uhh..Gandalf..the.. <really> shiny?

Gahaha YESSS after a 2nd attempt at Satoshi Kamiya’s Wizard, I managed to pull through!

Yea but the work part was hard though, I’ve got no idea how long I’ve spent on this model, all i know was that it took me 2 days, a forum consult,some really crease-holding paper and some glue.

Yup i cheated =D but just as other folders had problem with the right hand griping on to the staff, they decided to just glue the hand and the staff together and so did I.Well I did modify certain areas of the model:I twisted the  and curled the staff,opened each of the shoulder pleats to create a proper looking sleeve,crimped the hat a little more so that it actually looks like a hat, unlike several other models I’ve seen where they left it looking like a half-hood or sumth.I also made the robe more stretched out,as for the hands I did have problem with them but anyways I simply wet folded them again, although the quality of the paper made my life difficult.

I dont know what type of paper I used, I visited the nearby stationary and was paper hunting until I found this Silver aluminum-sort paper that could hold creases well.Bad colour choice though.It made the model really gleam,and because of the the details cant be seen really clear even though I took the pictures in a shaded spotwizardcp

Here’s the crease pattern of the wizard, the RM 10 note is a reference to the size of the paper.

suddenly I feel like buying orange paper to crimp into flames or sumth.Wakaka compared to the one folded on David’s blog,I crimped the beard xD + more detailed version

I feel like a black page in a book now. The books of other people, that is.

It's been a while. I've never thought I'd have to leave my crap here again. Well whatever. Christmas was splendid this year, quite a different experience for me altogether. I was especially happy that day. During the party there was rarely a down moment in me and to I was quite intrigued on how I survived my first(socializing) hang out trip after the party.I had tons of fun, that was definite. On the contrary there was a void in me. The inability to really bond to someone, to really become friends. I try my very best not to let down the others, yet so I still feel isolated. I sit. Smile. Laugh. And yet within me, repression controls my every move. A suicidal dictatorship that desolates me for each of my every action. and yet I smile. I've never felt fully acquainted in these occasions. There was forever a reservation inside persistent to hinder me. It endorses me to be sensitive about everything the others do.Momentarily avoiding me.Not responding to my statements.They ...

Birth’s Conceit

  I laugh, so lifelessly low I smile, crying deep below I curse,breaking my vow To no one who hears, even now.   I chuckle to my spine Yes today is nigh! Wishing seven and a decade The day I met my life.   Perhaps in another world, A much more fortunate child liken a kingdom,a king’s commemorated Drafted with gifts, overly joyed   A fantasy this day so seem’d A joke perhaps, to a life so grim Good night I greet a reflected wimp Into bed I crawl, like a limp. ************************************************** haha happy birthday! Hey thx! A step closer to the end, yet a year extra to endure.where’s the party? here it is! everyone including me, me , me and all the other non existing nobodies not reading this are certainly invited! but hey who bothers anyway?
