Happy 20th Anniversary D.Gray-Man!

Here is a project made by fans for the 20th anniversary of D.Gray-Man. It is viewable for free and can't be downloaded and sold in any way. 175 artists, from determined beginners to seasoned pros, signed up to redraw the first volume, illustrate 18 iconic moments, and sketch 73 doodles (presented alongside 36 silly questions) in their own style!

This fanbook has no affiliation with the official DGM in any way. The contributors claim no ownership or right to the DGM work, which is the sole property of Katsura Hoshino and Shūeisha. Each artist is the owner of and responsible for their art. Reposting any of the artwork is strictly forbidden without direct permission from the artist who made it.

Only look at this Zine if you already know DGM! It wouldn't be as interesting otherwise. We hope that our work will prompt new and old readers to take interest into D.Gray-Man. Please buy the manga to support the author!

The Zine

And the password to see it : DGM20thAnniversaryFanProject! You can put it in full mode in the top right corner, the four squares there are also a table of content.

This project is our way to celebrate this manga we love and we hope you readers will enjoy our art as much as we loved making it!

If I had a nickel for each time a female mangaka put in their shonen series a mysterious, eccentric being based on the Count of St. Germain I would have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice right?

Betting I’ve reblogged this before. Betting I’ll reblog it when it turns up again.

In addition to the print terminology stuff: the visual shorthand icons and ad graphics for something about writing are still often pen-nibs, fountain pens and typewriters…

…while graphics of a monitor, keyboard and mouse remain visual shorthand for computing…

…even though most writers now use monitor /  keyboard / mouse or even laptop / touchpad.

In addition, headers for “this blog / website is about writing” are often in one of the many imitation typewriter fonts complete with smudges, or just Courier.

The start and end call icons on most / all smartphones is still the handset of a classic desk telephone, and sometimes the open-app icon is a complete phone.

The term “hang up” for “end the call” refers to something even older - one of these…

And of course the Save icon is indeed a 3½ inch floppy disc.

Why it wasn’t a 5¼ floppy is a mystery. The icon version is just as distinctive.

Also, why various OP updates never changed “Save” to the graphic of a CD / DVD or flash drive is another mystery, and nowadays a Save icon should probably be a cartoon cloud.

Graphics and terminology are funny things.

reblogging this again for EVEN MORE information.

Phones still make a tuning noise when you’re waiting for someone to pick up even though phones haven’t had bells in years

We still say caught on tape when someone incriminates themselves while being recorded even though there hasn’t been a physical tape in recording devices in years.

Your jeans have rivets on the pockets even though modern sewing machines can sew through denim unlike the ones from a hundred years ago which required riveting to keep them together.

“Also, why various OP updates never changed “Save” to the graphic of a CD / DVD or flash drive is another mystery, and nowadays a Save icon should probably be a cartoon cloud.” 

This one is actually pretty easy to figure out– during the time the transfer would have happened the cd/dvd icon came to mean “write to disk”. Floppy is the last real dedicated use persistent storage media. SD is not very iconic and would be confusing while usb is not a dedicated storage medium so the usb symbol would be inappropriate.

By now the diskette is recognizable and has the added bonus of having royalty-free and open use icons ready for designers to plug into their programs.

The same is true for the near-universal symbol of “saving to the cloud” which has been in use for decades– a globe, representing the “world wide web”.

Why it wasn’t a 5¼ floppy is a mystery. The icon version is just as distinctive.

That’s easy. Because the imagery associated with the 5 ¼ floppy was already in use for the universal “Power on/off” standard.

Seeing the circle and dash together would indicate closing the program, not saving the file.

a family doesn’t have to be traditional! a family can be you and your adoptive father who is also your brother, your uncle who is your uncle but is kinda-sorta you and also is your brother, your sworn enemy who is technically your father and technically your uncle and also technically you, the man that hit you with a hammer and left you in a foreign country who is sorta colluding with your uncle-brother to take over your body and mind, and a sentient gold ball that likes to sit on your head

[dgm chapter 251 spoilers]

after crying coping for a while I really wanted to try tackling their designs. allen was easier than I thought he'd be, though his hair took me a few retries. it looks close to his current haircut, but maybe styled a bit different? I gave him a blue coat since hoshino said she wanted to draw allen in blue and he just got this new coat and is already leaving it behind...so past!allen can have a blue coat for now, I guess.

for bookman jr, well, old habits die hard and I stylized him pretty similar to how I was....drawing him for the past few years lol. green coat to match! as for his hair, lucia mentions that allen's silver hair reminds her of someone's hair when in the light, and given that all of the flashbacks of bookman jr show him with light hair I went with a light blonde!

DGM FANDOM HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT 251?????

BECAUSE I AM NOT DOING OKAY

On the one hand I am "happy" Lavi got an appearance after 13 fucking years, even if just being mentioned and not his character.

ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH??? THE MASSIVE LORE DROP?? BOOKMAN LORE AT THAT?????? I AM STARING AT IT. INJECTING IT INTO MY BLOODSTREAM AND BURNING IT INTO MY BRAIN.

ALSO ALLEN? PLEASE?? THINK ABIUTVWHAT YOU'RE DOING??? LIKE WHAT THE FUCK????
