Kingdom Hearts - Organization XIII

Finally! This shoot was taken back in Memorial Day at the San Jose Town Hall. That place is a very gorgeous area to take pictures. As I have said in the teaser to this post, you can never go wrong with any angle. Luckily for us, there were no events going on at the time so I was able to get some shots, undisturbed.

Then Amy (the one in Roxas) got hit on by a drunk bum. The situation was unnerving at the time, but looking back now, it's really hilarious! The guy reeked of booze. You'd think he downed a whole bottle of rubbing alcohol.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Overall, not a bad July 4th; I got to spend it with people that made me laugh so hard that I almost cried and a gorgeous location. We watched the sun set and the city come to life at night. I saw more fireworks shows that night than I've seen in my lifetime. And then we saw a tree catch on fire (a pretty big fire too... doggone kids) and the firemen fighting the fire. Unfortunately I wasn't able to catch pictures of fireworks because my camera isn't that great.

SUNDAY MORNING

I went to Santa Monica on impulse to do some reading. It was very relaxing, very well-needed. I totally forgot how cold the marine layer was after living in the Valley for over a year. I forgot to bring a light jacket and was freezing most of the time. I also managed to get a sunburn on my right shoulder. What?? I NEVER get sunburned! I used to be able to go out in 90 degree weather without sunblock. What is this?

That morning, I also had some really attractive bed hair. It went in directions I've never seen it go before. Of course, my hair being as much of a neat-freak as I am, it went back into its usual place and the bed hair was no more :(

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Michael Bay, this is what I think of the plot of your new movie.

No plot, no character development, nothing.

Though it was very cool-looking. I'll give you that much.

My Milk Toof

A day in the life of a Tooth. UTTER CUTE.

Kingdom Hearts Organization XIII Teaser

This was taken during Fanime, at the San Jose City Hall. That place has some pretty epic architechture. You can't go wrong with any angle. More will be on their merry way.

Yes, my friends, it is what it is. And this is probably one of the coolest, yet stupidest websites I've encountered, aside from thisisphotobomb.com and failblog.org.

Hard Copy

I know not much of Abel's full backstory, but I do have a hypothesis, which is what this work is based on. Aside from his story, Abel started to grow on me, haha. He's one of those characters where he wants to lead a pretty normal life, so he watches movies, loves food, etc. To me, he's the most down-to-earth character in the game [even though he's suffering from amnesia, hehe]

So so~ This is how Abel got his scars!! Click on the image for a larger view ~

Whatever, so Abel didn't exactly spawn from a bunch of wires, but the general idea of his backstory [so far] is there. He's supposed to be one of the Seth clones but somewhere along the line, the process failed and his body was supposed to be discarded. At least, that's what the game implied verbally. My take on it is that Abel IS the hard copy of Seth. Otherwise, why would Abel babble on about Seth looking like him?

It would suck if my take on it was totally wrong. haha

Anyways, MY MISSION IS A TOTAL SUCCESS!!! WOOO!!!

Shadow Kids

Aww, look at Gouken's pupils~~~ My, how they've grown to be big tough dudes! I'm sure he appreciates Kenny's radioactive hair.

Originally I wanted to do some photomanip work, but the whole idea took a complete 180 turn on me when I did what I usually do to QC my work: add a black solid. At the time, I was working on Kenny's hair, but started to grow fond of the idea of not showing his face. It looked pretty damn cool, plus it took about 2 hours of work off my shoulders. Talk about lazy, but there are no rules, after all! As long as it works, that's my motto! YEAH BOY!!


My thumbs are sore from playing too much SFIV. Some awesome French dude in the game is starting to rise up as my secondary character (next to Kenny). I wish I was awesome with Guile because Guile is just THAT AWESOME, but alas.

This makes mission 3/4 complete. YEAH!! I think I'm going to do something that pertains to the French dude; his backstory is appealing to me. Let's hope it doesnt disappoint! The next comic by Udon doesn't come out till July which is WAY too long.

His First Flash Kick

Okay, so MAAAYYYYYYYBE not his first since technically you practice before you make it perfect, so you can say this is this little cadet's first perfect one. HOWWWW CUUUUUUTEEEE~~~ Charlie would be proud!!

It's a little Guile as a cadet! ^_^ A little Guile who drinks, apparently. They start so young ;_; Don't ask how a cadet is able to hold a can of Bud out in the open on base in the middle of a runway of all places and not get in trouble for it, cuz I can't figure it out myself. o_O Maybe Charlie's gone too soft, or he just sucks as an officer.

AND ~ Remember that insane 3D Guile I just showed you in the last post? I found the artist's website and he has the serious blow-by-blow on this one. Fuckin hardcore. You have to check this one out: http://www.pseudo-pod.com/temp/Guile/guile.htm

Crimson Viper - Out of Uniform

I'm on a mission. My mission is to finish a project by every Sunday for the month of April. I almost failed the first yesterday, but I didn't. How? I have absolutely no clue. However, after learning a couple things yesterday it seems I need to add some parameters. Like. Choosing a different style. Or something.

Also, you must check this out. It's the hottest shit I've encountered last week.

Mmm Guile, he's so voluptuous in SFIV and so strong! *___*

Crimson Viper, Penciled

Whoo, Crimson Viper. Click on image, blah blah. I will color it this week. I kinda like her upside-down, but I don't know. I'll test it out soon.

New Smashin' Wallpaper

Mmmm, Ryu and Kenny. My top 3 SF babes are Ken (#1), Guile (#2), then Ryu. Kenny is just flippin' hilariously awesome, Guile is badass and I love the way he fights, and Ryu is just pinchable cheeks adorable. And he's a hobo too! Not many hobos can pull that off.

Crimson Viper

This is me as Crimson Viper from Street Fighter IV. Tony Quan is the fucking GOD of photography. I look up to him as a mentor for my work. I do suggest you check his work out at tonyquan.com.

I also would like to thank Ming for letting me borrow her costume, wig, EVERYTHING! The white vest was signed by Capcom's producer himself. I wish I took pictures of the signature. In the meantime, you gotta believe me.

This measly thumbnail does absolutely no justice for Tony's work. Click on the image.

Sadako Yamamura

This set was taken (yesterday, actually) at the Arboretum in Arcadia, CA. The security guards there? TOTAL DOUCHEBAGS. Yeah. Anyway, this place was great for Sadako from The Ringu. I have not seen the movie yet, nor do I intend to.

Street FIghter

This shoot was taken place in Balboa Park in Van Nuys, CA. It was cherry blossom season at the time, but the verry blossoms were playing stupid little cherry blossom games and decided NOT to bloom until the weekend after. Bastards. Anyway, working with these guys was insanely fun. Matt (the one cosplaying as dark Ryu) is one awesomely hyper individual, Miguel and Jill are the opposite of Matt--- SUPER CHILLAX TO THE MAX. I didn't have to pose them either; they just did their own thing and BAM~
