I REALLY want this Haikyuu Fanart Visual Book because I really LOVE haikyuu very much and PenguinFrontier artwork is really awesome , just trying my luck and hope to win ~ Hope PenguinFrontier keep up the great job and keep drawing lovely artwork , Ganbatte PenguinFrontier ^_^

:oops:

I REALLY want this artbook because it looks awesome and the art looks amazing! I'd also love to use it to study how to better my own drawing!
I rather recently (probably, compared to other people) got into Haikyuu!! (because of the anime), but I fell in love with it super quickly and I was extremely happy when a second season got announced.
I think it would be really nice if I could win it, though!

Also, please keep up the awesome work, PenguinFrontier, and I hope that we can see even more from you soon!

(And thanks to the AarinFantasy staff for holding this giveaway!)

I REALLY want this Haikyuu Fanart Visual Book because I have ever since regretted the day Comic Fiesta finished for I DID NOT go to your booth due to time constraint and the ocean full of humans. I have dreamed of TOUCHING your precious books but to no luck. No, I don't really want it, I NEED IT. Give it to ME, PLEASE. Every time you ignore this reply, a sad heart sinks into the ocean of agony.... OVER and OVER again. Please. Save this heart. You can make a difference.

I remember I first encountered PenguinFrontier's works sometime last year. I saw his fanart of Free, Kuroko no Basket, and Durarara at that time and instantly fell in love with his style since it's quite realistic but at the same time still has a hint of anime. His coloring is amazing with all the details and lighting. I also appreciate that he seems to have similar taste in series and pairings that I do since he drew Daichi with Suga, and Goto with Masayoshi. Haikyuu has recently been one of my favorite series due to its ability to both make me laugh and get me really pumped up to root for the characters, both on Karasuno and rival teams. I also find I end up shipping a lot of the characters, which always helps. And I guess I've been on a sports anime kick recently. xD I'm really excited to see PenguinFrontier's Haikyuu fanbook since it's such a great combination of an artist and a series that I like (:

I REALLY want this Haikyuu Fanart Visual Book because I totally love Haikyuu!! ♥
I got in touch with the series when the anime started and I totally fell in love with it. I rewatched the animes two times (with two different friends) and read the manga two times... :'D I'm absoluty in love with this series and I just want more of it! I live in Germany and we have like no Haikyuu!! stuff here at all. We don't have the manga, we don't have merchandise and the next convention is like months away (and I'm not even sure if there'll be Haikyuu!! stuff. But I hope so!!)
I'm following PenguinFrontier on tumblr, so I saw preview pictures of this Visual Book there and totally fell in love with it! And at the same time I started crying like "I'm a poor university student and can't afford to go to comic fiesta".
So I want this Visual Book because it looks awesome and I'm addicted to Haikyuu!!

I could write a novel about how much I like PenguinFrontier's drawings, and how much I like Haikyuu, which I absolutely do, but I'll keep it short since I know you'll have to read all posts XD
I'm a big fan of PF's artworks, and I would feel very honored to have this book. I can't go to any of those awesome conventions since it would mean travelling almost to the other side of the world, and it's restricted to sell fanworks in my country. So winning one would be awesome, and I would be the happiest girl of the world. ... and also my best friend, squealing and snickering and drooling together when looking through the book.

I REALLY want this Haikyuu Fanart Visual Book because I absolutely adore Haikyuu! I have been recommending to any of my friends who loves sport anime (and of course, anyone who loves bishonen guys with BL vibes). I read the manga many times and watched the anime even more. Usually, whenever I feel depressed or feeling uninspired, Haikyuu!! is one of the very few animes I'll watch. I love browsing lots of posts from tumblr from Haikyuu!! especially.

PenguinFrontier's drawings are amazing. Combination of PF's exceptionally beautiful arts and one of my most favourite anime could make me hyperventilate, no kidding. I was oversea when the convention was held and when I got back, another convention was held at the place I was at. I'm very frustrated about this. Getting this book would make my day and year. If I win this book, this would be one of the many prominent memories of 2015 I would have and it is such an honour to get this book. So, I REALLY want this Haikyuu Fanart Visual Book because I simply love Haikyuu!! and PF arts are just wonderful.

I first encountered PenguinFrontier's work at deviantart and I truly loved them. All of the artworks! They're pretty. The works has this kind of style that truly stands out and it has this unique feel that would make you say "ahh, this is definitely a work from PenguinFrontier". The details of the human anatomy are beautiful. Personal favorite would be the Delivery Log Arts. They're excellent! A picture with a story. Plus the backgrounds were amazing! It's such a shame that some of the artworks were deleted on DA gallery and it would be really nice to have a personal copy of any of PenguinFrontier's work. Now that I have a chance, it would be really amazing to own one! Plus, Im a great fan of Haikyuu. I saw the samples at Deviant art and as always, beautiful!! <3

I love Haikyuu!! It is literally my favorite anime/manga. I never thought i would be so emotionally attached to so many characters T^T and PenguinFrontier is amazing! Their work is glorious and to own something so beautiful that held such meaning to me would be the greatest thing ever.
^^

I do not know what to write here because I can't express why I want the beautiful book whose cover has been taunting us all since the opening of these 5 contests... some possible reasons:

1) because I freakin' love Haikyuu and every character in it because they are each adorable and sexy in their own ways
2) because I really admire the artwork of PenguinFrontier, not just for Haikyuu fanart but SnK as well - the tasteful style, the subtle detail, the glistening perfection of muscles and sex... oops, I mean... of... the well-drawn, proportionate sex... oops, I mean of the body...
3) because it's free?! LOL. No, I would buy it if I could be at the convention, so that can't be it.
4) because it's gonna be AUTOGRAPHED!!! :olyre: that would be such an honor and I would wanna preserve the book FOREVAAAA.
5) because I just... I JUST DO. :kiddy:

It's probably all of the listed reasons, well - maybe not #3 so much, but hey, it is true. Gotta be real. To really understand how much I want the book, you would need to actually explore the other contests and check my entries. I put a lot of effort into my iShop card entries, I even discussed possibilities with my AF family and eliminated the weakest cards... I made a LOT of possible cards and had to narrow it down painfully... I rewatched the series so that I could take screenshots when I wasn't satisfied with the official art available on the Internet.

I took my time surfing through all the pictures posted on the PenguinFrontier facebook page and analyzed each detail of my favorite Jean picture. I spent HOURS and HOURSSSSS answering each and every question for the Impossible Quiz. HOURS. :aty:



... HOURS. Seriously. :lol:

But well, in the end... if you're a fan of the artist and you're a fan of the series... WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT DELICIOUS BOOK?! You can't blame us all for working so hard for it. I'm sure I am not alone in my efforts! Best of luck to everyone in the running! =)

I REALLY want this Haikyuu Fanart Visual Book because I really just love the series and I know I will cherish this book :3. I also love art and I am an artist as well so to have this would be inspiring <3 I'm also a huge fan as well :3

I really want to own this fanart visual book because it's HAIKYUU AND PENGUINFRONTIER. How fabulous is that? Haikyuu has amazing and lovable characters, and the most important factor of why I want this book so badly is because it's by PenguinFrontier. I first came across their work on one of the manga sites and they made this original R-18 doujinshi. It was really hot, it was full colored and the art is just gorgeous (and yum, the bodies).

Regardless of the lucky winner of this book, I'd like to thank Aarin for your generosity and the chance for us to win this beautiful artbook. Whoever the winner is, I hope you'll take good care of the book *sniffles*

As i live in where BL is not much recognize, there's no really many stuff to get so i really want to have a chance to have it. i like haikyuu specially takishima and the fanart looks amazing. i want it to serve as a symbol of inspiration to myself. and if ever i will be choosen this will be my first ever BL item so i will certainly treasure it.:)

The art is enticing,
And the boys are waiting
For me to come and see
Who they are, what can be.

I like all this display,
So, have to find a way
To check these Summer Boys
And perhaps dream of toys...

The flesh is attracting,
The love in the drawing,
The art expresses all:
A world of wonder boys.

I was brooding a lot over this the last few days, wanted to make the most epic post to be SURE to win somehow :lol:

but in the end I have no good idea :aty: I'm totally in love with both, Haikyuu AND the art of PenguinFrontier, but nothing awesome came to mind.
Everyone is trying to speak their minds of how much they DO love their fandom and I can't even say if I love it more than anyone else (though I feel like I do :lol:)
I'm just claiming to be the one who loves both at most :hahaha:

Thank you very much @aarinfantasy; for all these contests and possibilities to win one of the fanbooks and of course for sponsering them! (at least I guess you did)
and thank you PenguinFrontier for making a fanbook of Haikyuu :imc: I really love you for that!!!
but I enjoy lots of fanart of yours :hug:

some current faves include these two :D

Noya-sempaaai~~ :mlfy: :banzai:

He is undoubtedly my favourite out of all Haikyuu!! characters. And that picture... :sob:

http://i.imgur.com/eiqQMvF.jpg?1

Why must it be cut there... :imc: I wanna see... what's on the second half of that page... :twinkle: And hunt for other hot pics of my lovely sempaai~~ :mlfy: For the fanbook to have other Haikyuu!! characters is also a huge bonus~!! :banzai:

Thank you so much for these contests @aarinfantasy~!! :pushup: I know many Aariners just can't get their hands on amazing fanbooks like these because they live away from where all the yaoi conventions are being held, don't have the chance/time to attend these, or simply can't afford to buy those books, if any products sold there at all.

Best of luck to all other participants~!! :cheer: :cheerldr:

And to Penguin Frontier: Thank you guys for your continued hard work, as always~ :hug: :kiss: :mwaah: I'm not an artist myself and for a good reason, so I'm sure that I could never understand how hard it must be to make such stunning and beautiful artwork. But your sweat and tears from behind the scenes all paid off~!! Congratz on being all SOLD OUT on your Summer Boys Haikyuu!! Visual Fanbook~!! :yay: I'm sure that there are lots of people out there who would like a second round... of reprint. :wohoho:

:lalala:

Dear PenguinFrontier,
I must say, you have really raised the bar. Your artwork is amazing and makes it hard to get up to your talent level ;) The way you color is beautiful and flawless. Your perspective and angles are spot on and make it look easy, even though I am fully aware it isn't. Your shading gives the characters a very realistic look and makes them almost seem as if they will come to life. The expressions you put on their faces help to tell the story in the pictures, as well as the subtle gestures from other characters around them. I look forward to seeing more of your work quite impatiently. Thanks for sharing your talent with us and helping to feed our fantasies.


I would very much like the book. The artwork brings on a whole new level of imagery with our fantasy dream boys. This type of art deserves to be appreciated and loved.

Forgive us
but we may have angered him a bit
OH HOH HO
OH HO HO HO



But in all seriousness, I love haikyuu a little more than I feel is socially appropriate (the number of time I have had to rewrite a progress note after doodling a kage-toss in the corner…is …well problematic…lol). I am also quite a fan of Penguin Frontiers art (particularly the prints from Free!, Flamenco, and those black and white hq!!! head shots — ABSOLUTELY AMAZING). The detail and contrast is so vivid and polished. I like to sketch when I have free time (…and when I don’t), and I must admit Penguin frontier’s style is one that inspires me to keep trying…and to finish the pieces I start. I an so grateful to you guys for creating such delightful art!!!

I wish I could have purchased a copy in person, but sadly my current clinical responsibilities have prevented me from going to comic fiesta (among other fun things…oo graduation, how i dream of you…haha). ANYWAY, good luck to all of you! Hope you are all having a fun start to the new year! And hooray!!! SOON season 2 will be upon us!!!

Later guys and gals ;)

The reasons why I really want this artbook is....well the're the same as all the other partecipants:
-) I love Penguin Frontier's amazing art, so realistic, full of light, beauty and hotness!!! The guys seem almost alive...
Here some of my favs....

-) I love Haikyuu!!, all the characters, the passion, the competitiveness and the funny moments.
-) It will be an autographed book (and I do know the feeling to own such a rare item as I got a DJ signed by a mangaka!!!!)
In the end, honestly, I will never be able to get one (even not autoghraphed) here in Italy....such things are very hard to find around here, they need to be ordered online or through specialized shops (but then the shipping expenses would be ridiculously high). Moreover comic conventions here are very few and not so important or followed......

Thanks @aarinfantasy; for the opportunity you give us all. :hug:
Good luck for all the other aariners :yay:

Alright everybody, this contest is officially closed. I will check every contests in the contest series and get back with the results within this week. Some will be announced faster than the other contests because of different judging method.

I must apologize if some of the contest info sounds confusing or a bit weird due to my bad English, but it should be all okay.

Dear all, sorry it took a while for announcing the winners. I planned to actually ask PenguinFrontier to pick the winners for some of the contest himself, but after careful thinking... it will be putting him in a very hard position. So I went ahead and picked winners with a randomizer kinda app in a one take video, to be fair.

I took the video 2 days ago and there is no sound in it because my voice sounded not clear enough and there was construction going on above my place with some random hammer and drilling sound. I added subtitles though to the video. It's quite a boring one but you can see part of my pc/table and also sneak peek of the artbook which I believe PF has not shown publicly in his page.

Congratulations to the following winner of Contest #5:

Ah yes, I should have mentioned I asked him to check the messages here and he did! So he thanked you all for posting. I only told him about this contest after it's over. ^_^
He didn't go by the name PenguinFrontier here and used a personal name, that's why he didn't reply.

Congrats @angerbda; and really, how do you pronounce it? :am:I am luh-KEH-ti-ka. Although most will want to say lake-tee-ka.
