Which artist?

>>7978219
Uh...2308691. Never got his name.

I wonder why artists even close their accounts, it's terribly frustrating.

>I didn't save them.
Haha, stupid idiot. Hope you learned your lesson.

>>7978224
What, you didn't even save a single image? For shame man.

And what about the boorus?

I'm literally just sitting here clicking refresh, hoping it'll magically come back.
He JUST uploaded something yesterday. How could this happen?

>>7978229
Deviantart-like drama. Don't think for a moment Japanese artist are above that shit. If anything, they're just as bad.

>>7978238
This is why, sometimes, they have links to their blogs in their profiles (just a bit below their three most recent pictures and three most recent favorites). Koudori, for example, did something like that recently, the only difference is that he just deleted everything on his pixiv account and now just uploads thumbnails there. However, the link to his blog is in plain sight, so my penis can rest assured.

>>7978229
And there are artists who don't allow their works to be posted outside of their websites/pixiv account, so you won't be able to find them on the boorus either.

Shit sucks.

>>7978238
You know, this happens a lot on jootube. Videos magically disappear for months, then magically come back to normal.

>>7978231

His gallery was about 20 pages of art, each one of his submissions was one of those sequence of pictures things, and most of them were longer than your average doujin. Some were 30 pictures long, some were 60, a couple were almost 200. I could never save all that.

>>7978255
You never saved a single picture? Of an artist you absolutely loved? Well, excuse me if this sounds fishy.

If you want the name of the artist, you could just ask for it so we could shitpost the thread, Anon.

>>7978255
you were not lady enough

>>7978255
I've never thought about doing this, but have you tried DownThemAll on pixiv's manga things?

He was that guy who did all the weird transformation stuff, if you didn't know. Never seen anything by him anywhere but his pixiv, save a mention on Touhou-Project.

God damn it. I'm devastated. I can't remember the last time I've been this crushed.

>>7978255
Use a pixiv downloader, found one months ago that works well.

>>7978260
You don't understand. His pictures were sequential to the point that saving just one or two would never do them all justice. I could have saved my favorite sets, but...that didn't feel right without saving ALL of them, because I looked at ALL of them.

>>7978251
Does that usually happen on pixiv too? The coming back part, I mean.

>>7978263
Oh good, looks like it was just shit anyway. I'm not missing anything with him gone.

>>7978294
He was sketchy, but unique. Nobody else did the stuff he did. Not to the same scale. Again, one picture does his work no justice.

>>7978315
I'm not talking about the sketchiness, I have no problems with that, never had. I just find /d/ shit unappealing.

Try if you can salvage anything by http://wayback.archive.org/index.jsp

>>7978320
Oh. Nevermind then, you would hate his guts.

>>7978333
That was the first thing I did. Useless, as usual.

>>7978333
The Wayback Archive only puts up content indexed by search engines, and since a search engine can never access the pictures (no account), nothing will get indexed.

Also, indexed material only gets up after a year or something.

the sketchyness reminds me of luigi64 on deviantart

>>7978267
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ank-pixiv-tool/

Saves all of the images at once. A godsend.

>>7978354
God damn that looks useful. If only...

>>7978344
RIKI's website gets indexed every month, or at least last time I checked.

>>7978361
Yes, they index many times per year if a page is popular, but it isn't put up until it is old enough. Or did they change that? It's been some time since I read the FAQ. Maybe now they make it available quicker.

I am also devastated by the disappearance of this artist. I've saved some of his work, and while it's not even close to everything, I figured I'd upload it anyway. Also my labeling is haphazard at best.

>>7978376
Well I suggested it because I saw stuff archived from last summer already, and if that artist really is "most fapped-too" I'd have presumed he already had some stuff there by then.
That said I never tried using the webarchive on pixiv so it was just an idea.

>>7978426
Thank you so much.
...looking at what's left just reminds me of all that's gone now. Aaaaaugh...
Turns out I did save one set. It's that one of Alice surgically turning Marisa into a teddy bear.

>>7978426
Were you that guy who I talked to on /at/ a couple months ago, by any chance?

>>7978505

No, I very rarely post anywhere.

Managed to find the artist's twitter account.

http://twitter.com/#!/gunma_in_omage

>>7978658
What's he saying?

>>7978681
Rather than quitting pixiv he is quitting altogether. I don't think you are gonna see any more of his works again.

>>7978724
Son of a bitch, it just gets worse and worse.

Artist drama is the worst.

>>7978724

Man, I hate when people do that. Rather then just leaving the shit there for people to look at, better delete fucking everything.

>>7978681
4 hours ago: Announcement- I stopped using pixiv.
4 hours ago: I decided to close the account without announcing because i thought its going to rot (can't understand). I don't have plans to show the pics i've drawn till today, or the pics im going to draw in the future. I feel sorry for people on "mypic", but i did it to end this.
4 hours ago: Its more like I stopped showing my pics rather than I stopped using pixiv.
4 hours ago: Since I didin't allow my pics to get posted on other sites, closing my pixiv account erases all my pics on the internet. Its so convienient.

sounds like he's buttmad for some reason.

>>7978784
Uh...could someone try to talk him out of it or something?

>>7978784

...yeah. Whata fag. "Hurf-durf, I'm pissed off, so no one that enjoyed my art ever can again!"

>>7978797
since i have a pregnancy fetish, i want to see his pics too. but sadly, i don't have a twitter account to try convincing him. i'll just search around the internet for now. i think his pixiv username was "おまげ".

>>7978857
>>7978797
Someone must do this.
I don't know any Japanese, much less how twitter works. You're my only hope, /jp/.

>>7978874
nah. i think its easier to search the internet with all your might (which is what im doing right now). or just giving up.
take responsibility!.jpg

>>7978909
It's worth a try. I'd do it if I could.

Since when did porn gain the endearing term art?

>>7978824
>Hurf-durf, I'm pissed off, so no one that enjoyed my art ever can again!
All of my hate is not enough for this.

Have they created a dedicated pixiv browser yet?

>pixiv 消して心機一転絵を描こうとおもったけどスケベ絵以外結局筆が進まないで
ござる
???

Oh right I forgot, did you try google cache?

>>7979304
A what?

>>7980396
How would I do that? I'd need to be logged in to see his R-18 work, and I can't do that with a cached page...right?

>>7978255
i have several thousand gelbooru favorites and i still backed them all up on tape. mind you, i did this on leeched wi-fi, outside, in the winter. i was getting 56k at best. you have no excuse for your laziness.

there is a very good song by led zeppelin that describes your predicament right now. it is called "nobody's fault but mine". i recommend you listen to it instead of whining to /jp/

>>7980545
No need to be an ass about it, Agent Orange.

While OP obviously could have handled things better, he's already been chastised, and he wasn't the only one affected by the loss, apparently. It's moved past whining, and into trying to rectify the situation.

>>7980562
Oh, I'm still whining. Just not to other people.

>FC2ブログとかいろいろ移住先探してるんだけどどっ
いいとこないかなー絵のライブラリ化ができそうなところでR-18Gでも怒られ
ないところ
What's this say? I've got a good feeling about it.

Seems like good news, he says he's been looking for sites to move into (such as FC2), somewhere that you can upload a library of pictures, and that doesn't mind R-18G content.

>>7980796
Oh god, that is excellent news.

count me in as another devastated anon. I feel a fool for only saving two sets of pics from that artist. it feels like only yesterday he was celebrating his 1000th "like"...

that EVA one, that was amazing and one I'll probably miss the most. no one else did it quite like him. most "sequences" amount to 2 pages, 1 really since you see the first straight up via thumbnail. nevermind how unique the stuff often was.

>>7980901
think you could upload those two sets to mediafire or something?

>>7980901
>most "sequences" amount to 2 pages, 1 really since you see the first straight up via thumbnail.
I hate it when pixiv artists do shit like that, especially when the second page is just the first without text.

>>7978824
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA~!

There is tons of blogs on fc2 and other free .jp platforms. Some of his pics can be there.

Did you try gelbooru, OP?
The usually host all the shit that danbooru doesn't.
But their taggon system is shit.

>>7980920
sure. how do I group them into a folder upload? can't figure this shit out. I'm old and my netfu is growing weak.

>>7980924
those are the worst! I appreciate textless images but god damn. I've all but given up clicking on 2-3p sets.

>>7980945
Gotta convert them to a .rar or something. You've got Winrar, right? Throw all your stuff in a folder, right click it and select add to archive. Upload the resulting .rar.

>>7980957
oh right. I'm an idiot. at least I can still program my vcr!! not much but this should do the trick. not sure why the one set is re-named. probably meant to give them all proper names and such someday but never got around to it.

>>7980972
It's something. Thanks, man.

>>7980796
any progress on this?
