voices silently sing ♪

I've been searching for some pictures for a few days now and coming up kind of empty, so I was hoping maybe someone here could help! (If this isn't the place to ask, just let me know!)

I'm looking for some pictures of Kurogane in his hakama from the Ohto (Oto/Outo?) world. I'm planning a cosplay, but I can't find any good reference pictures! ;_;

Any help would be vastly appreciated!

This is the 258th challenge. It’s the same as always -- theme, lyric, and image. You can enter up to 2 icons for this challenge.

Theme

The theme for this challenge is Texture. If you decide to do this theme, you must use this texture: You can edit, color, crop, rotate, resize, etc. the texture, -- be as creative as you want -- but the texture should be somewhat identifiable.

Okay, so J-pop had announced they're going to reprint 'X' in Italy.
Why anyone out of Italy should care about this?
Apparently J-pop had been assured by Kadokawa and CLAMP's manager the series will be finished soon, or at least in time not to force J-pop to pause while printing it (which would mean, according to the tentative schedule given, that they need the new volumes ready for 2012... end of the world anyone? -_-).

Now, although this is a great new, I would like to know if someone can confirm J-pop's declaration about CLAMP being finally ready to end 'X'.
So, does anyone know something?

I'm not sure if this post is allowed. If not I apologize.

Somewhat spoilery, but nothing 'new'--- The 2nd Tsubasa artbook was released this week. The bloggers have confirmed the 2 extra comics included in the artbook are the 2 Horitsuba omakes that were released in Shonen Magazine's Dragon Special; the Xmas cake and New Year's stories. :/

Please comment in the original post as I (still) do not get LJ notifications! (Yes, LJ hates me that much!)

With great amusement, people at 2ch have noticed a recently released shoujo version of Death Note called "Hal" (pronounced Haru, like Halle Lidner).
The main girl looks like a female (and shoujo style) version of Light, and she meets a shinigami (bishounen this time) in very similar circumstances. The plot seems to also involve she wanting to kill people with the help of her shinigami.

If you scroll down in the link I posted above, you'll find bigger versions of the pages. I'm not an expert in the first arc, but I think that some of those panels look really similar to some Light and Ryuuk scenes. The Shinigami is also seen reading Jump magazine in one of the panels.

Okay, time for a post we never had, I'd say...

PICSPAM ME, GUYS

Basically I have no idea what to icon for my next iconpost (besides Code Geass, Fire Emblem 8 and maybe Tales of series). So I'm asking you - please, link me to galleries/screencaps/fanartists on pixiv/fanart sites/sites of artists/stock photos/whatever you want me to icon, and I'll do my best to do it! Sooner or later, when I'm not being screwed by work/school backlog. But. AT SOME POINT.

rules:

❀ If you link me to a piece of fanart without the source, I won't even touch it. I give credit for a reason.
✿ Some sources might be used in the next post.
❀ I'll credit the people who supply me with images.*
✿ If you link me to a site, I won't icon every single piece of artwork there.
❀ I don't do not-animated TV series/movies/bandom icons. Stock and fashion is okay, though.
✿ If you link me to screencaps: the higher quality, the better.
❀ No guro/NSFW material, please.

Thank you in advance! ♥

Here @ xxpyrography

We have 5 wonderful icons for the Lyrics theme, thanks to those who were able to submit. And now it's time for all available members to cast their votes. Please vote if you can, whether you submitted an icon or not, as the more votes we receive ensures more accurate results. Every last vote makes a difference so I'd really appreciate it if you could take the time to cast yours.

And remember that the vote you cast earns you one ballot for November's Voter of the Month contest.

To vote leave a screened comment to this post with the numbers of your 'first, second and third' choice icons that you feel are best overall, in that order because that is how the points will be awarded. Here is an example of the proper voting format. Just make sure I can differentiate which of the three chosen icons are first, second and third:

First: 45
Second: 72
Third: 36

Or like this:

45,72,36


Voting Rules
'Do's'
- You must be a member to vote, one ballot per member (excludes multiple accounts)
- You must vote for a total of three icons (no more, no less) or your vote will be discarded
- Vote for the best/most appropriate icons overall, not your favourite series/character/etc.

'Do Not's'
- Do not vote for your own icon or feel obligated to vote for your friend's icon
- Don't vote for an icon more than once... I'm not sure why you would, but just in case
- Do not reveal your entry until voting is closed or pressure people to vote for you
- Do not create multiple fake accounts to cheat, I check IP adresses and account status

If you accidently vote for the wrong number of icons, vote for the same icon twice or vote for a non-existant entry then I will reply to your comment asap and give you a chance to revote. Otherwise if you break one of the rules chances are your vote will be discarded and/or, depending on the offence, your icon may face disqualification. It is at my discretion to discard suspicious votes.

( Hope in their hearts )

Voting will close Monday, November 15th at 7:00 AM EST in the morning (I have to be at work for 8:00 AM >.<) and no late votes will be accepted afterwards, so please vote by then. A public comment will be appended to the voting post as close to the deadline as possible to signify this. Once voting is closed, you are free to publically display/distribute your entry as it will have no impact on the results. Winners will be announced sometime after depending on my schedule.

--------------------

A new challenge has already been announced at this post, the theme is CLAMP Deck Names.

In honour of our recent affiliation with tcg_exchange, the theme for Week 261 is CLAMP Deck Names. You may submit two different CLAMP icons, provided they each clearly feature the name of one of the decks listed below. You are only allowed to use the one word on your icon, with the exception of tinytext or decorative text brushes that are not meant to be read. You do not have to pair the deck name with the character or series it is already associated with, though you may if you wish.

( the deck names )

Check this post for a list of some CLAMP titles, as well as gallery links. And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for November's Submitter of the Month contest as well as a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.

Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon, url, series and character names (or object/location description instead, if applicable). Also include any additional information and/or specific resource credits that you may have used.

I have exciting news guys for anyone that may be interested: clamp_icontest is now affiliated with tcg_exchange! TCG Exchange is an online graphic based trading card game where you can collect and trade cards from various anime, manga and video game series. More detailed information is provided within the community itself.

There are many decks to choose from (including lots of CLAMP themed ones) and many different ways to earn cards, but the main way is by participating in affiliated communities. Now that we're one of them, you can add to your collection through the following:

Submission: Submitting one icon will earn you two random cards. Submitting two icons will earn you two random cards and one choice card

Voting: Voting will earn you one random card

Winning: First place will receive two random cards and 1 c cert. Second place and below will receive one random card. Moderator's choice will receive no cards

If you are already a member of tcg_exchange then all you need to do is keep participating here then leave a comment at our official claims post (link to follow once it's up) to receive your reward(s). If you're not a member then you can sign-up here to get started. I just joined recently myself and it's a lot of fun so far I promise!

Oh and feel free to leave a comment here with a link to your card post so that other members can find and trade with you, this is mine :P

----------

P.S. There is still a little bit of time left to submit an icon or two to the current lyrical challenge if you wish. However, I don't believe that prize claims take effect until next week's theme and subsequent submission etc. post is up, so don't expect any cards for entering or voting this time around unless I hear otherwise...
