform!!!! <333

I wasn't in the queue for too long when I bought the ticket, and thanks goodness, the sun isn't harsh to us. The other queue is inside the building, so yay, we aren't getting roasted.

Now, I guess i should start scanning (and study).

Because DGM is OMG back.

2009-08-18T00:17:56Z

Ah, some review after a long time of break, dearie. It's just so sad that we don't get to see it every week though. Have to wait till November, which will be a great torture.

I actually wonder what Lena-chan will look like in this new drawing style, but it seems that we only got a panel of her back. Imagining she in Greece is good enough, I suppose.

Are the Noahs trying to freak us out or something? With all those somehow weird clothes... and the sexiness of some of them...

Same to the Alma Karma though of another reason. Gimme some break from the male-pregnancy-like stuff.

The only other issue I'm bothered is the fact that there's got more than 1 chapter's worth of plot in there. Kinda difficult to read. And it keeps reminding me of the first chapter (which should be the only one who got that length).

Something, finally.

2009-08-16T14:16:39Z

I've made a sample (definitely incomplete) for a song I'm planning to make. Will someone listen to it and give me some comments?

The part played by the oboe is where my vocaloid will sing.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mnumjdwnurn

Instruments used: Strings, Cello, Piano. Have no idea how to deal with percussion, so I'm leaving out those for now.

Edit: I've updated the download page with this sample.

Ahh, work.

2009-08-13T15:02:23Z

Well, I'm quite busy with studying... hope everything will be better after 16 April.

I will go to yet another convention on 22th! I really hope I will get something really cool this time. Especially when I have already expanded my interest to APH. XD

I suppose I will have some time to post something...

Back.

2009-08-02T00:06:50Z

After the camp, I just want to sleep more.

Then again, it's 8 in the morning...

Bye, dear.

2009-07-17T00:28:05Z

Gong to camp today! I'll come back for a break on 25th, see you all then~

Yay.

2009-07-12T00:49:28Z

My dad's totally against downloading programs from Net, hence we bought the whole pack of Adobe Design Premium.

I get a more updated version of Photoshop, as well as Flash. =] It's really much better, just that I haven't had an idea how to use the new functions... ^^;

The sad fact remains that I'm going to camp starting from next Friday. All the way till I get a break in the period 25-27 July, then I'll go back to the camp till August 1. Guess I'll try to draw something or write something in the mean time, when not in lessons or special activities.

Hope I will be able to post something before I leave~ The Lena-chan I drew earlier looks amazing. To me, at least.

short worklist, will be updated.

2009-06-26T10:28:15Z

Unreachable (trying to find other titles, this one's not fitting) PV: 60%
Kaclue Shihare PV: 10%
Lukako concept art: 5%
PIctures: 1%
English Literature Creative writing: 0%

Need many references.

2009-06-24T13:45:36Z

Crack, making a PV is way harder than I imagined. *defeated*

I've made half of it already, but some crucial part is missing and I forgot what it is. =v= Ah, how wonderful. I also have no idea how to convert my swf into flv... wonder if there's converter available that can be used without downloading.

Maybe I should work on Lukako's concept art first, since she will appear quite often in my other songs. Love her voice.

Well, at least her name's settled: Megurine Lukako (巡音ルカコ). Wanted to use Luko initually, but then I remember UTAU's Ruko... Her design lies somewhere between finished concept and sketch, although her hairstyle has been settled.

And, I'm totally in love with Lena-chan's new graphic at the TCG site~ Gave me some comfort when the series' not updating anytime soon.

blackwhite_rain @ 2009-06-23T08:53:00

2009-06-23T00:54:18Z

Start working on the PV right after getting Flash (as Dad won't let me download it, given the high risk of getting viruses), and oh goodness, I've almost forgotten all functions of Flash. xD

Had to grab the textbook four years ago in order to deal with it, I suppose. Still, seeing it moves is sooo awesome. I had only been imagining what the possible outcome would be.

But then again, using Flash is unexpectedly difficult... Maybe I should do some more work with Luka (and Lukako) before heading towards the next step.

Done!

2009-06-16T14:13:24Z

Ohh, now I can start working on my songs (and PV) again. Yay for the end of examinations!

Want to post some new parts of the PV, but then I decide they are too ugly and so, let's keep them away from being shown to public.

Suddenly want to draw Lena-chan...

And I want to RP again. When all my muses have taken off to a trip... *sigh*

Belated announcement.

2009-06-07T14:03:59Z

I'm having exams until 16th, so I'll be gone until then.

Economics is going to kill me before Maths&Statistics can...

I like to renew my icons.

2009-06-01T14:45:56Z

Some more work done, but my exams are near. Which means I'll have to take a short break from making songs and really go study all day long.

And I don't like it.

Guess I would feel better after checking for some Near pictures at pixiv, since things over there are just plain cool or hilarious.

Well, you see...I was trying to get some good pictures, and I saw a Near whose pose I like, and there's chocolate in his hand. I thought, "Oh good, I can actually download something for my old DN file."

And then I saw that he was wearing a wedding dress. A freaking white wedding dress.

Even if he is really girly, I don't think I can accept most boys in girls' wear. Unless the picture is really hilarious and I would accepted that as a joke.

Finally, something new to share.

2009-05-24T14:47:11Z

I actually completed the song, goodness. Now I can really go on working on the pictures to make it a real PV.

Not the one that I dedicated a hell month writing the lyrics though, since my dear friend doesn't seem to have any time to translate it. It's another piece I wrote for practising Luka's English. Oh goodness, her English sucks without any tuning.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dymiyzdynhg

Download at your own risk. = v =

Oh, and for anyone who can't understand a word said in English, here's the lyrics.

And that, sucks a lot. Believe me.

--

Living in two separate worlds
Ten thousand miles between us
Too far away you are
The unreachable distance

Your world is such a mystery
You seems far away even when you're nearby
While they left you one by one
I chose to stay by your side

Sleeping in your shattering world
You never noticed the eyes that look so blue
But still I chose to stay behind
To protect the soothing smile

Memories are fading
Flowing away like a stream of light
I want to smile like before
Yet the sky is spinning and I fall

Everything eventually ends
A smile that you could not have before
In the end you never recognized me
Still I have no more regrets

--

I believe I hadn't tune Luka very well, since she just sings weird at some points. Still, I want to share this piece with you all, 'cause it's the first song I made WITH background musics. Somehow figured out how to generate a midi that is actually fine for my standard.

Not happy about thieves.

2009-05-22T14:26:04Z

There goes another sad chicken who steals good artists' stuff. Well, maybe he/she treats dA as something like Photobucket...

http://ally-ce.deviantart.com/

The main problem being the source of the original site is restricted to registered members only, so I can't really go and report this thief. Wonder what I can do, but at least I put a reminder there asking him/her to take the pictures off.

Nobody is going to fool around pictures of the adorable (?) Mikuo.

... Maybe my obsession got worse.

And any comments on these OH-SO-WONDERFUL-OCs?

Still Cats-obsessed.

2009-05-20T13:54:55Z

Now I regret for not buying the CDs. *sigh* The versions available on Net and in DVD is just too... strange for my taste. Must've been the fault of that awesome on-stage performance. I suppose I have to admit that I like the voices of the actors in the performance on-stage more, than the ones available in other sources.

The problem is, I have no idea how I can get the CDs now... *sigh* Should've bought it that night regardless of the price.

Extra note: Exams are near, and I'm doomed. Especially when my mind is still full of CATS. Hopefully, my stomach will not catch butterflies during the oral examinations...

Meh.

2009-05-18T12:02:00Z

Work, work, work.

I've watched Cats last Friday, and it's awesome!!! <333 I'm sooo glad that I get to watch it in HK. Watching it performed on stage is just sooooo different from watching it from television. And I guess I'm in love with the play again. xD

Working with Photoshop and the synthesizer, having a hard time trying to tune Luka's AMAZING English pronounciations. Never know it's that bad until I really try it out.

I suppose I'll get a short sample video first before really setting my hands on Galatea and Pygmalion: Reversed. My friend never get time to work on the translation anyway.
