Wanted: Cecil/Rody Pix

[mark_asphodel]

 Dear fans with better knowledge of Japanese than I have:

Where in hell can I find fanart of Cecil and/or Rody from Monshou no Nazo?  Cute, dramatic, romantic... ANYTHING.

Kthxbai.

crossEMPIRE is hit or miss for me, some of the art I love, but in general I'm not very fond of the sketchy look or the preponderance of AU art. But the sheer amount of output is impressive. (And yes, the artist is an Elto/Lachesis fan... they've drawn some pretty suggestive Minerva/Misheil stuff too!)

Tried to access it through the Wayback machine and no luck, damn it all. In-character prOn is such a rarity....

You might be able to salvage some pieces by searching "c10cosi" -- her (I assume her due to some of the comments on her site) art has been pretty popular/well known among English fanbase as well for years. I'm really disappointed about this site closing (if it did; I'm hoping it's just temporarily down) -- I'd just checked it a few months ago too. :( It was really good art, and the site had links to a lot of other excellent fanart sites (both NSFW and not).

Also, is it just me, or do most of the extant sites have terrible design, like circa-2000 design with glitchy frames? Maybe it's just a cross-browser issue...

Yar. They love their frames. (It's either frames or artblogs, I don't think I've seen any other format ever. XD Except for the one-page sites that make you scroll foreverrrrrr. Frame galleries are most common though.) They haven't been glitchy for me though, what browser do you use? A lot of Asian sites are IE-compatible only, but Firefox works fine for me most of the time.

As a threesome?

Not quite romantic threesome, yah.

Thanks so much for taking the time!

Glad to help. Share the loot if you find any good stuff! XD

(PS. A few things I forgot to mention:

- "絵" is the label for galleries. Some sites write "illus"/"gallery" in English but other sites use 絵 or 絵画館.

- http://honyaku.nifty.com/ is usually better than Babelfish or Google Translator if you get stuck -- some sites make you type in passwords or click hidden links to get inside, just to make it harder for non-Japanese readers.

- There are also themed web directories that you can search with like http://forseti.info/, which links to fansites of FE1-3, but I've rarely used them simply because they are really time-consuming; some sites list themselves as fans but don't have art -- some only have fanfic and some are strategy sites or personal sites even.)

Oh yeah and re: @nifty -- right side box is for a URL, left side box is for text; first option on both sides is english -> Japanese so switch to second option for japanese -> english.
