Shiitake’s Eternal Wings

Next month I will finally have a home, till then, I just got my goodies from the Japan Expo. This year again, Shiitake was present and she signed my doujinshi! She is really a beautiful artist, and she was wearing a yukata.

Sadly no, I don’t have another photo of her booth. Anyway, she had 2 doujinshi which she had released in April, Hanaotome and Eternal Wings, 32 pages each. Hanaotome is themed around traditional clothing, meaning yukata. Eternal Wings features, well, wings. This time I took photo of the book, but not with my usual point and shot; I borrowed a Nikon D300S.

Scan: Baby doll biscuit

Morinaga Korune Baby doll biscuit

Starting the C77 stack with Baby doll biscuit, a collaboration between Morinaga Korune and Okazaki Anko. I’m already familiar with Morinaga Korune, with her loli, lolita dress and overall cute style, but it’s my first time that I see Okazaki Anko. Baby doll biscuit is a 20 pages doujinshi, cover included, and has some high quality printing as I can’t see the screening with my bare eyes, but it might also be an effect of the paper which is grainy, so the processing in the end wasn’t easy. I still have some flaw in the scanning workflow but I should address them for the next release. [PNG]

Scans: Colorful Pop 1

Colorful Pop cover

I haven’t updated for a little while; I have mainly been resting since I finally some time and I felt like I was neglecting myself. Now it’s time to empty the scan buffer before starting digging into C77. I will keep this post short since people should be familiar with Izumi Tsubasu. Colorful Pop is her long series of full color doujinshi released promptly for Comiket… well not always but we are already at the 7th issue. Flipping it from Colorful Pop 1 to 7, it’s really easy to notice how Izumi Tsubasu improved, as well as her support. The firsts Colorful Pop are on cardboard paper while the latter one use plastic paper, which is a lot better. And I just noticed that one page need to be rescanned, sorry orz. I will correct it later. [PNG]

Artist focus: Let’s make character CG with Shimeko

Here is an experimental article; as I might do more artist focus in the future. I don’t expect their content to be always the same. Il will certainly depends of the material I have at hand and my knowledge. I have acquired Let’s Make Character CG 2 month ago, but as you could expect from the title, this is no artbook. So how will I review this book which certainly doesn’t fall in the artbook category? In term of illustration, there is only 3 new one in this book, certainly for the explanation. So instead of reviewing the book itself, I will dig inside Shimeko‘s artstyle as I flip through the pages of this book as she has a truly unique artstyle which I appreciate very much. I have limited skills when it comes to drawing and coloring, but I hope this will also help people who are learning, as I’m filling this article under the “Learning to draw” tag. The new illustrations are processed and saved in PNG, the rest is raw resized JPG. [PNG: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4]

Quick loot and small reviews

Happy belated new year. I intended to make posts for Christmas and New year but I have been quite busy and I wasn’t sure about what to put, so my apologize.
My long awaited artbooks are finally here. Well I have been waiting for this shipment since last month, but as the 100 masters of Bishojo painting was first delayed, then out of stock, I couldn’t receive it in time before I leave my home for 2 weeks. But now that I’m back, I can get it. It’s a rather small loot compared to the madness I unleashed for C77 but this will be seen in time. For now, it’s just small reviews as these artbooks have already been reviewed and I share the same sentiment as their reviewers.

Question?
