終於

Finally...


After one month, I finally have something to post again... The previous month was uneventful and I was playing games all the time, therefore I did not have any thoughts or significant happenings to blog about...

I've finally finished my drawing (though somewhat unsatisfied), thus this would be a double post... The post below would be the drawing...

My exams are up this coming month, so there wouldn't be another post for a month again... After the exams, I would be conducting a percussion workshop at NUS... That would definately bring about some interesting entries, I'm already very excited...

最終兵器彼女

Saishû heiki kanojo aka Saikano


The Last Love Song on This Little Planet... Judging from the name, it's quite obvious this is gonna be a sad story... This manga is set a few months before the end of the world...

Shuuji and Chise are third year students at a high school in Hokkaido... The shy Chise finally confesses her feelings to Shuuji, and the two of them awkwardly started exchanging a diary...

One day, while Shuuji desperately tries to escape from a sudden enemy air raid, he sees a scene that he would not forget for the rest of his life... He sees Chise, with huge weapons which looks like a part of her hand, shooting down the enemy fighters one by one... Apparently, Chise is the ultimate weapon with a destructive power important to the outcome of the war...

Chise just wants to be a normal girl that is in love with her boyfriend Shuji, yet she slowly develops a weapon's instinct - a physical need to kill... Shuji, meanwhile, does his best to make Chise feel normal, he would take her on dates as though everything is normal... However, as days past, he has increasing difficulty adapting to the harsh reality that Chise is a weapon, and one to be feared at...

The rest will be for you to find out... This is a very emotional and far-fetched romance story, yet offers one of the most realistic couples ever... Not sure if you would, but I sure liked it...

Chise - Saikano
Chise - Saikano

About this drawing, I mentioned having troubles with it... The first problem would be the legs, they seem unproportional and I can't seem to able to correct them... The second problem would be the shading, it looks very messy and I can't seem to be able to do it right... Guess I'm better at shading naked figures huh?

A point to note, that weapon IS her right hand and the wires and wings protude from her back...
