Happpy New Year 2014!

The Colouring & The Wallpaper: Nikudame Cafe v02 by Inariya Fusanosuke

I’m back with something new! Well, I would have been here a couple of days sooner if my Internet connection hadn’t acted up! But luckily everything is ok, so here is my new colouring:

It’s from the second volume of Hyakujitsu no Bara DJ Nikudame Cafe by Inariya Fusanosuke. These two are my favourite chibi characters, they are so cute! >//< There are no brushes on this one, only shape layers and original lines. I also didn’t use much of light colours, close to white. I think the final effect is ok?

Anyway I also used this image in a wallpaper. The background (lines and stars) was made some time ago and left alone in the corner of my disc. ^_~ I joined them and here is the result:

I hope I’ll be able to post some more images, but lately I’ve been into Australian football, so I’m spending most of my free time watching games. ^^ But I’ll try to find time for yaoi too! ^_^

The Wallpaper: Itsushika Kimi no Toriko by Sakura Bunshichi

It was a long break, but no, I didn’t abandon this blog. I just found another obsession to add to the rest. (^_~) This time my attention caught a special kind of books – M/M romances. I finally tried and read them – two for now, but the rest will follow. ^^ But since this place is for Japanese yaoi manga and anime only I will write more about the book in my LiveJournal page.

As a new addition for this place I have a wallpaper I’ve just finished:

It’s actually the second version of the image I’ll use as an avatar soon, but with different colours. It’s from collection of oneshots called Itsushika Kimi no Toriko by Sakura Bunshichi. It’s also my colouring, since the original image was black and white. It’s not the most creative wallpaper, but I liked this version of colours and didn’t want to waste it.

The Wallpaper: Toshishita no Ryuugi by Maruya Kae

I just finished another wallpaper. This time the original art is taken from the cover of the first volume of Toshishita no Ryuugi by Maruya Kae:

PS. I’m supposed to gather here the yaoi related things I do, but lately (AGAIN) I’ve been only doing this kind of things, so the recent posts in this blog have similar content as those in my main journal. *sigh* Well, al least in my journal I write also my thoughts, while here is my gallery. ^^

Happy Valentine’s Day!

PS. Original art’s taken from Hyakujitsu no Bara DJ - Nikudame Cafe volume 1 by Inariya Fusanosuke.

The Wallpaper: Otona Keikenchi by Nekota Yonezou + more of Dolce

This time I tried something a bit more complicated. I used techniques that resulted in more complicated images than before. The list of tutorials I’m currently going through is in this post: 100+ Cool Photoshop Effects Tutorials of All Time. The main image for today is the wallpaper with the image of two characters from the manga Otona Keikenchi by Nekota Yonezou:

Here are the links to the additional things I used:

• the tutorial: Creating an Abstract Watercolor Wallpaper
• two images of the paint spots and one of the brickwork: Sample Image Pack – 25 Free Images.

The next two pictures are actually the new versions of the image I posted last time - Morinaga-san from Dolce by Kitazawa Kyou. It’s rather NSFW:

The Colouring: Dolce by Kitazawa Kyou

This time I’m adding the sexy image from the manga (this time from the raw version found at AarinFantasy Forum) Dolce by Kitazawa Kyou, rather NSFW:

The Colouring: Ikenai Otoko by Takao Hiroi & Kamuro Akira

This it the new addition to my yaoi collection. This time I coloured a picture from Ikenai Otoko by Takao Hiroi and Kamuro Akira:

Ps. If you are curious about this manga you can check my little review I wrote some time ago here.

Stop ACTA petitions

Everyone has probably heard about ACTA by now. So I'm not going to write long post about it, since everybody is aware that it's not the best possible way to fight the piracy. I'm not happy about it at all.

I was afraid that everything was lost, because the countries already signed it. Apparently we still can do something about ACTA coming into effect. We can send petitions to the European Parliament to stop it. Here are the links:

I already signed both of them. Now it's your turn.
