What a weathery rough weekend that was! Ice and rain with clouds reaching to the ground, foggy, and then a snow pile dumped on the city overnight on Sunday. Well, being Canadians I guess we should be used to these messy weather haha! Well, somewhat….O-Chan and Saber wanted to have fun. Also added a few Renge comics as bonus content.

Hello! I thought I’d offer up a tutorial article for those new to the figure photoshoot scene, or those simply struggling to brainstorm ideas. Article also doubles as explanation to those those unfamiliar with Anime and figures. I’m basically going to mention ways you can guess or form a personality for figures for your comics, photoshoots, stop motion, or whatever else you might be planning to do and what you might be able to use them for. This also comes from studying other people’s comics and articles.

Note: If you see some obvious points being made, or explained, then it’s because of me explaining what this is about to those unfamiliar with bringing figures to life.
Ah, another Renge post? Yup! This time with a few more comics, Valentines Day images, and stop motion images. I also hope you liked my blog’s 4th anniversary mascot in the previous article!

Welcome! Time to venture around my third Anime convention – GAnime 2011! Missing out on last years, I finally managed to go to all three Anime conventions (Otakuthon, Naru2u, and GAnime) within 2010 and early 2011. Maybe not all as I can’t get to Anime North due to transport and contact issues. Only went to Ganime on a Saturday though and found it to be be as great of a trip as Otakuthon’s.

Welcome back to part two of Renge’s Review! Why? Because she was finally added into Konami’s Battle Rondo! My other review of her was too large to add to so I thought I’d split it up into her own second review article. It’s been a long time waiting for her to appear in Battle Rondo, even when planned to be the first Shinki in my collection back in August 2010.

More snow fell in Ottawa, and this time with very a brutal enough breeze to bring out the true hatred of winter out into the spotlight. Though, I sadly didn’t get images of the near white-out conditions the snow caused when falling on Saturday.

More snow, more pictures, more shinkis, and the first actual photoshoot of 2011 on my end. Ya, sorry get all bloggy cliche about the yearly thing but I had to make a plug; couldn’t resist haha. Well, lets venture out with the shinkis and get our hands cold enough to nearly get frost-bite on it!

What an interesting start to a New Year! Also got a fresh patch of snow, with more on the way! Snowed twice now Nice! Need a tad bit more to photoshoot my figures in.
But ya, I thought I’d continue with “My favorite images”, meaning my own images, from the past year – 2010. I already did it once condensing three years into one and thought I’d do one exactly after New Year’s this time. Well, time to look back to see my Figma’s roaming around Ontario, Canada, Cuba, and the birth of my Shinki collection! Oh, and sorry if this seems cliche of an article for the more hardcore figure photoshooters. I just wanted something slightly easier to look back at and to see where I should move on in the future. You know, something to gauge how much I’ve improved and to see where I should go next.

Ho ho ho! Merry (belated) Christmas!~
Our tsundere (I was told she was) of a Tsugaru played a few tricks even before she finally made it under my command. She purposely wanted to tease me by coming earlier than stated on the delivery tracking log, and then later after the holidays Christmas. I missed her when she first came and got her on the second coming. Apparently she adopted Renge’s traits of a trickster and wanted to merge that with her tsundere-ness. It doesn’t stop there though…

Hello! Hope and trust that everybody is behaving and not stirring up negative happenings? Everybody being polite and courteous to gain extra positive karma in life? Or are you aiming to get coal under your tree and stockings? 😛 Well, I got Renge images of when she was being a bit…sour. I also ended up getting a few Christmas decorations from around the city and planning to get more, hopefully.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ah, what a lovely snowstorm that was from the weekend! I love the sounds of crunchy snow. Ended up getting freezing rain, ice pellets, and snow dumped on the city from a massive low-pressure cold front from the south. To add to that, it’s snowing once more during Monday night.
I also forgot to add this on the “same day posting”, whoops. Ah, distractions, distractions.
