SakuraHubuki Returns

Amazing digital artist SakuraHubuki77 on YouTube returns with another amazing Kamen Rider drawing. Taking on the task to draw up Kamen Rider OOO! This new masterpiece took 30 hours to make, only using Photoshop CS4 (which I use to design as well) and a pen tablet (which I wish I had). Feast your eyes on another great drawing video!

Artist we're still calling you... we may need to start YELLING!

The challenge will be coming to a close October 2, 2010 10:00 JST so get your submissions in before the deadline. You have only 1 week left. Sorry for the little time but I'm on a tight schedule too with a whole bunch of stuff. Anyway please send all entries to "cstoysblog@gmail.com" and as your subject please put "OMC Entry". For challenge rules and conditions please check out the previous post.

Before I close this article, I have to say we've had a lot of amazing entries so far and I personally like them all. You don't have to be an amazing artiest to win remember. We are looking for creativity and symbolism. So without further adieu here are the mascots fighting to be "the chosen one".

Well runephillipine just uploaded today this amazing costume that's very close to accurate and his video is very creative I must add. Anyway for the cosplayers out there, keep on making these amazing costumes. Good job runephillipine! Ore wa henshin suru!

Anything Goes with Pianos

The ultra-talented minadukiryou of YouTube has released his composition of "Anything Goes" the opening of Kamen Rider OOO. He was definitely incredibly fast to figure out all of the notes for the song and it sometimes leaves me speechless. As a fellow pianist he is out of my league... Anyway you can visit his channel to view all of his amazing renditions of songs. Oh and I see he just had let out his boxers, I have feeling a new trend is coming...

Now time to count up your frames?

Youtuber JEROMOV created this amazing stop motion animation using toys and the Kamen Rider Double figuart. I call this a tribute to the finale and after watching episode 48 of Kamen Rider W it does bring a tear to an eye how far the story has gone. You've probably seen other stop motion animation if his such as Den-O, Zeronos and the thing that got me into finding this guy the real Dragon Ball Z. Amazing job JEROMOV keep up the good work and keep showing your talent!
