Hiya folks, it's me again bringing you another update to ensure the fact that I'm alive.

Less rambling this time; school's still been pretty work heavy, but again it's nothing I can't handle. Tests have been kinda here and there, but I suppose overall I'm not doing too terribly. Although being a bit of a perfectionist, I always want to do better. So mreh to that and all.

Definitely gotten some good drawing time in the last few weeks. Did a few drawings and sketches for MSG Man again, subtly tweaking and polishing up the designs for the old staple characters. Within the next few days I hope to be able to put up some of it again. The script for Chapter 13 has kinda stagnated unfortunately mostly due to work, but I hope to solve that soon next week.

Halloween's coming! Already, my (possibly) last Halloween in America. Man how time flies. I have some slight regret that I hadn't really made the most of all my previous Halloweens when I really should, being how that it's not really celebrated at all in anywhere outside of America and especially in Singapore. So...I'm probably gonna goof around as Emperor Form Kiva as I might as well give the costume some 'road time', which it has yet to receive!

Aside from all this, mostly because I am quite the sap for classic romantic stories, no matter how cliched they may be, I got into Love Plus for the DS, which you may or may not have heard of. Yes, it's a dating sim/gal-get game like Tokimeki Memorial, one of my favourite game series of all time.

Yes, you can use the touch screen and touch the girls and even kiss them and all. But no, it's not some perverted little device, and it's definitely not meant to be a way for people to escape or replace a real person. It's just an interesting new take on an old genre of games that's not had much exposure outside of Japan, and a really sweet, adorable story experience. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either really sad, or just really narrow minded, so there. Anyone who has a decent grasp of Japanese (or isn't afraid to do it trial and error), and is interested in this sort of thing, I definitely recommend it with some slight reservations, mostly due to the repetitive nature of this sorta game and its price.

I think that's about enough geeking around today. I'll be sure to put up some material soon. Take care all.

Wow man, so you're the one who cosplayed as Kiva in the last few events. I always wanted to know how you got your suit, cause I have a Adultsize Faiz belt and I'm dying to have a Faiz suit to go with it =/

I met THE Yoshimitsu Banno in PERSON. Hooray. =x

Hi there! Yes, I have been the one going as Kiva in the past few events in Singapore *is guilty as charged XD*. I got my costume custom made for me by Sushiya-Pro.

He's a great guy to work with, charges reasonably, and does great work. Unfortunately, his work load has been pretty heavy these days (my Emperor Form couldn't make it in time for Cosfest and STGCC for instance). So his output hasn't been as fast.

Still, you could still check him out and drop him a line. His site is HERE. Tell him KYQ sent you! ; )
