PS2's Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 : Gundam Meisters

Bought this game last Monday if I'm not mistaken... along with 'Spiderman : Web of Shadow' which I haven't touch yet... Must prioritised Gundam first. Hehehehehe...

The DVD Cover... Exactly the same as mine.



Gundam Exia
At first, I try the Exia and game after game I get a hang of how it goes... Exia's nice but the gun is not as powerful as Dynames's Rifle. You need to come closer to the enemy to get into real damaging actions.



Gundam Dynames
The bestest... (Well, I only played Exia and him for now...) Gundam ever. His one shot can kill a single normal enemy. Nice. All of his missions...(which I played till Stage 9-10) I got S Rank, compared to Exia - B, A, S Rank.



Gundam Kyrios

Haven't try him yet as I'm still with Dynames stages...



Gundam Virtue/Nadleeh
Haven't try this either. Can't wait to try those awesome bazooka. :)



The Trans-Arm system are as the same as in the anime, where your unit will go faster and kick ass more. :P

You can also control Trans Arm Exia.

The game follow the story line of the 1st season and have an unique game system - 00 Mode. You need to kill certain numbers of enemies to activade this mode. There will be 8 clock-needle-kinda arrow which looks like Exia's swords once you activated it and you just need to push the buttons according to the arrows directions...

You'll get to see differents attack-cut-scene according to how many hits you've landed.

Movie 1 : 1-19hits
Movie 2 : 20-29hits
Movie 3 : 30-39hits
Movie 4 : 40-49hits
Movie 5 : 50-100hits

100 hits : Infinity

I've maxed out 100 hits using Dynames with Setsuna as Partner. :P

An Art for a Week - Week 6 + Tutorial

Sorry for the late update for whoever kindly enough to read my blog. (Hugs) Actually I've been busy with my second job I talk about in my last post.

This is my arte for the week...

Title : Hip Grampa
Software : Adobe Photoshop CS2
Time to Complete : <2 hours (In 3 days)

Got the idea...well... randomly.... I've shown a friend of my
mine my last artworks and he asks me why I draw a famous character. Why don't I draw my own...? So I was just sketch and sketch and sketch and this one came up. Hehehhehe....

The not so cool Sketch...

Draw back using a new layer...on top of the sketch layer...

Hide the sketch layer...

Start color....In this arte I use 2 color in one layer....as long as the 2 colors didn't met up with each other...

Plain color... Well, this is one hip old man...

In this stage I made a simple BG. Notes : I sucked at making BGs...

Back to the Skin layer again. Make a copy of it.

And set the new layer to 'Multiply'. Notice the differences?

Use a pen tool andselect the area wher you want the skin to be lighter....

Click right mouse button and select 'Make Selection'...

Set the feather to be in any number as you prefered... In my case I set it to 5.

The result...

Make another copy of the last layer and do the same process...

After that, merge the 2 of them. This is to make the file more smaller in size on hard disk.

Do the same to all other colours... And merge them again after you satisfy with the results.

Now to make a Thunder. I use pen tool and do a shape...

Click right mouse button and select 'Fill Path'

Then I mess around with the "Layer Style". You can open the 'Layer Style' by clicking the layer you want to edit.

Here I adjust the 'Stroke' to my liking...

And the 'Outer Glow'....

After that, copy the lightning layer, select all and delete.

Then make a new lightning shape like before...

Make a new layer to adjust how the shadow changes with the interference of the lightning.

Done!!

November's Haul + Strike - Change Presto WIP Pt. 9.5

Although I just babbling about how high the MG Infinite Justice's price on 2 posts before... I went to the trusted hobby shop I always go... Teen@Com after work. There, I saw GN-Arms Type D and I as usual quickly grab it. There's 2 of them so lucky the person who bought after me. :P

For the time being, I'm just saving it for future-gunpla modelling. I find a very interesting side job that would let me work less and gain the salary more than twice from what I earning now. Still in the Interview process... If that's workout, I'll be working like hell on my gunplas!! :P

While at it, the shop attendance 'poison' me with another thing, which is....

Gurren Lagann - Yomako Teacher - 1/8 Scale PVC Figure

He sees me everytime I came to pick up my Gurren Lagann goodies which I bought there, most of it. So he talked me in and I fell for it. And how can I resists Yoko/Yomako resin figure as fine as this. So I preordered it... Hehehe.... Ah, my nosse is bleeding...:3

Strikku Progress

This is how its look right now. A minor update, so I just put it in this post. Took with my lil' bro's camphone. Darn nice than my usual snapshots...

A little close-up.

An Art for a Week - Week 5

I always love how Kira and Lacus shows their love...

Definitely one of the anime couple I like the most.

Title : A Peaceful Evening in Orb
Software : Adobe Photoshop CS2
Time to Complete : <2 hours (In 2 days)

At first, I wanted to draw my blog persona (Yes, the one with Gundam V-Fins) in a real macho world look. I lost the sketch I done at office and draw this instead. Got the idea while desperatly looking something to draw and looked at the 1/144 HG Saviour on the top of my 'piggy bank'. :P. Done rushly and as you can see the results aren't quite satisfying... Gotta spank meself. :P

Infinite Justice Price!!


Looking at the price difference for my Strike Freedom MG(I bought and at a store here) RM 165.90 and at XL-Shop is RM 198.00, so around 30+- price difference...

So for the I. Justice... RM248 - RM30, should be around RM 210-RM220. Man, My wallet's gonna bleed hard again this month....Tsk...
