POCKET FIGHTER (Capcom)





My all time favourite fighting game, Pocket Fighter! (a.k.a Super Gem Fighter), released in 1997 Sep. I love the Street Fighter series and each character has their own level of fans and popularity in the game industry. There's also other characters from Darkstalkers such as Morrigan and Felicia. I'm so happy that they made the characters into miniature 'Super Deformed' characters. The funny thing about this game is that when you do combos, the characters will do cosplays of other Capcom characters such as Chun Li will start appearing in Jill Valentines uniform (from Resident Evil) and Felicia turning into Mega man.

Battle Arena Toshinden


hmmm..... interesting cover :P which totally differs from the game style hahaha~


You gotta love oldies!!!!!!!! It was made for the Playstation, PC and Sega Saturn. I remember it was one of the first weapon fighting games to challenge using polygon characters in 3D environments. Thanks to the 'Tekken' series, Toshinden was quickly forgotten and popularity drop so bad (-_-). I still have this game somewhere.. When I played it back then its was so fun, the soundtrack just made me laugh. Compare to games today, you realise the reaction of the characters commanded by the controls are like 2 seconds slower.

Aoi Nanase




I've been looking at this person's artworks for years and I still don't know if its a he or a she (maybe I should find out). I first discovered Aoi's work from the game and anime of Samurai Spirits OVA (old works but still good) and I'm so jealous of his/her style. I've seen the progress, changes and development or Aoi's work and I wish I could do that too.



more recent from the manga (only 1 volumn) Angel Dust.




He/she used to draw and illustrate with copic pens and ink pens which I find really hard to use because it goes everywhere like watercolours. But there's a revolution in digital arts (thank god photoshop) therefore Aoi has moved from inks to computers. I always like his/her artwork because there's many mediums changed but the style remains the same.

SL: Exploration 2

now currently using the bunny av. I like the details of the control panels.
pretty pretty lights. I didn't know it was possible to go on rides like this. it was around 6mins long.
meeting new friends. I like their avatars which are more like animals rather than humans



Lovely (^_^) I changed my avatar again but to a pink rabbit from an anime called Chobits. I met and made a few friends and they took me to various of places like sonic island, greenies, loco poco, to riding on oversize cups :D

OOOOH my cactus


Getting the hang of using maya and understanding the ways of modifying a polygon. This one is looking more like my cactus character than the previous one.

SL: Exploring







I had a little fly around in several places and I took snapshots of random things. I rode on different things and got impressed by other people's avatars. I've learnt some other stuff like becoming members of groups. I met one person who's a vampire and she requested to bit me? I took a snapshot and it looked strange haha.

I also had some time to polish up my octopus avatar slightly and even added a clover :D.

SL: Beginning






I didn't like my avatar as a human and I wanted to cover it up with something. I really liked the octopus so I tried to make my own. These are the images of my character development. I'm still not satisfied but I'll eventually smooth it out. I had to use L$10 to upload a texture for my tentacles.. T_T. Its kinda big but I like it to stand out in the crowd.
