Some great change I see here! Would like to see more and will post some of my "before and after" workspace photos soon. Original text from Alfisti below.Been meaning to upload this here for a couple of months now. You can probably tell by the calender setting. Anyway, my work/recreation/study/near on everything else corner. The top image was taken two years back, and the bottom is pretty much the current configuration (minus a new external HDD and some more merch I picked up). Two years of changing interests, amazing what it can do.

Very much so... probably not quite as much of an aero-geek now as I was... but there's still a great love there.

what a big change... mine hasn't change in the design. just messier now with different toys. your new desk looks way cooler. im trying to identify your computer. is the screen turned off or you don't use a computer now? lol. i think that's the cpu at the bottom? hey same cdrom? hehe

You've a good eye there... it is the same DVD player, got a new black one in there as well. Yeah, the screen's turned off, I had the lights in that end of the room turned off at the time to better pick up the shelf lighting and the screen kept blowing out the lighting.

That's what I noticed, too. Which ones are those? Oh, and your room's transformation is absolutely awesome. Great makeover - wish I could do the same for my room, but the furniture's already as well arranged as it can get and I don't have the money to do anything more than that. ><
(ID #291036) Posted on 2008/09/05 05:20
It looks like it's Akira and Athena. And great improvement in your room, the 2008 is great.

They're the Solid Works Akira and Athena. I got lucky in that my two favorite characters are probably the easiest to still get hold of :D

nice desk, what do you use to light up the figures on the top right shelf?
(ID #291015) Posted on 2008/09/05 04:43
4th Year Designer Uni Slave
It's Ikea Dioder LED strip lighting. Unfortunately I only had enough cash (and powerpoints) for one set. When I get paid again I might get another set and light the left shelf as well.

With some difficulty yeah, now madly trying to hunt up the Alicia figure so I can have all the water faries. That's the only problem with coming to a fandom late: all the cool merch is either really hard to find, really expensive or really both.

Simple: you just don't put anything away or throw anything out... just move it from the chair, to the desk, to the bed and back again.

Cheers mate. Heh, in real life the light actually appears white, but it's a very cold white so the camera picked it up as a blue :D

(ID #291412) Posted on 2008/09/05 11:53
4th Year Designer Uni Slave
Not really, just the top one had all the lights on and the bottom had the fluro over the desk off to bring up the shelf lighting... plus I guess it's a darker colour scheme. That's fine by me though, I tend to prefer to work at night, in the dark anyway... late shifts and big assignements will do that to you =P

Hmm, it could use a Lancia Stratos in Alitalia colors. The blue one's nice though.

judging from all those books,you were obviously a studious person. my guess is, you have graduated and have more space for your figurines and that awesome lighting you also seem to be a meticulous person when it comes to your stuff, as opposed to those heaps of homework lying around... kinda like how i treat my assignments too hurhur
(ID #292015) Posted on 2008/09/05 22:52

Not so much studious as having broad interests. Books on the right are design books and help with my uni course as well as general interest. The rest are manga, novels and car stuff :D Pretty meticulous these days, keeping the desk tidy makes working so much easier, though come the final late night rush for assignments the desk still gets littered with sketches, mind-maps, concepts and all sorts of other stuff I'm madly trying to dump into photoshop.

There's actually quite a large amount of desk off to the right of the computuer. We made the top extra deep so I could get an A2 drawing pad on there :D That said, most of my drawing happens on the computer and wacom these days anyway. At least being tidy, you don't have to clear space when you want to draw.
