The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

Just wondering if anyone here (such as myself) took the fandom to the next level by purchasing art from the show.

(Simply click on the links to be presented with the sketches i own and then click on the picture you wish to learn more information etc on)

This is my Juuni Kokki sketch/genga pieces I own.

No remarks?.... No one collects the art from Juuni Kokki?

Sorry, I forgot to put down a response myself! Very nice stuff! How do you get your hands on those?

I posted a link to your gallery from my anime weblog (accessible through my sig).

Ah no problem! The way I got my sketches were through Dealers in japan, some online stores located on the US as well as ebay (only once though). Finding sketches of Juuni Kokki is very hard/expensive. See sometimes after the production of an anime series the company actually destoryes all the sketches due to legal reasons. Unlike the US just because you create the anime series you dont actually own the rights to the sketches and in some instances can get quite complicated. This is what sadly became of Juuni Kokki as many of the sketches were tossed. The ones you see around the web etc where the sketches that were sold prior to the conclusion of the series. Because of this sketches are quite expensive and hard to find (high quality). If you are interested let me know and ill aim you towards some sites that sell the sketches but they are not cheap. I just also note that there are no "cels" of Juuni Kokki as it is a CG show (computer animated) however there are a few repoduction cels out there but they are hard to find. I should have one or so in a couple months ^^.

(Also be sure to check out my Yoko pan, its the most amazing piece I have seen).

Also I have recently got my new order of some really nice Yoko sketches. One key scene from episode one when her gyrouu (hinman) is attaching himself to her! Very cool stuff. I should have them uploaded in two weeks time waiting on another deal prior to updating).

As far as my collection, my focus is of course Yoko. I love her character and how she changes throughout the series. I dont have plans on collecting other characters except maybe some of general risa and the huge monster in the cave (forgot it's name).

I also have a ton of other sketches not uploaded on my site but there not as high quality. If you are interested in Yoko give me a price range and i might upload some to show you if you are interested.

You can also contact me through the "feedback"section or click on this link http://eop.rubberslug.com/gallery/feedback.asp on my site and ill get back to you.

I hope my long post wasnt to boring

Long? You haven't read any of my posts on here, have you?

I don't know if I'll be doing any buying for a bit. I'm changing jobs at the current moment, and taking a pretty severe pay cut to do so. Though, hopefully, that's only temporary...

when ever i think my posts are semi long i include something at the bottom.. Once I wrote something half as long and someone complained that my post was to long . Anyways I hope everything works out with you of changing jobs. Just let me know when ever you are interested and ill fill you in on what type of bags (to store the sketches) etc.

Well I just wanted to let you guys know I am doing a huge update on my gallery which should be up on next Friday 15th. I have to wait for two orders one which will come in two days however another wont be shipped till next Tuesday. The same day I recieve it all is when I will do the update. Trust me it will be one awesome update

Same here! I can't wait!

You know, those animated douga gifs would make great avatars! Mind if I use them?

Sure no problem! Use either one you like, actually i will be scanning in at least another douga set along with the next update (as long as i dont get lazy scanning them all in ^^). I got 1 of the two orders in. The other order is set to be shipped Tuesday or Wednesday via priority mail so once I get that one Ill do the update which should be this comming friday (hopefully).

As promised (Updated today 15th) I was able to finally get around to the scanner and scan everything I have bought recently! There is a ton of very nice stuff so be sure to check it out!

Comments and remarks are greatly apperciated

The sketches are amazing, very nice indeed!

I am actually more interested of the book illustrations by Akihiro Yamada than the anime itself, but I guess those will be even more ridiculously priced. (But on the other hand I remember seeing some published art books somewhere.)

Thank you! As far as book illustrations by Akihiro Yamada I have not come across any. As the books were very popular in japan I am quite postive they are all in collectors hands never to leave. This will be my last update for several months. Main reason is I have pretty much dried up my current source and also need to kick back a little and save some money for a change . This update is amazing so please be sure to check out each section! Always remember comments are welcome.

(Also who knows... If I see something amazing I know I can't resist getting it )

Really nice stuff! I'm with thesmokingman, thanks for sharing!

Thank You! I will keep you guys up-to-date with any future purchases

Well, its much sooner then I originally thought. I was trying to go a few months without buying but I saw some pieces I just had to get. But I figure its been 25 days since my last order so its enough waiting time right . Well anyways the update is going to be in a few day (waiting on the final piece that I should get sometime this up coming week) I am almost certain the update will be up by Friday so look forward to it I will make another post when the new additions are added.

Got some awesome news guys. I got my package much earlier then expected so I was able to upload everything today! Some very nice Yoko sketches added so be sure to check it out when you get a chance.

Nice stuff!

That "Youko Provoked" sketch really caught my eye! Don't want to be on the other side of that stare!

EternityOfPain: A small tip for you to save bandwidth: you should save your images that are intended for viewing on the web as JPG/JPEG, not as BMP. The images will pretty much look the same for us, but will load faster (which is a big plus too)! And will save you some bandwidth.

I completely agree, the Provoked sketch you can just feel the heat of her staring directly at you, still suprised I own it.

Well luckly I dont have to worry about bandwidth as rubberslug.com (the site) is actually a free service that hosts art. Also all of them are JPG/JGEG except the two pans. The main reason is because the pans are so large when I shrunk them to that size and saved it in jpeg the quality of the sketch dropped so I tried BMP and it turned out perfect.

Juuni Kokki Update!!!

Comments are appreciated

oh I love your quick tour. Full of Youko's. And uhm, was quite shock when I read "Youko without uniform" =p

See if you click on the sketches takes you to my brief comment (not sure if you read it) but basically this sketch is very rare because on the screen you see her with uniform (there is a thumbnail to the sketch with her uniform on) however originally they had planned for her to be seen in her bra however after deeming it to risque they decided to keep the uniform. Its very cool to own something that wasn't shown on the anime. And I can't help but really like seeing Yoko is in this state

New Update!

Updated my site with my newly purchased Juuni Kokki sketches:
