[Comic] First Experience

Well, yeah, I'm kinda somewhat learning on doing weathering, as suggested by a commenter on my deviantArt page. Did some dry brushing with dark copper (coulnd't find metallic grey in a local Tamiya store).
Not sure if I'm satisfied with my first try. Kinda felt I overdid in some places and didn't put enough in other places. But oh well, it's a start :).
And I'm quite fond of portraying SCM EX RX-78-2 as the crazy guy that does silly stuffs XD.

Model kits used in this comic:

• Bandai's RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II AEUG color
• Bandai's HGUC 1/144 GM Striker
• Bandai's HGUC 1/144 GM Custom
• Banpresto's SCM EX RX-78-2

Japanese version after the jump.

[Gallery] Rooftop Test

Tried doing some photoshoots on the rooftop of my new lodging house. Dusty as heck and not as flexible as taking pictures on my own room, but I am very, truly, extremely satisfied with the results.



More pics after the jump.
Open the pics on a new tab for larger size.

System Weapon 003, Writing Interrupted

Well, my writing process was halted by the arrival of this:



Couldn't resist getting one since both the beam rifles and shields included here are pretty awesome looking. Not to mention I haven't built anything in the past two months, the temptation for building this is pretty tough ;^^.

Some pics after the jump.
Pics are taken using my cellphone camera, so sorry for the quality.

H_R is Currently Writing~

Currently (still) writing a post about my experiences from Culture Japan Night Jakarta last week.
Meanwhile, here's some random things that I myself am not sure why I made them.

[Event Diaries] AFA Indonesia

In case any of you wondering why I've been spamming Japanese on my Twitter account yesterday (I doubt anybody even cared, though), I just came back from Anime Festival Asia Indonesia, which was the very first actual Japanese event in Indonesia, and I was blown away by the concert. After getting home, I went to thanks every artists on Twitter before sleeping despite sore throat and sore legs & arms muscles (worth every hops and glowstick swings).


My only loot from AFA ID.
Had I not found this, I probably would've bought the Aniki Muffler.
I want it soooooo much, but it was pretty expensive :(.

[Comic] Partner Planes

SCM EX is in town, baby!
Kits used in this comic:

• Bandai's RG 1/144 RX-78-2
• Bandai's RG 1/144 Aile Strike Gundam
• Banpresto's SCM EX RX-78-2
• Banpresto's SCM EX Guncannon

Also, a little surprise after the jump.

Banner's progress

I really wanted to make this banner as good as I can, so it might take a little longer even though some can say that I'm very close to finishing it. And it doesn't help that my teacher wanted me to script some extra code for my report's revision ;=_=.

That said, here's how far I've made it:

Click for larger size

Thanks to my friend for recommending me a cool Photoshop plugin.
I still need to alter the angles and size so it'll fit banner size.

By the way, do you guys prefer it to look like a painting or not?
I think I'll put this as another poll. It's on the right side of the site.
EDIT: The poll won't save for some reason, so just post it in the comments ;^^

Here's some pic of the cropped HGFC God Gundam and RG RX-78-2 that I've played around with effects on Photoshop.
