DeviantArt is still new and fascinating to me.

Someone is selling their circle's brand new IchiHime doujin for $9.50 a piece on DevArt! I AM KIND OF SQUEEING HERE.

Also, uh, hi! My Devart has the beginnings of a doujin on it now! Hooray!

ichihime, bleach

Guh, gotta order! She is super super awesome and her stuff is so affordable ;A; She sent me a bunch of photo-sized prints last time I ordered too. So nice!

And omg, loooove all the sketches and the RukiHime pic *_* I can't wait to see it finished! <3

crystaldawn January 13 2011, 22:11:40 UTC

Oh wow! How cool! I'm totally going to stalk her now. X3

And thank yooooou! I'm finding that I really love drawing Rukia and Orihime together. XD And I need to work more on coloring the doujin cover tonight! :3

chipsforjustice January 13 2011, 23:14:44 UTC

I'm totally getting that doujin! Granted, I've been having to keep pester my mom about helping me, but you know... It's in the works. <3

I'm so excited to see more, you have no idea! (Uh, given that you'll show it? l-lol)

crystaldawn January 13 2011, 23:29:20 UTC

Hey, it's only nine and a half bucks! So it's not that much! And it comes right from the doujinka, so it's directly benefiting the Japanese IchiHime fan community!

Of course I'll show it! This is my childhood dream, even if it's going to be about half porn! |Da I just won't be able to put the porn up on DA!

YOU KNOW WHAT.
THAT IS PROBABLY HOW WESTERN SOUL SOCIETY ACTUALLY WORKS.
JUST ONE UPSIDE DOWN CASTLE AND YOU HAVE TO DUEL TO GET IN.

crystaldawn January 14 2011, 01:10:32 UTC

AKIO IS OUR SOUL KING.
YOU KNOW THIS IN YOUR HEART.

Sigh, nekosaiko is so awesome in every aspect I can think of.~<3 I wish I could order her doujin to support her. She is probably the best IchiHime doujinka out there, I wish we had more artists like her on DA. :<

Cannot wait for your doujin, my favourite one of the drawings is Rukia's design stupid DA won't let me comment, though.

holyfight January 14 2011, 11:00:48 UTC

I love that she's making them accessible to a Western market!

Oh, thank you! Eski also mentioned that comments seemed to be borked on that particular piece. I checked and double-checked and it says comments are allowed, so I don't know *what* I'm doing wrong.

eloni January 14 2011, 11:42:38 UTC

Exactly, we need more Western doujinkas. :3

I don't think it's you, sometimes DA does that. They should really hire a new coding team because they keep fucking up the site with each new version. But that's a whole another topic.XD

holyfight January 14 2011, 14:18:27 UTC

We do! (And not ones that abuse screentone to disguise their utter lack of talent)

Oh good, I was worried I was just an idiot. Welp, nothing I can do about it, I guess. XD

u__u Just when I've been cruising youtube for cheezy, ridiculous Utena AMVs... I-I dunno how to feel about it bleeding over to Bleach, but those uniforms. Oooh

*I need those sensual sword-pulling moments as fanart, now.*

holyfight January 14 2011, 17:11:15 UTC

To be fair, Ichigo's was more inspired by a Gundam character's, and Renji's was more inspired by a Naval officer's. But Utena gave me a perverse love of drawing epaulettes that I can never deny.

If no one has ever drawn Rukia as Anthy and Orihime as Utena, I think it's a crime that should be dealt with.

giethe January 14 2011, 18:02:39 UTC

Well, the tassels and cords are kinda droolworthy...

Yes, indeed. However, it's interesting to note that you're putting Rukia into Anthy's role, and if my feelers on the Utena fandom is right, Anthy's got half of the fandom hating her for being both a passive non-action girl and also as the possible big bad.

holyfight January 14 2011, 19:38:51 UTC

I love the tassles and cords. I actually made a Nanami costume (back when I was like 40 lbs lighter) and the epaulettes, tassles, and cords were my favorite part.

I felt really sorry for Anthy. I know parts of fandom tend to demonize her, but I found her to be a really sweet, sad character. But my favorite is Nanami, so I'm a little odd. XD

But I think they'd be a good match for those characters, especially design-wise. I was watching the Virtual Star ED last night and was struck by how much Anthy and Rukia and Utena and Orihime look alike.
