Back from Japan And Alive And Well!

Hi guys!

Is been a long time since I updated, and yes, I got back from Japan few weeks ago.

The trip to Japan was great, brings back a lot of memories,and once again it brought back one of my childhood dream : living in Japan.



Guess I will just have to work hard and achieve my goal one day!

Watched animation REDLINE while I was in Japan, this is definitely one of the best animated film for the past decade!




Recently I've been volunteering for an independent feature film shoot as a production assistant, therefore I haven't had time to much of sculpting stuff since I got back. The shooting starts between 6 to 8 in the morning and can last up to 14 hours a day. Although the hours are long, but the experience and the people there are really good! I'm learning new stuff every day and I'm excited about it!




Took this while I was on set. :P


And time flies! I will be heading to Vancouver in a month for my film study, can't wait for it! Now I just need to find a place to stay...

Main Colors Complete

I just realized how much I dislike about painting metallic colors. Although the result turns out great, but the process is just very long and time consuming. Here is the latest progress:

I`ve pretty much finished all the body work of red and blue, except few touch ups and the shields.






On the side note: Heading off to Asia starting on Wed, gonna try to finish as much as I can before I leave.

Lots of Touch-Ups

Masking have been taking up alot... I mean ALOT of time on this kit. Spent pretty much about A WEEK working on and off just trying to masking out the body. But in the end I still have LOTS of touch ups needs to do once the over all paint works are finished.




And here is the over all look after the body is done:

A New Direction

University has been a struggle for me, and finally after five stressful years, I have finally completed my university degree and able to pursuit my true passion and dream. Looking back five years ago, I've come a long way, from someone who was so confused and lost, to someone who finally discovered his dream and passion, I gotta say, without the experience and people I met throughout these years, I would never be able to get here. Therefore I deeply thank you for all the people who have helped my through out the years, and thank you for all the readers who've been checking out my blog from time to time! (Although around 3K viewers over the past year isn't much, but still, thank you for dropping by!)


Now back to the main topic, since finally school is out of the way, I'm able finish up one of the work I've been working on, Gurren Lagann. (yes, I got so many projects to finish off that is not even funny -__-) And here is the latest update:

I finished the silver paint a while back, but wasn't happy with the surface so went back and did some sanding and now I'm preparing for a repaint of the silver.





And here are some of the progress pictures:




and here is the sneak peak of the finished forearm:






I wrote an entry few months back and mentioning about heading to Vancouver, and yes, by the starting of January 2011, I will be going to Vancouver for a year for Art and Design to truly pursuit my dream, and I'm really looking forward to it!

That's it for now, more updates coming!

Almost Ready For Paint Work!

After spending last two weeks on and off sanding this kit, I'm finally close to start the paint work. The sanding work has been a frustration for me, especially due to the shape and the details on this kit. Now just need little bit putty here and there and some final sanding and then the paint work starts!

Let The Work Begin!

Finally, school is *almost* out of my life for a while, after gone through 8 months of stress, I can finally see the light at end of the tunnel! Just three more months of summer school with light course load and then I can finally focus on what I love doing the most!

Here is a sneak peak of what's coming up:

And I'm slowly working towards the finish line for unicorn's head display. >_>

Still Alive And Well!

School is giving me a very hard time in my last year of study, but thank god there only about a week left and then comes the exams. Can't wait until school is over so I can get back to doing what I love the most~!

Finally Spring is here!





PS: I will be heading off to Vancouver next year for film study, wish me luck!

Project Review!

Hi everyone, is been a while since my last post.

School is starting again, that means not much of sculpting or modeling work for me. However, I will be done school after this semester~! Can't wait until is all over!

Spent couple of quality hours at studio earlier this week to take pictures of all the "completed" works I've done at studio:

Start with a skull head, this is my 5th try on the human skull, is close to a life size.



Then did some facial feature practice:



Note that the eye is missing because I made a cast out of it, right now is sitting somewhere in my room...


And just before school starts, was playing around with my imagination...




And no, that's not ambassador Spock....

Note that I'm trying to most of my pictures to flickr, please let me know if there are any dead links to the pictures.

Oh, been trying to pick up on photography lately:



(So much for being busy with school -_-)

Now, I have to spend rest of the month in piles of school work...
