J's Chimes: Metal Gear Miku

Sometimes artwork take a drastic and weird twist with a mixture of Hatsune Miu and the all time favourite Metal Gear Solid... Wrap it up and you'd get something new... A little bit of Moe'ness and a Banana to make some flavor out of it... I guess now someone just love Miku and Metal Gear so much that he has manage to merge them into one. This one's kinda uniquely creative and funny at times. Well... It's art (anyhow...)

J's Chimes: Hatsune Yui

Artworks are nice but sometimes you'd also get to see similarities here and there from some animes you may have seen before... One such case in which I'd found on the web is this Hatsune Miku picture which looks exactly the same like Hirasawa Yui from the K-On! opening theme.


Dunno if you'd called it plagiarism or tribute no one is ever sure but the stance and the background is definitely a rip off from K-On! However it is so cleverly done that it does look kinda good in some ways or another... Quite a funny comparison I must say... Both are loveable characters and both play and sing music... what more do you want?

J's Chimes: World Cup With Hatsune Miku

A rather interesting picture that I've found on the web... It seems Hatsune Miku had also join in the World Cup somehow or rather... Even the Vuvuzela is written and drawn on the background with Chibi Miku blowing it... I guess some hardcore World Cup and Miku fan decided to blend this 2 together for some reason or another. In any case the World Cup fever is over and life goes on with many other cups to do instead...

J's Chimes: The Bang And Slice Of Everyday Life

I remembered playing cops and robbers during my youthful days but somehow some Japanese television programme took it to great height by playing a really funny prank on unsuspected people walking on the streets of Osaka. I love how the people react to this and some even act it as though it is for real... This one is really funny so beware... Oh, with English subtitles too...

J's Chimes: Back To School...

Yup... Finally its the new semester of school starting today and also the last. Gonna get busy again real soon with projects and stuff to handle but of course J's Chimes won't be neglected much due to that. Kinda have mixed feelings going back to school after a long break. Hopefully all goes well and miracles happen this term so that can enjoy the best of it as this is the last in school...

J's Chimes: Monochrome Art

Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or shades of a color. Monochrome images in neutral colors are called gray scale or black and white and such are artworks are beautiful even without the colors. Monochrome arts are normally seen in mangas or comics alike from Japan and has been pretty popular as such shades of dull colors could actually bring vibrant and realistic painting such as Hatsune Miku as seen above.


Of course there are plenty of types of monochrome arts altogether and such are the normal black and white style seen above compare to the 3D view of Hatsune Miku. The colors not only bring out the expressions and details into view, but also makes the important parts stand out more to make it more appealing... Another type could be seen as below.


Sometimes a small dash of a color is added to attract attention or to let people focus on a certain important part of the picture as wanted by the artist. Such would be the glove with 'Houkago Teatime' in red for people to take note of for the whole picture


Monochrome doesn't limits itself to only using only black and white but a mixture of a few colors to create a something out of the box to attract attention and such would be unique colors and shadings that brings out the picture. Am personally very fond of such art pieces and would try drawing again sometime soon when i do have the time given...

J's Chimes: Real Animated Pictures

Animated gifs for animes are good for those special moments but have you seen real-life animated gifs before? Found these in the web that might interest you and somehow they seem pretty interesting in a way or two... Try uploading them in your blog or facebook and get those surprised reactions from your friends... especially these animation above. Stunningly addictive...


Can't really figure out what this advertisement is but it does have something to do with stresses and coping up with them with some seemingly interesting product or service that is on sale in Japan... Whatever the case, this is kinda funny...


My personal fav is this little kitty that goes in and out of a pipe with it's master wants to touch it with his hands... This is kinda good for a profile picture in your msn or yahoo messenger to get some unwanted attention and attracting people to talk to you...lol. Kawaii desu ne~


Finally for all Pocky Fans, here's a little Pocky wand goodness and instant image change of a lovely idol. Hmmm... makes me wanna eat Pocky again...

Animated gifs are great for capturing some great moments ya can't actually get from a still picture. You can actually try making them too (Provided if you have the time in your hands) by downloading some animated gif programs or softwares to convert them in animated gif formats... One of the programs in which i do use is Macromedia Flash. There are many other programs around that you can try so you might wanna go experiment it a bit here and there just for laughs...
