Happy new year!

Happy holidays and happy new years everyone!

I'm working on reorganizing the torrents (going from 86 to 34 active torrents) and should get the new set up and running this coming week. I've also got quite a queue to scan, so expect regular updates.

This has been an unusually chaotic year but the site's still running strong. Finally moving to my own server has really helped with that, no more worries about losing the hosting and such.

I've also been given a copy of  'The Art of District 9: Weta Workshop'

This, in no particular order, is the current queue, 'Awakening: The Art of Halo 4' is being put on hold. . I'm going to try and get one, maybe two books scanned and hosted before the start of the new year.

I'll continue to post other net-found books even if I don't get stuff scanned so don't worry about this place not getting updated.


Talk to you later!

Schell Bullet

This is a set of two novels with art pages by Mamoru Nagano. I've only scanned the art pages and covers, if anyone wants the full text let me know. The novels are over 200 pages each (though there's only ~30 scanned pages from each) and they're easily the smallest Japanese books I own, something like 10x6cm.

Borderlands 2 - Artbook, Loot Chest

This is a beefy book, 272 pages of full color documenting the creation of Borderlands 2. It's got developmental art, sketches and renderings. It's a great book if you enjoy the series.

I've also included scans from the Borderlands 2 Loot Chest that's been released a few times.

This is a combiniation guide and artbook covering the HD re-release of the Zone of the Ender games. To save bandwidth I've not scanned the guide sections since there wasn't any real art in them.

Happy 5th Birthday Archive Scans!

Another year full of life changing events. Moving, changing jobs and having another major lifestyle change made it more difficult to keep this place updated like I used to. Now though, with things more calmed down I should be getting back to updating every week-or-two like it used to be. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the site with donations, books or just leaving positive comments, people like you keep this place going.

I'm thinking of doing a drawing in November, same as the last one. Keep an eye out for updates.

Post-Chaos Status Update

After a long (but wonderful) 8 months things are finally back to normal. Being laid off, getting a new job, moving to a different city in another state (not more than 30 miles though) and finishing a massive project last week means that things are finally back to normal!

The current book queue is as follows:

The Art of Borderlands 2 (as well as some bonus stuff)
Zone of the Enders - HD Edition - The Complete Guide + Model Sheets
Awakening: The Art of Halo 4
Anything that Boinger sends me

I also have a number of other books that I may do, Pern, a couple Ghibli books and more. If it comes to that point I'll do another vote for the queue. I've also got a handful of found books that I've been saving that I'll start to post once in a while so things should pick up a bit.

Sorry again for the slow period.

This Is Animation - Macross 7 - Animation Materials

 Sorry for the long delay between scans.
This is an amazing book for Macross 7, it covers nearly all of the designs put into the series and has a good number of color character artworks. It's also a big one, 200 pages and it ended up being about 500mb.

Fire Bomber In Macross 7 - Official Program - Roman Album

This one's kinda cool, lots of character information, has some interviews and even has sheet music.
The first scan I've done after being laid off, getting a new job and moving. Sorry for the wait everyone. Thanks to Boinger for lending me the book.

Back to scanning.

I've got one of Boinger's Macross 7 books on the platen right now and have a number of books in queue behind it. Next to be scanned are the rest of Boinger's stuff, then a new ZoE book I got this week followed by the Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 artbooks.

I should have my current book done and uploaded by next Friday.

Macross FB7 - BluRay Media

This contains the BD's cover (reversible I think), the booklet and the disk labels.

Server up!

The new server (Hecatoncheir) is online! Give it a try for me. It's intended to replace my current server (Rhea) so I need to know it's working.

Movin' Movin' Movin'...

So, I'm moving to a new city on Saturday. After everything's settled I'm going to get back to the scannin' and even plan on building a server to run the content for the site. I'll run both the seedbox and the new server for a month or so to make sure it's working well before I kill the seedbox.

See you all in a couple weeks!

I apologize for the lag on the site. The new job I've gotten is great, it's just 1.5 hours away. A hell of a commute. Now I'm moving closer to the office in just over 2 weeks, once things are settled the site should pick back up. Hosting will continue and I'll keep my eye out for any good books as I wonder through the internet in my tired, caffeine-deprived state.

See you in a few weeks!

Hurrah!

Got a call today, a job offer. It seems I'll likely be starting next week. Changing fields too so this should be interesting...

This is a storyboard book, I figure it covers the movie.

Notice of, well...

So, as much as I hate to say, I've lost my current job. Now, I don't think that it'll impact the site much but I have to ask for donations. There is currently about $9.50 in the PayPal account that I use for the server costs. Now, as I said I'm not too worried as the server just costs $16 a month but every little help will be very much appreciated.

I thank every one of you for you attention.


EDIT- Wow, already gotten enough for four months of operations! I really, really appreciate the help and I'll try to find some way to pay everyone back in the future!

Thanks again go to Boinger for lending me his wonderful books to scan!

Zone of the Enders - Premium Package

 
This is a great pack (photo from previous post) released for the original ZoE back in 2001. It contains the first game, the Zone of the Enders - Idolo movie and soundtrack as well as a glorious B-size artbook covering both the animation and the game. The artbook is divided into two sides starting at both covers, I've kept the sides separated, the page order would have looked odd with reversed order for half the book otherwise.
This is the first ZoE artbook I've been able to added to my collection, very happy I was able to get it. Be aware that this pack is about 900mb.
