Alter's new Asuka is a tour-de-force of butt cleavage
It's been a slow week for PVC news, but I am glad that Akiba Hobby posted this particular gallery. Alter had a few enticing items on display at MegaHobby Expo this past fall, including a new figure of Asuka sporting her Evangelion 3.33 look.
While the figure itself isn't extraordinary, I'm just glad to see a proper Evangelion 3.33 figure in the works. The majority of such offerings are either cheap (prize figures and Revoltechs) or way outside my budget (Medicom's RAH figures).
Thanks to the more in-depth gallery, we can get a closer look at Asuka's butt cleavage. Because really, that's the most important thing. You can also see that her hat is removable, and she seems to have an alternate pose for her left arm.
My favorite thing about this figure is her expression. Asuka figures tend to have a cheerful (or at least neutral) disposition. This one looks weary and a bit irritated, which is extremely appropriate given that Evangelion 3.33's storyline is entirely about Shinji's poor life choices. He has caused Asuka - and many others - a lot of trouble, and this figure reflects exactly that.

Rotofugi's gallery opens 2014 with a double exhibition
Rotofugi's first gallery shows of 2014 are opening next week, and two familiar names are kicking off the year. Jeremiah Ketner's Day Dreaming and Yosiell Lorenzo's Woodland Orphans will feature both artists' works on canvas. Yosiell should also be bringing along some of his sculptures, if Rotofugi's description of the exhibition is accurate. I wonder if that means any new Sicklings ...
Both Jeremiah and Yosiell's shows open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 10 at Rotofugi (2780 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago) and run through Feb. 9.

round about: mini teepees & spaghetti sculptures
Well, we made it. We’re in 2014. Every year past 2000 seems like the crazy future to me- that’s what happens when your childhood was in a different century. We’re working to get back into our usual routines after the holidays: school starts next week, the Christmas tree needs to come down (sigh!), and there […]

Pay particular attention to the lighting - how it models her face. Also, see how the lighting on her hands and her face get your eyes to travel back and forth between these two most important parts of the image. Masterful work!
