Just as I came back home late Sunday, I realized that the phone line was completely dead, hence I’ve been missing from the internets for the past week. Gah. Hopefully the contractor will finally get to doing repairs in a few days. The entire week was wasted for Telecom people and the contractor came to figure out what was wrong.

Enough about that though. At the very least I’ve managed to spend more time on Persona 3(P3), and it was well worth it. I’m still nowhere near the ending though, and only about halfway through the Tartarus. The tarot cards which have always been a major part of the Persona series’ theme feels much more prominent in the characters and plot of P3. From the silent protagonist’s connection to ‘The Fool’, ‘Death’ and his special ability to the other persona users’ arcanas; and to the characters the represent the Social Links. Almost everything seems to fit in perfectly. For once I actually don’t mind the english voice acting either, Junpei and Akihiko’s voices feels very well done. The chairman’s voice was painfully flat at times though… I never heard his japanese voice before, so I wonder if that’s intentional ^^;

At anyrate, I’ll be back in the IRC channels when my line gets fixed. Until then there’s this fanart of the P3 protag (who I named Heiji in my game) which I did yesterday. I have no idea if I’ll ever feel like doing any more of these for the other characters, lol *logs off*

Thou, the innocent blade, Demonbane !

Just tried my hand at drawing a mecha musume recently and picked to do a Demonbane-tan XD. I really need to get back into shape at drawing… (click at the picture for full-view, I’m pretty sure the blog format cuts it off)

The annual Type-Moon Contest is entering voting at Beast’s Lair !
There’s a good number of entries for fan arts this year, and there’s even some really good ones. The quiz is quite hard this year, but the new challenge is a welcome T_T

Anyway, here’s the full version of my entry:
Shiki Tai

Characters are (left to right), Fake Shiki@Plusdisc Killer, Tohno Shiki(@Nanaya Shiki), Ryogi Shiki, Tohno SHIKI(real Tohno Shiki).
Sadly, proportion and perspective problems abound. Ahh… so typically me… orz

Not really going anywhere, since I have a whole lot of things to do… but a cool and long-time member of #beastslair is going to be travelling for at least a number of months.

Sayonara de wa nai…. kitto

So, BLgame staffers ! Let us make good progress to show when he comes back !! (yeah.. I know chances are he could just be online again while travelling, but let’s get on to it anyway ! XD )

What started out being a simple piece for a friend’s birthday turned out to be a struggle to put all those drawing and CG muscles back to work after a 2-month long break ^^;

It took 4 days after your birthday to actually complete this, but I’m sure you won’t mind as long as you get your ponytailed knight girls, RK. (ok, so Saber doesn’t have a ponytail… but you’re a Saber fanatic nontheless.)

Left to right: Shino(original), Saber(Fate/Stay Night), Signum(Nanoha A’s)

Larger version

It wasn’t until coloring started that I noticed Shino’s striking resemblence to Mitsuki from Kiminozo. That was a bit of a shock since I had already had another character that resembled Kei Ayamine. I guess when your style changes/evovles, unforseen circumstances will start to pop up.
Signum looks quite a bit off in this pic… I really should have printed out a reference picture before drawing this ^^;
