On fanart, fanartists, doujinshi and doujinshi artists.

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. :D


*has hope that with people knowing more about it, more people will respect the feelings of the fanartists* :heart:

Vampire Knight Parodies...

Zero x Kaname.... *___* :iconcarameldansenplz:

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

Vampire Knight five years anniversary celebration.

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 15, 2009, 7:02 PM



Vampire Knight five years anniversary celebration. :D



I only joined the VK fandom later, so I don't have the very first LaLas, but if my information is correct, in a little over a week, Vampire Knight will hit the 5 years anniversary mark since the manga started running in LaLa. :D

(The five years anniversary for the 1st book release will be in July next year, but the magazine start would be the exact "birth" of the series. :D :heart:
This is because VK started on the January 2005 issue of LaLa, and the January issue generally comes out in November the previous year in Japan (yeah, I know, it's a bit weird how it works for magazines XD), which means November 2004, so it will be five years November 24rth 2009.)


I checked the official sites in Japan, and as of now there's no official celebrations planned for the five years (;-; *whimpers*), but being the obsessed fan I am, I feel the need to mark the occasion, even though I'm still somewhat swamped right now... XD;

Would anyone be interested in celebrating too? :D

I was thinking we (the fandom as a whole, internationally) could do some sort of group project or something: As fans, we'd create fanworks (fanarts/fanfiction/amvs/etc.) to celebrate and show our love for VK, and post all our various creations on the 24rth, which is the official date for the magazine. X3

Or that week, in any case. X3 Especially for people doing more than one fanwork for the celebration.
(Well, if you're late and all, I'm sure no one will mind. XD And even sketches and quick pics would be fun too~! X3 )

People who don't draw or write fics etc. can always do other things, like bake a cake and decorate it with VK-reminding things, then take a pic of it all prettied up and post it as part of the celebration too. X3
(People who don't draw etc. tend to do things like that in japanese fandom festivals. :D That way you can still participate and show your love for the series even if you don't draw etc. <3)


It's a bit like the birthday festivals, only we'd be celebrating VK as a whole, and by extension, each and all of our favorite characters, through the series anniversary. X3

If I can, I'll try and post something I'll do each day of the week of the anniversary. X3 (Pic or fic or small sketches if I lack enough time to draw more elaborate stuff. XD; )

So what do you think/what will you do for the anniversary if you plan to celebrate it too? :D :D :heart: :heart: :heart:






COMMISSIONS CURRENTLY OPEN!! :D


:pointr: Commission info: [link]

Normal commission prices apply to OCs and any other series.

If you want to commission me to draw Vampire Knight fanarts, then it's cheaper, there's a 25% discount on all prices.

(Yes, I'm obsessed by the series. XD)




Mini-FAQ.

On Requests:

:pointr: Sorry but I can't take free art requests.
The art I do in my free time is for my own personal enjoyment, so when I do art for other people, it's on commission time, since it's work.
Because, well, I need to pay rent and buy food, and if I took requests I'd either have to do them in the work time without earning money, or take away from what little free time I have left, so yeah. ^^;

:pointr: But if you want to commission me, I'll happily draw for you. :D



On my frequent lurking: ^^;

:pointr: Sorry if sometimes I take a while to reply to deviation comments or to thank you for watches etc. ^^;
Lately RL has been pretty crazy/busy, and I've been having very little time. I try to draw as much as I can in my free time, but then sometimes I can't manage to reply to all comments etc., and I try to catch up later. Sorry for delay in replying. ^^;

:pointr: Thank you so so much for all your lovely comments, for all the favorites and the watches! :heart:
So often, I look at my pics and feel like my art is still so terribly far from where I would like it to be one day... So it always makes me very happy to see that people like my art anyway, and it gives me the will to go on posting more, and drawing as much as possible to improve and to keep making this gallery entertaining for you all! ヽ(゜∀゜ )ノ :heart:

I like your gallery, Nice work! stupid question, if Rido and Juri are bro and sis, Rido is yuki's and Kaname's uncle, doesn't that make Senri Yuki and Kaname's cousin???

Okay, so~ I have an idea for the song, I cannot get Wings of A Butterfly.
Limewire hates me <3
So I'm thinking this.
[link]
I love the premise of it. Kind of like Kaname is a drug and Zero is the needer.
It's almost as if Kaname is Zero's air. I think it's with Kaname on top, but. Still awesome is done correctly.

If you can give me your feedback, I'll get to work on it :D Gotta get more episodes anyway.<3

:iconsagakure:
Ah, I know that song, and while it's lovely, it's been done before, so I'm not sure if it would be as cool to use the same one... ^^/
I can, however, upload for you "Wings of a butterfly", if you'd like.

Also, I was hoping for Zero x Kaname, so Zero on top instead of Kaname... XD;
Of course, ultimately it's your AMV so it's whatever pairing you like, but my whole hype and bouncing around was all about it being Zero topping Kaname, since there's so much stuff with Kaname x Zero already everywhere but almost none at all with Zero x Kaname, which happens to be my favorite. ^^;
So if you could make it be Zero topping then I'd be SO HAPPY. XD;
