Sharing is Caring
For one week, recommend/share:
Day one: a song
Day two: a picture
Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day four: a site
Day five: a youtube clip
Day six : a quote
Day seven : whatever tickles your fancy
so...I've mentioned the website Pixiv before; in a nutshell, it's like the Japanese version of Deviantart, with some notable differences. For one, it has much tighter restrictions on what can be submitted - it's purely an artwork site, so you won't see media like photography, photomanipulations, game screenshots, fiction, or program skins like Deviantart. Pixiv also uses a tag system that's similar to Flickr's.
the site is entirely in Japanese, and you need to register before you can browse, but it's well worth the effort - there's a ton of high-quality art there, and the tagging system makes searching the archives much easier than looking for stuff on Deviantart. it also loads quicker.
ANYWAY. there's one artist, モレシャン, who does really amazing work. i discovered him while browsing the Soulcalibur offerings (what else lol) and was completely floored, and still am every time i see this kind of hilarious, kind of hot Siegfried fanart:
(i can't make out much of the description on the page, but apparently, the artist considered adding pants but decided against it because bare legs were more fun to draw....? WHICH IS TOTALLY AWESOME, LET'S BE HONEST.
he has lots of other fantastic art, both fan and original - i'm particularly fond of this very sexy Celes Chere pic - though you need to be a Pixiv member to access it. there are tutorials around if you need help navigating the registration pages; just google "pixiv sign up."
