UPDATE Pre-orders for Touhou Illustration book 2It's finally ready to ship!!!!!!!!!
I AM DOOONNNE PACKING!!! I have written out my forms, signed all books and done all your personal requests!! (hopefully correctly!!) The pile is really big and took a long time..... wow thank you it's very... overwhelming looking at where these books will go..! I hope you guys enjoy this book!!
How shipping works!
I will contact each batch a few days before shipping them out. There are 5 batches so I will be sending around 50 at a time. Batches are according to your pre-order number. Please do not send me notes about your address before I contact you, it will confuse me.Please reply with an OK to ship! If you need to change your address or ask me to hold onto your book until it's a better time for you, please say!I will not ship your book until I get your OK. If you miss the planned shipping date, that's fine! I'll just ship whatever closest day I visit the post after!I will send a batch every Monday-Tuesday and Friday-

The Shut-in Princess (storybook)Firstly, I want to share an interview I did with `MzzAzn ! Thanks it's a big honour, though the answers are a bit old (I don't actually remember doing this HAHAH...haha..ha........................) `MzzAzn will be doing more interviews with lovely DA artists so stay tuned!
Also, i've uploaded this illustration assignment I did on my tumblr a while ago already, but I thought it would be nice to have it here!;
Yes the girl is kimchi (everyone else in my class did generic things orz) As for the mark i got; high distinctions! heehee

POKET PARTY (book) UPDATEI hope you had a wonderful Christmas and new year~ Here is an update for pre-order-ers !! Poket party is ready to be shipped.
I will be sending them in batches (around 45 to 50 at a time). I'll keep this page updated as to which orders I have sent and not so, etc.
My trips to the post office for those batches respectively will be on the 11th, 14th, 17th and 20th. It's safer to not post all at once and this will give me enough time to rest in between since I'll have to pack everything / fill in forms :3c
As soon as I pack your order for the batch, I'll contact you checking your address again! I will be keeping hold of your copy no matter what until I get your OK to post it. It's better to be safe than sorry and it has been a period of time

The average it takes to arrive from around the world is a week or two! Though this may take longer or shorter, post has a mind of it's own \o/ I really hope you do enjoy the book!
I'm happy if you are interested i

China trip post (photo heavy)Mm I don't know how to go about this in an organized manner, so this will just be a stream of photos with my intermittent narration.
Our trip was Shanghai > Hangzhou > Nanjing > Suzhou > Wuxi > back to Shanghai. Then we went to Hong Kong on our own.
Oh yeah, first, since I have no photos of these (for good reason): THE SQUAT TOILETS. They suck. They stink. You can always tell if there's a bathroom nearby by the smell in the air! Half the time the flush doesn't even work. All the used toilet paper is tossed in a bin, so the smell just lingers and lingers. For some reason, sometimes they sell food right outside the bathrooms. LIKE WHY?! I don't know how anybody can think about eating with that smell there.
I drank as little as possible. Between my sis and I, we also brought 5-6 rolls of toilet paper, so it was more than enough. (We left the extra rolls at Grandma's in HK afterwards haha.)
Anyhoo, onto pictures...
From our place to China was a 12 hour flight, 4 hour break at airport, then

A bit of a ramble from me to youHello everyone! Long time no see.
I'm going to take this time to reflect on some things.
I was talking to Moorina and she inspired me to write this in detail and share with you all ^^
I've been doing doujin work and publishing in Japan for 4 years now... looking back, there has been a ton of sacrifices and bad decisions to be made. My life in general was kinda weird.
This is quite personal, but I though I'd share my life/experience with you guys.
My family was never well off. A lot of our friends don't know of our situation, of course. Our mother was gambling every single day and our father was never home. Mom would take all day looking around the house for hidden cash (stashed from my dad) while dad goes out to play pool with his friends. Our family borrows money from relatives and that's how we get by. If you go back to my journal entries from 2004, those were the days where we had to go to the internet cafe just to use the net because we couldn't afford to pay for anything per month

POKET PARTY normal orders OPEN!

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 19, 2012, 4:58 AM

Normal orders for the Pokémon Fanbook, Pokét party are now open! As long as this journal is up, copies are available!

Once stock sells out, this book will sell out forever. As long as this journal is up, there are copies left! I can also combine shipping with my prints, keychains, etc. Over here===> [link]

Thanks those who pre-ordered or purchased at Waicon, and thanks for the encouraging reviews! _{This is the last time this book comes up in your journal inboxes, thanks for putting up with it!;}
____________________________________________
________________PREVIEWS:___________________{Besides the fanart, there are a few (really crack) comics and 4koma scattered around~

Around 80% of content exclusive to this book only! This will not be around forever, there are a limited number of copies.}___________________________________________
________________MAIN INFO:__________________{Full colour! (even the comic pages) Paperback + Perfect Binding
Size: Comic Size (6.625" x 10.25 ")(168 mm × 260 mm)
Pages: 32 (excluding cover) no blank pages!
Price:$23 Australian! A close currency with US
Characters: Main focus is on the characters from the main Pokemon game series.}____________________________________________
_______________GUEST ARTISTS:________________{These are beautiful people with beautiful hands.}____________________________________________
__________SHIPPING AND HANDLING:_________

_{tl;dr, A single book sent via international airmail will cost $8 – and within australia; $4 The packaging is thick (a bubble mailer) and I always write "PLEASE DO NOT FOLD OR BEND!"
If you wish to order more than one copy, this table defines the postage and handling charges. Don't worry about this too much if it's confusing, I'll always do the math for you;

+The "touhou book" is sold out don't worry about how I mentioned it above
+Registering shipping means that it is insured, thus, I can only guarantee delivery for registered airmail shipping. In return though it.... is......... a ridiculous price. I have no responsibility for lost items.(Normal shipping is pretty safe from experience. There will always be a chance however it does get lost; )}____________________________________________
____________PAYMENT METHODS:_______________{This is what I can definitely accept worldwide:
In specific areas I can accept many, many more.( probably 90% of all credit or debit cards) This is check-able at [step 4] below.

Payment will be done via Paypal's merchant feature.(so you do not need a paypal account!)

For Australians I can accept Bank Transfer. Also mailmoney/money order as long as I'm not responsible for the risks!;}
____________________________________________
_______________HOW TO ORDER:_______________

_{1. Actually READ THIS PAGE, no really!
2. Titled along the lines of "ORDER", Please send me a note filling out these details v. I prefer DA since it separates my other emails, but those without a DA account can fill this form by sending me a email at: Namieis@hotmail.com
-----------------------------------------------------------
+++ Your email _{the one to send the invoice to.}
+++Which book and how many copies to order: (pokemon XX)
+++Residence: (Australia/Elsewhere)_{Confirming postal address is @ step 5, not here}
+++Register the parcel?: (Y/N) _{"No" will be sent via normal airmail, cheaper than registered.}
+++Extra note(s):_{(anything you want specifically, like signing the book or putting moustaches on the envelope... anything weird \o/)}----------------------------------------------------------
3. I will send you an invoice to your email. I will also reply when I do. I'll try to reply within 24 hours but when i'm busy do not worry if my reply is late ;;
4. Follow instructions in the email. Here you can pay with any of the methods mentioned above.
5. Once payment is cleared I will send you another note, confirming your address. Please reply with any changes, ect.
6. I visit the post office around once per week, a bit less during busy periods but I will tell you the earliest I can ship things out! Then it's play the waiting game.

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

I have sold plenty of items/doujinshi goods online before. So I have experience and your order is in good hands~ I'll try my best to be a professional merchant as a one man team!!!

If you have any questions, please drop a comment!}

Can I ask what company you used to publish your books? I'm always interested in learning about publishing options, but it's hard to know where to start looking- I've gotten a lot of spam and virus threats from looking through google. :/

~alpacachu May 3, 2013 New member

do you accept visa giftcards?

~Mystia-Katsuragi May 2, 2013

Are there still copies because I wanna buy one uvu can I send you a note?

~Mystia-Katsuragi May 13, 2013

~EnderEmmy Apr 27, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I bought one from you at the 2012 Wai-con, I still cherish it with all my heart, you're amazing.

~Kuveii Apr 22, 2013

So since the journal is still up...theres still books that i could order...?
_{_{omg please be so}}

~Fonlover Apr 9, 2013

When you say it contains characters from the main Pokemon game series, which generation does it contain most of? Is there quite a few Gen 1 especially /coughRedandGreencough cos I simply adore them =w=;;;

~wingednflying Apr 1, 2013

I love your art. I wanna get a copy badly too... but I'm sorta broke for college. ;~: and my parents don't wanna get me one as a present.

~GPSAguinguin Mar 2, 2013

Erm, about the charms and stuff, are they free with the shipping or did I misinterpret it? ; u ;

=Namie-kun Apr 5, 2013

Oh, oh did you mean that are they included in the shipping? No, but you don't have to pay an extra $5 or so for shipping with charms.
