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:

My CG tutorial.

I made a tutorial on basic CG
for Paint Tool SAI and/or Photoshop. :heart:

Vampire Knight Parodies...

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

Okay, I absolutely love the trio as a threesome and the guys with Yuuki... However, Zero x Kaname yaoi is absolutely irresistible and my total OTP. 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 CHAPTER 82 IS EPIC!! *___*

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 21, 2012, 1:11 PM


VAMPIRE KNIGHT CHAPTER 82 IS EPIC!! *___*


IT'S SO FULL OF FANSERVICEY-LOOKING SHOTS!! *___*

Kaname and Zero touching hands on the cover, wooooo~~! 8D~ *FANGIRLY DELIGHT*



I posted a HUGE HQ version of the cover in my LJ, if you want it. :D




I'll be back to post on my LJ a commentary/ramblings/fangirling/etc. later when I have a moment. :D


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Older news & rambly thingies from my journal:



Vampire Knight adoptable chibi characters!♥


I kept seeing various comment people leave about hating this or that pairing etc., on other people's artwork (it wasn't on my page, but I came across it while looking for VK fanarts), and it seemed depressing and pointless since it only discourages the fanartists and drags people into pairing fights etc. and then other people looking at the page will also have their fandom enjoyment diminished by that...

Fandom is something to be enjoyed, and pairing wars are always so sad and negative...

So as a result, I was feeling in the urge to make something fandom-related that might be happy and positive, and decided to make adoptable chibies from my Halloween VK picture. :D

So if you'd like to adopt a chibi to decorate your page, journal, profile, anything, you can take them and use them as you please. :D
(The only condition is that they can't be used for anything bashing related, and, of course, you can't claim you made them yourself as that would be art-theft. ^^;  Please credit Sagakure.net if you use them anywhere. ♥ )

:iconexcitedlaplz: Happy Halloween, everybody!! :iconexcitedlaplz:



You can use them for whatever you like, if it's not bashing. Enjoy~! :D


Individual versions, if you want only one of them:


And here's also some pairing versions:

Their dances are slightly different because their arms weren't all at the same height. XD


Zero x Kaname & switching around Z&K. ♥

Again, whether you take one, two or three, or the pairings, please don't bash any of them or use them for anything unpleasant for anyone. T_T
I make those fanarts and little animations etc. with love for the fandom and characters, they are meant to be enjoyed and used in fun activities, not in anything unpleasant or negative in any way.

A happy and positive fandom is so much more enjoyable than one where there are pairing wars and character bashing etc. T_T There's enough negativity in the world, fandom is meant for happy fun and enjoyable moments. ♥

Scanned from LaLa magazine:


The New Year teaser image for Vampire Knight is MIND BLOWING!! *_____*

I think this is maybe my favorite images of the trio EVER. T___T Or at least one of my favorites. It's SO RARE for them to actually look happy, to be together ALL THREE smiling!! And no fighting, no sad looks, no pushing one or the other away... just together, happy, safe, having Yuuki nicely between them/in their arms, everything so perfect and happy.... I want this for them so much!! T_____T

The powerful meaning behind what they are doing in the pic, considering the Japanese tradition is also so wonderful. T^T

The things in the tree branches here look like ribbons (possibly for the pretty effect, and to stay in with the European imagery of the series rather than look more paper-like), but this is the teaser pic for LaLa New Year issue (the January issue is New Year issue in Japan, and comes out in November, because Japanese magazines are like that XD; )

In Japan, there's the tradition of the first temple visit of the New Year, the Hatsumoude, when you go out in the cold wearing pretty clothes (well, especially the girls, usually kimono stuff), visit the temple, pray for the New Year etc., and get your fortunes, if you're into that. (It's written on a paper thingie, which you can tie).

If your fortune predicts bad fate for you, you take it and tie it to the tree branches to ward off the tragedy from your path... EXACTLY like they are doing in that image.

All three of them, smiling happily standing together, tying to the tree the tragedies that fate has laid on their path... OMG. T^T *is so moved by that pic*

This image is my ideal VK ending. I wish the series can end as beautiful and hopeful as this pic is, with the three of them smiling, close to each other, happy, tying away the tragedies of their lives and starting anew, finally safe and happy.... T___T

OHGODINEEDFANFICTIONABOUTTHISMORETHANINEEDTOBREATHE. T_____T (Although if the happy ending happens in canon it's so much better, but meanwhile I'd love it if there was so much fanfiction with them.... T^T)

As soon as I have enough time, you can expect me to fanart this stuff like there's no tomorrow. XD XD

Previously, on SGK's journal...:

I made myself a tumblr. It's just because whenever I post in my LJ I end up making long-ish posts, which makes that lately I don't get as much time to post as I'd like to. ;_;
LJ is my main blog, but I figured I might make a tumblr and use it a bit like a twitter account for random mini-ramblings or sketches. ^^/

My LJ still continues to be my main blog where I post all my stuff. ^^/
The tumblr is just a little extra twitter-like thingie for quick mini-updates in between making my posts on LJ. :D (I was going to post the little icons in there but it was down today. XD; )

I'm still playing around with it through, I don't know if I'll keep the tumblr or eventually close it, since I might end up not using it after a while. ^^;
In any case, if you have a tumblr too, or if you feel like checking mine out sometime, here's the address:


And here's also the link to my LJ, in case you are new. :D

I was away from fandom for quite a while due to extreme lack of time but I'm finally back!! :D
(As of September 2011. Hopefully my lack of time won't swallow me away from fandom again. ^^; )

Augh, when I posted this entry it automatically removed my custom journal skin with Zero. O_o *has to figure out why*

Meanwhile, here are sneak peeks of the Vampire Knight fan-game I'm currently slowly making:

Kaname route:

I didn't get time yet to go through all my notes or really take a look around here much yet, but will happily do it as soon as I get the chance. :D

Zero & Kaname & Yuuki PLZ chibies. :D

:pointr: I made little chibi Zero & Kaname PLZs~! :D

:iconcutiekanameplz::iconcutiezeroplz::iconcutiekanameplz::iconcutiezeroplz:

:heart: Love is better than hatred~! :heart:

And then I made Yuuki also, to go along with the two guys~! :D :iconcutieyuukiplz:
She has hearts floating up on both sides and is opening her arms towards both of them so that you can use her plz along with the ones of Kaname & Zero if you'd like. :D

Although of course, you could always imagine that she's opening her arms to loudly approve of Zero x Kaname and encourage the two to get together for the great delight of all of us VK yaoi fangirls. *lol* 8D *is shot*

A PLZ is an account that exists just so that people can use that avatar as if it was an emoticon. :D
You type : iconcutiekanameplz : or : iconcutiezeroplz : (without the spaces), and they will show in your comment etc. :heart:

Mini-FAQ.

:iconcommissionsopen:   :iconnopointcommissions:   :icongiftsfriendsonly:   :icontradesask:   :iconnorequests:

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. Sorry! D:
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: ^^;

I was away for quite a while but I'm finally back!! :D (As of September 2011. Hopefully my lack of time won't swallow me away from fandom again. ^^; )

More about it all in my blog post on my LJ: [link]

:pointr: Sorry if sometimes I take a while to reply to deviation comments or to thank you for watches etc. ^^; Sorry also if I end up running out of time and not being able to always answer. ^^;
For a while now RL has been pretty crazy/busy, and I've been having very little time. I want to draw as much VK 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 far from where I would like it to reach 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 hopefully keep making this gallery entertaining for you all! ヽ(゜∀゜ )ノ :heart:
