A truly nice scan that I can hardly get my eyes off. The details of hair and face are well done. The scan is illustrated by Tony Taka and seems to be from some magazine. Found on moe imouto, a higher res version should come later.

I guess everybody knows who this character is, right? Yuko Amamiya (雨宮 優子), from the galgame ef – a fairy tale of the two. Well, since we’ve already identified the character, I’ve a question here. Who’s the illustrator? It really confuses me. I know that Naru Nanao does the artworks and CGs for the game, but what about the above one? It looks like a Naru Nanao work, but at the same time, also looks like a Hiro Suzuhira work. I can easily identify Naru Nanao’s and Hiro Suzuhira’s artworks but not this one. Tell me if you know that.

What is Nekomimi (猫耳, cat ears), Nekomusume (猫娘), or Catgirl? There might be lots of names but all of them refer to one thing that most of us have already well know of. “A catgirl is a female with cat ears, a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body. ” You can read more on Wikipedia.

Poking around on moe and then I found some really nice pics on Nekomimi, and most of them are Stick Posters Not sure whether it’s some kind of artbook or just some illustrator campagin, it’s just awesome.

Illustrated by Ryohka (凉香, Circle name: 涼屋, visit the blog), one of the most talent illustrators in Japan. I guess most of us have seen her works before and you can find more in the gallery after being fully restored.

The scan is illustrated by a well known illustrator Tinkle (てぃんくる, Circle name: TinkerBell, てぃんかーべる). I’m always seeing him/her drawing Lolis (Mm…I’m not a Lolicon so far).

The updates will be slowed down since we are now ready to move to a new server. The whole process will last about a week or so and the connection of the site will not be broken down until the last step. Will bring more.

For those who use IE6.0 I’d like to know how the layout performs since I noticed there’re lots of problem with the theme uncovered and the frontpage is a mess. Tell me if you find out anything^^

The above scan was illustrated by Mamoru Naruse (成瀬守, Circle name: THE FLYERS). I guess most of you know little about this illustrator, so do I. But he does produce lots of good art work, say, the Doujinshi for Comiket 75 SELFPORTRAIT 2008 which is also well done despite most of the papers are monochrome sketches. I will put up the Doujinshi if you like it. Tell me.

Just got an awesome scan from icie on Hunting the Elusive. Drop by his blog to get it. Be careful, it’s “HUGE” ^^. And about the scan, WNB’s C75 Clear Poster Fate/Unlimited Codes, illustrated by WNB Mark (Mako Tatekawa (館川まこ) & Setse Yuena (ゆえなせつ)). Want to know something about WNB Mark? Check out their blog.

The winter holiday has just begun and I had already got tons of jobs to do in the coming few weeks. In order to prepare for the coming GMAT I have to spend another holiday studying all the lessons and meanwhile start to outline my thesis. Works seem to be demanding but I’ll have to make it whatever.

Just some daily stuffs. I am still working on the theme of the site, feeling pretty satisfied with the current layout and will sure bring something new and fun, say, the Tweetbacks, a creative way of showing Twitter entries relating to blog posts like comments. I’ve read through the post talking about the latest Tweetbacks stuffs, mainly via Mashable and sure it’s gonna be something that most of the bloggers will sure to follow. If you are a Wordpress user, you can find more articles and plugins about Tweetbacks here.

Some friends were asking when and where Tony Taka’s calendar be released. Actually I have no ideas either even after poking around Amazon.co.jp where I believe should contain approximately everything about Anime and Manga. The calendar should be released in Comiket 75 and I think there might be some extra storage since someone would like to resell them (just hope it won’t be a limited version only on Comiket 75).
