Don't you hate it when artists delete their crap on Pixiv? I was looking for this image (possessing only the thumbnail) which I used to post a lot here (I'd say more than a year ago) but it turns out the creator deleted it.

Say, /jp/... you wouldn't happen to have it? I lost mine in a boating accident.

No, man... it's not there. I checked manually before going with IQDB, saucenao, and tineye. Saucenao said it was from Pixiv. Pixiv said the image was deleted. I even checked the artist's portfolio to confirm it.

They're drawfags using a public website, not civil servants. If you're that petrified of an image being removed, save it.

>> No.6833836

>>6833825
This. If you upload an image, you shouldn't remove it. It's discourteous towards everyone who likes your art. Especially if the artist has an "It's my gallery, I do whatever the fuck I want, assholes!" attitude.

>> No.6833837

I remember adding a artist to my AIM once and begging him for some older pics, because he didn't have much stuff out. And he wouldn't give me shit, I begged and I begged and I begged, but he wouldn't budge, it even came down to me telling him I just wanted to jerk off to more of his stuff and didn't care about his "art". And he just wouldn't give in, oh also, this artist drew raccoon lolis in corsets and lingerie.

Not OP, but I'm going to send an email to my favorite artist and tell them I want an archive of all the old pics they deleted. The artist in question is apparently a huge westaboo too so I'm going to send the message to them in english.

W-wish me luck, /jp/.

so people like us don't keep stealing their shit, sometimes adding it to random signatures and shit; and then we get mad at them for taking them down? I mean, I know it's their fault for putting it online, but I'm quite sure some of them get annoyed when people tell them what to do with their shit.

While I agree it's very annoying, browsing an artist's Pixiv account isn't a reliable way to get all of his art anyway. You always have to double-check on Dan/Gelbooru.

You could buy it through a proxy service and have it shipped to you.

Actually, no, don't do that. I wasted like 600 bucks last year doing that and I still haven't gotten around to scanning all of them.

>> No.6837535

>>6837532
fucking hell how much did you buy approximately

>> No.6837544

>>6837535
Well, it actually wasn't all doujinshi. But I'd say at least half of it was. Proxy services pretty much double the price of everything, and when you have all of toranoana or whatever at your fingertips and you know that IF I DON'T SCAN/BUY THIS IT WILL NEVER EVER BE SCANNED AND WILL BE LOST TO THE AETHER FOR ALL ETERNITY it makes it REALLY easy to splurge.

pretty much. There was a petit nendroid set for like 60 bucks on websites everywhere. I only really wanted two of the figurines to be honest but you can switch the parts around for fun.
Anyway, I waited too long and now it's not sold anywhere anymore, so I had to buy the two petite nendroids I wanted over ebay for like 40 bucks each.
So dumb.

Last time I attempted to use a proxy service for c78 I realized I had no idea how or where to start. Is there etiquette or a form you follow for it or do you just email them and bluntly link the item?

>> No.6837600

>>6837584
My experience (with Celga, so I can't speak for other services) was relatively painless. They had a FAQ section and a guide for basic formatting of different types of requests; it was easy. It was also expensive, but that's to be expected I guess.

>> No.6837625

With Celga, it used to be that you had to e-mail them bluntly, but I think they have a nice neat form for you to fill out when you register now it's revamped.

It depends. For the place I use (japantoy) they have a form where you enter in the link to the item and the price, you make your deposit, and then they buy it and once they receive it you pay the commission.
