Gundam Avalanche Exia

Step 1 : Build a temporary studio with a background colour that's not on the Gundam. Preferably bright green, blue or black and make sure the background is not the glossy paper type. For the best lighting condition, take the pictures out under the sun, or if you can't find a shred of sun anywhere, get a mirror to reflect the light where the shadow falls.
Step 2: Learn how to control the macro and aperture on your digital camera. You can still make wonders even if you don't have a DSLR. Just experiment to your hearts content. After all, this whole project is meant to make ourselves happy! X)
Step 3: Start snapping away, while making sure a good amount of light source is available. And do try to simulate where the shadow would be in the future wall paper. Good planning saves you lots of time later in photoshop.
Step 4: Snap all the pics that you'll need and start the cropping process. Principal is, if you zoom in deeper and crop, it'll look much better, but it takes a lot more time.






Step 5: After hours of cropping, you're finally done. You have the choice of making your own brushes with the cropped out pics previously. If you do that, you can then have a stamp tool that'll be really convenient next time.
Pick up a good background from Deviantart.


Step 6: Image resize to the desired pixels, for both the weapons and the gundam itself.
Step 7: Apply wind trace to make it look elliptical. Use the transform option to tilt and resize the weapons.
Step 8: Inner glow, filter, wind trace and adjust colour.

As easy as that! Cheerios. X)

Public service announcements: Donations please?

Dear all,

It's been a long and enduring 2 weeks since I've even made any effort to write a post, previous attempts were a failure. There was nothing to write about ... because there was nothing ... nothing ... nothing significant happening with my life recently. Those that dare try to reach me, care for me, I'll shrug away. I think of it as a waste of their time and effort to bother about how i am now. Because, honestly, it wouldn't help me feel any better anyways. And if you're seeking care and attention from me, don't bother, cause I'm lacking my own reserve silo for that too. Though if you're here to find me, with no expectations from me or you .... and if you don't mind a silence trail over the phone, you're welcome to drop by or give me a call. And lastly, i miss you guys. I just refuse to express it.

That's all about me lately, don't ask me anymore whats going on around here. If i continue to say anymore, this post will eventually be deleted. Don't hate me, i love you guys.

I've started a new project. Will not disclose on what it is.

Looking for building material now.

If you've any of the following items, do dump it in front of my house or call me and I'll collect it from you:

1. 1 large cardboard box or plastic container or glass case larger than (length 40cm, width 40 cm and height 100 cm).


2. Gold dust, blue dust, rubbles, metal shavings, glass or metal pieces.


3. Cutting tools and soldering equipment.


4. Miss Fala Chen - Miss Chinese New York

5. Miss Linda Chung - Miss Chinese Vancouver Canada.



Guess what my new projects all about?
*quirks*

Yours truly,
Pinky

Gundam Photoshopping 101.

Step 1 : Take a perfectly fine picture of the Gundam. Doesn't really matter if the camera is shit ... it'll still look nice in the end.


Step 2 : Start cropping the model. Would be a lot easier if the background that you took the picture with was black or any colour that's not on the model, then you can use the magic wand or the magnetic lasso.



Step 3 : When your done cropping, it should look like this. Then, select an appropriate background.




Step 4 : Copy Paste and .... done!




Step 5 : Add some effects here and there. Done!


Isn't it beautiful? If you have something to teach me, please do!! X)

Till I get my next Gundam! See ya!

10 000

Can you believe it! It has already reached 10 000 visitors. X)

Thanks to everyones that's helping me hit the counters. Hehe.


Thank you to my dear readers for reading the occasional rants and those uninteresting posts. It was a nice experience to be writing some silly, some memorable, some hilarious, some cheeky and some totally pink post.


Unfortunately, life has taken me to another road recently and i will not be able to update as often as i would like to. Nor do i have as much things to talk about as I did before. Gosh, i miss those days when i had nothing much to say but made up a bunch of competition between friends.


The next 6 month would be a really hard time to pass by ... It'll be 6 x 20 cups of Milo in the office. Sorta like a counter to tell me how many more days to pass me by until I'll go back to my true agenda.



My very special cup (a paired love shape cup and Caryn has the other) and even more special cup holder (ejectable and water proof).

Everyones wondering whats up with me this few days. This is wats been going on. Half a Gundam more to completion. Two more leg unit, one hip, weapons and 3 hours of sticking decals more to go to completion! I'm loving it. The more time i spend on it, the nicer the cutting. X) Wee ...

10 000 views. That's a lot to me. I'm surprised there are actually people interested in reading this blog. Thank you everyone!! That's a big boost to my self confidence (or ego)!

September 14th 2008

This is yet another random post. It’s just a rant from the deepest shadows of my heart, crying out for another soul. A simple 'hello, how are you' would suffice. It’s definitely not easy to pen down the thoughts within me, nor am I feeling any desire to make this post even an itsy bit more interesting. Like I said, just a rant from a normal teenager (opps, I'm 20) who desperately wants something to happen … be it good or bad.

Here’s a boy who wants nothing more than for another person to catch the flint in my eyes, to acknowledge me with smiles … or just a simple pat on the back. It feels tough to be alone. Having no one to welcome me into the 21 club. I’m making do of what I have, to make myself some happy moments, because no one is around to make it happen for me. In fact, it’s so depressing that I’ve already thought of a gift for myself. Something that I’ve always wanted. You might have it, or you might know another 100 more people that already have it, but that doesn’t make it any less special to me. I once told a friend that I’m trying to cling on to my last bit of childhood. From the day I was born until now, every single toy I’ve ever had were bought by me. PS, PS2, PSP and hand phones. Here’s another 2 more that I hope I’ll be able to add on by the end of this year. After all, all work and no fun is … simply not my way of life.


Portable piano (RM 2000++) ...

... and Gundam Unicorn (RM 224)


Despite the recent loneliness, I guess I'm actually pretty lucky compared to some of them out there. I don’t feel like telling those sad private stories from my workplace. Bottom line is, I’m lucky to have people behind me, supporting and leaning against me (though sometimes really not that obvious). I'm just being a normal human being here, cause ranting occasionally is what we do. Just that i haven't found anyone recently that I could rant to. Heck, I couldn't even find any human being to talk to. So, don't hesitate to ... talk to me. I don't bite! Just need another soul to listen to what i have to say and not continue on explosively about how nice their life overseas are currently. That just makes my heart ache and my hands itch for a human touch. It's not easy living with no aim. Not easy at all ...
