I recognize this from somewhere. Nice little sketch and caption.

I've seen this somewhere before -- I can't remember exacly where -- but I'd be shocked, angry, and confused if it weren't ABe's work.

oh wow... bump for the largest size of this anyone can come up with, please and thank you

Yup, it's ABe-san alright: from "10 Years Travelling" Portfolio A, part of his 2001 Gallery of Fantastic Art (GoFA) exhibition.

Enjoy!

I hope the use ABe's version of the art for anime adaption of Welcome to the NHK. Nothing against the manga-ka's take, I'd just like to see spome animated ABe art on the air again.

I wonder if this could be the "Secret project" he is working on.

When did he say he had one? That might just have been the Lain artbook reprint.

In case it wasn't already obvious that the fellow who draws Welcome to the NHK is an ABe fan... well, see attached.

Requesting information regarding the relationship between ABe and "Welcome to the NHK" in all its various forms! And images, if you have them. Wasn't there more on the board here than just this?

THAT'S the one I remembered. Thanks!

ABe did the cover for both the original Welcome to the NHK novel, and also for Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge, by the same author.

Jesus Christ, I forgot about that one. I mean, wow...what a title.

Aaaand she's lost it again.

It's LAIN-GRAVE-CHAN!

order up!

Can I get fries with that?

When you have your costume finished show us pictures!

>>5 seconded.

Anime North '06 is tommorow. Pictures shall be forthcoming, and I'm rather proud of my costume... I even got my hair cut to match (although its not QUITE as short as Lains...)

Nice! Looking forward to seeing what you've done. :)

I must admit, I was horribly surprised when I went to the con and found someone else in my outfit ~ Here she is.

:D And here I am... With a cameo a few people should recognize ;o

Nice! I think you did a better job on your outfit.

love the hat

did you make the hat? if not, where'd you get it?

:D I had the hat made by a friend, and plan to wear it in the winter. Its the best part of the costume. I got that PLUS the shirt made for $25 Canadian + materials. At Anime North, they were selling a hat that wasn't as good a make, and that was $45. x.x;

5/5

sorry

Can we get higher resolution scans of these?

cute

Well, they're all about math, if anyone cares. The first one talks about trigonometric functions and logarithms and the like...

How come WE didn't get such cool book covers for our math books? Math would have been about ten times as fun. Maybe. Plus, these books are yellow, an excellent color for math if there ever was one.

yes, I meant to put that in the previous topic.

Take this as penance.

And this.

(Just resizing a bunch of scans.
Somebody can tell me to stop if they want.)

And this.

http://shii.oppresstheweak.com/hr/src/ was where I found the scans by the way. Hurray for directory-listing.

And hurray for "wget -r -l 0".
That's all for now.

requesting "ridiculously high-res version"

Maximum file size allowed is 400000 KB...
do it

See here: http://shii.oppresstheweak.com/hr/res/215.html

Also, see here for similar high-res scans: http://shii.oppresstheweak.com/hr/res/243.html

I can`t say for sure, but I don`t think it's official. Still, I would buy that if I had the chance to, even at $60...

This one's coming in June, so you can watch out for it when you're buying the English artbook.
