A very Happy Valentine's Day everyone~^_^

Its Valentine's Day today~
How is everyone feeling?
For some it is a meaningful day to spend with a loved ones or friends and for others its just another day. What is it for you?~

Yu's bright pink foil dress gallery has been opened to mark Valentine's Day 2009, as promised ^^ I initially took pictures in the pinf foil dress just for fun. Turns out that its just nice an attire to open a gallery on Valentine's day. Its only a small gallery, I hope you don't mind.

There are s few new things I wore to take this shoot.
Firstly, the zentai is new. I dyed it to a fresh new light peach tone. It will be the same colour and texture for the ones I ship with my masks to anyone who buys them~^_^
I got the person whom I always bought zentai from to send me a few small pieces of zentai material so that I can feel each one. I think this is the closest and most suitable for mimicking painted flash tone for anime characters~

Well the second new thing I experimented with is the bustline technique. I tried to improve it a little more... what do you think about it~hmm. Hehe... even though its a new method, lets not dwell on this topic.

Then, the pink foil dress is new too. New foil attires are so nice to wear and they look so shiny~ Its almost like wearing liquid metal hehe :P
The sheen is always the nicest before the attire gets aged and the foil matter starts falling off. And best of all, the dress is tight and figure hugging ^^
The dress came in a complete set, socks gloves and a halter neck dress skirt. One of my favourite simple costume yet... probably would be using these pretty often on live since its so easy to put on~

Hope everyone enjoys the gallery.
Do write and chat in the forums. The new mask is almost about done. I can't wait to see how its going to turn out. Actually, I'm not sure if I still prefer closed mouth masks or smiling mouth ones... hmm

My Silky Love~

Hehe, how have you been, can anyone recognise the significance of the title of this post? Well If you do, check the answer at the bottom of this thread~^_^
Valentine's Day is just 3 more days to go, have you got your plans all set?
Mine are much prepared hehe... hope it turns out fantastic for everyone~

I've got a few decorated pictures here which I'll be adding to the "soon to be opened" gallery~^_^
Yu as a pink valentine's gallery will be opened on the 14th Feb to mark Valentine's day this year~^_^
I'll talk about the costume when that time comes.
Here I've posted some of the pics...
It has just been past the full 15 days of the Chinese Lunar New Year.
I've been fully occupied during this time... visiting and reuniting with relatives and friends.
What have you been up to lately?
I saw that slowly one by one mask makers are contributing their mask making attempts in the gallery. Did those of you who wanted to make a mask made use of the holidays in the recent time effectively? hehe~ Just curious.



Talking about mask making, I've just lacquered the sculpted headform tonight.
Phew~ >_<... the hardest part of making any mask is always the sculpting and the sanding and lacquering of the sculpture. Once its perfected then the rest is alot relaxing. The headform this time use about 12 packets of 1kg blocks of clay. Carrying it around and rotating it on my laps when sanding it does make me work out... and the dust... >_<
Then the clay used this time is fibrous... fuzzy after sanding.
The lacquering took a while to get done since after every coat, the hairs from the fibers stood up -___-
Oh well, anyway its so far so good...
Oh yar... please visit the thread in the forums to look at the progress so far~^_^
I'll be working each stage closely so speed things up a little... don't forget to tell me your comments~^_^

Before I forget... "My Silky Love~" Toradora second opening song...~ You gotta watch~^_^
Thank you for patiently waiting for my updates~
Have a great week ahead ~^_^

Happy Lunar New year~^_^ New gallery opened

If you're Chinese today will be a very special day for you. Not only Chinese I suppose, anyone who uses the Lunar calendar, today would be a new year~^_^
Wishing everyone a very Happy Lunar New Year and a fantastic year ahead.
I've taken a photoshoot in a fair chinese attire which is the gold cheongsam debut a couple of months ago. Oh please check out the new skin toned zentai I have, its more matt and more correct skin toned than any previous one so far.

I always thought that C.C. was portrayed to be somewhat of chinese origin. Especially in the first season when she met "The person whose geass was to read minds", it was in china and she was in a chinese dress too. But then in the second season, we learnt that she has been almost everywhere and that is just a part of her long immortal life. Some how, maybe its the green hair or the straight hair fringes which always gave me the impression that C.C. is very asian. Then again her real name is not really that of one... who knows, could be a change in idea by the writer at some point in time hehe~^^ Well, here is how C.C. would look like in a cheongsam I suppose. Maybe I'll make her wear my pink cheongsam another day~^_^

I also compiled the gallery from the previous mini shoot of Yu in the PVC skin toned suit. That was a really fun experience and the PVC gave the skin a more plasticky gloss than the normal cloth suits.

I haven't done many shoots in the PVC skin toned suit. And it is harder to do tight fitting and cleavage revealing costumes in the PVC suit. Nevertheless, i would try to do more shoots in that glossy suit in the future. Does anyone have any preferenaces? ^_^

Don't forget to drop by the gallery. Once again. wishing everyone a wonderful year ahead.

Trying something new~

I'm trying something new on my website. I've implemented an auto updating links page... a very rough one... not even sure if it will work properly :p... hope so.
So if any of you did drop by that page, please help me look out for problems or anything unexpected which you spotted.
I'm still fine tuning it and haven't been really sure how to set things prefect yet.

Its that time of the year again, Lunar New Year is approaching, perhaps many would know it as Spring Festival. The thing is, I'm pretty much in that mood too and haven't got much spare mood to spend on putting up the gallery pics >_<... I've taken another small shoot in a tight fitting metallic pink one piece skirt and blouse but I reckon it will be a while longer before I put up all the pictures I took into a new gallery. But I'm making sure that there are updates at least once per 1 or 2 weeks... >_<... during this eventful and busy period. Do chat in the forums and join the discussion, doing that doesn't take long periods of time for me so I usually participate there frequently ^__^
If anyone is interested in making a mask or commissioning one, there is the place to start~

Oh the former poll on which monitor screen size is the most popular has ended for a while, looks like the winner is still the 1024 x 768 range. Hmm is anyone bought a new computer in the the recent 1 year or so, the monitors would no longer have that resolution. So web builders, do take note of the results from that poll~^_^
I've started a new one, just to keep the space occupied (well not really).
Just a miscellaneous question about which character do you favour most from those which I cosplayed before. Please give me your feedback~<3<3<3

Post Numero Uno 2009~^_^

Hi to everyone for the first time in 2009~^_^
How has everyone been these couple of weeks?
I was on a short trip away so I didn't get a chance to post or talk much these few days.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.

I would be semi active (well ought to still be active enough) until about March. I'll still be around to chat with you all the time so don't make me feel too lonely okie ~>_<; I promise I'll put new updates more and more and mORE~ often ^^; lol

You didn't thought that the image on the left on my site is me did you?

hehe, well I wish it were too but I suppose I am playing a different anime character to the figurine on the left altogether.

Anyway, how much do I look similiar to the figurine on the left lol... ignoring the differences in colour and person. The figurine is that of Sumeragi Lee Noriega from Gundam 00 (pronounced as Gundam Double "O") I think she's probably one of my favourite character in the show, and probably Feldt too~^_^.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, do go and watch Gundam 00. Don't belittle it, its the show which topped Code Geass's ratings which not many expected. (Season two of Gundam 00 topped the previous top ranking Code Geass Season 2 TV series, phew and I totally can understand why).

Nope, I'm not trying to cosplay as Sumeragi san, just a little "play" on my end... the figurine is just a coincidence.

I wish I had a body and figure like that...lol~>_< Most of them which I picked up are Gundam girls... hmm wanted to get Asuka as well but I didn't find a good looking one of her (and affordable)~

I got Meer Campbell and a coupld of Lacus Clynes... Meer is my fav Gunam SEED girl. And the rest are Louise Halevy, Nena Trinity and yeap Sumeragi Lee Noriega (wat a cool name) lol...

How I wish I could cosplay as them in those costumes one by one, but I guess that will not happen... Hmm wait I did the Meer Campbell's performe attire... guess thats abt it~^_^
Stay tuned here ok? I'll pop the gallery for this attire soon~
Anyone fill me in with any exciting happenings while I was away? ^_^
