Mobile wallpaper/Avatar editor upgrade

FC's online Mobile Wallpaper/Avatar Creator has been completely renewed. It's now more complete, more client-side, and provides some image-retouching filters.

The overall functionality is the same: find a beautiful pictures in the galleries or the image board, click "create mobile wallpaper" or "create avatar", crop a portion of the image and save it.

So what's new? That after cropping, there is an additional step: the image is now cropped directly on your browser, and you will be able to apply some photoshop-like filters to fine-tune and enhance it before saving.

You can play around with a sandbox picture here. It's only for demonstration purposes, so it does not allow to save the final wallpaper.


Here is the changelog:
  • Rotating the selection (before cropping) is no longer supported. You can now rotate the whole image instead.
  • After cropping the image, the following filters will be available: image flip; brightness/contrast; hue/saturation/lightness; red/green/blue balance; blur/sharpen; outer border; glow; sepia; remove noise.
  • You can undo up to 3 last applied filters.
  • Image processing is all browser-side via javascript now; this reduces server load, but might be slow on older computers; expect some lag while applying filters.
  • The editor now relies heavily on HTML5 canvas elements; older browsers and IE most probably will not work. Preferred browser is Firefox 3.6.
Please comment here if you encounter bugs, malfunctions, or just have suggestions. Every feedback is welcome.

The long, long Queen's Blade gallery is a bit longer: the new addition is the Queen's Blade Perfect Visual Book, with 52 definitely NSFW images.




I wish there were more pictures with Airi. :)

The site updates are a bit stalled, because I'm very busy IRL. There have been a couple site enhancements though.
The mobile wallpapers gallery has been categorized by resolution in a better way. A new format has been added, 360x640 (nHD, suitable for modern touch-screen Nokia phones), and now the resolutions menu in the gallery is more intuitive. Once you create a wallpaper, there's a new button to share your creation on Facebook quickly. Please try it out, and spread the word.
Also, the QR code reader list has been restricted to keep the best of both world: the Barcodes application for iPhone (tried it out myself, works great) and the Kaywa reader for all other phones. The QR codes are a great and fast way to access internet contents with your mobile device; they're very popular in Japan (see pic below) but they're starting to get widely used in the western world too.

I recently acquired the aforementioned magazine, debinded it, and scanned it. It contains images from various anime series, such as K-ON, Saki, Toradora and many others.

You can browse the images in this thread on the image board. 82 images, 300 dpi scans resized to 2400 px, without filters.

Some of the images are from anime series that I can't recognize; feel free to add the missing titles to the thread tags.

New gallery on FC, featuring the romance/harem/highschool/whatever anime Clannad. Although I never personally managed to watch it, it's a very popular series, and there are lots of beautiful images around, so here it is: 117 images.

Among the 4 calendars in the new gallery, there is an incomplete one (which is missing 2 pages). I'll gladly add the missing images if anyone has them, just drop a comment here.

Popup tooltips everywhere!

With the aid of a nice little javascript library, I added some visual thingies around the site, mainly in the image board, which should help the user providing additional information.
While viewing the image board, hovering on a thread icon will show a tooltip containing a preview of the thread.


Inside a thread, every thumbnail will show a tooltip with the full image's resolution and size. Also, tooltips have been used to show possible errors while posting stuff (no more ugly javascript alerts, which is quite neat, try it out).

These functionalities should be extended to the galleries soon.

On a side note, 9 scans have been added to the Gurren Lagann gallery.


This site gets better and better. Too bad there is barely any activity.

That's why the new gallery is divided into three sections, one for Shana, one for Haruhi, and one for all the other works (which I don't know well, so I couldn't sort them). Enjoy.

Image board old posts back up
Posted on 2009-06-25 04:31:44

post reply

I finally managed to import almost all of the old image board threads; some of them had corrupted jpgs, so I couldn't recreate the thumbnails and have been partially/totally lost. I'll repost from scratch the ones that I had created, and I'm sorry for the other ones.



I think the new image board is very straightforward to use, but let me explain some points that might not be obvious.
  • The post deletion system is 4chan-alike. When you post a thread/comment, you can specify a password. You can then select your post, input your password again in the form at the bottom of the thread, and use the delete button. If you are the thread creator, you can input the password of the first post and use the delete thread button (without having to manually select the posts). If no password is entered while posting, the post is undeletable.
  • You can add tags to every thread. While viewing a thread, on the left column, enter some significant tags for the thread (i.e. for a K-ON thread, 'k-on', 'music', 'school girls', 'slice of life', 'kyoani'). Everyone can delete the tags and enter new ones. The administrators can approve the single tags, so that the delete icon will disappear from them. Once the thread has some tags, you can use the search function on the image board page and it will appear in the search results.


Herrow.


Fixed a problem in the image board search function.

Also tripcodes should work in news comments too now.

FerriCorp v6 (beta)

Hi, and welcome to the 6th installment of FerriCorp.

Basically, it's the same stuff with a different layout. You can access the other sections from the tabs on the site header. There is a lot of missing stuff right now, but it'll all be fixed in the next days (hopefully)



Now some notices. The maid in the header is just a placeholder. We'll probably get new cool mascots in the near future. Also the whole header graphichs might get improved.

The image galleries are now sorted by anime, artist and artbook, and a tag system will relate galleries together for fast access. You can still create avatars and cell phone wallpapers using the links while viewing the single images.

The image board, as I said previously, is brand new. I coded it from scratch, so it will most probably be improved after I see some 'real' usage of it. Users can post threads, add images, comments, tags and links to it. Mess with it to find out more.

The avatar and mobile wallpapers gallery now contain thumbnails that also link back to the gallery which they were created from. They're also sortable by resolution.

That's all - I'll post again if I need to report some more fixed things. Enjoy the new layout.


The old FC forum is still accessible from here.

I'm currently working on importing the relevant threads from the old image board, for making it look less empty.

New layout incoming

The site updates are on halt until the new version of the site is ready.

Thenew FC will be pretty much the same, but with better contentdisposition, visibility and usability. The biggest change lies in theimage board, that will have a bigger role; it'll be a brand-new imageboard system, halfway between 4chan-type and danbooru-type.

Theforums will most likely be gone; it's not a great thing spending moretime in the admin panel to delete spambot posts, than reading theactual user posts. It will remain there in read-only mode until I savethe important posts. Actually, every public section of the forum isalready read-only.

I'll update this news to tell forecasts about when it will all be ready. Stay tuned.




Excited about the new layout, sorta sad about the forums--but on the other hand, imageboards whoo

That said, the boards have been pretty dead now for a while, and spambots are whores. It sucks, but it's natural progression, I guess. Or regression. Either way, a more streamlined FerriCorp is good for all of us, and like I said, I'm excited about the changes.

fc nevar forget


Fact is - every forum needs someone that starts new threads, so that others can reply, and the forums stays alive.
Now that I graduated from uni and RL kicked in, I can't actively monitor the forums and start discussions. So I decided to follow a more radical path for the new site - less discussion and more images. The new image board will still allow discussion, but it will be more focused on the images (basically each thread has images at the top, comments at the bottom); also it will be more integrated with the rest of the site, using a tagging system that will relate together image board threads, site galleries, and avatars/mobile wallpapers (I'm not releasing it immediately though, it's still in development).

The new site will probably roll out on the second half of june.

Yet another gallery for the Queen's Blade series, somewhat celebrating the airing of the first episode of the TV series.



The images added this time are from

• Queen's Blade 18 artbook - Alleyne
• Queen's Blade 19 artbook - Ardra
• Queen's Blade Rebellion 1 artbook - Annelotte
• Queen's Blade Extra artbook - Mai Shiranui
• Queen's Blade 2007 School Calendar

Yes, Mai Shiranui from King of Fighters. Nothing too strange, as one of the previous extra artbooks featured Iroha from Samurai Spirits.

Happy browsing!

Finally, here it is, the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED / SEED Destiny gallery. Over 350 new images.



Please note that there are no images focused on the various mecha; as every Sunrise series it had lots and lots (and lots) of images, so while browsing them I gave precedence to the ones featuring human characters (hot girls > mecha. Even though there are lots of boys in this gallery).

Small changes to the mobile wallpapers creator: now you don't have to explicitly save the wallpaper to the gallery. It gets saved automatically, you only get the option to delete it if you messed up. Same goes for the avatar creator.

A new tool now functional, the avatar creator.
Parallel to the mobile wallpaper creator, its usage is the same, browse any image on FC and follow the 'create avatar' link. Click the 'show help' link inside the editor if you need it.

This is the icon to look for.


Try the avatar creator on a sample image clicking here.

For now, you can choose to output 100x100, 150x150, or 200x200 avatars, and add a border of any color around them. Once you create the avatar, it is automatically added to the avatar gallery, accessible from the right menu too.

As announced in my previous Shuffle! update, here's the gallery about the artist, Aoi Nishimata. She's an eroge artist for the company Navel, along with Hiro Suzuhira.

It's out of doubt that her designs are very uniforn, with all the characters resembling each other a lot (except for the hair), so you might like them all, or be sick of them. You have 250 pics to find it out.



Small news: I'm testing stuff in the wallpaper creator, precisely avatar creation. 100x100 and 200x200 avatars available for now; I will most likely make a separate editor and gallery page for mobile wallpapers/avatars in the near future. I'm also planning to put an option for adding borders around the avatar. Suggestions welcome.

New feature on FC! As you can guess from the title, it's a tool for creating wallpapers for mobile devices, using any image on this site, by automatically resizing and cropping them.

Warning:
- the tool is still to be considered in its beta stage, please report here if you find any malfunction.
- the tool doesn't work in Internet Explorer. It uses javascript heavily and I couldn't get it to work on IE.

Its usage is very obvious, but here is a little visual tutorial.
- Browse the galleries and find an image you like.
- Actually, it even works with images from the image board, so you can even post one you want to create a wallpaper from.


- Once you have opened the image, click on the 'create mobile wallpaper' link.


- You will be brought to the editor window.


- Choose the diplay resolution of your phone. This will be the final size of your wallpaper.
- If you don't know your resolution, check the link on the editor page.
- If your resolution isn't listed, send a suggestion using the form on the editor page. It will be added ASAP.


- Drag a side of the rectangle to cover the area you like.

After a long wait, a new gallery is up. This time it's Navel's most famous anime series, Shuffle!, with about 250 images.



You can clearly see Aoi Nishimata's and Hiro Suzuhira's hand on the chara designs. It's very likely that I'll put up a gallery with more of Aoi Nishimata's works soon.

One more thing: you might have noticed a new link on the images page, called "report broken image". Click it to send me a notice about an image being corrupt or not loading. Please don't abuse it!

P.P.S.: the japanese text showing as "?????" on the news titles needs to be fixed. It works right on the forums, though. If anybody has a clue, please leave a message here. (NEVERMIND THIS FIXED IT KKTHXBAI)

The server move is complete. The image board and the forum are already back up and running. The anime galleries are yet to be reuploaded... I'll do it between today and tomorrow. Blame my terrific upload speed.

IMPORTANT: if you find something not working correctly, or corrupted images, please report it by posting a comment here.

Meanwhile, the image board limits have been raised. The new maximum is 2MB per single image, 2500x2500 pixel. I'm very sorry but the last couple days worth of posts are gone :(

I'll announce a new gallery and a new site feature in the next days, so stay tuned!

UPDATE Dec 22: Domain transfer is complete, I will start the migration of the site on Dec 24. It will take some time uploading all the galleries again though. Stay tuned for more information. Now the "highlights" part at the top of this page is collapsible!

As stated in the most recent announcement on the forums, FC is about to move servers, so I guess the updates will be on halt for a while. Tests on the new server are going smoothly, the only big things left are reuploading everything, and transfer the domain. The actual server move will take place sometime this month.

Changing topic. I noticed that right after being created, the Code Geass gallery received a lot of visits, placing itself in the 3rd place of the most visited gallery.
This led me to think that there must be more famous anime titles that FC should have a gallery of; and the best way to notice them, is ask you visitors directly.
So, leave a comment here, or if you're too lazy to register, post on the image board in this thread, answering the following question: which gallery should FC absolutely have?

東方 Touhou

post reply
Here we are, finally, with this BIG update. 3 galleries, for a total of 420 totally unsorted, ungrouped and unordered scans. Touhou has gotten already so big of a phenomenon that I couldn't resist not giving it some credit. For the less informed:

The Touhou Project is a series of 2D (with 3D background) vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting games made by Team Shanghai Alice, with two fighting game spinoffs co-produced with Tasogare Frontier. They are similar to regular shooting games, but focus more on weaving through complex patterns containing anywhere from dozens to hundreds of bullets. Every game in the Touhou series is set in the fantasy land of Gensokyo, and the series is known for its huge cast of characters, well-developed storylines, and related materials such as music CDs and fan-made comics.



This update actually is a bit against the policy of FC (which tries to gather official-only images). No official Touhou art exists outside of the games, so the galleries consists ONLY of fanart. So many CD covers, so many doujinshi with amazing artworks were out, I guessed I'd make an exception.

You can find the galleries deep down in the artists menu. Direct links:
(Touhou gallery 1) (Touhou gallery 2) (Touhou gallery 3)

Please refer to the Touhou Wiki for all the information you'll ever need, and to post reply

The update this time consists of a multi-artist artbook, named Shin Moeru Headphone Reader. It's a collection of illustrations of girls wearing headphones of famous existing brands. Credit goes to pireze.org.



The original artbook contains in-depth reviews of those headphones by the illustration artists, but it's not really the point of this update (and of this site) so I cropped out everything outside of the actual illustration (also because the original scans had some nasty folds and shadows).

Also: I helped Motoko to completely renew her website. Please pay her a visit!

I found the scans of 3 cute Misato Mitsumi calendars that were missing in the gallery, and added them.

Also, 25 new scans in the Gurren Lagann gallery; most are from the newest Nia Character Book.

The flash movie this time features GAINAX's first Gurren Lagann spinoff video, namely 'Gurren Lagann Music Clip Project I'. 3 videos are out now, look for them on youtube or torrent.

Last part of the update. Last 5 artbooks, 140-something scans. I'll add the new artbooks as soon as they get scanned. Hope you enjoyed!

Also: the annoying ad page that popped out from time to time is gone. It wasn't worth it. Also goodbye to Project Wonderful ads, and the stupid flash banners will be gone too at the end of July. Only Google ads and Jlist banners will remain. If you appreciate this site, click on them when you feel like it.

Second installment of the Queen's Blade gallery, 6 new artbooks, 5 more to go.

I decided to zip and upload the 3 artbooks I skipped (number 11, 13 and 16). They're available here on MediaFire.

Some previews of one of the latest QB books can be found here. I hope they get scanned fast in moonland.

Queen's Blade artbooks - part 1

This is the first part of a massive update. I'm gonna upload 17 little artbooks of the Queen's Blade series. What's Queen's Blade? Most of you will surely already know.

Queen’s Blade is a series of game books that debuted on November 25th, 2005 with the publication of two volumes from Hobby Japan: Reina and Risty. The books are modeled directly after the original Lost Worlds combat game books from Flying Buffalo Press, and as such you can ostensibly play a game with them (you and a partner trade the books of the characters you’ll be representing, and take turns declaring actions and counteractions with various results), though nobody I know does - they’re essentially dealt with in Japan as hardcover, full color, reasonably priced artbooks of “image characters” by famous designers.
From Heisei Democracy.

Looks like Queen's Blade is a pretty big phenomenon already, with lots of other merchandise already available, like side stories, figures, mousepads, doujinshi - even an animated series has been announced.

So- you can already grab the first 6 artbooks in the Queen's Blade I section. Each artbook contains 30-32 scans, all coming in 1280px resolution (not great, but still decent). The artbooks I had lying around were actually 20, but I had to skip 3 because they contained borderline /d/ stuff, if you know what I mean.

Look forward to part 2 and 3 of this up

Ugetsu Hakua - Flamboyant

post reply
I recently got my hand on the REAL Hakua Ugetsu-sensei artbook 'Flamboyant' (my beloved gave it to me as a present <3). He's one of my all time favourite artists, and the artbook is great. Pages 1-55 are full color Burst Angel illustrations, 56-72 are Burst Angel concept art and sketches, and 73-128 are full color illustrations of original characters or fanarts. The printing quality is awesome and the cover is solid cardboard.












Remember that you can get all the color pages scans at the Ugetsu Hakua gallery.
Ugetsu Hakua should do some more anime character design. Burst Angel was nice, but it was cheap as your average GONZO anime. It had potential but turned out pretty lame. Here's the creditless opening 'Loosey'.

post reply
A new website in the FC community has opened, InnerOtaku.com. It's an experimental website I built, that acts as a portal for who is looking for anime/Japan related news.



It's still in the beta stage, optimized only for Firefox at the moment, so expect errors or visual bugs. Send any feedback to info at innerotaku dot com, until a proper contact page is created.

Genshiken opening video, kinda related.


GA Graphic wallpapers gallery
Posted on 2008-06-12 00:00:00
The new gallery is a wallpaper set that I had lying around. All the wallpapers come from the GA Graphic japanese website, which shows a couple new wallpapers every once and then. The old wallpapers are no longer available on their website though, so here they are. They're all in 1024x768 (sigh), but it's a nice collection nonetheless, so I thought I'd share. 150+ wallpapers. The collection is horribly outdated though, so if anyone has some newer GA Graphic wallpapers, please contact me.

Also, a new feed has been added on the 'Resources' column on the right. It's from Sankaku Complex, a nice website I found recently that publishes daily japan-related news, along with nice ecchi image galleries. Be sure to check it out.

Nothing else to say, so have a random, totally unrelated idol video featuring Sayuki Matsumoto.


Interesting image board threads
Posted on 2008-06-09 00:00:00
The FerriCorp image board is by far the most visited section of the website (mostly because it's listed in the Overchan), but it's mostly a place for me to dump various themed mini-galleries, as very few people except me post anything. The limit of 10 pages also allows the threads to stay up vor a LONG time (the limit hasn't actually been reached, lol).

Some interesting threads:
E=MC2 mega-neko illustrations


Pokemon-tan thread


Hatsune Miku thread


MTGK illustrations


Gurren Lagann eyecatch vectors


More Zero no Tsukaima
Posted on 2008-05-27 00:00:00
The Zero no Tsukaima gallery gets a lot more stuff today, going from 30-something images to over 100. Be sure to check it out. And remember that Zero no Tsukaima season 3 (Princesses no Rondo) is going to air this summer!

Season 2 creditless OP video -



Shining Tears - Blanc Neige
Posted on 2008-05-20 00:00:00
Today I got my last order from HLJ, Kotobukiya 1/6 Blanc Neige from Shining Tears. I always loved the piece of artwork by Taka Tony which it is taken from, though I don't know anything about the Shining Tears world.



More photos available on this thread on the forums. I'm currently downloading the Shining Tears anime, and looks like there's a PS2 game too. Here's the opening video. Have you played it?



Taka Tony gallery was the second most visited gallery during last week, with 343 views. First was Shunya Yamashita with 419.


Ikkitousen gallery
Posted on 2008-05-07 00:00:00
The new Ikkitousen gallery has been added, with 100+ scans.

Here's the mandatory video link, this time it's Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny OP.


Also: a duplicate in the Lucky Star gallery has been removed, and 3 new scans added; 6 new scans also in the Gurren Lagann Gallery.


Gallery stats
Posted on 2008-05-06 00:00:00
Here are FC's 15 most visited galleries (from 2008/1/1 to 2008/4/30).
I already posted this on the forums, but I was bored so here it is on the homepage.
You can see that individual artists galleries are more popular than anime series galleries.



On a side note, I was requested to put up an Ikkitousen gallery. I gathered 100+ images, I'm in the process of sorting and resizing them, they will absolutely be online in the next days. Check back soon.


Upgrading forums
Posted on 2008-05-02 00:00:00
The forums are temporarily closed, as I'm upgrading it to PhpBB3. Cross your fingers. I don't know how long this will take, if anything will be lost, etc. I'm almost 100% sure that the old forum skin will have to go though ;_; I hope to find another similar.

STATUS: upgrade complete.
Now all the homepage news are directly posted on the 'News forum'. You can post comments on the news if you are registered on the forum. Just use the 'Post comment' link at the bottom.

(Forum upgrade comment thread)

In the meantime have some Mari Shimomura.


PicLens for Firefox 3 beta
Posted on 2008-04-28 00:00:00
One thing that was bugging me was that the PicLens Firefox extension didn't work on the latest beta version of our favourite furry browser. Well, this issue has been fixed, so if you had the same problem, go update it at the official site.

Still don't have PicLens? If you have have a decent video card (and a decent monitor) you may want to get it. Take a look at the video below. And don't forget to discuss it in FC forums.


Fullmetal Alchemist gallery up
Posted on 2008-04-24 00:00:00
Sorry for the delay in updates. Here I come with a brand new gallery dedicated to FMA. Lots of scans. And by lots I mean 240, some calendars, some magazine/poster scans, some from the comic artbook.

You will notice that some of the calendars are missing some pages, which I could not find. If you happen to have them, feel free to shoot them to my email address and I'll add them to the gallery.

Fullmetal Alchemist OP2 'Ready Steady Go' by L'arc~En~Ciel video to boot.


March updates
Posted on 2008-03-17 00:00:00
Yet another affiliate, please take a look :)



For the gallery updates, I added twenty-ish new scans in the Lucky Star gallery a couple days ago. But I'm very busy with university at the moment, so further updates may stop until April. Sorry ;_; In the meantime check the image gallery, I might start new threads with nice images/wallpapers there.

Happy Easter!


New Negima gallery!
Posted on 2008-03-06 00:00:00
I just finished uploading a brand-new gallery about Mahou Sensei Negima. It contains 57 beautiful scans and the 2007 calendar. Enjoy~

Here's Negima 'Happy Material' OP video.


Also, I wrote a new (very stupid) tutorial. Got a wallpaper, but in the wrong resolution? Got a big scan you want to use as desktop background? This tutorial will help you cut/resize it into a wallpaper, using IrfanView, a very common image viewer. Read it here!

Update: two great anime scans websites have been added to the affiliates:





Be sure to pay them a visit!


FC image board reborn for the 3rd time!
Posted on 2008-02-15 00:00:00
The good old FC image board is now back up, running a modded Wakaba script, completely integrated in the website graphics. No more /b/, now there's ONLY ONE BOARD to post anything anime related. From fanart to scans to wallpapers.

The board is still in the test period, cause I had to mod some of the code in order to integrate it into the site, and maybe I forgot/messed up stuff. So report me anything that doesn't work correctly. Also note that because of server limitations, you may get an error when uploading big pictures (roughly 1600x1200 and higher).

Enough talking, go post~ feel free to post/discuss/complain/troll about any anime you want.

Also: blatant self-advertisement for FChan added at the top right corner of the page. Coolest thing ever?


Kazuya Kuroda gallery added
Posted on 2008-02-11 00:00:00
Today brings a brand new gallery featuring artist Kazuya Kuroda. The gallery contains 54 beautiful pinup scans (mostly ecchi) from BugBug magazine covers, Chrno Crusade, Vandread and Sora no iro, mizu no iro.

Also: alternative domain http://www.ferricorp.tk/ is now active.


Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann gallery up!
Posted on 2008-02-04 00:00:00
Title. See it here. Only 32 scans for now (there aren't many official scans around yet) but enjoy nonetheless. Especially if you're a Yoko fan. *wink* *wink*

Gurren Lagann OP1 'Sorairo Days' for your viewing pleasure.


Trivial note: a dropdown menu has been implemented in the right column, for fast gallery access.

Not-so-trivial note: the GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS! gallery was broken, and it's been fixed. Please report in the shoutbox if you notice anything not working.

Trivial note again: gallery thumbnails using the PicLens view look slightly less shitty than before.


PicLens compatibility added
Posted on 2008-02-01 00:00:00
FC is now properly compatible with the PicLens browser extension. What the hell is that?

PicLens is an extension (for Firefox, IE, and Safari) that creates an amazing slideshow with all the images in the gallery you're viewing. If you have the extension installed, you will notice small
icons
when you hover on the thumbnails in the galleries (you have to wait for the page to fully load). If you press it, you can view the entire gallery as a slideshow, like this.



Now you can browse the thumbnail "wall" using the bar at the bottom, and click on the pics to expand them.



Then, you can press the (>) button at the top to view the image on-site, so you can save it. Cool, eh?

Only problem for now is that the 100x100px thumbnail of the galleries look quite crappy in the slideshow. I need to recreate them at higher resolution. Look forward to it. Also, can someone confirm that everything works fine with IE and Safari?


Fate/Stay Night Visual Collection
Posted on 2008-01-28 00:00:00
More goodies! Rin and Saber fans will be pleased, as the Fate/Stay Night gallery gets a lot of beautiful new scans. Again, credit goes to DPG, make sure to pay them a visit on their website or IRC channel.

Please note that the gallery will be down as I upload the new stuff. Bear with my slow upload speed. Also, please report me if you see a duplicate image in the gallery!


Aoi Nanase gallery
Posted on 2008-01-22 00:00:00
I've come across quite some Aoi Nanase illustrations, so I'm putting up a gallery with her works.

The first artbook I'm uploading (Seven Colors of the Wind) had ugly folds, so I didn't upload the spread images. As usual, if anyone wants the full artbook, you can grab it here.

The second artbook (Angel Flavor) has nice clean folds, so I'm leaving some spread pages in case someone wants to join them ;) The direct download link for the artbook is here.

On a minor note, Neon Genesis Evangelion 2008 calendar scans are now available in the Evangelion gallery. Have fun!


More fine gals: Happou Bijin artbook
Posted on 2008-01-02 00:00:00
I'm uploading an artbook I found recently, Sweet Body by Happou Bijin. It's a new gallery containing 80+ scans.
This time too, I had to remove the most explicit images ~_~ if you want the full artbook, it's available on Sendspace. Which sucks, I'll update the link if I manage to upload the whole thing on RapidShare or something better.

Also, happy 2008 from FC!


New scans & 2008 calendars
Posted on 2007-12-22 00:00:00
I'm in the middle of uploading stuff, mostly Suzumiya Haruhi and Lucky Star scans, along with the 2008 calendars of both. Merry Xmas!


Tenjou Tenge gallery
Posted on 2007-10-07 00:00:00
Added the Tenjo Tenge gallery for your viewing pleasure. Many scans were spreads, so they feature a nice white line in the middle. If anyone has them cleaned, feel free to contact me.

October 11 update: some new scans and some "fixed" old scans in the Tenjou Tenge gallery, thanks to Ne&#937;.


Sweet Girls Artbook added + Range Murata stuff
Posted on 2007-09-28 00:00:00
Another artbook has been added in the artists section, 'Sweet Girls', see it here. Credit goes to DPG (you guys are great, I will never thank you enough).

I had to remove the most explicit images, though. Which is really a shame. I reccomend you to get the full artbook to see the missing images, which is available at the scanner's blog here.

On a side note, I'm adding in this very moment 2 new Range Murata artbooks in his own gallery. The artbooks are 'Form Code' and 'Like a Balanced Life'. Range fans rejoice!


To Heart (and TH2) gallery
Posted on 2007-09-19 00:00:00
I noticed I had quite a lot of good To Heart (but mostly To Heart 2) scans, so I'm tidying them up for uploading. Expect the new gallery coming later today or tomorrow.

Also, I'd like to revive the forums a bit... so if you used an image from this site to make a wallpaper (or anything else), please post your work in the forum. Or share a vector trace you did. Or just talk about anything.

Lastly: stats are showing that the GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS artbook gallery had a lot of success. So I was thinking if you would like to see a 'random unsorted anime girls gallery' featuring hi-res images of no particular anime. That would require some effort, so I'm asking you visitors first. Check the poll on the right.

(This news posts are becoming too long. I know. In before tl;dr)


Evangelion & Nadesico galleries back
Posted on 2007-09-17 00:00:00
I am in the middle of reuploading the Neon Genesis Evangelion and Martian Successor Nadesico galleries. Check them out soon. *kicks his crappy upload speed*

For you readers: for sake of completeness, I wanted to upload some scans of the "Evangelion Newtype Artbook", but all I can find are ugly scans with heavy centerfold shadows. If anyone has that artbook scanned nicely and wants to contribute to FC, please contact me.

Also, thanks to those who bought stuff from J-List. FCv5 is a little more filled with banners than v4, but please bear with it as it helps me pay for the site's hosting. Keep buying stuff, and also check the new Play-Asia banners too.

Finally: FC now offers advertising opportunity for anime-related websites. If you want a 120x300 banner displayed in FC advertising spaces, please check the advertising section in our 'about' page.


Code addons
Posted on 2007-09-11 00:00:00
"Next image" and "Prev image" links have been added to images in the galleries for easier browsing. The feature might be broken at times, cause of wrong image numbering (I've been deleting a few dupes, so there are holes here and there).

Please feel free to suggest other mods/addons you would like to see.

More stuff: a poll has been added under the shoutbox on the right. Please vote!

More more stuff: added some more Ugetsu Hakua scans, from the Parhelia and Lith artbooks.


New galleries!
Posted on 2007-09-05 00:00:00
Here are some new galleries for celebrating the new website layout.

- Azumanga Daioh
- Lucky Star
- Onegai Teacher (and Twins)
- Fate Stay Night
- Zero no Tsukaima

Happy browsing!


FerriCorp v5 = now!
Posted on 2007-09-02 00:00:00
I actually worked full-time on the new layout, and here it is. Most of the changes are in the backend, so you cannot really see them... the important changes for you users are:

- The artists galleries aren't grouped together anymore. Each artist has its own page.
- New shoutbox, for those who don't want to register at the forums.
- The vector gallery is gone. I'll arrange something in the forums in its place (like a vector-specific board).

The anime galleries are not up yet, I still need to sort thru them and reupload. There are almost all the artists galleries though, with old + brand-new pics inside.

If you encounter errors browsing the galleries, it means that particular gallery is in the process of reuploading.
