2015-2016 touken art because why not.

[machiyaa]

People worry a lot about their art being ‘good’ and having a ‘style’. ‘Good’ is extremely subjective and style is a constant development that never ends. Make your drawings fun! Have fun drawing them and have fun changing your mind about how you do it.

IMPORTANT POST: PLEASE READ

Can we please stop stealing people’s art without their consent?

Especially Japanese artists?

Because believe or not, when you take a dojinka’s art and post it somewhere else without permission, not only will you make them very sad (not to mention angry) when they find out, but you could cause them some serious legal problems as well. 

I am not lying. Artists are in danger of losing everything they have if distribution of their parody work gets out of hand and the original publishing company gets wind of it (and decides to prosecute). Quite a few artists have already had their lives pretty much ruined because of the thoughtless actions of irresponsible western fans.

The reason why the dojinshi industry and sites like pixiv are even allowed to exist is because of the implicit understanding that artists who make parodies will control and limit the circulation of their digital artwork, and that printed dojinshi will only be made available to a limited audience. When you take an artist’s work and upload it somewhere else, you are taking away that control, and putting them at risk. 

Re-posting art without the artist’s explicit permission is not okay. Adding a source does not get you off the hook either. Neither does not adding a source at all, or saying you don’t know the artist. You took something that wasn’t yours without permission, and that means you stole it. Reblogging and liking such posts only gives re-posters the incentive to steal even more art - making the situation worse for the artist. For the love of god, have the decency to respect the rights of other human beings.

Still not convinced? Then let me take an example of an artist I’m sure you’re all familiar with: emi (of the 10-RANKAI circle).

Thousands of western fans have constantly been stealing her art for years. As a result, not only she has changed her website url multiple times, but has now renamed her circle in an effort to shake off the so-called fans who keep going against her wishes and stealing her work.

Unfortunately, her new url has already been found, and her gallery has been plundered of its copyrighted content. And it seems that re-posters can’t read, because they clearly don’t heed what she says on her site; in FOUR DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, including plain English:

DO NOT UPLOAD MY FANWORKS TO OTHER WEBSITES, COPY AND REPRODUCE THEM, PUBLISH THEM IN FANZINES WITHOUT PERMISSION.

There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to disrespect the wishes of artists like her in this manner. If this continues, she will no doubt block foreign servers from accessing her site, or perhaps even stop sharing her work with others altogether. I’ve seen this happen to so many other artists who couldn’t take this abuse before. 

But pixiv artists don’t say they don’t allow re-uploads on their profiles.

That’s because it’s already prohibited in the terms of use, and they don’t feel the need to repeat it. You can even find it on the help page:

This art theft has gotten so fucking bad, a flipping union has been formed to try and protect amateur artists’ rights. I shit you not (and by the way, emi happens to be a member).

But where will I get my fanart?

You’re free to browse artist’s galleries, save art to your hard drive, and enjoy them at your leisure. Just don’t upload the art. It’s not yours. You have no right. 

But I wanna share awesome pixiv art with my friends.

Then link them to it without re-uploading the damn image. It’s not hard.

But I wanna share art on my online communities.

There are many wonderful artists with tumblr accounts. Look for them, enjoy their work, reblog from them. Your support will inspire them to create more, and encourage other artists to come in (I can’t tell you how many times a tumblr artist has said they won’t make art for the SN/NS fandom because there are too many unscrupulous art thieves in it).

Quite a few Japanese artists are here too (a popular Korean narusasu artist, um-mmma, gets their art re-posted here all the time, yet they actually have a tumblr). You could always learn to draw as well. You might turn out to be good at it. It’s fulfilling to make your own fanwork (and it’ll also help you appreciate the feelings of other creators). If you can’t, you can always just ask artists if you can share their stuff. 

But I don’t know Japanese!

Most pixiv artists have a basic grasp of English. Keep your sentences simple and they can manage. You can always make use of Google translate, and you could also use these templates. It’s not hard, and artists really appreciate it. Why give them headaches when you can make their day?

I asked the artist and they refused/I got no reply.

If the artist hasn’t replied, then do not re-post. If they say no, do not re-post. Ever.

Can’t we be more creative as a fandom and not get by through stealing? Is that how we’re going to support our pairing? Through plagiarism? Are we gonna keep appreciating dreadful thief blogs like sasunaruyaoigirl? Are we that desperate to get notes? Are we gonna keep abusing these artist until pixiv blocks out all foreign access? Tbh, our pairing tags are a fucking eyesore, far worse than almost any other Naruto pairing I’ve ever seen. We’re better than this. It’s possible (not to mention easy) to run a fandom blog without snatching art from somebody else.

STILL NOT CONVINCED?

Educate yo’self with these materials (x) (x).

Good night!

Characters/Pairing: NijiAka 

Challenge: 111, Rarepair Battle

Summary: 4koma NijiAka comic! taking setting in Teikou Arc where Akashi was still 1st year (and Nijimura’s vice captain). In the beginning, Nijimura had already felt strange with Akashi’s left eye that slightly change color and thought he had eyestrain so he brought him to Infirmary and helping to put some eyepatch. 

Notes: I would like to thank my friends who dealing with me whined over the broken pen tablet while I’m working on this. 

Warnings: rough sketchy, ugly handwriting and kinda dumb and not funny. Don’t judge by the cover.

Miyuki Pairings Challenge 2015

Do you love Miyuki Kazuya? Are you interested in his relationships (romantic, friendship, family, other) with different characters?

Then we have a challenge we think you’ll love!

2015 TIMELINE

Sign-ups: 1st - 10th February

Prompts Revealed: 11th February

Posting Period: 1st March – 31st March

ABOUT

The Miyuki Pairings Challenge is a low-key, low-pressure fanworks challenge designed to give writers and artists a chance to explore different Miyuki pairings. 

Please note:

"Pairing" is used here in the old-school sense and only indicates that there is a relationship of some kind between the characters involved. It does not have to be romantic or sexual; all relationship types (friendship, family, rivalry, etc.) are equally welcome.

For the 2015 round, you will be asked to submit a list of 8 characters whose relationship (of whatever kind) with Miyuki you’re interested in. After sign-ups close, a list of prompts will be put up. Each prompt will specify a number and a prompt detail (scenario, dialogue snippet, lyrics, other point of inspiration), e.g. Miyuki and #4 — trapped in an elevator, or, Miyuki and #7 — “you can’t always get what you want”. You can fill as many or as few prompts as you like, as there is no minimum participation requirement.

For more about how the challenge works, please go here.

SIGN-UPS

Sign-ups officially open on 1st of February. For details, go here.

We’re super excited about this and hope some of you are too! Feel free to drop us an ask anytime.

To keep up with the latest on the challenge, please track #miyukipairings or follow this blog.

Happy birthday Kuroko-kun!

Based on kuroko no basuke Opening Seadon 3 (I'm kind of Regret did not do the Thing as the same as akashi since I WAS busy back then) . To say this, I love kuroko Tetsuya as the character I admire the most for his development character from beginning to the end. The person who are sincere, modest towards both people and putting so much effort on his basketball, Someone who value friendship within basketball which is he actually cares about his team and Generation of Miracles in general.

But I would not say Kuroko is an angel. Honestly, as long as I love him he has a flaws, and many things happened when he tried to resolve his own against Generation of Miracles, both in Teikou & Seirin. When first in Seirin , everyone seems just did not know what actually kuroko think and having unemotional looks (surprising people by popped out nowhere). The fact that he was at first, wanted to prove GOM by using Seirin before (since they're also the new team ) was not even a good. But then after got beaten by Touou (Aomine (, he tried to change whole in order to win by admit himself as the part of Seirin Members, re-evaluate his basketball that what important is an actual value of playing with your teammates. Because for him, winning together with your teammates is like something to share achievement together. As if he just wanted to show GOM, his old friends see that flashback when Teikou also used achieved victory with happiness on their second year. I love that kind of strong-willing in Kuroko himself and just how he developed so much! Thank you Fujimaki-sensei for creating such a beautiful-developed protagonist. Kuroko Tetsuya deserve the best. 

And sorry my ramblings sounds so cheesy just / hides .. 

also have some old sketches \o/

[machiyaa]

hiii idk i just really love your drawings!!

OMG.. I barely got any comments of my drawing so I really appreciate this thank you so much! ;~~; ♡♡♡

old drawing on the paper // december 29th.

(and some headcanon of akashi used to text her mother even she's not exist anymore)

THE BASEBALL WHICH KUROKO PLAYS (and as the result for having baseball feels after watching daiya no ace. sobs I’m promise I’ll draw daiya later)

(previous original sketch) I knew before that someone has made baseball! AU before, but I can’t resist developing this stuff again.

Imagine Kuroko as 3rd baseman back in teikou and really good catching ball and stealing base (since he has lack of his presence). Kuroko also has a good sense of baseball which makes akashi recommend him to the first string. Still, Kuroko weaknesses are lack of stamina and didn’t really good at batting (which makes him always use bunt most of the time)
