I’m at it again, with another contest! This one is brought to you by Collateral Damage Studios!
Collateral Damage Studios recently announced their upcoming Madoka Illustration Anthology release, which I am a guest artist for. So what better way to bring attention to it than with a contest!
You may remember a while ago I posted a video painting of Touhou’s Marissa VS Black Rock Shooter’s White Rock Shooter on youtube. (if not, video below).

It was actually a piece requested by CDS for me to be a guest artist for their long anticipated doujinshi project Starry Night.
CDS sent me two complementary copies of the published doujinshi featuring my piece, plus their awesome Little Busters artbook.
As you can see, the artwork is quite nice! The book in the middle is the “Special Thanks” edition, both front and back feature a Touhou character and Black Rock Shooter character, and is a sleeve over the regular edition (shown on the far right).
Why two copies? One is for me to give away to one lucky reader, of course!
Contest Time!
The lucky winner will receive one Standard Edition (the one on the very right), with my autograph on my guest piece. To enter this contest, fill in the word bubbles to make a funny comic using this 4-koma that CDS created a while back for their K-On book:
right-click save!
You can either enter your text right on it and email me the jpg, or you can send me an email with what you want in the bubbles. Just make sure the text will fit!! It doesn’t have to relate to the comic too much. It just has to be entertaining/funny.
The entries will then be posted on my facebook page at a later date for everyone to vote for a winner!
Just so everyone knows, the prize is NOT AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE PURCHASE. It’s exclusive to local purchase via Singapore anime conventions only! So this is a rare item for everyone else!
But wait!!! There are MORE PRIZES TO BE WON!!!
I will be giving away 5 high-quality, signed 8.5×11 prints of the Marissa VS White Rock Shooter to 5 random people do one of two things (or both if you want more entries).

So do you like CDS’s artwork? I like it a lot, and am very delighted to be a guest artist in their latest artbook. You may have seen a couple of hints here and there on the project, but finally, I can reveal what I have drawn.
It was definitely a lot of work, and a lot of fun. The idea came to me quite suddenly. I asked myself who was one of the more popular characters, and Mami just kinda stuck.
I had thought about doing a headless horseman type illustration (teehee), but figured I already did a rather dark illustration with Starry Night.
So I thought it would be nice to have Mami talk shop with another gun-welding favorite of mine; Noel Vermillion. I think Noel’s blushing and nervous because she’s in the presence of such big and beautiful breas… er guns! yes, guns!

Now my new favorite drawing. It’s my wallpaper! 😀
Hope you enjoyed the video! Don’t forget to enter the contest, and visit CDS’s website!
Contest ends in two weeks! (August 31st, Pacific Time)
This is spectacular!!! I’m breathless by how beautiful this piece is! I can see that you definitely took your time on this one, but the end result was well worth it. 🙂
I’m still new at seeing the work that CDS has done. But taking that they have artists of this caliber, there’s no doubt in my mind that their work is awesome :). It must be a big honor to be a guest artist with them!
For the video, it’s so good and there’s so much professionalism shown here. Not to mention that there are a TON of lessons you can learn just from this one image/video. From planning, to structure, to coloring, to cleaning and finalizing the drawing. Your level in artistic creativity and production, my friend, is my new life-long goal :).
Seriously buddy, thanks for taking the time to record its creation. This is now your top artwork I’ve seen as far as I’m concerned :).
You’ve outdone yourself on this one :).
I’ll catch you later on Facebook and other media platforms. This video has earned the place of staying my Youtube channel front page if you don’t mind :).
Take care buddy! And get some rest if you can :). This piece is just awesome!
P.S. I will ‘DEFINITELY’ be entering this contest! 😉

Thanks Jason! I’m glad you liked the end result. I look forward to your entry! 😀
Wonderful artworks, especially that Madoka anthology. Very nice! O.O
For the contest, I’ll try and enter if I can come up with something creative or witty. ^^; But, in any case, thank you for having this contest and good luck to everyone! (:
Thanks Punynari! I would love to see an entry from you! 😀
Sorry it’s been so long since I last posted (though I’ve been keeping up with the posts). You’ve produced yet another wonder work of art, and I’m willing to bet the upcoming ones will be even better as your skill continues to increase!
I might try to take a stab at this contest, though I’m not sure how well the outcome of my submission would be…
There’s no way to know until you try! Look forward to seeing your entry as well.
I have some of the pics of the BRS vs Touhou one on the book photo you had saved on my comp, never knew it was by collateral. Maybe that’s how I encountered the pic at first, can’t remember. But nice man, nice. Where is the doujinshi group located at? Cause I’m pretty sure North America doesn’t have any doujinshi group.
wait, never mind. they’re the guys from Singapore that you were telling about last time. thought they were a different group. i still find it amazing you somehow made connections with Singapore despite being in Canada, pretty damn awesome. 🙂
I’ve been corresponding with them online for a while. One of their staff is apparently a big fan of my work. I didn’t know this until I met him while attending AFA. Since then we’ve been keeping in closer touch and try to help each other out whenever we can.
There were a few guest artists for that book, myself included. I believe the piece opposite of mine is also from a guest artist, so not really affiliated with CDS.
Can you enter more than one of the K-On! Strip?
Sorry, only one entry is allowed. There’s already been an influx of entries already. Plus more entries would just thin out your odds of winning. Not a good idea. You can however, replace one of your entries if you come up with a better one.
Nice idea for a contest, would totally want to enter as well – I think i’ll have to have a sit down and have a think about this one haha
Artwork is stunning as always!
I cannot WAIT for your entry. I love your animated comics.
Oh man I love those two drawings, I don’t know which one I like more. Touhou crossovers are cool.
I remember that Noel picture from Facebook it’s nice to see the complete picture. I think it might be one of my favorites.
Got my submission ready, I hope you will feature the other entries on a post besides the winning one.
Thanks for submitting!
It seems that this Noel/Mami crossover is a new favorite to a lot of people, which I’m glad to hear, since I put in so many hours into it lol! I will continue to improve my craft…
OMGWTFBBQ ARTBOOK!!!!!! urghallglgllsldfadf *foams at the mouth while flailing around wildly*
Not only am I self proclaimed crazy cat lady, but I am also an artbook whore – So I will definitely enter this contest! And maybe the other one if I feel up to it.
*too many things at once makes her dizzy*
aw yea! EXCLUSIVE ITEM!!
Thanks for your entry, enjoy PAX! 😀
Ah, I’ve never been good with creativity, but I’ll try to think of something for the captions.
If I were a girl, I would be nervous around those big guns too. I’m guessing the pancakes on Kyubey’s head were inspired by the pancake bunny?
I look forward to your entry. It’s the last day for it!
And yes, you’re right, Oolong the pancake bunny!
These are super cool prizes. Too bad I missed it.
Mami!!! So where can I get this Madoka Illustration Anthology? <3
Collateral Damage Studios sells it. Just email them on their website, and you can buy it from them.
