Completely appropriate shounen-ai

I do not endorse pedophilia.
This is somewhat random, but here’s a drawing I completed a while back. It’s Edward Elric and Roy Mustang from FMA. Edward’s pretty fun to draw, but I can’t say the same for Roy. His simple character design is actually quite misleading. It took me a long time to perfect the symmetry of his face. But damn, I love his eyes. Done in pencil and darkened in Photoshop, and I have added it to my gallery.
I have no idea how this idea popped into my head. I don’t read fanfics, nor am I a fan of shounen-ai/Roy x Ed. I guess I just wanted an excuse to draw them. So basically, Roy totally knows what he’s doing, and Ed is somewhat annoyed by the outward display, but clearly is not resisting. Also, yes, that is Winry and Hawkeye in the background, bawling their eyes out. Sorry girls :P

Random stuff

It’s that time of the year. When the days get warmer, the sun shines brighter, the birds sing louder, people are more joyous, and the breeze carries an air of liberation and laissez-faire. That’s right, you guessed it – it’s E3!!! :D I usually don’t pay much attention to it (especially considering last year’s EPIC FAIL), but there were some points that caught my eye:
- MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV was announced. What the hell, Square. Can we at least see FFXIII first, some time this century?
- Microsoft introduced Project Natal, a motion detecting add-on for Xbox 360, for a completely controller-free experience. As if we didn’t look retarded enough playing Wii.
- Bayonetta looks like a super bad-ass game. Check out the E3 trailer. Yes, her hair is also her “clothing” and it can grow/retract at will and turn into various weapons. And yes, her heels double as pistols.
- PSP Go announced, at an inexplicably inflated price (US$249), but the white one is damn sexy.
In other news, there’s an article in the Financial Times about the waning love affair between the Japanese and their LV swag. The part that surprised me was the analyst prediction:
Yano Research forecast that the market would shrink further this year, falling below Y1,000bn to nearly half the peak of Y1,897bn in 1996 and then shrinking to levels last seen 20 years ago before it entered its era of strong growth.
Personally I don’t think it would shrink that dramatically. I thought the whole luxury goods bubble would leave some debris lying around. Although the boom may be blowing over, but I just can’t believe that at some point in the future there would be zero remnants of it. I mean, not everyone can go back to “Zara dresses and Gap jeans”.

Even his facial expression is "WTF...?"
Designer man skirt suit, $1,288. Found in New York. My mental image right now is Wall Street bankers trying to run around a trading floor in this… @__@

Dusk
Monday, May 18th, 2009
Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridge
Dusk is my favourite time of the day. It’s so calm and satisfying. It’s not crazy and hectic like during the day. But it doesn’t quite carry the darkness and shroudedness of nighttime. It’s a time to relax, a period of being in limbo, and forgetting your hardships and obligations. A short, sweet and beautiful fragment of life’s enjoyments.
