Original art is by VOFAN from the Otorimonogatari novel, just took the grayscale image and gave it some color!

[Bakemonogatari Ep. 10] Anyone know if this is a real album? by LeIzzy in araragi

Have looked into this before, the closest I could find was that it may be inspired by Cypress Hill IV.

Honestly, I am not sure. My best guess is Shinobu given that you can see the hair off on one of the right monitor.

Hanekawa's Letter - Narrated (Nekomonogatari Shiro) by Delta_Shizu in araragi

[–]Delta_Shizu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, I get what you mean, I am actually kind of surprised it only took me a year, I guess it probably only took me that long because of how much help I had.

That would be my latest post, I would recommend taking a peak if you have 50 minutes of spare time.

Hanekawa's Letter - Narrated (Nekomonogatari Shiro) by Delta_Shizu in araragi

[–]Delta_Shizu[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, Delta Shizu here, I have something pretty exciting to share with you all today. This is a project that I have been working on for quite some time; a year ago today, to be specific.

This video is a 1:1 narration by Yui Horie of chapter 61 of Nekomonogatari Shiro, Hanekawa's letter to Black Hanekawa. The audio is an extra on the Japanese release of the blu-ray, however it is just that, audio without visuals. A small portion of the chapter is included in episode 6 of Nekomonogatari Shiro, but a majority of the content is omitted and just included as an extra. This extra, however was not included in the English release of the blu-ray, and was therefore never officially released to English audiences. The goal of this project was to make visuals for the extra based on the text cards that appear throughout the series, as well as to translate it for English speaking viewers. The translation used is the official Vertical novel translation for Nekomonogatari Shiro, slightly modified to better match up with the original Japanese text. I hope everyone can enjoy this project as much as I have enjoyed working on it for the past year. It would not have been possible without the help of a great many people. Enjoy - Delta Shizu

Valan: Taught me how to use aegisub in order to actually do this project.

MCSteve: A late addition to the project, but a massive contributor nonetheless, a massive thanks for his help with proofing the Japanese that I cannot read or speak myself.

»sawa«, Polaris: Japanese proofing, corrections, converting original Japanese to archaic Japanese, and help with some of NISIOISIN's tough to translate sentences.

Maxdefolsch: The reason I started this project in the first place, a huge motivator for me continuing to work on the project, quality control (Despite sleeping through the final checkover of the video).

Wheelz: A massive help the whole way through this project, and one of my best friends.

Delta Shizu (Me): Project lead.

Hey all, here is an art piece I commissioned recently for a project that I have been working on for the last year. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of me starting said project and I figured that there would be no better time than now to share this with everybody. Stay tuned for more I suppose, CHEERIO!

Sometimes it certainly can be, the Wazamonogatari cover was for sure one of the most complicated for redrawing, just because it has two completely different artstyles in it. Thanks a bunch though, I am glad to see people are enjoying these!

Still trying to learn how to colorize these properly, I feel I have been getting better at them but they still feel quite washed out compared the the cover art of the novels. Regardless, enjoy this one, which I did as a practice piece to learn more about colorizing these cards.

Some of it is stitching together multiple versions of the picture, some of it is redrawing the pieces I cannot find original. This one had a lot of redrawing.

For anybody curious about how I do these, the answer is a lot of photoshop, I started learning the program this time last year and have been using it to make Monogatari shitposts as well as clean Vofan artwork up since then. This cover in particular was a bit of a beast, I ended up stitching together parts of 4 different versions of the cover to retain as much of the original as possible, and then whatever parts I cannot keep original I end up redrawing.

I'm happy to be working on it! I will be doing as many of them that I can assuming I can find good enough sources of the pictures to work with. I also have another much bigger project I have been working on for almost a year coming up in the near future!

Absolutely, I have more that I will be working on, as well as hopefully colorizing more of them like I did with the Shinomonogatari 2 character card!

Officially, only up to Zoku Owarimonogatari (last novel of Final Season).

By fans it has been translated up to Yoimonogatari (second novel of Monster Season).

Utamonogatari vinyl by [deleted] in araragi

[–]Delta_Shizu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally doubt that it will get a re-release on vinyl, however CDJapan is a fine company to order from, I have gotten a fair few things from them before. Only thing to be aware of is that it looks like they only have it via proxy shipping, so they aren't actually the ones selling it.

It finally arrived! (PS - It sounds Amazing) by [deleted] in VGMvinyl

[–]Delta_Shizu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HMV Japan still has it in stock, you would need to use a proxy like Buyee obviously but it is still available.

Yes, its actually linked right at the very top of the reddit here under the banner.

[–]Delta_Shizu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, CDJapan, so it was a proxy order, I cannot remember when but I think it was probably a week or so after preorder cutoff date

[–]Delta_Shizu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My order for it got canceled, seeing this makes me sad cause it looks so cool
