This uniquely colored BMW is genius.
Not my personal first choice but I can certainly find it in a car lot with ease.

Catching up on older series light novels – Chrome Shelled Regions
Lately I have been reading more light novels than manga. This is partly due to more animated series are based upon light novels such as Sword Art Online. Going back to CSR since the series is done but the anime left me hanging when I rewatched it.

Figure Friday Challenge – "Sword Dancer" 2
Here's my entry for this week's #figurefridaychallenge . I gave a bare bones sneak peek two to three weeks ago (http://goo.gl/rt8SNl).
The background and basic guide I used was from Sorin Bechira (http://goo.gl/Jbtfx7). I also borrowed Bechira's background from his Figure 16 image to save time (+Albert Nakano I'm in the same boat with a bad photo; but with a low resolution for a background). Everything else in the image was done on my own accord to figure things out.
Some may know I tend to use Photoshop / Lightroom … heavily. I'm still a novice ^^;
I wanted to get better at Photoshop and decided I should focus on a long term self stretch project, matte painting (http://goo.gl/jscszP).
I have a much better appreciation for those that do matte painting for a living. To say it's difficult is an understatement.
Here's brief amount of techniques I had to learn/use:
– Color matching
– Displacement maps
– Contrast blending
– Clipping masks
– Multiple layers (4-6) blending

精霊使いの剣舞 (Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance)
The Familiar of Zero was the first thing that came to mind after watching the first episode for the summer anime season. The premise is rather similar:
– clueless hero
– almost every typical dere type princesses
– magical beast/weapons
