I forgot to announce here - finally I published manga digitally at Booth!

It includes two short manga of mine from the old doujinshi "October Draconids" published in 2011. They have been largely revised and colored.
Sorry in advance, that dialogues are in Japanese, and there are censorships by law. If it is okay to you, please check it out! :)

It's been quite a while since I had last post on FA...
After my trip to Anthrocon, I had worked hard for my doujinshi for several months to publish at "Fur-st 2",October 9, but just a few days before the event, I was hospitalized suffering from Pneumomediastinum. That was one of the most miserable period in my entire life T_T

I think I completely cured without operation now. I want to restart drawing and posting pics to FA. And the pending doujinshi, featuring Ramuné and Faolan, will be published at "Fur-st 3", March 20 2012. Subsequently it will be available at a online bookstore :)

2012 is the Year of the Dragon. I wish the coming new year will be a lucky one.

This year again, I'm going to go to Pittsburg from June 24 to 27 to attend Anthrocon!
I'll be staying at Westin with fursuiter/arter friends, and bring another small furry dragon instead of big Ramuné :)

Accompanying friends:  eixin / Yoogn / Yu Tashiro

I'm looking forward to see you again!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Happy holidays! I haven't seen you for a long time...
Now I'm working for the next doujinshi, so I won't be able to post any artworks to FA until April. Sorry about that >__<

I joined in the full-color doujinshi "METAMORPHOSE", themed on fursuits and artworks.
It includes Ramuné's arts and photos :)
It will be sold at　Alicebooks, the Japanese doujinshi online shop.

Overseas shipping will also be available soon!

It's been a really hot summer! Yesterday the temperature reached 38 degrees in Tokyo...
Well, Summer Comiket was happily over, so it's about time for us to prepare for Winter Comiket and furry-only events:

The biggest furry convention in Japan "Kemocon" will be held again this year, on November 20, 2010.
http://www.kemocon.com/
The biggest fursuit dance event in Japan "METAMOR GENERATION: CONTACT" will take place March 19 2011.
http://www.metamor.jp/
And also, the pioneering furry-only marketplace in Japan, "Fur-st", is scheduled for March 20 2011.
http://fur-st.com/

These events sound fantastic and I'll be definitely attending them all!

I'm going to AC on the 25th through the 27rd!
Though it's too bad I cannot bring you my furry dragon, I'm looking forward to see you XD

I'll be staying at Westin with my Japanese fursuiter friends.
I'll tweet via rental mobile Wi-fi router, basically in Japanese, occasionally in English.
If you want to find me, my tweet would help that.
http://twitter.com/kitoradragon

* I've got an Attending Membership of Anthrocon!
Though I haven't made any reservation for hotel rooms or flights yet, I'll be able to stay there for two or three days this year ^__^
This year I'll make sure I wear my conbadge so that you can find me easily.

* I've been making a fursuit since the end of last year. He, which I haven't named yet, is my new furry dragon character, and (unfortunately) his body isn't huge like my existing dragons. Estimated month of completion would be... about May :)

* My next doujinshi will be published in December, though the details are completely undecided. If the project is successful, it will be sold also abroad early in the next year.

* Please don't ask me about art request, comission, and selling "Fleaky Planet" abroad. My answer is "I'm sorry I can't do it".

I'm sorry for absence for a long time...
Things have been busy for the last several months, starting to calm down a bit now and I'm back to FA =)
From now I will upload some pics and reply to short message in sequence.

*I'm not still taking commissions/trades, sorry.

*Here is the very-belated reports of North America trip in this summer (written Japanese, as always):
http://dragon.vorwarts.com/blog/arc...../0628_1248.php

I'm still alive, but continuously very busy...
I think this will be one of the few occasions of overseas travel in my whole life.
I'm really looking forward to attending at Anthrocon and say hello to you there ≧ω≦

*After returning to my homeland, I'll resume working hard for my doujin work.
So unfortunately, I may not reply to you until the middle of August.

>Where are you staying?
Doubletree.

>What day are you getting there?
In the afternoon of Friday, July 3, I guess.

>Who will you be with?
Secret! <3

>Do you do free art?
Yes, but I want to use a graphics tablet :)
...honestly, I'm not good at doing sketch with pencil and ink pen.

>Do you do trades?
ditto.

>Do you do commissions?
Not this time, sorry.

>Do you have prints/ CDs?
Yes, some copies of Megaton Dragon will be available at Clubstripes' table.
But supplies are very limited.

>Do you do badges?
Err, badges..?

>Will you have Art in the Art Show?
No.

>Are you taking any fursuits?
No.

>What is your gender?
I apologize in advance that real Kitora is not a herm.

>Are you taken?
Not yet! >3

>Can I talk to you?
Of course! My English is very poor, though.
I'm glad if you speak grammatical English at a slow speed.

>Can I touch you?
If you can! >3

>Can I hang out with you?
That depends.

>How can I find you?
I think it's difficult for you to find me because real Kitora is not fat and pink with spiky blonde hair.
...well, I think I'll be wearing a black jacket or polo.

>Other cons I may go to:
Comic market 76
August 16, Tokyo, Japan

Thank you so much for waiting.
"Megaton Dragon" will soon be available online at Clubstripes.com!
http://shop.clubstripes.com

- The day will be, March 15(PST, I guess).
- These are limited to stock on hand, and are sold on a first-come-first-served basis.
- The price includes the consignment fee and the shipping cost from Japan to the US. The shipping cost to you isn't included in the price.
- I think there is a need to create a login profile to order it.
I'm afraid I cannot answer to the further questions, such as, how to buy it, or when to get it, except for the book itself, sorry.

I'm relieved to hear the box was arrived there safely ^__^; I'm really thankful for the Club Stripes  clubstripes!

[updated March 17, JST]added underlined part.
and it's available for sale NOW! XD
http://shop.clubstripes.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=128
I participated in a full marathon on Sunday. I'm very tired out, so I cannot reply to your questions individually now. sorry.

If the conditions are met, I'm going to be at Anthrocon 2009!

I've ever been to Mitteleuropa but never been to North America yet, so I also wanna see many other cities: Vancouver, Banff, Chicago, Washington DC, New York (and more??)

Er, what I should do next is... making a reservation(s) of Pittsburgh's hotel? or making money? (´･ω･`)

Anyway, I hope to see you there in July!
Though I'm afraid I'll be almost alone during the trip, I wish I'll have a good time.

I'm going to go back to my snowy hometown, Shimane, from today to Jan 13.

It's been a long time! ^__^
I've worked on making an X-rated manga for contributing to a certain doujinshi being published at the Winter Comiket, and that was done this Monday.
(unfortunately, the doujinshi will not be able to be shipped overseas, I guess.)

I'm kind of tired... but satisfied. After taking a rest for a while, I'll reply to some PMs and emails. I know, I have to resume talks about Megaton Dragon's consignment, too. Hopefully it will be available on some online store, in January or February.

Domo!
I'm afraid I haven't logged into FA for a long time, and I couldn't upload any pictures of mine for months...

Well, the first printing of my third doujinshi "Megaton Dragon", prepared for domestic, has been instantly sold out^__^;
So, I'm planning to reprint it in January 2009.
The way of overseas shipping is still under consideration for now, though...

And now I'm slightly busy catching up on the next work.
I'll come back when things have calmed down >w<

First of all, I greatly thank those who helped and supported FA's rebirth, from Tokyo.
Congratulations!

I'm very happy to meet you, too XD

And yeah, just days ago I survived hard working and editing of the third dojinshi of mine:
"MEGATON DRAGON" -- X-rated comic book including massive/muscular/colossal/heavyweight dragons/dragonewts X3

The copies of them will be sold at Comic Market 74 on 17 August.
After that, I think I'll be able to offer you some copies for overseas shipment, though it's written in Japanese.

I'll participate in the 3rd day of Comiket 74, which is planned for August! This will be my third participation as a seller (circle), in two years.
I'd like to welcome you on the occasion of your visit to Japan, and Comiket ^_^

And now I'm intent on drawing and making comic(s). So I'm afraid I'll be less active on FA for a while.
I hope you'll wait until then :)

From Thu to now, I've translated many parts of FA's UI through the free webservice "Japanize". http://japanize.31tools.com/

It provides the function to localize the UI of websites written in English into Japanese.
The user simply install the plug-in or add-on on their browsers, then visit foreign website, and it is automatically translated into Japanese by referring each translation database created under participatory development.

Here are some screenshots :D
http://dragon.vorwarts.com/blog/arc....._sample_01.gif
http://dragon.vorwarts.com/blog/arc....._sample_02.gif
http://dragon.vorwarts.com/blog/arc....._sample_03.gif

But unfortunately, some sentences couldn't be replaced into translated one... It was mainly because there are some inappropriate contiguous spaces, breaks or tab characters between start tag and end tag in FA's source code.

Anyway, I hope more and more talented Japanese artists would join in FA by using this plug-in.
...New account registration has been temporarily suspended, though :P
