This is no ordinary gallery, so allow me to explain: this is actually a collection of illustrations drawn collaboratively on 2ch, in a sort of game or interactive art. They are most moesome.
The basic flow is that the kind artist will start a thread, and request a situation or design, and then specify which reply’s suggestion will be used (e.g. >>5, the fifth post in the thread gets to specify), triggering a flurry of posts to try to get the specified response.
After this, the artist will come back and post the illustration asked for, and then specify the next reply, and this continues until the thread maxes out at 1000. This can take a few days.
Since seeing how what’s asked for translates into an illustration is rather interesting, I’ll also provide the relevant replies. There are three threads, so I’m going to present one here, and the rest in a pool on Sankaku Channel. There are plenty more there.
“An ‘onnya no ko’ with a fluttering skirt and drooping dog ears.”
“A fox-eared girl wearing a pair of low-leg pantsu!”
“A naked mouse-eared girl wearing a doctor’s coat.”
“A pro-shoot aniki.” (!?)
This took some arranging, eventually this was trotted out:
(What was meant:)
“Lilith Elron.”
神のみの栞 (I gave up on this).
“A nekomimi-ko wearing a thin white one-piece dress and a straw hat. I’d like it if the outline of her body was visible…”
“Satsuki Yumitsuka.”
“Pop ‘n’ music’s Σ.”
“Sanya.” (Strike Witch)
“A bob cut and a sports bra and striped pantsu. With usamimi (rabbit ears).”
“Fujiwarano Mokou.” (Touhou character)
“A silver haired wolf and a yukionna (snow fairy).”
When told that what was meant was more a fusion of the two, he came out with this:
“Bloomer tanuki-mimi with short sleeves.”
“A fox-eared miko with big ears.”
Omake:
This sort of game is not itself so very uncommon, but what I would say is rather uncommon is artist of evident skill going about this. The illustrations really are very nice, I think you’ll agree. The artist is an anonymous Vipper, so I’m afraid no further information is forthcoming.
They truely are moe… Mind telling me where to play this game? I want to see a cat eared dokuro-chan in her angel clothes.
By the looks of things it’s played in the middle of the night on various random 2ch boards… getting one of the designated posts looks to be an excercies in frustration.
I came upon another interesting one which I will likely post at some point too. There are some quite dire examples as well, however…
awww and i was looking forward to it… >_< i cant stay up to late mainly due to my need to wake up early for work and school.
At first I was like “Meh, this is pretty WIN.” then I saw Sacchin, and this officially became FUCKWIN.
This artist draws such moesome illustrations. :3 Too bad that he/she didn’t give a name or site.
This reminds me of the drawing threads 4chan sometimes has, except that everyone there requests weird porn. (Solid Snake and a calorie mate anyone?)
It’s amazing that some freelance artists can just take a simple concept (taken from the requester) and create an piece of art like that…
I just wish we had them on 4chan… then again, the environment’s too difficult for such people to exist in?
