It has been years that people have been asking me to a way to create their own catgirls using their favorite Poser figures, and now that is finally possible. Today I have released my universal ~Animal Anime Pack~ to the general public!
The package is made of over 130 files that include textures, materials, poses, presets, figures, props, and lots of custom morph dials. There are presets for 13 animals, but the provided powerful morph dials allow you to go way beyond those. Combine those with over 10 seamless animal fur textures and you have a wide amount of possibilities! You can check it out here. ^___^

Today is a special day because I have released a new Poser product after about 2 years of not having added anything new to my online stores. The new ~Everyday Clothes~ for NearMe is finally out and readily available at Content Paradise, and soon to be available at the Renderosity Market Place in about a week or two.
And the good news are that more products are coming out soon! They are for Aiko3 and Terai Yuki2 and you can check their current development status at the Projects page. As usual, comments and suggestions are appreciated at this point of development. You are welcome to email me with your thoughts about any of the current projects. ^___^

I have good news for those who like my Poser products! My bestseller ~Gakuen Life~ clothing pack for AnimeBoy is going on a 30% sale price on my  online store at Renderosity! In addition, my Bubba chibi catgirl for Poser is going to be available as a FREEBIE during Renderosity's Giveaway promotion in December. Don't miss it! :D
In the recent months DeviantArt has become my official and main gallery, while Renderosity is still my main online store. And that's not all - I have now started a partnership with eFrontier and my products will also be available at my new Content Paradise online store. I personally prefer that people would buy my product from there because CP gives me a better deal on sales comparing to Renderosity. It will take me a while to get all of my products there, since CP has different requirements and some files need to be redone to comply.
My 3D artwork has progressed a lot ever since I joined DeviantArt last year. Renderosity, PoserPros, and other online galleries dedicated to Poser-specific renders never gave me proper feedback to allow improvement and get my artistic side more developed. On the other hand, having to deal with preconception against the 3D media can be discouraging at first, but my overall experience with dA has been mostly positive and constructive. I made a lot of new friends there, which was not so common to happen at the regular Poser sites. Well in short I am very pleased I decided to join dA and it has been a great experience - even when people there understand very little of 3D or Poser itself. ^_^

Today is a special day to me because DeviantArt has finally created a 3D Anime category in their online gallery. Ever since I've joined the site about a year ago, I had to post my 3D Anime artwork as "drawings" because that's the only way DA would recognize the Anime style, but now things will be different!
Coincidently, my first picture posted in the new category was selected as "Today's Favorite", which was also a first time happening to me over there. It was rather unfair having to compete with all the Anime drawing artists when my artwork was not about that. I have been waiting for this to happen for a year, and now it has finally happened. Yay!!
I find it amazing that despite of all the Anime-related games people play nowadays in console machines, 3D Anime style is still pretty much ignored on most of the major online galleries. Not only Anime is discriminated as an artform, but 3D in most cases is not even considered as something art can be created with. Since I use both in my galleries, I thought it was a lost case until DA created the new category. ^_^

Just added a new page to my Anime Culture section, where I talk about a very important part of Anime and general life in Japan: the Otaku Culture! I included a nice article about one of the "elite geeks" from Japan, writen by Tony McNicol (posted here with his permission). Don't miss it! :D

I think the new site has been mostly bug-fixed by now and things seem to be working fine. Again, if you find anything here that is not working, please let me know and I will fix it. Thanks to my new tools, this new site is now quite easy to manage and update. ^_^ If you have suggestions, I will be glad to hear about it.

What can I say? I have been a martial artist since I was 8 years old, and have practiced four different martial asts over four continents, and today I have lost faith in my current one: Taekwondo. I am really sad because I have never seen anything like this before. The instructors were basically selling a belt exam for money. It would normally take 3 months of hard training to earn it, but they made it available for $180 where you get your next promotion in only 3 days if you attend to the event and afford the price. I am lucky deception doesn't kill, for I am still alive. Life goes on...

Today I have revised the site text. I fixed some typos, corrected some contents, plus added a few extra info to the Anime Culture pages. Please REFRESH the games to see the changes. Feedback would be really helpful at this point. :-)

Finished editing the new website and finally uploaded it. Have been fixing a number of bugs with the site but I think it's working fine now. Please refresh the pages to make sure you get the latest version of them. I think this new website I have put together is much better and more organized than the previous one. Now I will be able to add more sections to the site in a much easier way, since the old site was already maxed out as it was. If you have comments, suggestions, or found site bugs, please contact me about it.

I finally took the time to rebuild this site from scratch. There were several links that went dead because Renderosity changed their website at least twice, to inlcude links to my gallery and also to my online store. I am sorry it took me this long to get things fixed, but it took me a while to find a program that would allow me to recreate this site the way I wanted. The program I was using before got to it's limit and the site couldn't grow anymore, but now I think I've got things under control once again. ^_^;
