Maybe you saw the option. Maybe you beheld its breakthrough. Maybe you even felt a doubt or two gnawing as this year crawled on, and nothing more seemed to be heard of this Zine, this (overambitious?) overture to Fullmetal Alchemist's 25th anniversary...
Well, doubt no longer. It's here. It's live. If you've ever put pen to canvas, if you've ever loved the trials and tribulations of the brothers Elric, come help us celebrate 25 years of Shonen Peak by redrawing its entire first volume, page by loving page!
Automail awaits. Colonels await. Maybe even a certain doggy awaits...

My apologizes for posting it so late, but here's my contribution to the fanzine "Magic Kaito Redraw", now released in full at itch.io
Please go check it out! There are a ton of amazing and talented artists who went together to contribute and redraw their retrospective pages from Volume 1 of Magic Kaito.
A collaborative Kaitou Kid fanzine!
I've tried to go on 1996-1998 art style of Detective Conan anime, trying to replicate the traditional cel look digitally. I'm not so good in anatomy so I tried to use the references from the Magic Kaito anime and the 90s era Conan anime as possible. The backgrounds were a bit complicated to do, since I don't usually paint them much and so had to see tutorials and again, references from 90s era of the Conan anime. I'd say they really paid off, and I'm proud of what I made for my page. Hope y'all like it just as well.
Once upon a time, a batch of us decided to redraw the first book of Detective Conan page by page into a Zine. And it was good.
Once upon a closer time, another batch decided to do the same with the first book of Magic Kaito. And it was good.
Why, then, not take the magic a little further still? Why not stroll around Tumblr and beyond, see how many of you like the idea of doing it with some real pillars of Shonen and Shoujo? 2026 has a whole bunch of Big anniversaries coming up, one after another...
So if this summer you think you'd like to put your pen and tablet to a certain boy's first Transmutation... a certain Pharaoh's first Shadow Games... a certain Princess's first Moontiara... and many, many more...
Just click on this interest form and make your vote heard! Enough artists interested in any of these (or a series of your own choosing!) and we'll take the effort to launch its very own Redraw zine!
Aaaaaand that's time, folks, you've been a great votership! @livmadart, if you'll please hand me the winn... oh who am I kidding, we all know who the favorite was.
So our main priority will be getting his Redraw off the ground this summer (with a certain King of Games in a close second). But if you voted for one (or more!) of the others, despair not. We said we'd make a serious effort for every series that got more than 70 votes, and by now all of them have left that figure far in the dust! Maybe we should've set the bar a little higher...
Getting down to business... a set of preproduction emails has already gone out to all of you who checked (or mentioned) interest in modding one or more Redraws, so if you haven't already, please check and respond as soon as you can. And if you never checked that but figure you might be open to modding after all... please let us know ASAP! Inbox and DMs are always open on this blog!
To clarify: no formal signups have gone out yet. Those will go up individually for each zine that makes it off the ground, once a Discord infrastructure and proper number of mods have been established. We'll do our best to keep you updated both on Tumblr, and through your emails (if you left those on the Interest Check).
That should be all, except... oh. If there's a particular page of your chosen series you just can't get out of your head, and will Literally Die if you don't get to redraw... read on for a sneak preview of the method we'll probably be using to assign pages!
So we'd be lying if we said First Come-First Served isn't going to factor into this, but trying to soften its sting as much as possible, we created the following system for the Magic Kaito Redraw's signups:
Got it? Decide what page(s) you want ahead of time, and jot 'em down in order of priority. We've got a spreadsheet wiz on staff who can take all the aggregated results and hand at least 93% of artists one of their top-five picks! If you and someone else put the same priority on a page, though... it's back to First Come-First Served.
(Some of you are no doubt digging your personal volumes out, but try not to stress too much over exact page numbers before the actual signup(s) go up. Only the folder of pages we personally assemble for the signup will count.)
On a separate note: if you have thoughts about collaborating with someone else on your redraw, please talk it out before the signup. The only kind that'll be allowed are those who jointly sign up as a team, not artists who look for partners mid-event.
veery late but here's my page for last year's @mkredraw zine 🩷 such a fun, cute project, i was happy to attend to. Loved to see all the artists pages and also thanks for the mods for their wonderful work ⭐
Last year, I joined the @mkredraw as an excuse to experiment with the five billion tone brushes I have and never use. It was definitely a fun learning experience. I always miss out on these cool things, and I'm hoping to do more in the future!
I enjoyed attempting to make Nakamori-keibu very BabyGirl™️.
lil extra page i did a while back for @mkredraw! go check out everyone's amazing pieces, each is so unique and a love letter to our favorite phantom thief 🩵🔍
About time I post my own page! I had a lot of fun joining everyone on this awesome project that @mkredraw made happen. If ya want to look at all the amazing pages check out this post here.
In the beginning, we had a dream: to show Ekoda's prince of thieves, Gosho Aoyama's favorite son, all the love and talent that four-eyed little smartass in Beika can get without asking. Like so many dreams, its path was neither short nor easy; things waxed and waned and, at least once or twice, might've fizzled out altogether before that first interest check even went up.
But we believed, and you believed, and whatever pits and bumps came along the way, all of us worked it through. No phantom thief could ask for a better assemblage of artists, or a better community.
Without further ado, we present: the Complete Magic Kaito Redraw! In two vivid venues!

Itch.io
Down a copy, tell all your friends, start posting your full pages wherever you like! (And if you're part of our Discord, do consider a look at that exit-survey in Announcements if you haven't already!)
I was invited to be a part of this, and took home the page with Toichi's first appearance. Me being probably the single english Toichi fangirl out here, I felt Gosho never really gave the man a good entrance?
So I took it onto myself to make it a little more dramatic. I hope you like it!
Been a little busy but here is my page for @mkredraw!
Endlessly grateful to join so many wonderful artists in celebrating the silliest best phantom thief ever.
If you're interested in seeing all the amazing artists, be sure to check out the full zine!

A while ago I contributed two pages to @mkredraw zine. It was a lot of fun and all the pages turned out so cool and unique. You should totally check them out!
