Today January 14th marks the day when I started blogging precisely one year ago ^^. As most of you know I started blogging in blogspot with the blogs name anime–stuff.blogspot.com with a banner known as Anime, Anime Merchandise and stayed there for 6 months and in July I moved to wordpress.com. One of the very first comments was made by Danny Choo the person that made me loose my mind with figures and gunpla and after him others came. It was a very interesting year meeting most of the people in figure.fm and from other blogs that have great photography skills which I base myself on to take my pictures. I want to thank every reader that made this last year a great year of blogging, I want to give special thanks to lu-k, shinohai, valho, ~ron, Aya Kyunik, lanie-emon, super rats, seiryuu and Danny Choo without you I would had quit blogging long ago and a very special thanks to Nakano the owner of the best anime shop in Portugal I only regret it’s too far away from my home.
Here are a couple pics of Ayanami, more to come when the weather gets a lot better.
Top 5 figures in my collection:
1- Mirei-san, Kotobukiya
2- Haruhi Suzumiya, Max Factory
3- Motoko Kusanagi, Alter
4- Ilya swimsuit, Alter
5- Sera-chan, Kotobukiya
Top 5 Gunpla:
1- MG Zeta Gundam ver 2.0
2- MG Wing 0 custom
3- MG RX-78-2
4- MG Zaku II ver 2.0
5- HGUC GP-02A Physalis
I leave you readers with a photo manipulation I made to commemorate this day of one year of blogging while listening to Gundam 00 OST which inspired me a lot and pumped me up, to me this the best photo manipulation I’ve made so far, hope you like it ^^. As the previous ones the background on this one was also made by Greg Martin, I don’t cut his name nor his website because we shouldn’t use other peoples work without giving them credit 😉 .
Grats on the one year and hope you have many more great years of blogging! ^^ As you get more familiar with the new camera, we the readers can expect even more awesome stuff from you =)
Looking forward to whatever happens with your mascot and maybe we can have a hand in helping you decide if you end up having too many choices? :p I’m pretty sure the best is yet to come from you and am looking forward to the Rei and Zaku II shoot, hopefully sooner than later 😉
It’s been a year already? Time flies, it really does. Congratulations on keeping it up for a year. A mascot would be fun. I think we should all get mascots. 🙂
Haha yeah a mascot, that a big great for most of us I guess ^^;
I don’t think I’ve told you this already, but the actual banner is awesome, like the last picture. Lovely composition!
I see that you’ve tamed that funky Sony A100 rather well. Not only those Rei pictures, but the ones of the gundam are really clear and beautiful. Good job!
I’m not good at giving advices… and the only thing I can say, and which helps me going on with blogging, is do only what you like (eeeeehh so lame, but very true). IMO, I think starting to think “what I am going to write for my readers?” is wrong, since it will obviously become constraining in a way.
So just have fun! ^^;
e conheci-te hoje mesmo xD força nisso, axo é que é podias fazer algumas cenas em tuga, só mesmo para os fans hardcore e tal porque cenas em Inglês há por todo o lado mas no nosso bom Português não lol
I thank you all for your words and yes I’m really interested in creating a mascot but for that as I mentioned I’ll need the help of someone who can draw and perhaps some day I’ll be as lucky as Danny and have a figure of my own mascot ^^ (Ok I think I’m thinking very high).
@Fox: é assim eu até podia fazer uma versão em Português se o wordpress permitisse duas secções distintas e se a tem eu não sei fazer. A razão pela qual eu escolhi fazer isto em Inglês foi para conhecer mais pessoal pelo mundo q gosta disto pq vou-te ser sincero, os tugas na sua maioria em relação a isto são incultos ou seja não conhecem pq estão demasiado ocupados a fritar com Naruto, Bleach e outras tretas e não sabem ver outras coisas, depois já existe um blog semelhante ao meu em Português o qual não me lembro do nome. Se houvesse uma forma de criar uma secção em Português até podia criar mas de momento não tenho interesse nenhum pq o meu objectivo sempre foi e será conhecer pessoal por esse mundo fora e depois não acredito q os tugas q se deparem com o meu blog não saibam ler Inglês XD.
lol epa força então 😉 se tivesses mesmo um server conseguias modificar o código das paginas e dava mas prontos, isso são outras águas, força nisso 😉
P.S. Naruto era fixe, agora está a nadar na lama e bleach… n vejo desde do 94 xD agora vou mas é ver lucky star 😛
Grats for 1 year ^^ great photo manipulation too 😀
my blog will be 1 year old soon (16 Jan) ^^ and I’m thinking something similar too, about taking photograph of all my figurines and making mascot 😀
once again, kinenbi omedetou! 😀
Apenas para realçar o nerdário que tu és! Ainda assim como já nos conhecemos há demasiado tempo eu deixo passar isto impune e não me meto contigo! ehehehe Parabéns pelo aniversário do blog e pelas 40 mil visitas! lol Eu com um ano ainda nem cheguei às 10 000! ahahaha
Aquele abraço e a todos os que fazem deste vida: get a girlfriend dudes! AHAHAHA
xCUNHAx
A meter nojo por desporto!
Happy 1 year anniversary ^^, time really does flies doesn’t it, looking foward to more figures/gundams blogging from you. I think a mascot will be nice too ^^.
Well, I’m new to your blog, but congrats on your 1 year anniversary. I’d probably be able to celebrate something like that, but I slacked off so much on mine, I’m giving myself a ‘start over’
Hopefully I too will make it a year and meet all kinds of new folks.
Super Rats – I kind of have a mascot (Kimiko-chan). My old character from an old webcomic I use to write. Someone else drew her, but I just couldn’t let her go after the comic died.
Thx a lot guys ^^
woah 1 yr already! no way can u quit, not when everyone is supporting you! =D
Btw, have fun creating a mascot, i’ll be waiting for his/her arrival!! Congrats!
Congrats.
I just discovered the site recently, and haven’t gone through it all, but I like what I’ve seen. You’re pictures are very well taken, and view you have of the tree seems to work well with every figure. Keep up the good work.
Nice to know that if I ever move back to Portugal there are stores that cater to my interests in figures too, I didn’t know if there were any there.
Yep mbern45, there are more stores popping up but Jikai still outranks all of them because it has more stuff and the prices are the lowest in terms of figures and gunpla, I totally recommend it to anyone.
Happy one year of blogging!!! I still have a long way to go =)
Parabens e continua a dar lhe forte.
hope to see your blog here next year
ps.(depois de comprares a objectiva quero é ver um blog com o conteudo das fotos :P)
Happy One Year of Blogging!!! I still have to wait some time until i make one year as well xD
Congrats for your first year of blogging. May the coming year herald more success for your blog (^_^).
