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!

That B's Log gallery is pretty nice, nat :3 Did you buy a B's log, or is that a separate book?

B's Log Gallery was like... a Megami Deluxe. It apparently had all the pictures from covers and other bits of the magazines in the past year or two. It's all pictures though. But mostly from things I don't know.

Came out in September, but I only just heard about it.

All good purchases :D Though I can't personally recommend the 月面兎兵器ミーナ―okamaARTWORKS since I don't have it ^^ Actually... I don't have any Okama books! ._.

Oh, and Chocola 2008 comes out on the 9th! Might want to add that if it's still possible.

I've been trying to hunt down some Okama books since I love Okama works, but there's never anything in stock anywhere, and I'm not willing to spend a lot of money :3
Are you getting chocola 2008? I might just get it with a later order~

Oh yeah, I also got イリヤの空、UFOの夏―オフィシャル・イラストレーションズ on a whim since I like the cover. Do you have this one, nat?

I have a secret hate for that book. It's not the book's fault, but I ended up with a Chinese bootleg version of it. 2nd hand sale in Japan, paid too much, couldn't tell it was a fake until I became more acquainted with that kind of thing. Besides, who thinks they're buying a fake in Japan? XD In the end, I didn't feel like buying it again. It has a lot of nice images though.

Most (all actually) of the images from the book are in the gallery, including mine from the fake book.

O_O Bootleg?! Did they copy the entire book exactly? I've bought my fair share of bootleg items... :x

I would guess so. I didn't know what the original looked like, but since I was buying in Japan I didn't think it wouldn't be real. I compared it to pictures I'd seen online, and the page layouts and everything matched up. Then I realized, if it's hardcover and there's no barcode on the back, it's probably fake XD

The Okama book is good. It's all works from Getsumen To Heiki Mina (which is what the Japanese characters mean, I'm guessing) which is a show I personally liked but I dunno that it got much widespread attention.

Basically all the characters in the show are themed after fruit and vegetables and you get loads of spreads and character shots of them all in the Okama style. It's all colour and all scannable - I think scans of most if not all the images are in the AP gallery if you want a preview.

Thanks tris :D Not as colorful as I'd hoped, but it'll do. I'll decide whether I like it or not when I have it in my hands :p

We'll bring the reviews topic back too. I feel like I want to review a few bad purchases.

If you fine folks happen to come across any of Tony Taka's older artbooks in your internet travels, please think of me :) Mind you don't go out of your way, just if you happen to come across them I'd appreciate it :) Oh and Groundwork of Mahoromatic vol 1 if you see it. I'd like to complete the set. kthxbye

I see Tony Taka's older stuff (if you mean the Graph books) on Yahoo Japan auctions a lot, but the minimum starting bid for those 30-odd page books is usually around $50. But if you're interested in getting them, that's definitely the place to look. Also they come and go on Mandarake, you just have to check a lot.

From which one did your recent T2 scans come from, Wraith?
