*- 3 hours. At this time of the year, the weather is extremely cooling and it’s when I love to have my windows open. Blue curtains flying; they never fail to evoke a sense of nostalgia in me. This piece is, in a way, a self-portraiture (haha, no way I’d look that good from behind. But still..) I was inspired while listening to Taiyou no Uta‘s soundtrack, hence the field of sunflowers. A tribute to a favourite film, Taiyou no Uta (Midnight Sun), I saw almost exactly a year ago, and its wonderfully bittersweet music.

*- Process: here.

The holidays have started! I continued working on the portrait of Sho from where I left it earlier this month, spending many hours on editing till it finally looks more like Sho than Ohno. In any case, it was similar to a work-around-the-clock kinda assignment BUT stress-free. We all heart Sho, don’t we =D He has an upcoming movie (live action of this anime: yatterman) to be directed by Takashi Miike. Sho x Superhero x Takashi Miike?! Can’t imagine… ever. Lols.

My right hand has cramps now from holding the mouse at this position for so so long. Been working on FLASH since I woke up at 3pm? A convenient way to diet, too busy with Noriko fighting Mitsuko in my head to even think of eating. The day before was quite the same; working around the clock, where around = 12hours. And the days before that, etc. Don’t know, BR is the main drive for me to work non-stop for this module, yet at the same time it’s driving me crazy. Not the design part, the programming of the game. Cut scenes are endlessly cool to work on… after looking at say 3/4 of my work, you might think it’s a BR fanart-cum-animation movie thing. Nothing for Shuya to do, and besides that, I wanted Shinji in so badly! I couldn’t cos he’s in the ‘final stage’ supposedly, while Chigusa vs Niida in stage 2. But how can I proceed with the other stages when I spent 3 weeks on Nori x Mitsuko alone, and when my programming skills is equivalent to zilch:

if(this.programming <= 0){
     esther.gotoAndSleep();
     // might as well.
     // i don’t wanna programme anymoreeeee
}

What are finger/arm/butt cramps compared to digging graves for hours on end in the dead of the night, or, attempting *er hem.* to throw a fake grenade that rebounds from the wall and kills your entire team. army, lolol. I’m lucky to have a super comfy office chair and a super super cushiony cat that acts as my arm rest. Well. Good morn’g! 30 hours to submission.

Above: CCN day on the 16th. They are so pretty! (I mean, the dogs. Lol)
And an enjoyable session at B&J in the afternoon of 17th with Wj. Wow, I never knew army is so cool. Or scary..
18th, church’s 75th anniversary.
This is the last week of IADV (what does it stand for…), before the year-end holidays begin. In the midst of creating a flash game based on Battle Royale, and enjoying it – minus the programming – as much as I can. BR!
