Alternate Dimention (Part 17)

Image
*thud* I find myself lying on the floor next to a bed. Where am I? I tried to look out of the window only to be blinded by the light outside. The state of giddiness I'm experiencing now means I was sleeping heavily earlier. Oh yes, I'm in my bedroom. Yesterday was so bizarre that it seemed like a dream. I headed to the kitchen only to find that I am low on food, bottled drinks and many cleaning solutions. Current supplies would only last me until the end of the week. I noticed that I was running low on stationery and the summer holidays would end soon. Though I'm somewhat reluctant to do this by myself, I have no choice but to head to the supermarket downtown as the stores near at the train station near my house where my workplace is has limited variety. Looks like I have to get ready to go out. As I left my apartment complex, I tried to look for my mobile phone and my bicycle that is usually parked at the usual place, but they aren't there. Thinking hard, it felt

background of v0030 changed

Image
Earlier today, I have modified the background of the v0030 vector I did at the beginning of November to add more detail on top of the current version. Click on the images to view them at the actual resolution. Old: With this kind of background, I do feel that something's missing. New: Now it looks a lot better. The background from earlier is modified slightly and is positioned underneath the newer additions. As this is just a modification to an existing work, it would not be featured as a new drawing. If you were wondering why the resolution of the older version is larger than the newer one, please read here .

Mistakes spotted

Image
Looking through my vectors and the numbering of my stories, I had spotted several mistakes that had already been put up but did not notice them until later on. v0038 : Date was written as "2008年11 日 20日(木)" (Thursday, 20th November 2008). The character for 日 in red is supposed to be 月. Looking back at the version before I changed the font to the current one, this problem was already there, but was not so obvious there. v0045 : Day of the week in the date was written as 金 (Fri), but 13 December 2008 was a Saturday (土). Corrections has been made to the primary image. The corrections has been made to the images and respective images would be changed. Initial versions and outlines of these would remain unchanged due to the location they are uploaded to and for the former, it's supposed to display what it might had look like when it first came out and compare the differences (major or minor) with the current version. As outlines are introduced to the drawings blog recently, v

Alternate Dimension (Part 16)

As my original body fell asleep back at home due to boredom and insufficient sleep from the night before, I actually found no difficulties moving the other around as I rode my bicycle to the train station, even with the violin case on me. It was not long ago that this same body would easily slip off from the other me on this bike after riding for just a few meters. Of course, it hurts when I fell onto the pavement back then. For some reason, I saw it happening from a 3rd person point of view when it happened, or was that the view from the other me? I dropped by my workplace to store the device that those escapees might be after for safekeeping. I noticed that I had a pass holder contain my spare old work pass lying around at a forgotten corner in there, so I should bring it along. Since there is space for another (pass holder is large), I placed the current one on the top of the other since there wasn't another card holder for this one as I left. The manager happily waved at me

312th post: Bringing in the crowd

Image
Whenever I go to a quiet area of a department store for a while, browsing through the things there, I would notice that there would be more people than it would be just earlier. An example would be earlier this week, I had went to a bookstore to by a book. The queue was rather short when I entered. After picking a book and headed to the cashier to pay, there was suddenly a long queue of people waiting to pay. I went to the other end of the store (it's very big), but to my dismay, it's quite long too. Good thing the queue moved quite fast. Latter that day, I went to another store. As Christmas is getting nearer, this would mean the place having a larger-than-usual crowd. I look around the store and then grabbed some food and drinks. At the cashier, there was another long queue of people waiting to pay. I looked through the batteries to see if I have the need for battery sizes other than the regular 単3形 (AA size) batteries. That was when I noticed a cash counter hidden from view

Alternate Dimension (Part 15)

Image
With the events that happened earlier behind us, I decided to have Mamiko examined during the remaining amount of days in the summer break. There never was a proper examination of her body since she was clonned from me. Apart from the student council and some clubs preparing for the upcoming school festival to the general publc, the school seems generally deserted. There are people playing around at the dormitories in the school. Generally, they are filled with foreigners and people who live outside my region, most of which are studying at the college department. Mamiko is now able to move, but is still quite weak: she can walk around unaided, but would collapse if she were to do anything more than that. Her mind is just as energetic as mine, but her body don't seem to reflect that well. I arrived at science research and development building, but had no idea where to go from there. The design of the building reminds me of an old European building built in the middle ages bu

progress of v0046 and about "Alternate Dimension (Part 15)"

This is the vector I started doing this yesterday, 14 Dec. A large majority of vectors I had done on average takes about a day to do so as I normally do only one person, and there isn't really much details on the characters and a basic background. Either that or I omitted/simplify those. Right now, I'm only doing the background (which is incomplete) and have yet to even start with the outline. It seems that I can't simplify this without compromising the quality. For the leaves, I made several small circles in different colours that overlap each other to form the leaves. This may take a while to complete. The amount I had done right now is only about half of what is on the waiting list The extra-large signature you see would be replaced with the regular version when it's done. I was planning to put up part 15 back on Friday, but didn't like that version partly because, storyline-wise, it does not really get anywhere. It's hard to come up with an exciting storyli
