Take a look at the reverse Romeo & Juliet scene.....you'll know what I mean.

 


I only joined the VK fandom some time later, so I don't have the very first LaLas, but if my information is correct,
in a little over a week, VK will hit the 5 years anniversary mark since the manga started running in LaLa. :D
I checked the official sites in Japan, and as of now there's no official celebrations planned for the five years (;-; *whimpers*), but being the obsessed fan I am, I feel the need to mark the occasion, even though I'm still somewhat swamped right now... XD;

Would anyone be interested in celebrating together too? :D
I was thinking we (the fandom as a whole, internationally) could do some sort of group project or something: As fans, we'd create fanworks (fanarts/fanfiction/amvs/etc.) to celebrate and show our love for VK, and post all our various creations on the 24rth, which is the official date for the magazine. X3

More ramblings on the whole idea this way on my LJ. ^^/

shirayuri_hazu and I are so excited to bring you a brand new manga series called "Crimson Empire" by QuinRose. Please join us HERE to read the first chapter of this series.

Was doodling this as I was listening to Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment"

Sorry for the poor image quality. I took the sketch with my camera phone which apparently is light sensitive. Thus, the scratchy pic.

This is my first VK fanart, so please don't flame me if you don't like it. :)

 

In a join effort for the love of Zero and Kaname (and of the lovely yaoi with them XD),
here's a collaboration pic I did with Raisin-Mucchin, also known as LeaNicolaie. :D

Click if you'd like to see the pic (on my LJ). ^^/

*hopes you'll enjoy the pic if you like Zero & Kaname* :D♥

 

I've been playing around on Facebook's app Buddy Poke, and decided to make Kaname-tama. Here are some images I've managed to come up with.

I colored Juri-sama this time, I really like her. (And basically I like the result too :))
But please, give me some constructive critism, I want to improve my coloring skills... So what's you opinion about that?:

I am selling my copy of the Vampire Knight manga. If you're interested in buying it, follow the link here.

 

My latest VK fanart is a bit bloody... ^^;

Preview:


Vampire Knight fanart: Wings of a Butterfly
Warning: Blood & nudity.

Kaname Kuran as the embodiment of a butterfly with its wings torn out...

I drew this as a metaphor for the way Kaname grew up under the control of the elders from the vampire council, forced to submit to their will for almost 10 years, to not risk the frail peace of Yuuki's 'boxed garden'...
So it's a pretty angsty pic, but I wanted to convey that metaphor through something that's both beautiful and haunting at once, such as a butterfly, but with its beauty and innocence (wings) torn out.

Despite the tragic nature of such a pic, I'm happy with how it came out looking. I think it's my best pic ever, maybe. ^^


If blood and nudity in art don't bother you, here it is: art + wallpapers this way.

*hopes you enjoy the pic despite its bloodiness* ^^/ ♥

 

I have way too much junk... and in order to start 2010 cosplays, I must part with old ones. Costumes include series from Blood+, Code Geass, Hetalia, Princess Tutu, Shugo Chara, Tales of the Abyss, Vampire Knight and Yu-Gi-Oh. There are many styles and colors of wigs available. I only accept Paypal and shipping is within the United States only. I am also willing to make offers. All costumes fits small - medium women's sizes (mostly between a size 10-12). Please supply me with your zip code if you are interested in a costume so I can calculate the final cost. I also apologize in advance for the horrible pictures.

( Costumes )

Hi everyone! Need some money so I'm selling my VK sheets. I've got both Zero and Kaname available, one of each. Sheets only. They are still sealed, never opened and in perfect condition. If you're interested, please make an offer. (No low-balling, please. I have a figure in mind.) Highest offer will get it, if it in the ballpark of what I have in mind.

Shipping will be via Priority Mail + Delivery Confirmation in the U.S. and either First-Class or Priority for international. I can fit both sheets inside a Priority Mail flat-rate envelope and ship for $5.60 in the U.S., or $12.95 international ($10.95 for Canada/Mexico).

PayPal only. 8% credit/debit in the U.S., 10% non-U.S.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate one of our long-time members naokosuki who will be marrying her beloved "Shin" in a couple of days. I wish them both much joy, love and happiness always!

EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.

Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!

Thanks mhwest and dnewhall for helping out!

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

I finally finished off my KanaKi fanart =_=.... Hope fans enjoy it.  Due to my tablet going wonky, I couldn't quite get the visual effect I wanted to T.T. Comments and critique welcomed :)
I'm gonna make it into my desktop wallpaper XD

( Behind the cut for larger version >.> )

What is Kaname’s hair color? Dark brown or black? Which one you prefer? I have always thought that it is a bit darker than Yuuki’s, but I can’t decide which one I like more. I think both colors are just fine.

Then what about Zero’s hair? Silver-ish? Totally white?

Is Kaname…

a)      a)  Yuuki’s brother with same blood as hers? I mean… Is Juri his mother?

b)      b) Reincarnated first Kuran that has been raised as Yuuki’s brother, but he’s not his _real_ brother?

c)      c) First Kuran in Yuuki’s brother’s body? And the real brother is like… dead, or his soul is hidden in somewhere?

d)      d) Or something else?

Bonus question, because I am so curious (and hoping for more VK anime)…

How popular is Vampire Knight in Japan and other countries? VK isn’t published where I live, sadly.

Super bonus question!

What kind of ending you don’t want to see? Zeki ending? Yuuki and Kaname ending? Someone dies? All live happily ever after?

What kind of ending would be perfect?

Answers make me happy! Hugs for everyone that help me solve these mysteries! :) Sorry for my english, it's 1:16 am here and I should be in bed, but I can't sleep cause I think about these things. :D
