For the past four months, stuck at work and not being able to have some leisure time to myself, life is hectic handling two jobs at the same time, being a single mom with a kid (Cat!! It's a cat!!) and with the passion of getting back into art again... Yes, it's not a easy thing to juggle. I've been in my moods and stuff, ah well, that's what's life all about.
SAKURA WARS PHOTOSHOOT
April the 16th 2011,
On a beautifully dreadful Saturday rainy morning...
Looks sunny doesn't it? Don't be fooled..
Yes! As you can see we are all having fun with photo shoots and this time about Sakura Wars! It's one of my favourite cosplays really to date, and I've always loved the animation. When I first saw this animation, you will love the storyline, the age it's being used in, and I'm being the main character! Yay!! But the sucky part is, I want to hear the actual voice and in Japanese!! <-----Please click Japanese, it's the real voice actresses on stage!!
As you can see, these shots are from the second installation, or the movie as far as I can recall. (I fail!! I so need to read back again...) Your characters are all there... Most of it and the one and only Ogami. I love Ogami when he stood by Sakura's side through her thick and thin, and apparently fell in love. O.o And so, here goes the days through the shoot.
Time : 8am (yes, I am not kidding...)
Venue : Bukit Jalil Park (And there is Japan, Holand, Thailand, China.... parks)
Here is our dear girl Sumire
(But we love to call her the Sundere.. *Giggles*)
Here's the whole team in the sittings..
We love to bully the main, one and only male character here...
All of us, in character..
Lunch!
Aww.... Sakura and Ogami, but he seems tired??
Come back here Ogami!!!
January 2011,
Back into time... Jan 2010. It was a good time and good year. After CF 2010, blowing RM120 (I don't know what are the conversions into USD... Divide that by 3.2 and you can see how much is spent there..) for the hotel nights, now I'm into some new projects. Let the craziness begins!!
January the 9th 2011,
It's a beautiful morning.. and hot...
After the new year has passed for a few days, a new leaf of life comes, a breath of a new story and married!! (to my job.. Sad to say..) Being a (EPICNESS!! I HAVE SO NO TIME FOR MYSELF TO REST HERE!! HELP ME!!!) graphic designer in freelance, a cosplayer, a manager cum Supervisor, a single mom to a kid (kitten) and a full fledged solo cosplayer, I so need to divide my time properly. Work pulls everyone's time, but do enjoy what you do and take your time. Make sure you keep up to what you are supposed to do first and then move to the next. If you can't keep up and have too much at hand, stop, think, and put down as much or postpone. That is the best advise I must give out to everyone.
This is my second photoshoot actually, after my first one for the Black Lolita - Summer Days (Yes, this is from my FB. I'm so lazy to post the pictures all up since it's from October.. If you want to add me, please leave me a message here and intro! Thanks :P) and this time it's for a music project. It's a mix of characters all together. So what do you know? I'm Luka! There is also a Sheryl Nome in it too, Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji or The Black Butler... Err.... Ah well, we are all having fun together as it is!
The photo shoot is actually for a music video project for a Duran-Duran competition. When I heard the name Duran-Duran, my eyes popped. What's best they asked me to join them into the shoot and yes!! I am in! And so, although we were explained of our roles in the shoot, I am the girlfriend of the handsome mafia.. fella. (I am so bad with words... please forgive me..)
Song : Girl Panic
Artist : Duran-Duran
Plot : ??? (Although I have been briefed of the story here.. I don't seem to remember... Sorry sorry...)
Everyone in the scene...
Tadaa... Luka, and I get mistaken for the Imitation Black version.. Eh??
It's my black Lolita costume from one of my shoots. Teehee..!
My assigned boyfriend in the shoot..
Pffft!!
Dancing with Sheryl Nome...
Sweet sweet Sheryl Nome..
Here's Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji (The Black Butler)
ScreeEEECH!! - What the??
I have taken up a new task, a project until today I am still half way through and struggling from lack of sleep (I can't keep off and sleep at night..) and having some own personal work at hand to work on. Lack of practice... And the biggest proudest thing I have ever done in my entire shopping list, I have finally gotten myself a Wacom Bamboo Fun!! I am so proud...
Tadaa... Isn't he a beauty??
So ever since I got it, I've been on my works and I'm so sorry for being jet lagged at work after that. This beauty has been making me stay up late!! And what have I been working on?? Tadaaaa....
Being a mystique...
Just the outlines...
And the colouring process takes place after that...
And... This is supposed to be a guy. T_T I need more male feature references...
This is a gift to a dear friend who requested me to draw for him..
With a few tricks of photo montage and Photoshop skills... He loves this artwork to death..
Envy me!! I'm in total fantasy...
And I still go on with more works..
And on and on... Till February pours in..
It's February and yes, 13 days till Valentine's Day to get chocolates and stuff... Unfortunately, I'm not one of the lucky girls to get a bouquet of roses or a box of chocolate. Yes!! I declare myself single and available!! But married to my job. Ufufufu... And of course, I wish everyone a lovely Valentine's Day because it is Valentine's Day every day as long you feel loved. Although you are still alone, do realize if there is no one to love, love yourself! You need to stay strong always!
Of course I do have my ups and downs back here. I do have someone although it seems like I am a single woman now because having a distant relationship can be kind of insecure. Although our time zone crosses, but our jobs pulls us apart. I wish he and I could spend as much time together, no thanks to my break up and that silly ex of mine... Ah well, I will have to be much stronger than this, so do you!!
February 19th, Saturday,
It always happen to be a Saturday isn't it?
This time, it's another photo video music video shoot for the same project Duran Duran because the video got rejected some how. Oh no... But here I am, back again but with just my partner and camera man just to do this. Ganbatte ne!!
However, I didn't get much pictures from here, because the cameraman is ever so busy with work, projects with the MAYA program and ghost hunting (seriously?!) and so I could only get a two to three pictures here..
Here is.. Tarzan?!
(And the camera man claims the matted cotton candy is ice cream...)
Blonde and blind.. With the unique view of the lake
He awakens to find a beautiful maiden before him in his slight daze state..
And it ends with a beautiful sunset. This was the best shot taken in the entire scene.

March 2011,
For this entire month I really have to FFK (Fong fey kay or missing in action...) Boss to Aussie throughout the month for a honey moon and my other lady boss and I are the only one to be in the shop to look after the shop. It was a beautiful time and dreadfully tiring too... And then I am taken off my burden with a few more new staff. Thank god!!!
And back to April 2011,
Straight after the SW photo shoot, it was someone's birthday party and yes!! I am so tired!! But the best thing was, I get to roller skate. It's been so long since my feet were on wheels or skates and wheeee.... I get to have some fun!
Before we leave for our destination, camwhore!!!
The birthday Mitchel~
My victim for the night.
It was a good end after that, and I do look forward to more shoots and events in the future. I want to share what cosplaying is like, and as my view as a cosplayer while being a full-time working and illustrator cum graphic designer. There's more to come
And this is "Thank you!" for following my blog!
