One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
THIS THREAD IS FOR PIXIV ONLY. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST WESTERN ARTISTS BUT I DON'T WANT A REPEAT OF THE PREVIOUS FANART THREAD.

If you absolutely must post art done by Western artists, feel free to make a sister thread and I will link to it here.

What this thread is:
A place for us to show off works/collections from our favorite artists on Pixiv.

What this thread is not:
Posting progressively more sexualized material until the mods have no choice but to lock the thread.

Why only Pixiv?
The average quality of work on Pixiv is higher than other sites like DA (blurgh). It also decreases the chances of someone posting NSFW artwork because no one knows how to use Pixiv except the most dedicated weeaboos.

How do I use Pixiv I NOT READ RUNES???
Pixiv now supports the Filthy Gaijin language, this page should show up as English for you:

If not, follow this guide so that your browser is recognized as English:

Firefox users also have a nice Add-on in the form of Ank Pixiv Tools, which allows easy downloading of Pixiv images.

Finally, a GreaseMonkey script is available here.

Posting Guidelines:
Since you can't hot link pixiv images, you will have to manually save the artwork, upload it to a site like min.us or abload.de, and then use the generated link in your post.

Please include a link to the original artwork or the profile of the artist, so they get due credit and others can check out more of their stuff. A comment or two on what the subject matter actually is (if not original) helps as well.

If you're posting a collection, post a sample from it and a link to the collection and mark it as a collection or whatever.

It also helps readability if you limit the width of your images to something manageable.

What is okay to post?

This is fine:

This is cutting it close:

Oboro Muramasa

Anything less than that is likely to inspire people to play the "what can I get away with?" game.

I'll post some from my meager collection to get us started:

For the longest time I thought Pixiv was only used exclusively by the most dedicated weeaboos like this guy.

Looking forward to this thread. Hopefully it stays alive.
 
Somewhat erotic, yet also induces hunger.
 
Pixiv is great and here's hoping it never gets too popular in the west. I wish DA hadn't got so many kids posting erotic stuff. The amazing pieces made by a handful of heavy hitters gets flooded by horny art.
 
I can spend hours going from Pixiv account to Pixiv account, mining for gold. Same story with Deviant Art.

Thread bookmarked.
 
Just to keep the thread moving a bit. Pixiv is great for finding awesome backgrounds, there's a lot of pretty detailed and quality stuff out there.

 
Oh my god at that one Izayoi.

OH MY GOD.
 
I heartily approve of this thread.
People always send me great work that's on pixiv and I'm all like 'fuck yes, lets look for more' and then get lost and don't know how to look through any of it :S

Great stuff. Saved a couple of these already.

Pixiv can be very addictive. I always get new ideas for Zelda artstyles from these pics, do Aonuma and other Nintendo artists ever look at Pixiv stuff? Gaming and Off Topic blending.

Another one I absolutely love.
 
how is the muramasa one cutting it close? the one you say is fine has more sexual implication
It's less about authorial intent and more about bare tits and ass.
 
I looked around that site for 5 or so minutes and I saw TONS of DA level stuff. Didn't look to me like it had a higher ratio of good : bad. DA has some good stuff too.

Edit: That sounds overly negative. It's not really what I mean. Have fun with your thread, I don't mean to shit in it, just that I don't see the distinction so much.
 
Uchip, I don't run Google Ads, I'm not sure what gave you the impression I did.
