Happy Holidays!

So a lot has happened since my last update on my site, or at least as far as the front page goes.

First off, I wanted to update more, but my computer got stolen so all the info and everything I had on there is gone. So that really set me back.

Recently, I got really ill with multiple sicknesses. First I had a bad stomach bug, then a really nasty cold, then tonsillitis; which caused me to pass out. All of that happened within about a month and a half; so I pretty much lived in my bed for that time. My health has been really shotty lately... which really sucks, cause I'm not usually sick. I actually only usually get sick about once or twice a year with a minor cold. So this year end, has really sucked for me.
And that obviously really set me back on commissions and my original plan to re-open up for commissions in back in November.

But, there's only one commission left atm and that should be finished up soonish, probably after the holidays; due to family and friends commitments and the set back of my health.
And so after that's done, I'll re-open for (costume) commissions early 2010.
Please note, that when commissions are open again, I will ONLY be accepting 3 fursuit partials, 1 full fursuit, and 3 cosplay (anime or game) until noted otherwise.
Chances are, if you're asking for something I've already done or is stupid hard, I won't do it.

And recent addition to all my commissions, I will be now accepting 3D projects, such as personal sculpt/figures too.
That info will be added on it's own new page under the 'Art' section.
Read up on more info for that.

I hope to have the whole site updated within the new few weeks (with the help of my awesome webmaster).
So the Cosplay page will probably be getting the most amount of updating: profile pages for each of my costumes for when you click on the thumbnail on the main page, as well as update on past commissions page.
There's been an update on the 'Events' page under 'About'.
There may also be some slight updates with the look of the site, we'll see ;)

Anyways, yeah so that's it for updates! Hope everyone has a Happy and safe Holiday, and Happy New Year too! See you all in 2010!!

Oh Noes!

Never thought I'd happen to me...

I never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought we'd get robbed. I've heard of other people have this unfortunate thing happen to them, but I never thought to us.

We come home today around 5pm and I go to my room to see my VAIO laptop gone. My sister checks to see her's gone, along with my moms. It seems they gone in through my sister's window, which was open just a couple inches; they pried off the screen and came in through there. Our 3 dogs were home, but it's evident they didn't do anything, nor were they hurt, thankfully. It seems like they're just too nice and the thief didn't think they were a threat.

I am really really angry and upset this has happened. I love my computer almost as much as I love my dog. I have a LOT of important files on there, along with a lot of photos and memories. Not to mention all the sites I'm on and such, the password is autosave. I managed to change most of my passwords, but still. And although my VAIO is password protected and I have faith in the police, I really doubt I'll see my beloved VAIO again.

This really frickin' blows...

I got featured on *4* news articles!!

So I was wondering why my email has been exploding with "You have a new youtube subcriber". Normally I get like 1-2 every few days, IF that, maybe if I upload like 8 new vids, but never 8 (and still going) in one day.

07/12/09: I post regularly on the Gaming Union Forums (http://www.gamingunion.net/forums/index.php)(and the MyResistance.net) on the update on my in-progress photos for my Resistance 2 chimera costume and gun, and I had recently just finished it.
To my shock, it was posted on the GU news: http://www.gamingunion.net/news/amazing-resistance-2-marksman-recreated-by-fan--235.html
I was so shocked and speechless!! I've never had anything like this happen before!! I'm so happy!!!
Then later, I get a post on the MyResistance.net forums, someone saying it got posted on N4G, and it did!! http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-359736.aspx

*edit 07/13/09: AGAIN (on Slashgear.com)!! OH MY GOSH THANK YOU!! http://www.slashgear.com/resistance-2-fan-built-marksman-rifle-1349172/#more-49172 
And someone has also email asking if I wanted to do a Q&A so they can put me in their magazine!!!

OH SNAP!! ANOTHER!?!??!??
http://kotaku.com/5313102/resistance-fan-gets-crafty-builds-resistance-rifle

(I found out about that last one because Insomniac Games themselves posted it on their Twitter!!)

Excuse me while I go jump out in front of a car... Because if I were to die right now, I'd die a very happy person.*

WOW! Just WOW~!! I never, in my wildest dreams, would have expected this!!! I'm really truly honoured!!

And that is also why my youtube has exploded with new subcriptions. Someone (on the N4G news) posted my youtube link and people have been going from there. That's really really cool.

Thank you so much to everyone!!!! <3 <3 <3












On a related note:
If you wanna vote for which gun you wanna see made next- (copied from my fb)
So after the Marksman gun and how well it's turning out, I wanna make other weapons from R2 for my chimera/shits and giggles. Which one should I make next?
(If you don't know what they look like, you can either vote by how cool the name sounds, or actuall not be a lazy bastard and go google it. Just googles 'Resistance 2 *name of gun*')

LAARK
Auger
Bullseye Mark II
Wraith
Fareye
Pulse Cannon

I'm only listing those one cause those ones are my fav. Chances are I'll probably end up making all of those, but which one should I do after the Marksman (probably won't start on it til after early August, because I have other commissions I need to work on)

I'll edit this message with a talleying system. Voting ends August 15th, cause that's probably when I'll have time to start making it.

*edit: you can vote for two choices*

Oh Noes!

'Nikolaev' the Chimera

Here is the final sculpt of my Chimera (from Resistance 2) costume. I'm happy about the eyes; annoyed I have to do them 4 more times. XD
btw, More texture is OBVIOUSLY going to be added, need to get the basis down first.

I'm naming my generic foot soldier, Nikolaev. (Nick-co-lay-ve)
If you don't know what a Chimera (from Resistance 2) is, google it. They're sweet.

Click here to view head


Just a close up shot of the re-done Nikolaev skin. It was smooth before, but I redid all the skin to make it sort of more realistic and yeah... Sort looks like elephant skin, which is fine. Because I'm sure the Chimera didn't use lotion everyday to keep their skin silky soft!
Click here to view skin detail

Click here to view a quick video of the head (before it was ruined)

I've recent play with alginate on it, and it killed Nikolaev... I managed to save the head and most of the neck, but due to fast drying and the alginate, the shoulders are ruined. I fixed them second, I am not fixing them a 3rd time. I didn't really need them, would have been nice to have that extra bit of support of the mask under the armor so that the mask would ride up. Oh well, I'll fix all of that out later. So this time, I'm going to stick with my rubber latex for making a mold of it.

IDK?

Need help picking out a name...

For my Chimera costume (from Resistance 2)
For those of you who don't know what a Chimera looks like, here: [url]http://files.playstatic.com/ps3/resistance-2/resistance-2-hiresscreenshots5.jpg[/url]
Like Fallout said, "instead of giving hugs to the little kids, you're gonna scare the shit out of them" I sure am!! MUAHAHA

Anyways, reason why I wanted a name for this generic solider chimera costume is cause it's a generic mutated soldier... I dunno, I think it's just better to give this generic a name.

So I've narrowed it down to 4 names:
Zaethys, Kohkhlov, Nikolaev, and Zakharov

I'm just gonna keep asking people opinion until I go fond of one really, or if people somehow convince me one name is better than the other. Right now, I'm leaning towards Nikolaev... It's 'cute', easy to remember, easy to SPELL, and yeah.... sounds cool.

Finished Ammy!

Here's my Amateratsu suit!! Thought I'd share the uber fuzziness!!
Actually, she was finished about like 3-4ish weeks ago, I was just lazy in posting pics/vids.

And I'm still too lazy to post pictures (here at least, cause I have to re-size, have two different sized files, them do an html link, etc etc, and most importantly, I'm lazy! :3 ).
But there are some pictures on my DA account though!  and on my FA account

Here's some short videos taken of her on her very first test run/outing on April 18th and a couple (I think at least one) of her at CCEE (Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo on April 25-26th):

Smile!

Come and gone

So CCEE has come and gone, and I am beat. But at the same time it was wicked awesome fun. I was suiting with Ammy for about 6 hours on saturday, and just briefly on sunday (as I was actually at my own table sunday while my friends went out and got some much deserved fun). Ammy won her first award!! She won Best in Women's Catogory! ^^ So awesome! I got this personalize glass trophy!! Only crappy thing about it.. They spelt my name wrong!! D: TT^TT Oh well, it's still really really sweet. I'll take pictures and post them up later.
It was also awesome to meet a bunch of new people this weekend.

If you want to see lots of pictures of Ammy, add me on facebook or something. I spam on facebook like you would not believe.

Oh, if you've taken any pictures/videos of Ammy, I would love to see them!! If you could either email or tag me (in facebook), I would really much appreciate it. Hard thing with a fursuit, it's hard to see what you look like!


-Several new items have been added to the Store, mostly pre-orders for the awesome bookmarks I ordered (and should be here shortly) I will also be added pictures for them within the next day or so. I just woke up from a nap and don't really feel like editting pictures.
-Ammy will be doing another outing on May 2nd at the Eau Claire Market area from 1-4 pm, come visit her!
-Check out my youtube as some new funny videos and some videos taken of Ammy have been added!
-Some friend's website links have been added to the About page. (If you wish you have your page linked here, send me an email with your url. I just only ask that you link me as well on your site. :3 )

Amateratsu

HERE'S AMMY!!

Actually... I'm too lazy to post the pics here.... Cause I would mean I have to upload to PB twice, then post here, etc etc. So I'm linking my cosplay DA account, in which I have uploading my fav pics that were taken today at the Otafest Pormotion thing-the thing where it was an excuse for me to test out Ammy in the safety of numbers with other cosplayers!

She's back!!!

Ammy's back and alive!! (no not the old head, got the new head and painted her and she's 'back)

I trimmed a little bit of fur mostly off the top of the head, it's very subtle though. And aside from that, just painted on the markings!!
