One of my husband’s favorite past time is to reorganize and optimize our living/working space(s). That was what we did yesterday on a grey and rainy afternoon (after bringing some stuff to recycle and donate). So this was my sewing corner, the “before” state — forgot to take a photo before moving things around LOL so did a quick doodle.
Curious to see the current look? It is on tumblr :)
So what was I soooooo busy with this week? A mother’s day related flash doll card game for cartoondollemporium, I take no credit for the coding (done by the programmers in the team :)). Coming up with ideas, drawing, making change after change was very time consuming ^^; Haven’t had this little sleep for a long time XP! Really wanted to draw something else for puppy52.com but now I’m kinda burn out for ideas, so don’t mind this screen capture from the game ;)
However I would like to share a fuzzy childhood memory I had when I was probably less than 5 years old, I think we were told to draw a mother’s day card, and for some reason I did not know how to write “Mama” (in mandarin) properly, I ended up writing “horse horse”(In the chinese character, the “Ma” character in Mother (Mama), has an extra part which means “woman”) instead ^^;;;;;; remember it cracked my mom up :P
And my mom was a hottie in her younger days :P LOL
On a slightly non related note, one of the flash game — Runway Challenge, where I was involved in with a lot of the graphics was also out a little while back. This game kept me really busy for a long time as well, but the time crunch I did not feel as much as the mother’s day game ^^;
I created most of the graphics — Models, clothing, backgrounds, some buttons, and there was an animator involved with things like the model walking down the runway (poor guy had to animate all the clothing being animated :O), and all the coding is done by a flash programmer.
Brief information about the game: you can choose to model, judge or just watch the game. I guess due to that there’s only 2 spots for models, that selection almost always full ^^;
Being a model allows you to dress up with 2 rooms of clothing selection in a time limit, walk down the runway, and being a Judge, you see the models dress up, walk the runway and you get to give points, Watch will allow you to watch the game without having to take part in the dressing up or judging :) We’re probably going to add more features to the game in future, so I’ll probably blog about it when that happens :D
Curious? The direct link to the game is here, but remember, you need to sign up for a profile (free) to view/play with it! Also there’s music and sound effects, so you may wish to turn down the volume if you try to play late at night ^^;

As some of you may know, I am pretty into of dolls, namely a kind called blythes, some people may not like them or find them creepy, which I can understand (since the first time I came across them it wasn’t a “love at first sight”) thing either :P And by the way puppy52doll.com is unfortunately a little neglected these days as I am really able to sew very much :( I miss sewing and messing with my dolls (wah!)
Anyways I had been so busy that this piece of water olour was the only thing I got to finish up as I needed to meet a dateline to send it out (oops) it is a portrait — in my drawing style, of a world travelling blythe doll ^^
I think it turned out okay?
Anyways this weekend had been rather busy, we had a garage sale at our old place
More details tumblred XD
dannychoo.com recently implemented a new upload feature, I had been mucking around with it every once in a while :P Today I found a piece of water colour artwork done in 2003, a gift for my hubby actually ^^
I still quite like it, so I asked if he would mind if I share it on the internet, he said go ahead, so here it is ^^
You can find a higher resolution here on dannychoo.com ;P Of course I won’t be uploading all my artwork on dannychoo LOL but I hope the viewers there enjoy it :)
Have a great weekend, it’s gonna be another busy one for us (phew!)
I must apologize for the delay in making these since I promised a while ago ^^; these days it has just been getting busier and crazier by the minute :P So I bring you 3 versions of the Bikini girl (click to view past progress) wallpapers :D She was initially going to be a blond girl, so I included a blond version as well. Thankfully it is relatively easy to change the colours if you have all similar colours in layers ^^

Meanwhile, tumblr has been updated… dechu :3
Felt like drawing this, ended up inking and coloring it ^^; Full view in Gallery page :D
I am not sure how I am going to make a go to previous pages link at the bottom, since I am not hosting on blogger (oops) think it is a sticky matter to deal with, as I am not good at coding… ;_;
So, I am going to at least try to link to wallpaper I created with my artwork on the side, under the navigation buttons :) Currently Mirai wallpaper is linked there ^^/ Need to find time/inspiration to make the bikini girl into wallpapers :P
I have also updated a few links into Links page, gotta find some ways to categorize the links properly ^^;
Okay it’s way past bed time… goodnite!
Had been feeling under the weather, due to a flu bug possibly o_o; so art has been slow. Also need to catch up with work (eek)
Updated full version (full view with legs uncropped) in Gallery page ^^/
On a non art related note, mail loot made our evening last nite :3 Uchi posing with the loot ^^!
So came home and meddled with the art a bit — editing the line art removing artifacts, colouring/shading. I felt that the hand nearer to her head was a bit small (It was bugging me since I started colouring it) so I edited it in photoshop ^^; Hopefully it looks a bit better now?
Also coloured her bikini, wanted it to be a dark maroony colour but changed it to this colour instead, maybe change the colour again later tho :3
Tumblr is updated with springish outdoorsy pictures :)
