Yeah, I am still playing Fallout 3. I have seen a lot and have done a lot and all I can really say is if you have an XBOX360 and you like RPGs, it’s the most fun you can have at this time with that console. Oblivion would be still be second, sure. Who cares? Really what I want to say is I have lost interest in all other games because they all pale so much in comparison. Oh well, that’s just my incredibly biased/one-sided opinion. None of this really matters. Play what you want.
What does matter, is I finally got my hands on some printer ink and plan to start making and photographing models again. We are pretty much settled into our new home financial-wise, at least for the moment, and things are starting to look up again. For my printer, that is. I have been making models of various sorts all the while, so it will be exciting to show everything new off. Plus I still have 2 more models left in the PersonaFAN series. I don’t have a new one today basically because they are not finished. The others will just have to be surprises. I dropped a few hints a few posts back (or did I just come out and say it? I don’t recall…hehe), so if you have been reading, you may have some idea.
Either way, boxpunx year one is at it’s end, and even though I didn’t get around to making a Halloween or Easter themed model, I still have Christmas, and assuming I can think of something horribly adorable, or better yet, adorably horrible, I am sure the last few models I make before starting full on hardcore on my book idea (woohoo, year two!) will each be a treat for those of you that find them attractive.
Here are some wonderful clips featuring My Bloody Valentine live in Japan recently.
One minute I am in the midst of a new PersonaFAN series, the next minute I am escaping from vault 101 in my new obsession, FALLOUT 3. I feel like this game was tailor-made for me! I am madly in love with it, and simply can’t stop playing! So, if you really really want to see some new boxpunx models, MAKE YOUR OWN!!!! DOWNLOAD THE BLANK TEMPLATE FROM MY SITE! But, in the meantime, here are three new PersonaFAN models to fill in the gap, which I imagine is going to get bigger and bigger, as long as this game maintains it’s level of enjoyment. I will be back eventually, unless I can figure out a way to make real money playing FALLOUT, which in that case, I may never leave the wasteland. I traded in a number of newer XBOX 360 games to buy it, such as GTA IV, Culdcept Saga, and Eternal Sonata, all good games, but easily given up for the opportunity to play this amazing game. Oh well, see you on the other side!
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 20: Akihiko SENPAI!
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 21: Jun. I have only seen this character in flashbacks as a small boy during my playthrough of INNOCENT SIN. I look forward to knowing more about him!
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 22: Fuuka. Two more models to go before this set is complete (for now, at least!). Time for more FALLOUT 3. Did I mention how I happy I am to have Barrack Obama as our new president?!?! That’s right, republicans, PACK YOUR SHIT AND GET OUT THE WHITE HOUSE YOU DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS!!!! ciao…before I go, here’s a FALLOUT 3 video for those you have no idea what I am freaking out about:
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 19: Junpei. If you really think he needs a baseball bat, you can use the one Steve-o! made for the EBPUNX set. Series 3 contains a lot of weapons as well. Mix and match!
I am still playing thru Persona 2, and I am at the part where we have to go to the Mu Continent for the filming of the Muses video. Fun, fun!
Here is something new and interesting from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, you know, those guys behind the GORILLAZ, this is (I think at least) the first single from some kind of conceptual work/album/podcast/I really don’t know but it’s a very cool piece of music and also a very cool video. The project is titled “Monkey: Journey To The West”, and from what I gather it is the title of an album, and a podcast. Either way, this is called “Monkey Bee”.
Our good friend Ng Jian Ming has completed 12 models based on my Marvel illustrations and has been generous enough to share them with us all! Which 12 did he make? Well, you have already seen a few of them, you will have to click on the image or the link below to see…
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 18: Aigis. She is probably my favorite one from this series so far, but honestly that changes multiple times during a single day, by the end of this post I may have an entirely different favorite. Ya know what I mean?
Our good buddy Steve-o! said he was working on some Halloween themed models, and of course you can assume that I will do something holiday themed as well. Halloween is not only a day to dress up and accumulate free candy, it is also the anniversary of BOXPUNX. This Halloween this concept will be 1 year old! I will be sure to celebrate the moment with some kind of wonderful…
I also finished a new Foldskool Hero custom for Marshall Alexander’s lovely blank template. I really really like the shape of that model, but I also like the idea of “heroes from yesteryear” theme he has going. I may have already mentioned this, but I plan to do at least one more Foldskool Hero before I die. As soon as I get some pics taken of the new one, I will post the template as well. Wait for it!
This is the LEGENDARY PINK DOTS with “The Flesh Parade”.
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 17: Yuki. I have no time to chat, I am busy working on getting a big release ready. Expect it to be marvelous.
Till then, here’s one of those JOY DIVISION songs that comes and goes quickly, but never truly leaves you. “Something Must Break”. The images in the video are from the guy’s hard drive that was kind enough to upload this.
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 16: Baofu. If you really really think he needs a briefcase, feel free to cut out a rectangle, color it brown, then glue it to his hand. Easy papercraft for beginners! I didn’t give Michelle a guitar case either. If anyone wants to make accessories, by all means do it. Send ‘em my way and I will post them if you do!
Recently while watching one of my favorite cartoons, I couldn’t help but think what this character might look like in a boxpunx wrapper. Here is Spongebox Squarepunx.
This is a cool animated video for OF MONTREAL’s new song “Id Engager”. Enjoy.
PersonaFAN series part 2 model number 15: Michelle. BLUE!! EIKICHI!!
Has anyone else seen these unusual mash-up videos where they take the idea and music from the opening of a popular anime and make it into a Persona opening? I just stumbled upon this madness, here’s a simple example:
Here’s a totally redrawn one, using the opening from Azumanga Daioh, and it’s very well done.
There seems to be quite a bit of this kind of thing, and Persona isn’t the only game getting this treatment. I am sure any of the links that appear at the end of either clip will start you on a bizarre journey, should you choose to click.
Here’s more crazy cool stuff, German cosplayers as various Persona 3 characters.
I would love to meet a girl who likes to dress as either Mitsuru or Aigis!!! Speaking of Aigis, if you think my Eikichi looks cool, wait till you see her, I am so pleased with how she turned out!
Here is an eerie and awesome track, “Demon World Master”, from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
