*********************************

EDIT: I printed a few extra copies, so people who missed the chance to reserve at pre-orders can still get one! Only 17 books left and a couple badges and keychains though, first come first served!

*********************************

We've finished this project and all pre-ordered goods were shipped this week. We did better than I was expecting, so thanks thanks and thanks to everyone who shared the info about the preorders, who bought our fanbook, and specially thanks to everyone who collaborated with their illustrations and patiently and compassionately dealt with me and my personal problems and all the bad luck we had with the printers and everything else that delayed this project so much. I really am thankful.

Flowing Stars started as a project to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the saga, although after some problems and a long hiatus, it's now the 21st anniversary instead! Please read all the info if you are interested! (P.D.: the promo pictures incorrectly say "21th anniv." but we corrected it for "21st anniv" in the final book!)

If you wish to help us promote this project, here you have posts to share on Tumblr Twitter

 

I'm CarmenMCS (aka Lunamaria Estel)

I'm one of the participating artists and the admin in charge. You can talk to me on Tumblr / Twitter too, but please contact me about the book through my e-mail if possible!

Over 40 artists from 15 different countries joined forces to bring you more than 70 illustrations in this book! The benefits will go to sending the book for free to as many of the participants as possible (we already agreed on which artists will have priority and why).

HOW TO ORDER:

- You need paypal to make the transaction -unless you have a bank account in Spain-. 

- You will have to agree to tell me your full REAL name and full address (with CP and country).

- Choose the items you want (Go to the last section "SPECIAL PACKS" for more details).

- Don't forget to check the "PRICE OF SHIPPING" section: you can choose standard or certified mail.

- E-mail me with the details and any questions you have (please find my e-mail in the pictures, I do this to avoid spam from bots and the likes)

- In the "shipping price" I already include paypal fees, cost of bubble wrapped envelope and all those little extra expenses.

- The prices listed here are only for packages weighting between 100gr-500gr. Shipping cost of anything within that range is always the same, and the package can contain in total: 1 copy of the book (around 230gr), a couple of keychains (25-35gr each) and some badges (5gr each). For bigger packages, discuss it with me (e-mail is in the images)

*** SHIPPING TO EUROPE (Zone 1 except Spain) ***

- Standard mail 8.30 € + price of the book/pack

- Certified mail 11.15 € + price of the book/pack

 *** ALL OTHER COUNTRIES ***

- Standard mail 11.85 € + price of the book/pack

- Certified mail 14,70 € + price of the book/pack

*** SHIPPING WITHIN SPAIN (+ Canarias + Andorra) ***

- Standard mail 4.10 € (if you pay with paypal) + price of the book/pack

- Certified mail 6.60 € (if you pay with paypal) + price of the book/pack

* If you're attending Japan Weekend of Barcelona, Suikoden Day in Barcelona, etc. you can get the book at the con, so you don't need to pay the shipping or other fees!



I'm also selling keychains and badges in a pack with the book. I felt really bad about the expensive shipping cost, so I at least wanted to offer you the possibility of "filling up" that 500gr package with some of my fanmade merchandise (the book itself is only around 230gr)

- 1 Book + 1 Keychain + 2 Badges = 13€ + SHIPPING 

- Only book = 6€ + SHIPPING

- Only 1 Keychain = 6€ + SHIPPING

- 6 Badges = 5€ + SHIPPING

*** If you only order keychains and/or badges without book, the price for 0-50gr and 50-100gr packages range from 2.57€ to 7.95€ depending on country,  total weight and if you prefer ordinary or certified mail.

 

 

 

*** In the making and NOW RECRUITING ARTISTS!!

The end of 2015 marks the 20th anniversary of this beloved JRPG series by Konami. Lately, the loyalty and pressure of the fans managed to make Konami put the classics on the PSN, even release some new merchandise. I’ve been a fan since the very first game, and I too wanted to show my love for the series in my own way: the artists’ way.

I am recruiting artists for the Suikoden 20th Anniversary Fanbook, and askfellow illustrators interested to let me know in a comment/reply to this post(only send me a pm if you can’t for some reason) so I can check their art! The chosen artists will be contacted before June ends.

 

 ✎ INFO & FAQs (so you can decide if you want to join):  

- HOW IS THE BOOK GOING TO BE & HOW EXPENSIVE?

- WHO TO CONTACT IF I WANT TO JOIN?

- WHAT SHOULD I DRAW IF I WANT TO PARTICIPATE?

- WILL ARTISTS GET PAID?

- DEADLINE TO SUBMIT WORKS

Holaaa (Post in Spanish because I am guessing most people thinking of going to these cons are Spanish -or speak some Spanish-)

El Expomanga de Madrid es ya este finde, y el Manchacómic el que viene!!! Estaré en Madrid el sábado con un cosplay de la ropa casual con jeans de NyoUsa de Hetalia. Hace mucho que no os veo a algunos!!! He estado super ocupada! XD

Ahora, sobre el Manchacomic... primero decir que por favor corras la voz reblogeando y compartiendo los links al final de este post ;D Gracias!!! En el Manchacómic soy colaboradora de la organización y por esto estaré todos los días (no a todas horas, pero sí al menos una mañana o tarde entera cada día, ayudando a los autores y supervisando otras cosas). Me veréis con camiseta del staff la mayoría del tiempo, pero habrá ratos en que vaya de Matthew de Hetalia para hacer de modelo en el taller de fotografía de cosplay y con otro disfraz para el concurso. Si vienes de fuera y nunca has estado en Ciudad Real, el centro y casco antiguo se pueden ver en un rato, así que os invito a asistir al Manchacómic con más razón! Renfe hace descuento de un 30% en trenes para asistir! Desde Madrid por ejemplo, puedes ir y venir en el mismo día por un poco menos de 40 euros en total, 50 minutos por trayecto. La entrada al evento es gratis, tienes 4 días para elegir el que mejor te vaya (del 22 al 25 de Mayo), y tendremos varios Premios Nacionales de Ilustración y Cómics, autores de Marvel, un montón de talleres, Rol en vivo, ya vamos que está muy MUY currado nuestro Salón del Cómic de Castilla-La Mancha! Para los docentes y/o estudiantes de campos relacionados, se otroga 1 crédito y un certificado por participar en las Jornadas "Cómic y Educación" del día 22, también! Bueno muchas cosas como digo!

La web oficial es manchacomic.es/

Y como decía: aunque no vayas a asistir, también sería genial que nos ayudaras a correr la voz en varias redes sociales!!! Gracias!!! (Por una España más culta y friki! XD)

So hey, what's up ^^ I told you about this some time ago but today is for real: I am deleting a lot of stuff in my gallery. Right now I am taking a look at my scraps folder first, so you still have one last change to download and save some of my pictures (well don't worry, I'll end submitting them to my blog or some other place so they are not completely lost XD)

I am back in my home country for some time, finished with lots of business I got to take case of these last 4 years... so I want to start seriously drawing and submitting stuff again. Obviously, over the years I've changed and the current look and content of my DA doesn't suit me anymore, so that's why I am cleaning up ^^

Anyway, hope I can submit new stuff soon! Also, how have you guys been doing? Drop me a comment or a message if you have time, I am sad that I lost contact with so many of you! ^^
