Its gettin real bad...jus cant seem to get into the momentum.. But i'm tryin very hard and i can feel it coming thru~ slowly... i was always a 慢热 designer or person if u dun allow me the title of designer....LOL! I'm slowly gettin into form...but normally, i spend like 2months to get into form, and we go for like 2 weeks break? and i go back to square one...zzz....
Was searching for interview article and i finally decided who i'm doin my interview article on...Takayuki Takeya 竹谷隆之. He's a master sculptor in japan and is very famous and sought after. You guys mus be wondering why the sudden interest in sculptors...LOL! He's the main sculptor and concept designer for S.I.C series of toys. Yes, my masked riders and the entire series of Garo. He is involved in the creation of final fantasy playarts, props design and some other conceptual monster works. I'm not much of a sculpture person myself, but with my experience of buying his series of toys~~ He is godlike~
Last year, for Star War's 30th anniversary, Japan's Yoshitoku Company apparently had him designed the conceptuals for Darth vader's mask. They were goin to make a Samurai Vader armor. The images were superb...*although there was only one image...LOL! But hey~ if i get to be involve in Star Wars...i'll so faint on the floor.
