It’s so realistic it’s freaking me out xD. That’s pretty cool that you can do something like that ^^. Ever think about selling your art, or maybe sending it over to me for free ^^.

Good job, though I couldn’t find a definition for “realism,” online TBH

I notice (here and elsewhere) that to distinguish the subject from its shadow that there’s a halo (on her right arm); is this actually light bouncing from behind?

I haven’t seen her regular face with her simplified hairdome and it doesn’t bother me, but I’m just thinking too much, as usual.

Man Miku is too cute. I love the attention to detail you put on Miku’s skirt, it really shows. I also really like the painterly feel you got in this even if it’s done on the computer.

I know it’s the way the figure is posed in the photo, but it seems her body is positioned at a slight angle so that I have a feeling that she’s not balanced. She looks like she would topple over because of her massive, but cute, head.

Well done man, well done.

Grats on the 20,000. Putting your blog on other “places” increases your number of views, lately mine have been decreasing because of the lack of new posts

Thanks everyone! I’m really glad you all like this work. I had a lot of fun making it!

@ JC : They started off looking incredibly “Mortal Kombat” and I was aiming for something more SNK. I do have some SNK references, and unfortunately, the end result was still far from SNK style. I decided to settle with a hybrid more closer to Guilty Gear (hence why I decided to use a GG background instead of an SNK one).

@ Q : Yeah, saw those a while back. It’s definitely impressive, though it’s a shame that I’ll probably never own one.

Congrats on the new milestone~ It surely feels motivating when things are going on the right path. On the other hand mine went astray and I had to restart it orz…

Btw the ’screenshot’ reminds me of a PS2 game in development called Fate/unlimited codes that will come with Figma Saby Lily in December (I think). What do you think of it? Danny Choo seems to be indulged by it.

Great work on this picture !

For me, the “too realistic look” is like Mortal Kombat or Clayfighter, an old SNES game, but yours figmas are closer to SNK sprites

@ gordon : I had thought about getting Rin, but that thought passed very quickly. I initially decided that this Figma would be the first and last I would get. That may change if a Figma that can top Saber comes along. (in which case, I may offer Saber up for sale)

@ Q : Hey Quintin, good to hear from you again! Good on ya that you got the Haruhi Figma! CM Videos? I gotta check that out! You should show your sister my blog too! Get her hooked!

@ Belela-San : nothing gets past you! Looks like I’ll have to come up with a more difficult challenge in the future!

@ Prim3 : thanks! Can you guess where the background is from?

@ gndynames : seems that hlj shows her as “discontinued” at the moment. I know that she’s been restocked at hobbysearch. Good luck!

I gotta say I used to be skeptical about purchasing this figure due to the joints but now I’m considering ordering her when I buy more stuff from HLJ.

That question is easy, it was the second one counting from the end XD. This articulated figure of Saber is great especially on the face, to bad about the articulations that will loosen up after long usage, that was something that revoltech thought probably the reason why it does not have many poses like figma

Hey man it’s been a while since I dropped by at your blog. I’ve just restarted my blog so things are still feeling a bit shaky, but I hope it’ll cruise along soon enough.

I got myself a figma Haruhi with a fairly good price in Nakano Broadway nearly 2 months ago. My sister at first didn’t have much comments but when she saw the articulations of figma (and the CM videos) she’s astonishly fascinated by it.

@ kin : you know how it is with main characters - they’re always clean, or get hit in the “good guy spot”. James Bond can walk out of the ocean with a clean suit, so why can’t Saber be clean?

Don’t hold out, Kinson. This is definitely a figure worth buying!

@ lu-k : 2 of each? oh wow! That’s pretty hardcore indeed! What purpose do you need 2 for?

@ ron : yeah, I looked at the other Figmas, and I’m just not into it, not like how cool this one is. I suppose Haruhi would be rather interesting too, especially with the gundam packs attached.

@ chun : you’re pretty good at photography, so I’m curious on why you haven’t taken any pix of your own figures.

@ lostty : Thanks!! I hope to make more photoshop images in the future! I might have to try some more Saber ones, since she’s so posable!

@ George : Yeah, Saber is pretty popular… it’s weird how it started off as an eroge, and hit mainstream. Honestly, the character design isn’t anything to call home about, but it’s still quite cool. I guess I bought into the hype.

@ nanu : It’s not really physics as it’s more of balancing. As an artist, it’s important to understand how the body works, how weight distributes, and what looks natural. Hopefully these photos can inspire some interesting poses for you!

I’m happy that you like my site! Please check back often!

Seems you had a lot of fun presenting this, managing to make so many self-balanced poses. I guess that’s a good way to understand physics some; I haven’t very much played with my figma Saber because I couldn’t come up with interesting poses ^^;

I do enjoy photo-compositions, and wish more people would do them.
