Wow, what a nice set of fanart.
Planetarian’s Steam Community Hub would be a cool idea to post some original fanart.
I love that art of the Junker resting on Yumemi’s lap. I really hope some more Junker fanart comes out of all this.
I’m doing some~! Hopefully it’ll be better than my skype call one.
Junker needs some love, man.
Dude, if you wanted some Junker you should have said something before I started drawing!
The bookclub has officially begun! Please share your fanart for the bookclub here!
Drew this last night. Wallpaper sized, and, uh, a bit bleaker than what’s usually depicted.
It’s up on my DA account here so you can check that out along with other drawings of widely varying quality or lack thereof.
Currently redoing my drawing of Junker exposed to the rain for the first time. Will repost when done
@Aspirety has requested Junker and I have answered the call!
The planetarian bookclub is now officially over, but if you post some fanart within the week then we’ll certainly consider exhibiting it in the podcast on Youtube.
Nooo don’t make yumemi a yandere!!
My thoughts exactly. Key tends to be the most emotional and occasionally tragic things out there, and yandere tend to be some of the most tragic characters if you pay attention, but if Professor Oak has taught me anything, its that “there is a time and place for everything, but not now.”
“Mr Customer, you WILL watch the next show with me, right?”
I like that too, it’s nice and gives a peaceful vibe. I also was working on some but sense im new it’ll take some time and i’m most comfortable drawing yaoi than anything else. So wish you guys luck!
This one actually comes from pixiv, and is one of a few I’ve seen where a fan artist tries to put a face to the other robots Yumemi talks about. I’m torn between thinking this is surprisingly common, or saying this doesn’t happen nearly as often as I’d like.
Hell, I’ve done a design or two but I haven’t scanned or touched that one up yet, so I don’t think it’s really all that presentable.
Note that one of the fujoshi in the lower left-hand corner is, in fact, a personification of Miss Jena.
Have another really old piece of fanart of mine. Draft of my idea of the Junker way back when before he had a face.
Now with totally necessary action shot next to an old original character.
The more I stare at this one, the more I love it. To me, Planetarian is about a set of very particular feelings, a very particular usage of atmosphere, and no fanart ever really encapsulates more than a tiny fraction of it. Even the new illustrations by Komatsu (the original artist) for the HD edition miss the point of Planetarian for me, yet this person managed it almost perfectly, with some VERY impressive lighting might I add.
Also, the watercolor in this one is just HNNNNNNNNGGGGGG
A decade ago, when I cannot get over with Planetarian’s ending, I drew an android character which I based from Yumemi. Maybe write myself a good ending for me to sleep soundly at night.
The initial story I wrote involves the MC being transported into another planet, which is a post-apocalyptic earth, and comes back with this “alien” technology to escape from his captors.
I then revised the story and added her to help the MC scavenge (and explain) for useful items for his escape. Basically, getting a war vehicle to work (at this point it’s almost similar to fixing Jena)
Though adding her would have me revising the established stories that occurred after the MC’s escape.
Which had me repeating what happened in Planetarian. Long story short, she was destroyed during the escape after convincing the MC to participate the escape. MC then uploaded her AI into the vehicle. The technology from the vehicle is the backbone of the MC’s underground base with her as the AI (the original story had the AI from the escape vehicle) for general function.
That’s a beautiful piece of artwork you got there! First impression is that she looks a bit like Lucia, from Rewrite.
Also, be mindful about spoilers in your post you don’t want someone coming in here and reading about the ending of the VN off the bat
