After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Anyone here know if Shinta had a archive site?

Oh I definitely don't subscribe to any particular scene. It just happens to be the genre I listen to my most. One of all time favorite bands being Splashdown.

Just so long as you aren't one of those stuck up indie kids

$Loftydreamer 1 hour 36 minutes ago
I pretty much am across all genres. I have so much music I can listen to music nonstop for an entire year without hearing a repeat. Though I seem to spend more time with indie music and local bands.

`Sakiera 1 hour 40 minutes ago
I listen to a variety of genres ranging from Sara Bareilles to The Dillinger Escape Plan to Monty Are I to Baracuda

$Loftydreamer 1 hour 42 minutes ago
They really are. So are you a metal fan in general. How about other genres?

`Sakiera 1 hour 45 minutes ago
I've only heard a few Epica songs but from what I've gathered they're quite good

$Loftydreamer 1 hour 52 minutes ago
Well I was talking about music in relation to Gaga. I love symphonic metal. A couple of my favorites are Leaves' Eyes, Visions of Atlantis, Delain, Epica, and Xandria

Upcoming titles/purchases :D

Thanks for the heads up Nat. I'll keep an eye out for some of those :D
Too bad amazon.jp won't ship White clover ~Itaru Hinoue Art works~ overseas. I like the art. :(

That's the whole point of a deputy shop :D Oh, or shops like HLJ and J-list will likely carry it.

I don't see Myrrhlynn's post.


I made a post on the wrong thread so I deleted it. XD


What is with the recent trend of "coloring book" styles getting released?? I've seen a couple of them now. Has anyone gotten one? (They look like they have new art but at the same time look like mostly black and white art so not sure if they are worth it.

Example: Paint of Arina Tamemura

I stay away from all coloring books :3 I've never gotten one myself, but I assume they give you pages to color... and I like stuff that's already colored for me >:D emoticon

LOL, we can unlock the threads if they get locked :D
My Aurora Gem artbook is shipping out today or tomorrow... it's entered the shipping process anyway. The Range Murata one seems like it'll be released towards the end of June. Miyuu Art Works hasn't been pushed backed as far as we know :D
All 3 are up for preorder on amazon.jp if anyone besides Nat and me are interested XD

Yasu's Toradora is still not up for preorder yet.

Well in this thread, we've run out of things for a bit! XD Sometimes, there just really aren't a lot of releases. A lot more books are coming out before the end of this month, ideally they'll actually be released as I've seen a lot of books lately get delayed ~_~

Oh, so admin can unlock threads? I've seen them freaking out about keeping the threads open in other groups and I didn't even think about both of you have mad admin skillz. XD

I've actually got a decent list of books I'm going to order but not a lot of new ones. :( It seems like March and April were big release months but May + June are slow. T_T

I have no idea how Saa-chan did it actually ._. I tried it before, but it didn't work. Maybe she has mad admin skills :D

May was definitely slow, but the end of June picks up. There's a new Naruto Illustrations coming out, I haven't seen it listed, so I'm tentative to mention it as everything seems to get pushed back these days. And... Misakura Nankotsu Illustrations comes out in the middle of July (was pushed back from the end of June). There's still the Miyuu one, and Kannagi Portraits along with Aurora Gem, Itaru Hinoue Art Works, and Range Murata, so that still makes June a pretty full month.

Interesting news about the upcoming Range Murata Book, published in Gelatin Vol 2. It's going to be 240 pages total, 50 pages full color, 150 pages monochrome storyboards and sketches with the rest presumably interviews and miscellaneous info. That's a bit disappointing to me!

With most of my favorite artist down, and a few left.

Yoshizuki Kumichi
Hasumi Elan
Bekkankou

Those 3 will be my next target on my spree :)

Do Hasumi Elan and Bakkankou have any full color doujinshi available? :o

You'd be pretty set with Yoshizuki Kumichi if you bought 'Calendar Film.' Most of the circle stuff is black and white or CG (on CDs) collections. Of course, there's nothing wrong with black and white \o/

Nah, they don't. I haven't bought Calender Film yet, but that's on my amazon wish list which is getting enormously huge since i've been buying doujins for the last year >.>

Hasumi and Bekkankou don't too but I just buy random doujins hoping for more than a few color illustrations to scan.
