Dear Chibi,

Yesterday I did some room cleaning and rearranged my desk~ I decided to put all my little Sailor Moon goodies together to make a little corner for it :D

Dear Chibi,

Look what finally arrived in the mail~ Chibiusa’s Time Key! :D

Isn’t that cute? I was really happy with the Crisis Moon Compact Necklace I bought from Kumacrafts a few months ago and when the ‘Time Key’ popped up I knew I had to get it! To be honest, I would have liked it better if the key itself was a bit smaller (to match the size of the actual time key)~ it’s kinda massive and looks bigger than my Crisis Moon Compact ^^; On the other hand, Kaz ordered Sailor Mercury’s Star Henshin Wand, and it’s soo adorable because it’s so small XD! Great detail on that one too :3

Not long after I ordered these, Kumacrafts announced a new Star Locket necklace is in the making, and OMG its pretty. She’s gonna make me broke, halp… ;_;

For now, I think I’ll just go and travel to the future, teehee~

Dear Chibi,

Yaaay! After waiting for about a month, I finally received my very own Crisis Moon Compact necklace created by the talented KumaCrafts! This is based on Sailor Moon’s Super S henshin compact from the 4th season. It’s sooo adorable and pretty and shiny! I’m really happy with it.

Now I’m having second thoughts about wearing it… what if I accidentally damage it? D: Guess we’ll see ^^;

Dear Chibi,

On the night of 6th July 2012, I heard one of the most exciting news of my life: A brand new Sailor Moon anime is being released next year world-wide. It is a complete reboot of the series and will be based on Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon manga and targeted at older fans.

I have never been so happy about a release.
I couldn’t sleep that night.
I was so so excited and giggly for the next several days.
Chibi can die happy :D (After she finishes the series!)

I decided to write this blog entry (although over a week late) to mark this occasion. I want to remember this feeling forever :)

Twitter went nuts that night. “Sailor Moon” was also trending on twitter and news spread like fire :D It was such an amazing feeling to be able to share with other fans :D

Today I finally finished a “new” painting of Chinese actress Liu Yi Fei! Technically it’s not a new drawing since I reworked an existing piece I did four years ago. It looks pretty different though :) You can see the older versions here: Part 1, Part 2.

I’m really happy with how this turned out :) I had a lot of fun painting her face and skin. Blending skin tones used to be what I feared the most, but now that I’ve grasped the basic technique, it’s not as scary. It just requires a lot of patience and lots of brushing!

Her hair, accessories and dress do still look a little rough… I probably should have cleaned it up more but after spending so many hours on the face, it wasn’t too exciting XD (That net was pain to draw…it’s still actually my first rough line art..) Hopefully it doesn’t bring down the picture too much :)

Work In Progress:

Dear Chibi,

So I finally decided to get my hands on the much talked about Diablo III. Resistance is futile! Even Chibi is playing it! ahhh! Don’t worry Starcraft, I still love you :)

Dear Chibi,

As some of you may know, I love Starcraft 2, a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. I’ve previously posted several blog entries related to my experiences on the ladder. I don’t consider myself a “gamer”, as I don’t play video games all that much. However, Starcraft 2 is a bit of an exception. I know, that sounds weird considering it’s one of the most difficult and competitive video games out there. Many players feel frustrated and their fear of losing deters them from the game entirely. If you lose, you have no one to blame but yourself. It can make you feel pretty bad, and why play a stressful game that makes you feel horrible when games are supposed to be fun? The match-making system also pits you against other players of similar skill level, so you will lose about 50% of the games. It is inevitable.
