First Look: Kotobukiya's Isaac Clarke ARTFX
We've got a first look at Kotobukiya's Isaac Clarke ARTFX statue based on his appearance in Dead Space 3. Suited up in his Resource Integration Gear, the Isaac Clarke ARTFX statue features LED lights in the helmet, glove and backpack. As you'll see from our preview photos, the detail in the sculpt and paint applications is phenomenal, especially the fabrics and textures on the suit, and the Necromorph blood splatter in the arctic terrain base. If you're a fan of the Dead Space series, this should be on your radar for it's June 2013 release and can be pre-ordered on Koto's Web site.

Icarus for Baby Icarus
I was asked to re-create one of my favorite plush, Icarus, for a couple who are having a baby boy named Icarus. I loved making Icarus the first time around, when it was for the Plush Team's Mythology Challenge, and making him a second time was just as fun, if not more. This new Icarus will be hanging on the wall of Baby Icarus' nursery, which is awesome!
Due to the quick turnaround I had to make and ship him, I didn't have time for more polished photos, but you get the idea:
Here he is without wings:

Japanese School Girl Skirts
Was at a comrades place yesterday who is currently studying a most interesting subject - Japanese school girls ^^;
He had these up on his wall - posters which are being used in the Niigata prefecture to help discourage school girls from rolling up their skirts.
The pink poster says "By putting in more effort, you will do well for both study and (extending) your skirt length."
Hmmmm. Both look cute ^^;
There is a poll embedded in this article.
The following screenshots are from a news report (which was deleted from YouTUbe ><) that covered how school girls in Niigata have the shortest skirts in Japan. This school has some bloke going around school warning the girls about their attire and asking them to roll down their skirts.
Most high schools issue a standard uniform. The length of the skirts by default extend past the knees. The short length of the skirts are achieved by rolling them up at the waist and is something that many school girls in Japan.
Folks who run schools are generally not happy about the short skirts and want them extended to default length.
The reasons they give are things like the girls getting ill from catching a cold (from wearing short skirts) and because of some incidents where some girls had their skirts cut by perverts.
The skirt on right is a standard skirt but the one he left has been developed to stop the girls from rolling up their skirts by making the whole skirt messy after a rollup attempt.
If you want to measure the futomomo (thighs) of Japanese school girls then you know what line of work you need to be in - TV ^^;
Many girls roll up their skirt because they believe that they look cuter - and then there are some girls who do it because others do it.
