Video Find!: Japan and Color

          I somehow found these three cool videos online just now. They're all Japanese with the last two being made my the same person (I think?). The first video, Loop Pool, by Daiki Aizawa is a short video that seem dream like with it's ambient music (which Aizawa also created) and cool visual. It's about the cycle or flow of life or food chain. The last two videos, Memory Player and Which Color Do You Choose For A Rainy Day?, are simpler that I just really the art direction and use color, which is sparingly, yet bold. Have a look.

Big News in the World of Persona

Welcome to Persona

          This has been a big week for Persona and its fans with not one or two games announced but three as well as the launching of a new Persona website! Japanese magazine Famitsu broke the story this week with their interview with Persona 3 and 4’s director Katsura Hashino. The new games are: Persona 4: The Golden, Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena, and the now 100% confirmed Persona 5. Hit the jump for a ridiculous amount of news and information and pictures!

UPDATE 1 (9/9/11): The debut trailer for Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena has released! Find it after the jump near the bottom of the page.

Castella In Theory 3: Self-Righteous Suicide

          Hey, guys, I just finished the third story of Castella in Theory: Self-Righteous Suicide (in just under 2 weeks. Only 11 days!), it's a continuation of the first story. It takes two months after Ecila's passing and is about how Greg is dealing or not dealing with her death. I don't think that summary quite fits, but it's okay. Please read and comment! Hope you enjoy. The link for the story is below.

          I'm so glad I now know I can write a full story in less than 14 months or even less than a month! The first story actually took 30 days to complete. Fun fact: this story was originally going to be the second story, but I was having a lot of trouble writing the opening scene and had just come up with some ideas for the current second story and thought that that story was going to be an easier write. Wrong! Anyway, here's the third story.

This story can be surreal at times--this is just the picture to use

Photo Ops at the Marina

I was going for a look reminisce of the Pink Floyd Animal cover.

How do you think I did? It almost looks like painting.

          I went out with my dad today biking and I took a little time to do a Photo Ops. I think I got some pretty good pictures today. View the rest after the jump. If you like them, free to use them as long as you credit me, Vahsol. I might edit some of these later.
