» life-sized Hoshino Ruri figure (1/1)

This life-sized Hoshino Ruri figure showed up back in 2006, long before PVC figures became as generally popular as they are now (remember garage kits? :P).  A few years ago, one showed up on Ebay (jp) and i can’t remember what it sold for, but i was kinda suprised to see that you can still get one if you want one.  Looks like it costs about 367,500 yen (a little over $4,000).

Paper Moon also makes a variety of other 1/1 figures, including Haruhi and Saber.  (these figures are more like mannequins, not THOSE kind of ‘life sized dolls’. These links is safe for work.)

(this post is a bit of a follow up to the Pachinko RuriRuri post from earlier.)

PachinkoRuriRuri! Awesome.

Nadesico gets the pachinko treatment. (via Danny Choo)

(I posted this twitter-side last night and forgot that i’m supposed to start trying to use a tublr-like format for such things, so time to get into the habit…)

I did this sketch last night after finishing the dialogue and frame-out for Tuesday’s comic.  I was experimenting with more realistic looking eyes and whatnot.  Didn’t come out too bad.

Is drawing Miho a spoiler for the story?  Hardly.  It’s Miho, now that she’s dead she’s more powerful that we can imagine…

Since i can’t seem to figure out a way to put two images in one post and have it so you can click on both of them, here’s anne’s version :)

A few weeks ago Hawk challenged me and AngryZenMaster to draw Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doing… something.  Hawk wanted to do this for some odd reason, i can’t remember why.  I also can’t remember why i accepted.  I had never  drawn either Batman or the turtles before, so it took a bit of scribbling to come up with something.  By the end of the week, the rough sketch at the top was as far as i got - i thought it’d be amusing to show Batman suddenly realizing that he’s standing on the nose of Gameru, the huge drunken turtle from MT, with the TMNT guys taunting him.

@anniespjs Anne Callaghan (@anniespjs), who does bellacomic.com and (the poor thing) is married to a friend of mine (wombat), offered to ink and color the sketch.  She did a really nice job on it as you can see above.  Thanks Anne!

Mine (without color) was certainly the saddest of the three, as you can see by Hawk’s submission and Jamie’s version.  Still, it was a fun exercise and we should do more of them.

Sorry for not posting all of this sooner, especially to Anne who put a lot of work into her colored version. :)  Next time, guys, we do something radioactively cute so i have a chance of winning :P

Just added the Discus comment system to the tumblr blog here.  Hawk has been using his in some interesting ways, and i while i still want to work systems like this into the new fredart.com site design (something that is starting to look really interesting) it will be a bit before that is up and running, and i need a test bed of sorts to start experimenting with some content sharing, so… tubmlr is one place i can experiment with it.

I’ve been kicking the tires of posterous in the past week or so, but i just cant get away from the fact that it’s kind of a pain to post to it, given the way i usually post thing - tumblr has much better media posting tools, therefore i’m giving tumblr another, er, tumbl. ^^;;

One problem i had with tumblr is the look and feel of it, i really didnt like any of the standard themes, so i went poking around for something different.  Currently im using a really nice theme called ProWhite, which i’ll work with for a bit till i decide if i want to modify it more.
