#CDS0027: Puella Magi
Back in April, I ran a poll on our Facebook. “What new anime series this season do you most want to see fan art of?” Second guessing myself, I provided the option, ‘Screw them all. Madoka FTW!” Well, Madoka won and Madoka was last season.
Even now, the Madoka series is still popular and still fresh in our minds. With that, we present to you the CDS Madoka illustration anthology, #CDS0027 Puella Magi
Madoka is the series that defines anime in 2011. Memorable characters, impactful scenes, meaningful themes and a cute mascot that everyone loves to hate. It took the normally cheerful magical girl genre and turned it upside down. It is harsh, cruel, beautiful, magnificent, brilliant and we cannot take our eyes of it.
He made us wonder why a Blazeblue character was a guest art for us.
When we first contemplated this project, JUN told me, “I want to make this a CDS book.” To this end, he succeeded. Everyone in CDS knows about Madoka and can draw something for it. Given the popularity of Madoka within the team, it wasn’t hard to amass a good number of Madoka fanart from all of us. In this book, you will see the diversity of style from all the CDS artists as they each draw their take on Madoka. And of course, not to neglect our lone guest artist, Radiant Dreamer for his contribution as well. We <3 you deep deep.

#CDS0022: Starry * Night

Fantasy Photobooth #mangaphoto
It started as an inconspicuous email. The requirements looked easy on (digital) paper but we probably got more than what we bargained for. Not that it was a poor experience. It was incredibly stressful, tense and wrist-numbing. But at the end of it all, we got a good insight into how the advertising industry work and yes, it was fun. As much as there were moments when we felt like giving up or making a run for it, there were moments that were fun and rewarding. Throw in the satisfying feeling of triumph when the day ended and we survived the challenge, and it all made for a great experience for all of us involved.

Facebook. Love it or hate it, you can’t escape from it. Some of the CDS artists such as Xeph, GreenTeaNeko or IdleErrant (previously Manzart) have embraced Facebook. Others, such as Semi-Shigure had insisted on keeping out of that damn privacy-invading website. And you have lurkers such as WaHa who will visit the CDS Facebook but still refuse to ‘like’ it.
Ever since I, Komicer, figured out social media, CDS has been quite active among all the various platforms. Other than Google+; that one still confounds me. However, out of all, Facebook is where we are most active and where we share tons of the things that we are doing while NOT preparing for Cosfest X.2.
Recently, our Facebook hit a new milestone. Within a span of 2-3 years, we have finally hit 1000 fans. It’s not much compared to AFA or even others such as Ani-Culture or Radiantdreamer. But hey, it’s a nice milestone for all of us and calls for some celebration (and freebies)! (more…)
Support.

Unfortunately, no. We don’t have a proper booth at STGCC, just a couple of hours of book/postcard signing sessions over at the Planerds booth. However, we should have some samples there by then. You can drop by during the specific timing to say hi to us.
Wootz.
Looking for to it.
