I have recieved an E-mail for Dean Read pointing out some of the changes I’ve been doing lately with my Alex pieces, I like it a lot so I’m sharing it with you guys, hope you like it.

-Original E-mail -

Hey REIQ,

I’ve decided to point out the various improvements you’ve done on Alex by comparing an older picture of her (on the left) to the newer one (on the right) in the attachment. The points made all reflect on the newer picture. Apologises if it’s rather crudely constructed but the points are to say how many things you’ve done as an artist. Both pictures are great but the recent one is a testament to your transcendental abilities as one of the best artists to emerge out of South America, period.

Thanks for all your efforts. I hope you’re rewarded a thousand-fold with good health, strong friendships, and plenty of long nights over a drawing board. Well maybe some cream to ease the cramp in the wrist from such accurate drawing techniques. And lots and lots of women drooling over your majesty. Keep up the creative work.

Take care!

Dan.

Since I came to the UK I couldn’t resist to start my own collection of Anime figurines, specially those with the features I like ( you know what I mean) , so once in a while a buy new figurines to expand my collection, and oddly always the ones I want are the most expensive or hard to find, glad I found a couple of UK online shops to buy them and of course Ebay (beware of the hong kong version :S) which sell them with reasonable prices. Anyway I started my collection buying the Shunya Yamashita figures and it seems that every time I check the shops he and the company that make the figurines comes with a new releases which good but I have to control myself just to buy the best ones. anyway I just wanted to post this entry and attach some photos of my figurines here and I’ll be adding more photos soon. Hope you like them.
