This is a semi test post! Haven't been able to update my blog for a little bit due to some weird bug ^^;, mucked around a bit and I hope it's working nao (fingers crossed).  Like I mentioned before, I am very pleased to managed to get a special arrival before the new year, her name is Mirai Yukino! ^O^ She is a Dollfie Dream :)

For moar pix clickie here ^^/!


What was I doing on New Year eve? Preparing a feast food! :P I got some help here and there and hubs cleaned up most of it (with some help from me of course), so I really shouldn't complain, we also have some left over to help us tide over the ridiculous amount of snow we been getting...
(We're kinda trapped at home again! =_=;)



Party animals! lol Jessie (the Sheltie) belongs to my bro in law ^^ I take Uchi out to meet her sometimes (under supervision of course!)


Hope your 2009 is going great so far! :)

Happy 2009! :D I think in some countries it's already 2009 so I'll post this Moo year image a little bit earlier ;)!

Click on image below to get the full view!


Thank you everyone for coming back and supporting this simple little site! I am very glad that puppy52.com is still around after so many years and I hope for many more years to come!

I also finally updated the previous 2 images into Gallery page plus an Ahmin Happy 2009 artwork!
Who is Ahmin? A little more information can be found on a past entry of mine here.

Ahmin is retiring from being published in the Chinese Daily paper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore next year after 10 years of drawing her, she's still an eternal 18 years old, if you must know ;P
But she will still make an occasional appearance on my website, so those who take notice of her and like her, fret not :3!

Ahmin drawing above is sketched in pencil, inked with a pilot drawing pen and cleaned up and coloured in Sai, text and slight effects added quickly in Photoshop.

I also have an update on puppy52doll.com of a new arrival, I "blame" a particular *cough*person*cough* for tempting me :P But I must say I am trilled the package arrived sooner than expected! :D

HooHooHoo! Probably a bit late for some, but let's extend Christmas for the week okay? LOL I present to U another little art done in Sai, background and text + glow effect in photoshop ^^!


What is Sai? See other images created with or partially with Sai.

Also want to take the opportunity to thank Mimi chan for the christmas sign and message to me, how sweet is that! And I is very flattered *^^*/
She has a larger version on her blog ^^/!


So plans for christmas? Not too exciting, gotta make a couple dishes for a potluck dinner tonite lol I hope the roads are clear enough for us to head out and not get trapped in snow or a large puddle of melted snow ^^;

I really enjoying seeing snow on trees :D


New snow is FUN Lookit our new snow couch!


We easily had at least a foot thick of snow yesterday ^^; I was up to knee deep in snow when I walked out to check mail ^^; Walking in snow sounds kinda squeaky :P I almost twisted my ankle a couple times cos the footing is not solid ^^;



Think Meowmeow is naughty or nice?


Merry Christmas everyone!!! :D

Today on my way out to get mail I saw a couple kids playing in the snow, like 1 foot deep kinda snow ^^; After I started walking back home I couldn't resist the temptation anymore..... and the result is....

This morning, I was chatting with an old friend, Rex from furryfish (they specialise in flash animation, graphic and web design) back in Singapore. And he brought up a dog meets hydrant idea when he saw one of my recent photos lol!

I must admit it is not the most unique idea, I mean... what else can happen when a dog meets hydrant?
But do click here or on the image below to see the full version with a special message ;P!


Rex was inspired by this particular photo I took on the weekend.

I did some image editing in Sai -- can you spot the differences? Then I made some frames in photoshop, and continued drawing and colouring the doggie in Sai.

What is Sai? See other images created with or partially with Sai.

It had been snowy, frosty and cold this week, but it made for some fun snow scene photoshoot :)
Click on image below for a few more shots if you haven't already ;)!


The snowman Vivi built is still around yesterday when I got home ^^;


I was very very thankful that I got a ride to the Mall to work at the shop, as it was really cold yesterday. And I'm having 2 weeks off finally, even tho it'd be busy with other festive activities...


Lastly here's wishing everyone a wonderful xmas, and a great year ahead!

It's been a LONG day but I thought okay I should do an update with actually an artwork before I hit the sack ^^; So Z kindly commissioned me to do a Light Yagami Fan art in Nendoriod/SD form ^^ (for a non commercial personal use). Thanks again Z for your kind support!

It was fun doing this piece and I am very glad you're okay with me showcasing it (partially, cos Z gets the full view lol) :)



Usually with commission work, cost varies with amount of details, size and what it is use for etc :3 I don't always show case every single piece of commission I do, partly due to privacy of the clients and also I tend to showcase what I'm more likely prefer to draw. I hope it does not look like I only draw anime style, I draw other style/stuff too but I preferred to be commissioned on more anime-ish style I guess! :) With my work related stuff usually I will double check with clients (Example Danny and CDE) before I post stuff here.

Why was today such a long day? I went to donate blood with the hubs, it is kinda my 2nd attempt to donate blood, first time I went with a friend (who has since relocated to USA) and my blood iron was barely enough, so I couldn't donate. This time I actually got to the getting my blood drawn stage but I started feeling weird, so the nurses stopped the process ^^; Well hopefully better luck next time :P Hubs managed to donate successfully but he's now so tired he went to bed early. (good boy) :P

For our effort, we got a sticker and a little pin (no pix of that tho) they also gave us juice and cookies aftewards. :)


It was a cold cold day ^^; I guess what made it felt so cold was that the temperature drop was rather sudden, remember on my a day in richmond 2 post, I was remarking that it was unusually warm that day ^^;?









After I came home I donate some blood to work, and I will be hitting the sack after this lol thanks for peekin!

Hope you peeps don't mind photo dumps (as Mimi likes to call it) lol! I know someone mentioned that it's slow loading, I apologise for that :P Hopefully will be able to fix it in future ^^;



There are just times when I feel that my sketches are kinda blah due to drawing when I feel tired, so I rather not post those. This time I'll share some photos of my hubs' company party which we attended last nite :) As the party went on, it started snowing O_O!

I have some food pix, no chance to edit them yet ^^; so I will share some random pix from during the dinner ^^: found this little red star in the small table top tree ^^; so I put it near the top :P


Food pix later lol hubs sitting across me :)



Snow looking like icing on bushes!




intruder!!! oh it's just me ^^; Asked hubs to help me take a few pix to show my parents back in SG :)

ok gotta head out, more laters!
