Ragnarok Online: Acolyte

I have to take leave of my wish do draw Ragnarok Online doujinshi.

Realization of the story would take at least one year, but during this time the subject becomes outdated and irrelevant. I’m sorry, but there is no time, to do all desired things at once. This inner farewell gave rise to some thoughts about fanworks at all.

It is widely believed that fanart is on lower level of art than original works are, and many people have no respect for fanworks.

Pixiv on English

June 8th, 2009 at 03:28 pm

Pixiv is pretty place for anime artists and for those who love good pictures, but absence of English version of this site is really inconvenient thing.
I’ve read on Wikipedia that “An English-language version, however, is considered to be the lowest in terms of priority.”, googled “Pixiv English guide”, and found some translations, but they are mainly about registration and explain only Pixiv basics. Remembering how I was complicated with every new menu item or link, I wanted to make more detailed guide. At least, it is for my friends I would like to see there.
This guide includes detailed translation of Pixiv pages and script for Firefox that changes text of Pixiv menu items from Japanese to English.
Hope, it will be useful.
