Nostalgia, and my iPhone game
I worked with Red Entertainment. There, I said it. I’m proud to have done so, even though it wasn’t for a long time.
I recently started playing a DS game called Nostalgia. The reason I decided to do a post on it is because I have had personally brush...
Celica Mizushiro + Custom Base Tutorial
Rare figure, GET! Plus a tutorial on how to make a custom base! Let’s get started!
Quite a long time ago, Konami released a bunch of “mascot” character figures for their Beatmania series. Stupidly, I missed out on the opportunity to pick up a wicked-...
Figure Care – Dusting, Cleaning, and Leaning!
On occasion, figures need some maintaining. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, sometimes you’re at a loss on what the best methods would be. Today, I’ll share with you the methods that I use, that I’ve found effective to clean dirty figu...
Broken Pegs and How to Fix Them – The Rise of Rize
If your figures have this problem, you will surely benefit from this post. Some of you may remember this image from one of my random photo posts. You may shudder now, but read on to find out the good this ends up being.
Some time ago, actually almo...
Dental Time! Another Megapost!
Drill drill drill! Your teeth are gonna get pwned!
Well, my busy schedule has slowed down a tad bit, but not enough to make me breathe a sigh of relief yet. There are some loose ends to tie up for certain, but it looks like I might be able to give m...
Looks like I’m overloaded!
I never thought that this would ever happen to me, but it looks like I’m overloaded. I suppose everyone in their blogging life will do this eventually. My new Super Secret Project is underway, but I think I’m behind in it. If you’ve been paying atten...
Random Photos 2
A lot has happened since the beginning of the year until now. Much of which has been backlogged due to a busy schedule. It’s not just games, but life in general, and the fact that I’ve been trying to stay busy. This week is no different. Another majo...
Kagamikusagi! Photoshop Love! <3
Gomen-ne! No Easter Eggs here!
A couple of weeks ago, Ninjovee of Tangerine Tango mentioned that she wanted to put up a new blog banner of Kagamiku, but wanted her to be even cuter than she already is. When she showed me which image she wanted to use...
My art is on Blazblue UK Cover!
Wonder how it was made? Now that Blazblue has officially been released in Europe, I am opening up this post with some interesting details, and of course, a youtube video of how it was done.
A while back, Neogaf was hosting a contest for Arc System Wo...
Commission Art Gone Wrong
A lot of stuff has happened in these past couple of weeks that I’d like to post about, but really lack the time. I fixed a couple of broken figures, cleaned figures, got new figures, I actually attended an Olympic event, and did some commission work....
Gameboy Micro Porn
Neogaf suddenly popped up with a Gameboy Micro <3 thread, so I decided to join in. I know that I said I wouldn’t be doing any review photos during my temporary gear shift, but I couldn’t help myself with this. There was so much Micro love going aroun...
Moe Passion Mascot Contest (and other stuff)
Comrade Punynari decided to hold a contest for artists to design a new mascot for his site, Moe Passion. He used a moe character generator (more info on his site), to design the mascot, but wanted something with a little more artistic liberty to fit...
Finally Finished Final Fantasy XII
One of my reasons for laying off the blogging for a bit was to finish Final Fantasy XII. Now, at 10:40pm, I’ve got a little bit of breathing room before I tackle my next game, Final Fantasy XIII. (my order has been delayed).
So what of this 3-year ol...
Improv Painting, Unexpected Purchase
An unexpected purchase last Friday – I went to Aberdeen Center and saw Ruka for sale at one of the figure shops. Many bootleg nendoroids around, but I could tell this one was authentic. My Ritsu arrived in the mail on the same day too. Two more to go...
Changing Gears
Sorry for the complete lack of updates last week, as well as my lack of responding to all your comments. I’ve been quite busy with work lately, and I’ve also been laying it pretty hard with gaming (I finished three games this February!)
I’m going to...
Taiga, Olympics, Valentines, CNY, Oh My!
Pretty big megapost today! It’s time for Chinese New Year (with some Taiga!), Valentine’s Day, and the Vancouver 2010 Olympics! I thought about doing separate posts for each, but they’re all pretty important! Let’s get started!
Originally, I was ho...
Random Photos
So I’ve got a nice commissioned job that I have been working on this week. No time to do any other photoshop work, or talk about anything else. But instead of leaving you hanging, here are some random photos I took over the past little while. Enjoy!...
My Current Collection – January
I’m sure most of you have come up against the problem of owning too many anime figures, that you’re running out of room. My own personal solution is to rotate them, and keep some of them in storage. This keeps things fresh. You may recall a previous...
Rina
Back in September, I was commissioned by Narrator 1 for a presentation piece for one of his characters, Rina. I’m not really sure of the back story of Rina, or any of the characters associated with her, but the description given to me was:
The protag...
Moar Singapore! (part 3 of 4)
Didn’t feel like doing a photoshop image this week, and wanted to add a little more variety to my blog, so here’s another post on Singapore! It’s been over a month since the trip, so some of the memories have already started to fade a bit. It’s still...
L
This week, I got two figures within 24hrs of each other. First was Supercell Miku Hatsune (The World Is Mine), and the next day, Black Rock Shooter. I took some pictures, but for some reason, didn’t feel like doing a photoshop of either of them this...
My Gaming Habits of ‘09
1.5 years ago I started to track my gaming trends, how my life’s events affect it, and vice versa. I wanted to do this so I could literally gauge my habits of gaming by the hour. The results are quite an interesting reality check!
Having been a lead...
Christmas Miku! Happy Holidays from Radiantdreamer!
Happy Holidays! It’s the holiday season! With Christmas fast approaching, I thought I’d celebrate by creating a photoshop of a Xmas Miku! I was going to do this photoshop on Friday, but guessing from how busy Christmas Day will be, I figure I’d do an...
Dark Saber Lily
A bit of a lazy post today, so I’ve cut straight to the chase.
I was inspired after seeing this post of someone’s Saber Lily mod. Since I have zero skill in painting my own figures (well, that’s not true, but it might as well be), and I most certai...
100th Post! (and 108,600 hits)
Wow, I never would have thought that I would blog this much. 100 posts is a lot! (and 338 comments since the last time I posted about the 1000 comments!) To celebrate, I thought I’d do something a little special, and write about how this came to be,...
Singapore: Meeting with Comrades
This weekend, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet up with some Singaporean comrades, Zh3us,Yuki-To, Ederuferuto, User66b, and ScorchNRoses, who showed me around the city’s main Anime hotspots. While I’ve been to Singapore many times before thi...
Beyond AFA – What Singapore is like
So I’m posting this mostly for the benefit of the people who did not get a chance to see Singapore during their short trip to and from AFA, for those who want to know more about Singapore, and also for those Singaporeans who are expats, and miss home...
Anime Festival Asia ‘09- My Turn to AFA
My very first anime convention, and it was the incredibly awesome Anime Festival Asia in Singapore. While many people chose to focus on the merchandise, I decided to focus on the participants of the con – the cosplayers. SIXTY crazy photos ahead! Wit...
Radiant Dreamer Featured on Animeblips
I never thought it would be possible, but Radiant Dreamer is now featured on Anime Blips!
It was definitely an interesting experience. The interview questions asked were similar to what has been asked of other featured blogs, but Robyn tailored it mo...
Saber Lily Omake!
A bit of a lazy post this week, not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t have time at the moment. I’m getting ready to take a trip to Singapore next week, so from here until the beginning of December, you probably won’t see a photoshop post....
Mirai Fan Art
Well, it’s Friday again, but instead of a figure photoshop this week, I decided to do a fan art of Mirai from dannychoo.com. Hot off the press, just finished 10 minutes ago, radiantdreamer brings the latest news to you!
I decided to try out somethin...
Moka Halloween!!
As per my post on figure.fm about what I should photoshop next, I took the suggestions, of Amrita and did Moka in a cemetery. Perfect for Halloween!
Here’s the original photo I took. My wife had taken my DSLR to work today, so I was left with my PO...
Nendo Lily Arrives, Abused Immediately.
Lily just doesn’t get a break! We all know what it can feel like when we’re not wanted. It looks like Saber does too. More after the jump!
What a mysteriously shaped package! e2046 delivers again with awesome bubble wrap. But why is this Nendoroid...
One Thousand Comments Reached
Thank you to everyone who has commented on my site! I’ve reached one thousand comments since this blog’s creation!
Thank you all for your continued support! I’m especially thankful that most of the comments have been of great quality and feedback fro...
Saber Lily Arrives, Mistreated Immediately
So my Saber Lily has finally arrived from e2046. Everyone and their mother ordered one, much like Max Factory Ignis a couple of years back.
There are plenty of other reviews that have done an excellent job, such as Kodomut. And Lightningsabre has a...
Outings in October
Sort of a conglomerated post of several outings, starting with my most recent one: Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert, a motorcycle toy drive, and a tour of our new 2010 Olympics store!
It’s very rare that I go out these days, being the shut-in tha...
