20 years of Shakugan no Shana !!
I probably should have made this post yesterday since the day is already turning over in Japan !! Technically I saw the Shakugan no Shana anime a month later back in 2005 those many years ago !!
I have the entire anime collection on DVD and bluray !!
The manga didn't do well over here so I only have those 6 volumes !!
The first wall scroll is above my desk where I keep my laptop and the second wallscroll is at the head of my bed
One of my favorite shirts even though I'm still trying to get Anime Ape to create a button up for me !!
Of course my necklaces which include the 90s NY license plate with "Flame Haze" written across it and seperated by the statue of liberty with my replica cocytus pendant !! I have had other replica pendants but this one is the most accurate to the anime and I wear it every time I go out !!
Gotta include my ring that I found by accident because I also wear that when I go out as well !!
The only figure I ever got of Shana was the Dengeki Bunko one shortly after the game came out !!
What a time it was and a time it continues to be. I finally found a Shakugan no Shana community this year which has also been nice (:
Eat feces DKMS !!
Literally how dare they force me to use manual intervention like I'm installing Arch from scratch again !! XD
Shakugan no Shana concept button ups !!
Anime Ape has yet to come with Shakugan no Shana button ups so I conjured up a few concept ideas using Gimp, anime screenshot renders, and lots of lots of patience considering some pieces had to not only be rendered but clone stamped as well for semi accurate depictions. I can't draw very well so this is kinda the best I can do but I guess would otherwise get the message accross
First up is the Shana concept button up pattern design featuring her flame wings, her iconic sword, Alastor's divine vessel, and judgement(the big flaming eye). The background color is crimson because flame haired blazing eye button up is where it's at !!
Next up is the Margery concept I came up with !! Featuring the toga(Margery's wolf form but I took the ultimate form when she's juiced up on power of existence xD), her unrestricted spell insignia(I had to clone, copy and do a full rotation to get the entire thing), the iconic bookmark she uses for communications(more cloning, copying, pasting and rendering because I had to remove Tanaka's hand from it), and of course Marchosias' divine vessel. The background color is ultramarine the color of such a beatiful vessel !!
Continuing on, I really did kinda struggled with this one because Wilhelmina is very tactical but since her mask has 2 variants in the anime I figured I'd incorporate them both. The season 1 and season 2 onward. I did consider keeping the ribbons on them both but rendering them didn't come out as I expected. You can atleast determine they are from the same source despite that and of course the iconic headband that doubles as Tiamat's divine vessel. The background color is cherry blossom which is the winning flame here
I said to myself I wouldn't make a Yuji one and unintentionally didI did anyway but I'm just gonna refer to this one as the mystes concept !! This design includes the iconic blue flame of a torch, the midnight lost child(reiji maigo itself with those gears turning), and the Blutsauger or bloodsucker sword !! The background color is black not only for the amount of color contrast here but if you know than you already know at this point XD
While I highly doubt even after all this that Anime Ape would come through, it's always nice when my favorite anime gives me ideas to create something !! Because who doesn't love fan art at this point xD
