      I Prefer This

      Wednesday, February 11, 2009 | Posted by Jay In celebration of Valentine's Day, I've decided to show the before-and-after results of the wall "I Prefer This" from the manga series Bloody Kiss. Lovely title eh? Not for blood-phobic people!

      Before



      After



      It's a very romancy, cheesy series. But it was cute enough that it was bearable, and the girl's pretty down to earth (away from the typical weak princess character).

      The idea of paper roses reminded me of a friend of mine who folds origami Kawasaki roses. I'm not sure if he was exaggerating or not, but according to Mr. Phuc it takes about an hour per rose. I remember trying to fold some bases for him when we were in high school, but I have no idea if they were actually usable >3.

      Wow, love it.....I love it when you do stuff like that

      Ongaku @ Wednesday, February 18, 2009 -- 2:14 pm

      That wallpaper is the smex.. I don't know how you always do it. That series is a cute one, I remember reading it a long time ago.

      Yep - Esthetique finally finished it: click
      It is definitely one of the cuter shojo series XD.

      Cat @ Tuesday, February 17, 2009 -- 1:28 am

      I love before/after posts like this =D The transformation is stunning, and the added blood is a nice touch. I love the redness against the black/white!

      Tammy @ Monday, February 16, 2009 -- 7:10 pm

      I still thinks is amazing how you can make a simple scan turn into something so pretty. I really love the selective colouring.
