Eureka Seven Movie Screening Nationwide on Sept 24th

    NCM Fathom and Bandai Entertainment will be screening the English dubbed Eureka Seven - good night, sleep tight, young lovers movie in theatres nationwide for one night only on Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 7:30 p.m.

    Click here for a list of participating theatres.



    This isn't one of those playtime screenings folks, they are showing this in a crapload of locations. Go see it if you can!

    Synopses: This is another version of the story of Renton and Eureka. For almost half a century, mankind has battled a mysterious organism from space called “EIZO.” In 2054, there is a young soldier on board the fighter aircraft commanded by Holland, GEKKO, of the renegade group GEKKOSTATE, who is battling EIZO. The young soldier’s name is Renton. He boards Nirvash and heads for the battlefield. He has only one dream: to rescue his childhood friend, Eureka, who was kidnapped eight years ago and return to his hometown. Fate, however, brings tribulations to test the young love between Renton and Eureka --mission and emotion, truth and lie, past and future, life and death, reality and dream and even Holland – the entire world stand in the way of the two as the final battle with EIZO approaches...

A Novel Approach...

    CNN reports:

    'Investigators in Colorado say they have broken up a massive methamphetamine ring in the Denver area that distributed pounds of the dangerous drug every week and laundered the profits using collectible comic books.

    While arresting the alleged ringleaders, brothers Aaron and Alfonzo Castro, law enforcement officers seized about 100 boxes of first-edition collectible comic books. Investigators say one title alone is worth $3,500 and the total collection of comics is worth half a million dollars.

    "It appeared they were working on a start-up company for high-end comic books," said Don Quick, the district attorney in Adams County near Denver.

    Quick said the seized comic books included some first-edition Superman and Batman titles. The fragile, vintage comics were stored in plastic bags for protection.'


    Tam says it's probably the "Worst Dope Smuggling Plan. Evar":

    "The case was broken open when a detective noticed Jeremy Blascowicz grinding his teeth, constantly tugging at his neck beard, and talking at a high rate of speed for three hours straight about why Secret Wars was, like, a million billion times better than Crisis on Infinite Earths."

    At least it wasn't first edition Saint Marie and Harukaze Bitter Bop manga volumes... HEH.

Digital Art technique assign color to gray scale values

    Digital Art technique assign color to gray scale values.

    So here is a process update step by step from the last post. In this post, I cleaned up the values on over all figure and give it more light source to the character design. At this stage, I will try to get a clear visual image in big shapes. The tricky part is not to get overly detail too soon on the design, just laying out big shape like underpainting.

    Another things to remember at this stage also, when painting, try to stay in the middle range of gray between 30-70, no more, no less.

    I am still trying to figure the design out and light source at the same time. But the priority is light source, you will have to try to get it as accurate as possible. Then the design comes after, only if when you are doing a model sheet that you reveal every single detail of the character. As for illustration concept, whatever is in the shadow stay in the shadow. You can show off the detail only in the light. It's tricky and challenging to do. Every time I paint something nowadays, I will try to challenge myself to see if I can push it to the next level from the previous. It doesn't happen every single time, but I usually learn a lot from mistakes.

    I also change the post so that it will give the guy more personality.
    When apply color using "overlay" layer, do it in the early or mid stage. Make sure the value range of the color you choose stay in middle range (40-60) otherwise it will drastically change your initial gray scale values. And that could throw everything off.

    Since there is no video tutorial for this one yet, you can go check out these short video tutorials in the mean time Drawing arm muscles bicep tricep is a good one to see and Drawing body muscle torso anatomy will show you how I draw and render chest area.

    But if you are here to see I draw girls then my recent tutorial previous study Figure Study female form step by step, but for more basic go read How to draw female body torso step by step. It shows the easy way to construct a body in the simple way for beginner. Then how to draw woman figure hip pelvis which shows the simple way to draw pelvis and the lower parts of the body. As for the face or head (women, female) Draw girl's face how to lesson video and step by step and learn how to draw face, woman These two are not on the thumbnails above and might be hard to find. Still could be valuable for some people. I did over two years ago, but solid.

    speed painting tutorial, digital painting

    Flipped and then work again from here to fix all the proportion and angle.
    digital painting character design tutorial
    Another 40 minutes in and to be continued.

    Thanks for all the comment guys :)

Rozen Maiden Season 1 Out of Print for Awhile

    Funi has informed us that they are now out of stock and no longer shipping the first season Rozen Maiden Thin-Pak (GN-08440). It will not be repressed, so the sets are now limited to the stock we have left on hand. Just a note, because if you have it on backorder with someone else, like someone who was offering it a week ago for a really low price but didn't have any in stock, you're unlikely to ever get that order filled.

    I made an inquiry to Funi about the future status of the series, and they told me that the box will be re-released either late this year or early next year (probably as a Viridian label), but the time and date has not yet been decided.

    So while it will be coming back in the near future, it may or may not be available over holiday season this year. Something to think about if you were planning on giving either the first season or Traumend as gift this year. :-)

TMP Anime Decides to Pack It Up

    Twin Moons Anime (TMP) has decided to pack it up and exit the business for now. Tamim (the owner) cites the terrible economy on his blog:
    "I know that many of you have noticed that the Twin Moons Anime web site hasn’t been updated in some time and have been wondering whether we’re still in business. Well, the sad truth is that I’m currently in the process of slowly closing down the store due to the horrible economy.

    Twin Moons Anime has always been a labor of love for me and never my full-time job due to the fact that it was barely making any money. It was just doing enough to pay for my own collecting addiction. Unfortunately when the economy fully went south last year, I really felt the hit with the store. Sales just started plummeting and I was forced to focus more on my consulting business to pay my bills. It was becoming very obvious that I simply couldn’t run the store with the level of service that I would like to provide to my customers.

    I want to thank each and every one you who have supported me over the years. It has been an absolute pleasure serving you guys and I’m so very glad to have met some of you in person. I really hope that we will be keeping in touch."
    Tamim focused mostly on the figure and toy side of the business, and he did a lot of business on the convention circuit (which is expensive, extremely time consuming, and not 'necessarily' very profitable). Even though we were competitors per say, I always liked and admired him and his business and felt like he ran a class 'A' shop (unlike so many others out there). Him and I had talked a little bit via back in May about the Anime economy, the future of the R1 industry, and such and he had told me then that he was planning to close up the shop after Anime Expo . I probably understand better than most the effort and sacrifice required to carve out a living in this industry, and I can say that Tamim will be missed, especially as RACS soldiers on.

    I wish you the best of luck my friend. Take care, and keep up the faith. :-)

Monster Coming in October - But Only on TV for Now...

    The Monster anime series will begin airing on Syfy’s (formerly SciFi) Ani-Monday block on October 12th. Each episode will be re-broadcast the week after on Chiller (Syfy’s sister channel).

    The TV license belongs to Manga Entertainment, which in turn belongs to Starz Media, which in turn belongs to Sony (it's a rich tapestry), but Viz has the home video rights, so as far as a DVD release for the series is concerned? Nothing concrete for now. There was a prior announcement that it will be out in December, but it's not currently showing up on any of my sheets. Setup the TiVO for now.

    The Monster manga by Naoki Urasawa is available here.

    (Oh, and Macross Plus will be airing on October 26th. Now you can't go wrong there!)

    Synopsis: Kenzou Tenma, a Japanese brain surgeon in Germany, had it all: incredible skill at his work, a rich and beautiful fiancee, and a promising career at his hospital. However, after becoming disenchanted by hospital politics, he chose to save the life of a young boy who got shot in the head over the life of the mayor. As a result he lost the support of the hospital director, as well as his position in the hospital and his fiance. A short time later, the hospital director and the doctors that replaced him were murdered, and once again he was catapulted back onto the top. But as the chief suspect of the murders, Tenma did not get a easy life. As a matter of fact, it seems that the boy he saved was much more than he had appeared to be... Now to clear his name and to correct his past mistake, Tenma must get to the bottom of these and other murders, and investigate the truth of the Monster who is behind all of this.

Mahoromatic: Tadaima Okaeri OVA Announced (In Japan)

    A two part Mahoromatic television special edition has been scheduled to premiere on the BS-TBS satellite and cable channel on October 17 and 24 in Japan with the official title Mahoromatic: Tadaima Okaeri.

    ANN reports that Shouji Saeki is returning from the Mahoromatic: Summer Special to direct this new work at the Gainax anime studio, and Kazuhiro Takamura is returning from every previous Mahoromatic anime project to design the characters and oversee the animation production. Also reprising their roles are most of the cast members and the musical composer Toshio Masuda. Tatsuhiko Urahata is writing the scripts based on Bow Ditama and Bunjuro Nakayama's original Mahoromatic manga.

    Now the question is, if and when we will get this over here in the US? I haven't a clue at this time, but with the DVD and BluRay scheduled for release in Japan in late December, it wouldn't be earlier than maybe next summer. The official Japanese website for the new production has been posted here.

    More 'multi-purpose' combat maids are always welcome here...

Another Lady Innocent

    Steven Den Beste has recently discovered just how beautiful the art is in the 'H' title Another Lady Innocent:

    "Urushihara Satoshi's drawing style is unmistakable. No one draws gorgeous women better than him"

    "The art and animation in this are fantastic. It looks better than any broadcast show. I swear, it must have had a huge budget, which is really rare when it comes to hentai. I can only assume that Urushihara's reputation was the reason the production company was willing to put so much money into it."
    Steven has lots of nice frame grabs over on his blog (NSFW warning). It's actually a 'nice' H title too, one of those rare ones that you and Mrs. can actually 'safely' watch together. :-) Don't expect much from the plot (it's really a 40 minute short exhibition of fine art rather than any sort of coherent story line), but if you are a fan of Urushihara's art work and have let this titles slip under your radar for the last few years, you should really think about picking up a copy.

    I think we should look back into bringing some of Urushihara's art collections back into stock if possible. In the past, they have always sold out almost as fast as we could get them in, but we do currently have one still in stock here for those of you who would like to sample his other works.

Got In On the 'Clunkers' Deal Just In Time

    We had an old 95 Chevy Tahoe that I've owned for 14 years that we used as a company work vehicle, mostly for our mail pickups. It had 109,000 miles, and while it started and ran great, almost nothing else still worked. Electric seats - dead, A/C - dead, 4WD - dead. Not fun to drive in the summer heat, but none of these problems were fixable unless we wanted to spend more than the truck was worth (which I figure was maybe $500). It would have needed brakes and tires soon, it cost a lot to insure, and it got really shitty gas mileage (like 13mpg) which is why it was relegated to nothing but short trips. We've been knocking around the idea of getting a new 'company vehicle', something that is a lot smaller and has a better carbon footprint, and the cash for clunkers program created an irresistible opportunity, so Thursday evening we took the old Tahoe to Dulles Kia and traded it in for this:



    It's a 2010 Kia Soul Special Edition Denim color with the 2.0 engine and the white racing stripe. It gets 30mpg, has a sunroof, A/C, Auto, fog lights, 18" Wheels, a spoiler (for what I have no idea), the upgraded sound system, a fairly big cargo compartment (for such a small car) and comes with 4 punk hamsters to drive it around. After the $4,500 clunkers trade in credit, the total cost of this vehicle out the door INCLUDING all fees, taxes, and tags was $14,835. I don't think we could have done any better than that.

    We're thinking about turning it into an Itashi. :-)


    By the way, the clunkers program will end on Monday.

Helping a Fellow Figure Collector

    A fellow Anime fan Keith and I have been talking a bit over the last few days, and he has a problem we have not been able to help him with, so I asked him to send me a blurb that I could post here in case anyone out there might be able to help him out.

    From Keith:

    "About 7 weeks ago the unimaginable happened to my 14 year old nephew and his mother (my sister). They had gone to the movies and dinner like they routinely did every Saturday but when they came home they were greeted by an unpleasant surprise. Evidently while they were out their home caught fire destroying a good part of their house and way of life. Luis lost the majority of his anime figurine collection along with wall scrolls and many other items from his beloved collection. His DVD collection was spared along with a couple of his figures but more importantly he lost several key items in his collection that I am finding near impossible to replace. The main one in particular was his Ryoko Asakura Bunny by FREEing. It was the pride and joy of his collection and now it is gone. My new mission is to try and replace it for him before his birthday which is in the last part of September. Anime is this boy's life and his escape and he has managed to inspire me to collect and adore anime as well. Without having a father figure present I took it upon myself to try and fill that void as his uncle. What I am asking for is some help locating this figure for a reasonable price. I have managed to replace the majority of his collection with the exception of Ryoko and his Lelouch Figma figures but it was Ryoko that was/is his favorite. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening and God bless."

    Keith works for the Winston-Salem Police Department in NC and is a great guy. If you can help him help and his nephew, or know anyone who might be able to, please contact him directly via e-mail. The figure he is looking for is pictured below, JAN code 4571245290182.

First Code Geass R2 Bundle is Seven Episodes - Not Nine

    Just a quick post to confirm what everyone has been asking all day via e-mail. The first Code Geass R2 bundle is indeed 7 episodes and 175 Minutes, not 9 episodes and 225 minutes as it was originally solicited. They totally slipped this past us under the radar, so I apologize that we did not have the correct stats and episode counts listed on the site until last night.

    In response to this discrepancy, Bandai says that the DVD info included in the original solicitation mailer sent out to retailers was incorrect. R2 is going to be released as four parts (probably 7 ,6 ,6, and 6 eps) , not three (9, 8, and 8 eps) as was originally planned. The first DVD bundle contains seven episodes, and the subsequent parts will have six episodes each. Bandai does, however, "apologize for the initial information regarding Part 1 being incorrect in the mailer”, and did make it clear that their solicitation mailers state 'all specifications are subject to change without notice'.

    And so they did. They do love surprises over there. :-)

    Update: I'd also like to note that the most recent mailer (that Bandai sent us last week) for their October releases indicates that the 2nd Code Geass R2DVD bundle will be 225 minutes (9 eps), however, this is incorrect, it will actually be 6 episodes and 150 minutes.

The Executioner concept art small update on armor

    The Executioner concept art small update on armor detail and more overall metal render stuff.
    Yeah, I took cool advice from some other artist that sometimes if you work on only one piece all the time you will get bored. So if you can, you should work on a few images at time so you get fresh eyes and idea whenever you go back to the previous one. Once you get bore with the current concept or illustration work, go work on couple of new ones, then go back and forth.

    Anyway, I will write some more content when I have sometimes, will be back.

Digital art sketch of a female pilot concept

    Digital art sketch of a female pilot concept. Some random sketch I did for fun.

    First of all, it's been a while. I kind of take some time away and think of what I could do more for this blog that would benefit fellow artists more.
    Thanks for all comments and e-mails (again) really appreciate them. Apologize for some that I still did not get to answer, I have been really busy but I am trying to get to them all. Usually I get the blog comment first. :)
    Anyway, apart from making art tutorials, there are many questions from many young artists who wants to make a career out of what they love. So I have been thinking that I should very soon post more information on how to break in or basically how to earn a living from doing art work. As you know, I often post job opportunities on my TWITTER feed. So I think that will be a great additional valuable information to this blog. I will come up with more.
    And of course I will still be doing tutorials along with it, but I just want this blog to be more valuable than what it's already is. Because it only make sense that once you get to learn how to draw and paint good, then what's next? Do you sit around with it? What can you do with it? I will try my best to fill you in.

    Anywho...here is a sketch out of boredom. I haven't touch the previous executioner in a while...so I will leave that to faith whether I would finish that one or not...possibly. :)
    Here is a girl sketch since it's been a while. Still unfinished and not refine...just one of those killing time and practice doodle.

    sketch, drawing, art, digital painting, female

    If any of you remember, it's basically an adaptation of the previous quick sketch tutorial I did a while back. I know...it looks almost nothing alike.

    And if you have never seen the sketch video of this one, check it out below.
