Hi all! Here's an image created by former Tatsunoko artist Roberto Ferrari. While not truly a "romance" picture, it's a nice enough image of Ken and Jun that it seemed to me that it would fit in this thread. James

Hi all! Roberto Ferrari had a site briefly back in 2006, when he had moved back to his native Italy, but he took it down after about 6 months. I think he's gone back to Japan now, and is working for Square Enix. James

Very nice pics! I also don't know who drew the first one, but whoever they are, they're good. The second pic looks like it's from Gatch II, episode 29. He's cuddling her to keep her from freezing to death, but it is one of their "shippier" moments!

Great Valentine cards, Springie ... it's nice to see them again! I also like the one you sent, CD ... where the Eagle and the Swan are involved I'm always happy! Yesterday, I squeezed a little time out of my agenda and have quickly drawn the following. It doesn't do Ken justice but it's the Eagle asking if someone (especially from the Swannies) want to be his valentine this year!

Thanks for the links, CD! The second I knew about but I admit that the first one I didn't ... I always love to see more art! And thanks for your comment ... even to you, LB! To tell the truth, if I don't find time to draw it's because I'm creating more new cake designs to a longer list of clients ... that also makes me artistically happy (even if my work is far from professional)! Art is for everyone to enjoy and can be found everywhere under many types!

You are welcome Gatchamarie, I know I am always on the look out for new sites with pictures and new fanfics being written. I just wish I could read some of those fics that are written on those sites. When I try translating them the stories tend to get very confusing because so many words do not translate very well.

I know the feeling! And yes ... they do tend to lose most of their true meaning when trying to translate. Different languages have different sentence structures and tenses and tend to have different or more meanings for one single word. It's almost impossible to translate only the words, one by one, to make sense out of a whole sentence or phrase. And I do get more intrigued with foreign scriptures, especially Japanese as they smell of something original when it comes to anime!

There is also this Gatch comic with a Valentine's day theme. I can't read Japanese characters, but I guess that Jun wanted to give a box of chocolate to her dream guy (who else, the Eagle, of course, Smile ) , unfortunately the God Phoenix later went into Firebird mode, and this would definitely melt Jun's chocolate, oh no, Poor Jun!

He does not share my same Gatch love unfortunately and he already told me that my rose will be delivered late to me this year ... the one he wanted to pick from our front yard has not yet blossomed!!!!! So romantic isn't he?! ... but then his surprises arrive when I'm least expectiing them and, when they do arrive, they come at full blast!

Happy Chinese New Year Saturn and everyone who is celebrating. My class had a small celebration (combined with our other February Celebrations) on Friday. This year here in Canada we have Groundhog Day, Flag Day, Valentines Day, Family Day, Chinese New Year and the 100th day of school all celebrated within two weeks. We were also having our Olymipic Ceremonies ... My grade one class gets to represent Estonia next week in our Olympic Playday.
