C79 : wallet killer
You hear that sound? It’s my wallet, screaming of agonyyyyy *ahem*. I have been pretty tame lately on buying stuff, but I don’t think I will be able to resist. Notably for this Comiket, lots of information got on Pixiv, and I’m quite happy to see some new artist participating for the first time!!! Contrary to last year, I will keep it short, meaning I will post mostly what I’m interested in ( but considering that it’s Comiket, it will certainly get long and it’s going to kill my wallet ). Contrary to last time I won’t cover everything since I’m not featuring this on another website and I don’t have much time to spend with my family per year. Also, there is a certain tendency in this post for me to have interest in artist I have recently discovered or have no/little work from yet. This certainly means I will skip usual suspect like Kantoku this year. For a wider coverage, you can check icie’s articles
Vous entendez ce son? C’est mon porte monnaie à l’agonie *ahem*. Bref, j’ai été plutôt calme sur les dépenses récemment mais je ne crois pas que je puisse résister à l’appelle du C79. Ce Comiket est riche, plein d’informations sur Pixiv, et je suis très content de voir que certain artiste y participe pour la première fois! Contrairement à l’année dernière, je vais essayer de garder ce post plutôt court, donc c’est seulement ce qui m’intéresse ici ( mais on parle du Comiket, donc ça va surement être long, au grand désespoir de mon porte monnaie ). Par conséquent, je ne couvrirais pas tous, puisque je me limite à mon site uniquement, et que j’ai pas beaucoup de temps. Je préfère le passer en famille puisque je la vois que très rarement dans l’année. Aussi, j’ai une certaine tendance ici à m’intéresser à des artistes que j’ai découvert récemment où dont je n’ai pas ou très peu d’oeuvre. Si vous voulez encore plus, vous pouvez toujours lire les articles d’icie.
Another preview for C77. I’m working in parallel with the French translation. The French one will have less circle, focusing mainly on high profiles first. I also talked about artist drawing for eroge, and eroge company do participate in Comiket. I tend to overlook them though as their set tends to be quite expensive, but nevertheless, they are good sources for artwork. We are still in the middle of the update period and it’s still slow *sigh*. I did put my preorder at Toranoana though. Also, most images I upload is resized to fit my template, but you can click on the circle/company name to get directly to the event page. Lastly, as I’m splitting the preview in several articles, you can take a look at the tags in the left sidebar and see who/what is featured.
Today, most artist use computer to create their artwork. Artbooks are, as much as it might seems derogative, an industrial product, printed in a certain quantity. Quality is affected as soon as it’s printed, and I will explain how in this article. There are several steps on the road to printing, but the major two are the drawing and the printing itself which I will try to explain in-depth, though I can’t guarantee the accuracy of my information. I will also provide several reference to artists and artbooks to illustrate the technical aspect. This is the first article in a serie of 4, as it’s a bit too long for one post.
