Canon Lens EF 50mm 1:1.4

Some relatives from out of town came and went and Husband got a suddenly aquired lens, I tried it out (with husband’s T1i) quickly one evening and I love it! :)

As you know we have 2 active young furkids, Ginko and Yoshi, they become the instant subjects. (Above is Ginko)

Strida Mini

What do you do when you don’t want to be slow baked at home without air con on a hot summer weekend?

1) You go check out foldable bike at a bike store you normally don’t go to!

A few days in – random stuff

Wow, I just realised I haven’t posted here for a while! O_O Even my husband was posting a lot more than I am these days ^^; And also looks like the Tokyo loot pix have to wait a bit ^^; I already have a backlog of photos of random stuff which I will post now ^^;

I’ll start this post with some photo dump of our furkids on a warm afternoon in our living room. The heat reminds me of Asia, only slightly dryer — not as muggy?

Richmond Olympic Oval

Chanced upon the near completed Richmond Olympic Oval in the middle of some errands not long ago, but didn’t have time to look thru pix until now. ^^; While I personally think it’s not as cool as the life size Odaiba Gundam — by the way loads more pix/links at dannychoo.com, husband and I were quite impressed by our quick visit with how  it looks so far ^^!

Cat girl art, spring and cats…

Nyah? Haven’t posted new art for a while I know (Nyoron~ ^^;) need.. moar… arms…. ^^;;;
I’ll update this into my gallery later on ^^; I did a couple more sketches but they were rather rough and also after an update recently my computer is refusing to work with the scanner (grrr!) I only managed to get this cat girl drawing into the computer by taking a picture then adjusting in photoshop, then open in Sai to clean up + CG ^^ Hope you like!

This image was inspired by Big box and Maru ^o^! I recommend you watch until the very end of the video LOL I dunno how the person who took the video managed not to laugh out loud XD!

Spring and things

Sorry, just realised my last post was last Saturday ^^; Just been a little too busy and quite overwhelmed, recently found out that my team got into finals for blythe beauty contest 2009, and many more things to do/plan from there still! ^^;/

This year is my 5th spring in Canada :D I dare say it is one of my favourite seasons, despite the hayfever and sinus headaches it causes husband and I ^^;

Inspired by airborne cats

I’m sure plenty of you can recognise airborne cats, especially this photo (click to view). I first discovered Junku’s photos of his amazing jumping cat pictures thru flickr. We still had Meowmeow then and he was too old/tubby to jump like that :P  Our two furry kids definitely can jump ^^;/ Ginko is very good with catching the catnip toy I made for them in mid-air ^o^!

Art, food and critters

This entry is way overdue I know, but I had been awfully busy ^^; I am probably very fatigued these days as one of my eye (optical lol for you DC peeps) is still rather twitchy ^^;

I wanted to draw a new piece of artwork to put on puppy52.com site as an entry image, but haven’t been very happy with my recent artwork, and also not to mention no time to CG properly ^^; CGing can take a few hours to a few days and I just don’t have the luxury at the moment since I have an important deadline to meet ;_; But well today made another step nearer to the deadline so took a little time to sketch a bit :)

Couple sketches and a load of cute ^^;

Did a couple sketches last week, one was a random girl in bikini (drew it before the bad news day).

Last week a friend came over to visit us for a bit (she also needed to drop something off) and we took her to stalk baby bunnies at a local park (selected pix under cut) :D I hope it distracted my husband a little, a tiny little baby bunny ate a carrotstick from his hand and actually touched his finger a bit! (I’m jealous :P) Husband had Meowmeow for longer than I do, while I know I am still upset over Meow’s passing, I know he had a longer and stronger bond with the cat, who of course loves my husband more than me, and may take longer for his sadness to pass…

Another post about random

This week managed to finish a record speed little commission for Otaku Dan! :D Very happy to be chosen to refresh the mascot/logo, the mascot is so cute, like a mochi with ears, tail and glasses ^O^ ^^; want to eat it lol!

Click on image below to see the page introducing the art ^^/

I draw full time for cartoondollemporium.com but occassionally I do take a freelance commission or 2, have to squeeze it into free time sometimes if the commission has more details ^^; Each commission work is different, so charge and time to complete differ per client ^^;  Example if the mascot is a full size girl with detailed clothing etc, it’ll cost more than drawing a mochi mascot with a face and accessory :) Currently I have a couple things in queue ^^; (Sorry for the wait!)
