| "The King is the true prisoner, in the chess board..." Kaname Kuran, ancestor. |
![]() Oh yeah~! *-*/ There was a Zeki one too, but it doesn't involves butts, sadly. XD |

| This is important, because not everybody knows how fanartists feel about those matters. ^^' I'd be grateful if you could take a moment of your time to read it, even if just the bold parts. ^^/ I want to ask the people passing by, whether you are from DA or not, to PLEASE never steal any of our art. ;__; (From me or from anyone else.) It's totally okay to save to your computer to look at it with love, but PLEASE, NEVER re-upload or use for graphics or anything without first asking the fanartist. Art theft really hurts the feelings of fanartists, and I know I really feel my blood boil when I see people stealing ~mrsloth's art, or other people's art. (Or my art, of course, but I get even more shocked when people steal the art of my friends or of people I admire. ;__; ) Always draw your own art, or ask permission if you want to make a wallpaper or something, and don't use anything unless the fanartist who drew the pic positively gave you a yes. ^^/ That way, you'll be able to be proud of what you're doing and of yourself as a human being, and will never feel the guilt of art theft. ^^/ (And that way I won't run away from you as if you were a rabid creature crawling out of the sewers. 8D;;; *can't stand art thieves*) Furthermore, fanarts are not a commercial/official product (not that stealing those is ok either, of course, but you can at least support the official stuff by buying the merchandise and books etc, which you can't really do much with fanart), so the fanartists have nothing but their love for the series, and own no copyright at all. They share the possibility to see their pics with the community out of nothing but love, and the very least one can do in return is at least respect their wishes by asking whether or not their fanarts can be reposted edited into icons etc. before taking anything. Doujinshi is also fanart So unless you have the okay from the fanartist, it's still a no-no, because fanartists get really hurt over it (and over doujinshi scanning/reposting.) The big thing that makes that people don't always realize that doujinshi is fanart too, is because in the West there's often a misconception that doujinshi is something that makes tons of money and all. Sure, there are lots of doujinshi in Japan (although sadly not too many for VK XD), but it's NOT something that really makes money. In truth, you're lucky if you cover your costs of printing and all, when making doujinshi. So it doesn't really counts as a true commercial product, because it's not really making money, and you barely can cover printing and other expenses usually, especially since you never know if you'll sell all of them and all. And also doujin prices are usually really low in Japan. The mark-up happens when shops resell stuff that's out of print and rare, or other such things, but then it's the shop that makes money, not the artist. Unless you're one of the huge names, of course. Especially the famous people who work both as mangaka and doujinshi artists. They make lots of money, and in fact, some of those work primarily as doujinshi artists and still make more money than the not-famous mangakas. But those are a complete minority, and they're the big name guys doing het doujin of all the big series or of stuff that sells tons (for example, Saigado, Tony Taka, and other people who hop back and forth between the doujin & pro worlds.) They're like a whole different world from the normal fans making doujin of their favorite series. The normal doujin artists are totally far from that, and are generallly putting their money into printing and just hoping to sell enough to get away from it with covering the printing etc costs. So when on top of that, people scan their stuff and post online, they feel really like a punch in the gut, whether the person paid for the individual doujinshi they're scanning or not. So please understand this and respect the feelings of us fanartists and doujinshi artists. D: If not because you care for our feelings, then at least respect it because you don't want your favorite artists to quit the fandoms they're in. Many people do, out of sadness for art theft. :S With the increase of doujinshi scanning and reposting in the West, LOTS of japanese sites close down because the fanartists are fed up of going through all the trouble and getting such a response and pain in return. ;_; It's really an important issue for us fanartists and doujinshi artists, so I wanted to put this little message up in hopes that people would find out more about the problem and realize how important it is. *has hope that with people knowing more about it, more people will respect the feelings of the fanartists* |
| Zero x Kaname.... *___* Okay, I love Kaname x Yuuki and also fangirl the trio as a threesome... However, Zero x Kaname yaoi is absolutely irresistible. XD XD On top of drawing them constantly, I've done a few parodies by photoshopping the official art... XD;;; They're parodies, some photoshopped some traced, so I can't post them in my gallery. (It wouldn't be right to post something in your gallery unless you did it all from scratch on your own, so parodies have to stay out.) But you can enjoy them by clicking those links: ■ Zero x Kaname version of the famous "Let's do something unforgivable" scene from volume 2 of the VK manga... (I made a version of that page where Zero is drinking from Kaname instead of from Yuuki. XD XD *lol*) This one is not just a photoshop of the page, btw. I re-drew and re-toned everything, with all just like the original, except for putting Kaname there instead of Yuuki. ^^/ Click to see: [link] ■ Kaname x Zero parody of the cover of volume 8 of the manga. Click to see: [link] (In the real cover, it's of course Yuuki in Kaname's arms, not Zero. XD) ■ Kaname x Zero Parody of the Vampire Knight DS game pic from B's magazine. (The original has them near each other, but I photoshopped it to look like they were holding each other, with Zero kind of laying in Kaname's lap instead of laying farther away on a cushion. ;D Click to see: [link] ■ Zero & Kaname parody of the cover of volume 9. This cover is already wonderfully full of threesome vibes, but I made a parody focused on Zero & Kaname, snuggling together instead of on Yuuki. XD; Click to see: [link] ■ Zero x Kaname kiss, parody of a bunch of different manga images put together. It's all originally from the manga, but only few parts are intact, much of it was modified to make it more, well, Zero x Kaname. XD Click to see: [link] |

I also have offers from various other publishers in different countries, and currently prefer focusing on illustration artwork instead of a longer run series anyway.
