I’ve been looking back at my own artwork again, and since I haven’t painted in a long time, decided to try some exercises. I want to move more towards realism, in whatever way I can, and try to create things that are unique in both anime and realism - a hybrid as you may have heard [...] [full story] [comments]
I’m super happy that the site has reached 20,000 hits! Thanks avid readers! I’m glad that you are checking back and reading my articles! I guess that means I’m doing something right! So here’s my simulated fighting game photoshop image of Figma Saber VS Fraulent Rei. Looks like Rei is well on her way to [...] [full story] [comments]
I would have to say that I am MOST impressed with aquiring this figure. For a very long time, I’ve been waiting for a version of Saber that really appealed to me - both in dynamic pose, and in detail. In part, this would be my first armored Saber and first Figma in one go. [...] [full story] [comments]
FINALLY. I’ve sold Ignis the White on Ebay. I’ve had Ignis for a while, but have been itching to get rid of her ever since aquiring her. I bought into the hype way back when she was announced, and when everyone and their dog tried to get one of these. At first, I was indifferent [...] [full story] [comments]

So at one point in time, I was on a resin spree, and had purchased three resin statues all over the place. One of which was the Gothic Devil Girl, from HobbyFan, the Asuka on Motorcycle from e2046, and finally this much anticipated Elf Ranger. I had originally missed out on the first run of [...] [full story] [comments]
Sometimes, one may feel the need to express their interests and hobbies proudly. They might decide to wear a shirt of their favorite anime, or carry a keychain of their favorite character, or use a wallet emblazoned with the logo of their favorite show. But the truth is, most non-otaku people will look at you [...] [full story] [comments]
So I’ve been looking at my blog stats, relative to the type of viewers on my site, and have decided to keep Radiant Dreamer specific to anime. Anime figures, my anime artwork, anime topics, and anime news. By focusing specifically on that, it becomes better for me, for the blog, and especially for my readers. [...] [full story] [comments]
Finally, the last Shuraki figure. It’s been a long haul, and many exciting e-tailer camp-outs, but I’m glad that I have all five of the 1st-run Shuraki figures. The style of Rize matches Shall very well. Of course, what’s the point of me posting pictures if they aren’t photoshopped? Onward!! I quite like Rize. She’s got [...] [full story] [comments]
I just got Needa today. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to take proper photos, so I’ll post more when I get a chance. Here is my latest photoshop work. The original photo was taken using the same lighting conditions as the first photo. Instead of doing the realistic matching like I did with Revy, I decided [...] [full story] [comments]
So I finally got to buying Yotsuba Vol 1 through 5. And here, is my latest photoshop work, a fan-art of Yotsuba and my so far favorite chapter. Some of you may remember those fabulous lines. And let’s not forget the best shot ever of Yotsuba, Asagi and the strawberry cake. “Zooom Zoooom!” I’m currently reading [...] [full story] [comments]
My story… is rather simple on the surface, but deeply rooted. I have always been an avid fan of Anime. I grew up in the Macross/Robotech era. I didn’t really understand anime back then as anything different from other cartoons, but took it for the face value that I saw, much as I took to He-Man [...] [full story] [comments]

This is an old story, that’s been posted many times across the internet, and forwarded to everyone you know. But sometimes, one needs a gentle reminder to put them back on track with life. I’m at that point in my life where I need to re-evaluate, and understand myself. What makes me happy? Am I [...] [full story] [comments]
