New *sorta* CCS artwork (mobile game)

CLICK ON THUMBNAILS BELLOW TO ENLARGE!



This scene actually appears in the 2nd chapter of volume 8, so I guess putting it as 'new' is not exactly right...

For the ones of you who have seen many of the colored illustrations of the mobile game, I'm sure you noticed that many of them were re-drawn in some parts or even significantly completed: for example, a scan of Sakura drawn up to her waist in the manga has legs added to it for the mobile game, other example that happens often is flowers: tons and tons of flowers added to pics.
That said, out of everything I've seen until now, this was the most modified. So much was redrawn that I consider it as a 'sorta new art'.

In case you're curious, this is the b&w page of the manga:



IMPORTANT: when new pictures/views or versions in better quality are available, the only thread I update with the new material is this one: CCS mobile game: the new illustrations [thread updated when new arts are available] since having to hunt for/update separately each thread with each different artwork would be bothersome.

I really like it in color idk there it was a game for a phone, but it must be in japanese no?

How are you my friend??

Several hundreds of manga panels were colored for this mobile game, I totally recommend you to take a look at them! There are also many new gorgeous CCS artworks by Clamp ^__^
And yes, in japanese and in Japan only (like usual...)

I'm ok~ I commented your last journal entry a few days ago ^^

Someone really talented must be doing all the "re-drawing" work.

Sincerely, the mobile game is a mystery to me, in the sens that after seeing more than 700 hundreds pics I still can't tell sincerely if it's Copic coloring or if there is some unbelievable team using CG like I've never seen before, because in all these years, no matter how many artworks I've seen online, I've always been able to tell if it was traditional or CG, but I honestly can't tell now. That said, I appreciate the great job done with it either case ^^
The other mystery would be the level of involvement of Clamp in this project, we already know they are making new illustrations every now and then, but how much do they do about the actual manga panels is also unknown.

You can play it outside Japan though, I got it working myself, it was fun.

Would you mind telling us how did you make it work, from where did you download it? etc..
There are many of us who would love to have access to it!

Actually I signed up for Mobage who host it and just downloaded it on android, it played through my browser instead of the actual app. It rendered a little oddly but it still worked. It was a while ago but It allowed me to save some of the pictures straight to my phone, I imagine that's how we got some of the lovely pictures in such good quality. If you can access it properly, try messing around here. http://www.arika.co.jp/sakura/sakura_fp.html

Hi, thanks for the answer but I couldn't make it work after all T_T
Would you mind giving me more details?
What do you mean by 'signed up to mobage?', where and how do you do that? What exactly happened when you scanned the QR code with your phone and what kind of page do you see? Because I get to a page with 3 links (everything is in japanese which I don't understand at all): 2 blue links and 1 orange. The 2 blue ones seems to be the same and I get somewhere where I'm asked to send an email; for the orange one I seem to be supposed to write something and validate? This is as far as I went and understood.

Hmmm I'll try this again when I have time and see how it goes, I'll keep a record of what I do so I can advise you if it works again.

[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

It's ok, I found instructions on how to do it and was able to access it yesterday ^^
I'm still curious about how you save the pictures though.

apparently the new illustrations are monthly which is pretty cool...though, clamp seems to be taking extended breaks from their 3 manga series lately.

I just made a new thread about the latest illustration, how great that there're a new one each month! Let's enjoy it while it last!
