a collective of Japanese fanartists is putting out a Soulcalibur illustration book:
http://now-printing.com/sc4/only the cover and a few sample pics are available for perusal right now.
most of them are borderline-softcore porn, (belated warning: the cover is basically an Amy-upskirt shot - she's got shorts underneath, but
still) but there are some less-risque action-pose pics too.
there's also an intriguing pic of what looks like a female version of Nightmare.
it looks like it will be released on the 31st. there's no way to put in a preorder, and while there's no shipping information that i can find, i doubt they'd ship outside Japan - though third-party sites like Rinka might be able to deliver it eventually.
might be worth keeping an eye on, if you have the means to get it.
***i lol'ed about this in
capslock_ff already, but this is so awesomely bad it needs to be shared MOAR. in the FFX section of ff.net there is this mind-boggling summary:
'"What are you? My forty year old stalker?" "I resent that," He answered offended before mumbling his next line. "I'm only thirty-five." A modern day aurikku/sub coupling tuna'SUB COUPLING TUNAyou don't even need to play the game to know
something is terribly wrong here.ANYWAY. in response, somebody posted an even more lollerskatin' summary from aff.net:
"BEING A WHORE ALL HIS LIFE, RENO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE."
"BEING A WHORE ALL HIS LIFE." ppppffffffftttt OP also made the EXCELLENT observation that all fanfic summaries would be improved immeasurably if they started with 'being a whore all his/her life.' it's like adding '...in bed!' to the end of a fortune cookie, but with 100x more lulz!
NATURALLY i had to try this with the SC section.
( SUDDENLY WHORES )
