Ahh!! Finally home after a weekend of fun and movies. Well two movies actually, as you can see in my previous post me and my friend ZX-Omega went to see Iron Man 2.
And I stayed at his place over the weekend, fist time in while I’ve actually had the time and energy to do something fun. I’ve been so tired after working, so it was fun to spend some time with friends. But its pretty nice to chill back home also.

We watched Avatar yesterday, ya know the movie about those blue thingamajigs.
I wasn’t to interested in this movie, never was. But now that I have seen it I think it was a pretty okay movie, much better than I thought it would be. But I still can’t see why some people hype this as the best thing that has ever been made.
Really, I can’t see why, but hey… I guess that’s just me. An enjoyable movie nonetheless, but no masterpiece for me at least. Pandora was at least a very beautiful planet and the environments where incredible good.

Tomorrow its back to work, can’t say I’m looking forward to it all that much. I would have needed one more day to rest up. I fell yesterday when we where, going to the cinema. I fell in the stairs and landed on my left shoulder, that I already had a bit of a pain in… So it didn’t make things better, hope it gets better otherwise I’ll have to contact a doctor. And speaking of doctors, on Tuesday I’m finally going to the skin-clinic and hope I get some help with my “psoriasis“.
You can a picture of it here, you are warned it ain’t pretty. You have been warned.

Oh and Thanks ZX-Omega who got me this figures for a very cheap price! My Xenosaga Collection keeps growing. These are the Xenosaga Motion Revive figures of T-elos and KOS-MOS. Will probably never be removed from their boxes!

I like a verity of different genres. Actions, stealth, & platform genres was always a big interest for me. But there was always something genres that I hated. I’ve never liked FPS, sport or driving games and one of the genres I hated the most where RPGs.I tried a bunch of different sorts of RPG’s but none of them where good. Then some friends and just about everyone else started going nuts over the newly released
Final Fantasy VII. So I tried it and of course… I did not enjoy it one bit and with that I decided to give the genre a rest, I was done! I just hated it.Now we are in the middle of 1999 and I hadn’t touched an RPG, but I had grown a bigger interest in anime. And had gotten the chance to see the anime series

Magic Knights Rayearth. It was a show that was very influenced by RPG and fantasy. So I started to watch it and grew to like the series more and more. I also felt a stronger urge to try some RPGs again and I got the chance later when I got a friend to lend me Lunar Silver Star Story Complete for the Playstation 1.

So I’m finally done with my vector image of KOS-MOS. as soon as I got home from my friend, I continued work with this. And I’m really pleased at how it turned out. You can see the original post I made about this vector here.

I skipped on making her chocker, since it turned out to be a bit hard for me.
So I just went ahead and finished the picture without adding it.
And I’m still very pleased with how the picture turned out. Hopefully I’m better by the next vectors I make, so I can add it to future pictures.

If you want a bigger picture of this I recommend heading over to my
DeviantArt page and get it there.
Its much bigger than the little preview I have here on the site. So if you really want to see how the picture turned out, head over there.
I would also appreciate if people would comment, so I know what to improve or just to hear what you think.

So looking forward to hear what people think, since its what motivates me to continue doing work like this. Can’t wait to get started on my newest vector, or perhaps I should try and finish some of the old ones I have. Well for the bigger version of this vector, get it here!

For the past couple of hours I’ve been totally occupied with work. I’ve finally continued my vectorization of a picture I’ve been working on for a long time.
I had done the body and face before, but today I finally got around to make the hair. Goddamn! Its really much work to vectorize that. But I’m very pleased with the way it turned out and I have a few things left.

For those of you who don’t know the picture I’ve been vectorizing is of KOS-MOS from Xenosaga.
I’m still missing some details on her headgear, will take care of that next. And I have to give draw her chocker. Since I’m going away later today, going to spend two days at a friends house. There will be no more work on this for now. After the rest is done all that is left to do is color this picture and upload it to DeviantArt, for the whole world to see.
Hopefully people will enjoy this picture also. This will also hopefully be the first of a few KOS-MOS vectors.

When I’m done with all, I’m going to create an image gallery here on the site for the pieces of artwork that I’ve made. Well at least I’m going to have the stuff I’m most pleased with. Enough talk, enjoy the picture. Please comment it if you feel like it.

Now that the year is nearing its end, I thought It was about time I made a post about my Xenosaga Collection. So I’ll be posting all my games, figures and stuff. Yes, I’ll have pictures for everything I have. It is a bit sad to be just about the only(?) Xenosaga fan in Sweden. But hey, I really love the series.
And this is how I show my support, even if the series has is as good as dead now… At least Namco Bandai is letting KOS-MOS be cameos in some games… But I’m still dreaming of a Xenosaga Episode IV. How I want that to happen…

Thanks to a tip from a friend, I’ve been able to get some photo prints.
Or “posters” that I like to call them. 30cm wide & 40 cm high. I’ll be putting them up on my walls as soon as I’ve gotten some frames for them. I don’t want to ruin this beautiful art. And I’m so glad to finally have some Xenosaga “posters”. And a lovely piece of artwork from Valkyria Chronicles got in the mix to. =)

I went threw some old CDs a couple of days ago and found some stuff there I had forgotten. In the past me and Kristoffer (kntheking ) used to make small pictures/comics and send to each other.
I found one that is a spoof of Terrance and Phillip from South Park, that I made December 12 2005. Its in swedish only so sorry. Well we where talking about Xenosaga at the time and I guess Kristoffer joked around and said he would get Xenosaga Episode III before me. And I made the comic. I can’t remember all the details. Its childish, imature. And made with love.

And as a bonus. Even if it pains me to say this. But this picture from
World of Warcraft is actually very nice. Snow covered lands are beautiful.

Last week I went to my local EB Games/Gamestop as I usually do.
Checked out their collection of PS1 games. I usually do that too, in hope of finding some good games. And this time I actually got lucky!
I found The Legend of Dragoon for 79SEK (about 11.50$). So I was happy I’ve been wanting to play this game for a long time. I played it when it was new, but never finished it and I’ve always liked its battle system. So hopefully I’m going to start playing it today.
Good thing my little brother still had his PSOne or I would have been screwed. >.<
Too bad the controllers a bit… Fucked up… Anybody have a cheap Ps1 DS controller or a PS2 controller they want to sell cheap?
(Guess not. ^^)

Other than that I’ve just been watching anime, well not nearly as much as I did before. I’ve realy lost the will to do anything, since my PS3 got destroyed. Slowly building up the money for a new one… Urg… If I’m really lucky (hahaha) I might be able to get a new one in November or December. I’m at least hoping for a new one by the end of the year… A shame that so many other things I wanted to do will suffer from this blow. Why can’t I just win the fucking lottery? Then all my problemes would dissapear in an instant. It would have been so wonderfull.

EDIT: Woho! Apparently the Xenosaga figurines I ordered from Play-Asia last week has arrived today! Can’t wait untill I get home to check which figures I got. I just ordered 3, so I’m hoping KOS-MOS v3 & KOS-MOS v4 is in this pack. I just need them and KOS-MOS ep2 swimsuit and I have all of KOS-MOS versions. =D
Will update later with pictures!

EDIT 2: …. I got three MOMO figures. Not one fucking KOS-MOS figure! That has to be some record in something. I’m sad now. =(
