When I stumbled across this GORGEOUS rendition of Gumi. Ok. It wasn’t this EXACT picture, but a cropped wallpaper sized thing on Konachan, but anyway, I was DETERMINED to fine the artist to this picture. Of course, I started looking with the cropped version first, which brought up no answers. But eventually I was able to find the original image and track down the artist: Tibino (pixiv). <-major hetalia fan, btw.
Turns out this, one of the few completely color/completed images that Tobino has created was made for a song named “dramatic re:birth”. It’s not that good of a song, and Gumi was tuned pretty badly, which is a bit of a waste.
Now, why am I typing all this? Why, of course, so I’d have something which is close enough to substantial to go with the picture. That, and also because I want to ramble for a bit. I miss blogging.
On a related note. I LOVE this kind of coloring. Simple, but SO effective.
On a semi-related note, I dropped Hanasaku Iroha.
On a completely unrelated note, I got handed-me-down-ed an iTouch. Are there any useful/weird apps that any readers would like to recommend?
Calamitous Intent 
Coincidentally a couple days ago, Kadokawa made their Haruhi AniPoke iOS app free until September:

Is that Barcode Kanojo thing for iTouches? I always wanted to screw around with that.
Nope, it’s for the iphone.
Any term for that kind of coloring which is simple but so effective? I’ve seen it before but no coined term.
Sadly, I have no idea.
I have an iPod Touch as well. I find I usually abuse it for dictionaries. I use Kotoba! and Japanese for Japanese dictionarys, and just Dictionary for my english use.
You can also crack it and then you can just get games, like Angry Birds lol.
I think the closest thing would be water coloring or brush painting in the east. On a semi-related note, poor Ohana! No more festing it up for you!
if you want u could jailbrake it
and with that it opens many possibilites with the iphone/itouch
like for me i managed to get umineko on mine and currently going through it right now portable style
You should buy the ‘give-it-to-mushy’ app. It’s surprisingly effective.
There’s Ano Hana’s character book for free on Android Market(it’s all in Japanese though…). Wait Iphone don’t use Android do they? I don’t really know…
I dropped Hanasaku Iroha too…
Whoa. I always thought that android was a phone brand, not an operating system…
