Set Design Project...?

Thinking of doing something different this time, instead of making a mecha model, I decided to do a set design model. So I took out Makoto Shinkai's reference book I got earlier this year:



which contains references for Byousoku 5cm, Beyond The Clouds, Voice Of Distant Stars and one of his Short animation for a morning newspaper in Japan.



(Camera is out of battery...)

Flipped few pages, then I decided to do a set design on this scene from Byousoku 5cm:



Since is not too complicated, I think it should be a good challenge for me to test my skills.

A better look:



Gonna do some drawing and see how the scale is going to be in the following days, hopefully I can start by end of the week, treat it as the project in November!

Toppi Is Done...? (Update #8)

Finally got around to finish up Toppi this weekend.

Spent considerable amount of time on the bag strap, as well as the left hand, just try to get it almost identical to the right hand. However got lazy in the end, didn't add too much details on it. Planing to move on to the next project =P.

Project started middle of September, finished at end of October... Total updates: 8. Way too long, need to speed up.

Anyway, here are the pics:

Back:

Bag:



Comparison with original drawing:



"Let's be friends forever~!"



Alright, time to move on to the next one.

Booo Could Not Finish It

Ok so I lied, couldn't finish Toppi by end of thanksgiving long weekend. However, I got close to finish, right now just need to finish up left hand and the other side of the strap. Then just some minor touch up, I have no idea when I will be done, maybe in a day or two, or maybe nothing until next Sunday. (Note, yeah is the week of 26th or something Orz.. )

In order to make up for my crime of not finish it on time, here are two pics:





Thoughts in a corner: A trip to France during x-mas...?

Now thinking about next project, any suggestions?
