Here's my Beato fanart. I tried hard in making it. ^ ^ please feel free to look at it. But prepare your eyes. XD. Thanks. ^ ^





He held the tattered golden butterfly close to his chest, after all, it was a part of Beato. )
9th-Nov-2009 12:12 am - Sandown Night Market
Saturday - the third and last day of the Sandown Night Market.
Ktak, Yumi, Sha, Danh, both my brothers Ron and Sheldon, Ron's friend Kerry, Steven, Steven's friend Riccardo, and I all trooped into Springvale for dinner (phooooo) and going ga-ga over Ktak's Tekken 6 artbook (gahgahgahgahgahdgahg *O* <3!!!) before heading down to Sandown. We got a little lost because the Sandown Racecourse sucks like that. THOSE GATES NEED TO BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC ACCESS, DANGIT! D:<
I also got all pissy because there was actually an entry fee of $2, even though it wasn't mentioned anywhere. (But yeah, I know, big deal, huh? TWO WHOLE DOLLARS, OH WHOOOO.)

Anyway, the market was pretty boring had the potential to be better... it was like the Vietnamese Tet (New Year) Festival, only smaller. I guess people put more effort into Tet. Not as much food to pig out on as we hoped. D: I was really looking forward to those steamed sea snails.

Ron and Kerry found friends of theirs and joined them wandering around. Steven and Riccardo left early. Sheldon drifted between walking with our group, Ron and Kerry's group, and either by himself or with Danh. At about 8pm-ish, we finally got bored and opted to leave, with Ron and Kerry staying back with their friends. The others headed over to Arthur's joint to hang out, but Sheldon and I went home. I picked up Ron and Kerry at about 10pm-ish. XD

And now for the obligatory What Danh Said, and also, What Yumi Said:

(Us at dinner, talking about... pregnancy or something, for whatever reason)
Danh: *about the time frame of a woman's pregnancy* Isn't it 6 months?
Everyone: *buries face in hands*

And:

Us: *playfighting*
Ktak: He's (Danh) a red-belt, you don't wanna mess with him.
Yumi: Yeah, well, I'm a Yumi!

XDDD

TODAY I actually ended up cleaning a bit of my room. It doesn't look any different Spring cleaning, whoo! \o/ And soooooo much dust. x___x

For those who were looking for Beato's song;

Thanks to [info]littlegal2008 sharing the YouTube link;

And here is the ripped MP3. Haven't found a full version for George's song, but I know there were some of you that were looking for this song in particular :) Apologies for not providing the full CD.

And the English translation, as provided by /a/ and [info]albinoelephant

It's really beautiful. Sayaka Ohara really outdid herself. ♥ Perfect for Beato, I think. It sounds kind of tragic when it gets to the instrumental portion of the song... Beato/Battler, anyone?

...I don't know what Waltz's sword is called, so I've dubbed it the Disco Stick. XD  This is the gayest prop I've ever made - and I've cosplayed Ranmaru Mori!

Progress time!

Sexy template drawn onto plywood.  Because this sword is so extreme in thicknesses, I've cut it into two in the hope of strengthening it with additional layers... if that makes sense?


Here are some of the layers I mentioned (made of thinner plywood).  This was the most awkward shape I've ever cut out of wood! >_<


More layers still, with clamps and/or tape holding them on whilst the glue dries.


Putty to blend in the joins, and the left handle has been sanded.


More layers, more detail, and more putty. X_x


Test painting.  I know, it's not the right shades.
THIS IS NOT FINISHED YET!!!
The test painting lets me see just how dodgy my work is when it's coloured. XD
Tomorrow, I will be sanding most of this off and/or puttying up the flaws to make it smoother.

Other Waltz progress...

Hahaaa!  I've been working mostly on the sword, because it's been a lot of fun, but I have started some other things on him, I promise!

For example, I fibreglassed my legs the other day.  Bwahahaa!  The reason I'm wearing such ugly shoes and socks is because I will not mourn their loss if they get destroyed. XD  Yay for bad flash photos... you can't see how hairy my legs are!
 
DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME!
I cannot describe how much this hurt, okay!
This is going to be the base of my armour.  I've used fibreglass because it needs to be super strong to hold all the awesome plates and things on it.
 
And before it's brought up, it's sawdust, not dandruff! XD
Neeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddd!!! XD
I don't like the colour of my wig, so I've bought another two of different shades of yellow and platinum. I'm just waiting for them to show up and be better than this one... hopefully!  Although, I really like this one's fringe.  Damn...
 
And that's about it for now!  I'll do a Sun Ce progress report next (when I've got a decent amount of something done), and then back to Zidane again~!
