Spoiler for mado kara mieru/ unseen face, trying to match both time and age of the quote.:

And for the freebies, insted of my usual Touhou ones, I made those with the best material than I got for my project but than I didn't use, somehow it could be considered as a prolongation of it. Signatures are still modifiables.











C&C would be appreciated.

The avatars have really nice cuts and transparency! It's just nice how you choose so many borderings.

Didn't knew about it already.... ~_~ I'm so naive when it comes to that... maybe I should read some more romantic books *where's Koa... needed to hug her a lot lol...*

Ok seeing those I missed..

The two winter sigs is really good.. specially this one


looks like from an artbook >_<


She looks like a kind sleeping Miko... opposite of the money hunter miko lol (read lots of doujins this past weeks about her)...


Awesome lighting on this one.... really fits the picture... and Aya=Autumn so it really fits her well..

and it's rare to see a Tatara and Iku sigs this past month >_<..


oh again congrats on finishing a set... this time they were 2 sets >_< both are nice and have a serene aura...


Mystical sig... really have a good atmosphere of night in this one...

and some of the freebies were representing various season too... *sucker for the seasonal and nature theme*

[ganbaru]

@ Butter Fly isn't so many border or so any shape ?

@ Patchy, finishing a set isn't much difficult, starting it ( findnig the right ideas and materials) is usualy harder. Usualy because for the next serie, there's a outside factor than still worry me...

[Rennir]

Just a general comment rather than specific CnC but the thing that I love the most about your works is the concept piece; the fact that you have an overaching theme or maxim that you want to communicate in each sig. I honestly feel that you are probably one of the only people on AS that puts effort into concept (I certainly don't ). I think if you worked on communicating the ideology or meaning of the poems that you put into sigs via effects rather than just text (so say the poem talks about the dreary nature of life, use dull colors, have lots ot negative space...etc), your art would be absolutely breathtaking After all, a picture is worth a thousand words no?

[ganbaru]

^ To be honest, I think than you are mistaken on some part. I do try to follow some kind of concept for each serie, but I don't try to communicate something in each of them . I use different aproach for each serie; sometime I pick up a theme than go well to the text ( next serie will go that way), other time I put more importance to fit each strophe... sometime I ut more importance to the way the sig look than the text.

There's one factor than often give me problem: finding the right material . With the right material I might be abble to do more, but relying only on danbooru and safebooru for picture...

Time for a weekly update.

A news set of signature and avatar:

[Patchy]

Click ^^...


Reimu is really cute in this one >_< kyahhh!!


Best among your updates... Butter-fly(Cirno) and company were playing in the lake ^^... if I'm not mistaken the BG was the scarlet mansion right?

[ganbaru]

@ Patchy. Yeah, we could say than I am lurking around danbooru a bit... I did pass sometime hours to search the right picture to go with the right strophe, sometime with poor result.
For this current set, I did go to nude/ almost nude but not necessairely sexy material. I wanted good artwork but also opportunitu to experiment and use differents ( but not necessairely completely different) styles and methods. So, the choice was to pick al pictures by differents artists.
And about the Cirno signature, yes it's supposed to be the Scarlet Mansion.

[Hooves]

It reminds me when someone told me the most beautiful work is mostly centered around almost nude figures. Also thank you once again for the avatar ganbaru

[The Chaos]

love this one from your last update

And somes freebies and their oversized versions, still modifiable:

[Rennir]

Oooooohh I like the new sigs ganbaru-san can I use the second version of the freebie? No need to change anything

[ganbaru]

Of course you can, it's a freebie. You just have to ask for it

[Butter Fly]

The freebies background are really nice, though they are simple

[xXCloudXx]

Seconded!

[Suomi]

I actually like the idea of the partially nude and the quotes that go with them. Not because I'm a perv or like naked women, but because of the artistic quality to them. And the tastefulness, they're not blatantly sexy. Nice work as always, and on the freebies too.
