Princess

Slow aren’t I? ^^;
Since some people wanted to see this figure so I decided to post the photos of it first~

Princess, that’s all I know about this girl’s name. She’s from Full Ani, an animated H game about Mahjong, some of you more keen people may recognise the artist.
While I havn’t played the game itself, I have er… watched the game ^^;

Location

Ah~ In the background is the building next to the Old Arts Building, which is where Saber and Irisviel were, and to the right of the photo is the quad area where Nagi was.
Behind me is a large park area where it’s perfect for a picnic :3

Setup

No mini-tripod, but didn’t really needed it. The day was also cloudy so hence the white sky ^^;
It was however, windy as hell. I had to get my friend to literally hug my gear to stop it from fly away, and I had to take photos of Princess when the wind was calm to reduce the blurriness @_@

Figure

Cute :3
Princess has a certain innocence to her, you can’t even see her panty as there…isn’t any. She wears one of those baggy…things. Her drill hair is nice tho, I have a certain fetish for things like that ^^; The sculpt is quite nice, though there are a few noticeable seams on her hair here and there. Her pose is also light and cheery (if only I REMMEBERED TO TAKE A FULL FRONTAL PHOTO!). The paint is quite decent, but I’m not a fan of Kotobukiya’s painting for most of their figures, I find them way too glossy for my tastes, however this is a nice job :3

Thoughts

Shame about the weather =/ but it didn’t turn as bad as I expected I guess. Could be better ^^;
It was really really windy though, was hard getting a good focus with my shaky hands and wobbling figure.

Summary

A bargain figure I purchased at Manifest, makes me wonder if it’s a fake…XD
This photo shoot could of been better as with most of my photos, but still, I’m happy with the outcome I guess. ^^;

On other news, The iDOLM@STER Live For You! trailer has recently been released, seems more like there’s more interaction with the actual performances rather than the behind the scenes issues like auditions. Go check it out at Gamersyde.

Upcoming Stuff!

OTL Sorry guys about the lack of updates, been busy yadda yadda~ Point is, I got a whole bunch of stuff to show you guys soon, and just in time for the xmas holiday :D Wanna know what’s going to happen? Read on!

Basically what I have lined up are the photos that I’ve still to post, some other nifty items of otaku interest from soundtracks to video games, and I’ll be starting the simple weathering tutorial for newbies as well! The current poll seems to indicate that the Soviet T-34 is in the lead at the time of this writing, which is great as I got lots of them…living up to their name of the most numerous tank in WWII. The poll will be open to the moment I start, which may be into late November, or early December.

Here’s some previews of the photo shoots I’ve still to post, in no particular order:

For those interested, I’ve been busy with final assignments with my study for the year, also I’ve been sucked into the grinding world of Lineage 2 again, along with games occupying me on PC, Xbox360 and PS2. I’ve gotten into the interview stage of my studies for next year so hopefully they’ll turn out well, otherwise it’s job hunting for me! :D
