Long time no see. I lost my pc but got iPad now. Perhaps I can’t post something here so much, but I’m back. Perhaps. 🙏

Sonic illustration anthology, SONIC IMPACT is available for pre-order now.
You can pre-order it online:
alice-books.com/item/show/1464… (Surprisingly, a half of the number of stock already have been sold.)
That Dojin book will be sold at Comic Market this winter.
ComicMarket WebSite To Attendees from Overseas:
www.comiket.co.jp/info-a/TAFO/…
Our booth address is 東ﾊ- 41a(Eastern Ha-41a), the circle name is　"RoseHip", the owner is "Ezume" .
She will also be another Sonic Dojin books in store. Please check the information at her pixiv account. www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph…

The booth next to her is Makoto-Hirono's. He is the comic artist of Sonic on DENGEKI, and prepares Sonic Dojin book of SatBK.

Another booth of Dojin book that I participated, 遠い音楽（TOOI ONGAKU:Music from far away） is 東パ　25a(Eastern Pa-25a), the circle name is "アンニュイ・キャットの庭" (Garden of a cat with ennui), the owner is "posaune".

Body of the book: www.pixiv.net/novel/show.php?i…
That book is an novel written in Japanese only. If you can read Japanese, I'm sure you shall love it. The author Frede is the best story teller in Japanese Sonic fandom, I think.
She will sell the book at online sooner or later. I will make an announcement about it when it becomes available.

Please let me know if you have any question. ^v^ Thank you!

The famous event in Japan, コミケ　(Komike, Comic Market Winter is known as 冬コミ FUYUKOMI) will be held at Tokyo again this year.
I made a promise to draw some Sonic arts for my friends' Dojinbooks as a guest, and finished all yesterday.  
My old computer is almost dead, but came through. *Loves XP, 512DDM*
If you would be able to get those Dojinbooks, I hope you shall love it.

My art will be in:
遠い音楽　（Music From Far Away: a fan story for Shadow at STH next gen, written in Japanese. I made a cover art.) fav.me/d5mb0nu
Japanese Sonic Fanart Anthology (I don't know the name of the book, but the beautiful illustration book will involve some of the best Japanese artists in this time.)
And more. (It's a secret. If you notice that, don't tell it to others. XD)

Those books might appear somewhere like ebay by very expensive price.
Don't hurry.
If my friends have a stock, you may be able to get those by fair price.
Please ask me.

edit:
I ask the authors of those books, and get an answer.
They will use the service called "Alice book". That company take a order from oversea.
After Comic Market, if they still hold a stock, mail order will be started.
I will announce it here when that time has come.

That art thief issue has been settled today.
That thief's account is deactivated.
I'm grateful to all the people who supported my friend. It would not have gotten straightened out without many supports so soon.
And I really appreciate da violation staff working hard to solve the issue.

I hope we never face this kind of problem again. *tired*

edit 09071145; ====================

Finally, real Ezume has gotten her account at da.
ezume90.deviantart.com/

She is not good at English, so the most important parts are written in Japanese.
To read her Japanese comment, please use translation machines like babelfish. Sorry for inconvenience.
At this point, that account is only for reporting this violation as an deviant, so the gallery is empty.

================================

Hello.
I don't like to talk about a kind of art thief issue, because you wouldn't feel comfortable also it makes you any less of moral character.
But this time, my friend Ezume is suffering damage from the shameful art thief.
She has gotten quite shock from this situation, and wants to stop the theft immediately.
She could have reported it to dA, but they should have too many tasks always, so the theft art isn't removed yet.
I added some warning comments to that thief's profile page, but the person hid all of bad information for them, and blocked me.
Already, someone has been cheated, and has donated to the account. It's not a good situation, it's a crime.
So, I decided to write this journal to publish the issue, though I know it's not a very nice way to fix the problem.



The person is not real Ezume. Real Ezume, is my friend, is the true author of art - everything in that gallery, not include two photographs and Jamaicanjellyfish's Request.
She could have reported it to dA, but they should have too many tasks always, so the theft art doesn't get removed yet.
I know I have to add a link to her site, but I can't.
Ezume doesn't want to open her old site URL, because the art gallery is very old and she feels very embarrassed.

edit 09051840; ====================
She can open her pixiv URL. Here: www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=60…
Some of stolen art are included there. (ex. SonAmy meme)
================================

Well, I can't talk to them on their page any more because they blocked me.
So, I try to talk to them here.
====================

Hello, xxlilsugarxx, I'd like to talk to you by Japanese. If you are the true author of the art as you claimed, you should be able to read/write Japanese very well because some Japanese phrases are used correctly in the art.
As you know, real Ezume is a Japanese.
You should be able to read and understand my Japanese comment below.
