Japanese Fanart Appreciation Thread
 

I'm a sucker for the fanart you find in Japan, so I'm restarting the thread for it here. Totatota has some cuuute drawings of Mac and Bloo, including Bloo as a real boy and Mac making different faces after the sugar incident. Worth a look!

Well, I don't read anything other than english and german, and if it dosn't at least use the same alphabet I'm totally lost. Could you link directly to the gallery or something?

Just click ENTER, then PICT, then the first five boxes under CN.

Haha, those are really cute! :bloogrin The one that did these great pieces of art did a wonderful job on them. :)

They wre cute. I particuarly like the ones of Mac wrapped up in the blanket...

Oh I LOVE this stuff. The Bloo pics were insanely cute. ^_^
I love the hugging one! Aw. *_*

Those are pretty good! he looks too happy to be on sugar withdrawl, though.

Does anyone else think the Mac pictures look a bit girly? Maybe it's just the hair, but...

I haven't been able to find them, and I'm reluctant to click on a link that I can't read. :(

To the left there's a place where it says CN, under that are five squares, each is a link to a drawing.

I'm seeing no such thing. Sorry.

Yeah, the Japanese have a thing for girly-looking boys...

http://www.geocities.jp/oyoyokakumei/toppage.html has some cute arts for Foster's and other series (Teen Titans, Batman, X-men Evolution)
http://gekiamana.lovesick.jp/newpage30.html also has some cute stuff also (Along with a 1 page comic that seems like Coco is chewing out Bloo or something. I can't read Japanese so I really can't say)

Can I use a resized version of one of these as my avatar?
The drawings rock. Also a lot of Japanese seem to draw N°. 3 from KND...:P

I would e-mail the artist and ask. If they can not read English then I would suggest that you don't use one of their artworks.

You don't really have to do that. As long as you give some kind of credit somewhere.

lol at the mildly hinted at Wilt and Coco pairing. So freaking cute it gave me cavaties.

I've seen some artists who get really mad and take down everything because no one asked to use an image one too many times.

And on the first link I provided the artist even says that 'reusing fanarts in other websites w/o permission is strickly PROHIBITIED'

Here is a link that many of the Japanese fanartists have on their sites: http://www3.to/ofp/

I made my own avatar anyway now in ms paint :P . Thx.

And it is really cute! (makes me think of Earthbound)

Thanks :P It wasn't meant too, actually...
Bloo was done kinda quick and is thus somewhat misshaped :(
Also grats for "Settling in" now, Matchsticks. :)

Thank you so much for the links; I'm a sucker for them too :D Got any more? I'm afraid I don't have much to add on, as those I know of have already been listed.

Sorry, I haven't looked for a while. I don't come here very often but for schedule updates. I'll try to look into it. Frankly, you've got a lot of these J-guys matched, so it doesn't matter too much.

Japanese Fan Artists are great aren't they? They just make the cutest stuff, especially their American 'toon fan art. Love these links, thank you for sharing.

It's off topic but I know a really good Kim Possible Fan Artist from Japan on dA, if you guys want the link I'll gladly send ya it ;)

These are all such great pics. I like the style. While looking at them, I explored a little more and found four other sights with some great Foster's artwork. Thought I'd share them with everyone else. And also instructions on where to find the pictures since non-English websites are set up a tad differently.

This is the sight originally shared. On the left side of the screen in small non-impressive English print, it will say CN and under that Foster's Home. There are now twenty five pictures (it looks like when this thread started there were only five[?]). Each small square and each small diamond is a different picture. Under them is some Japanese writing, and then three more squares and two diamonds. These are ALSO Foster's pictures. Just click on them and the pictures will show up. Under the other CN toward the bottom there are some Codename: KND and Billy and Mandy pictures. :cool:

Ok, on the left side of the screen where it scrolls independently from the rest of the page, in non-impressive English print it will say "Link", "Memo" and "Fanart", and in the bundle of script below that with some "F"s and "H"s and "X"s and under that there are some squares jumbled with the letter "i". It does look kind of scary, but those squares between the "i"s are more Foster's pictures. Click on them. The other squares jumbled with "i"s below them are other fan pics, including a cute one of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

This one is pretty self explanatory, even if you can't read Japanese. Just click on the button below the picture, and a new picture will come up. Keep clicking the button until the button disappears (meaning you've seen all the pictures). There's a nice one of Frankie here! :frankiesmile: You might see a picture two or three times, but keep going. Eventually you should see one of Bloo, Coco, Wilt, Ed, and Frankie. If you didn?t see one of them, for some reason I?ve found hitting the ?Back? button on your browser might bring up pictures you haven?t seen already.

There should be a cute pic of Mac and Bloo as soon as you get to this page, but there's more when you click on the two little dots under the English word "cartoon" to the far left of the screen. Both of those are for Foster's.

http://www.geocities.jp/noplan156/
The B&M gang appear on this page, but there are a bunch of little dots under the English word "log" to the left. Each little dot is a different picture. Not all of these are of Foster's, but they're all pretty cool (and don't worry, they're all perfectly G-rated).

I'd also like to remind everyone that even though we can't read it, I'm sure it states somewhere on each of these pages to NOT use any of the pictures for personal use without getting the artist's permission first. Proper netiquette is the key. I'm sure the artists thank you.

Enjoy! :D

I leave it to you to guess which pic was my favorite. Thanks! :frankiesmile:

I just aww'D at the "We *heart* Converse" one. XDD

Actually, that button's known as a web-clap; I'm not exactly sure what it does either, but I think it's some kind of bump button that says you like this person's site or etc. Clicking on it multiple times doesn't let you "see" all the pictures; it's just a code written in to provide a new picture every time a person reloads that page. :P Not that clapping multiple times is a bad thing though, heh.

The url for the clap images are ~~~/clap1.gif where ~~~ is the person's webpage, just change the numeral at the end. :D

Yeah, me too! That was a great cross-over pic there! I loved the "Christmas Caroling Wilt" pic by that same artist. It's pretty clear that he's really popular in Japan. My favorite has got to be that "Alien Wolf 3 T-Rexatron: A Prequel In Time: The Unrelenting" pic with that swashbuckling Wilt, though! I just wish that I could read some of the artists' comments.
