Well would you look at that...
Seems promising, count me in as well! I'm gonna draw something Klonoa 2-related since that's my favorite game in the series.

So I can just post my artwork here, right? I made it 2000x1500 so I guess it's acceptable.
Normally I use the name "pedrovin" on tumblr so I guess I can be credited as that.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Excellent! The drawing fits within the page size just fine.

Updated the first post with the books new title, Dream Collective, along with the books cover artwork and a few minor tweaks to the rules.

Dragee generously helped compose a Japanese translated message for me to send to Mr. Ariga and Yoshihiko Arai (Atleast.. I believe I found his email address?)

Mr. Ariga replied to me today saying:

Katie A.さま

はじめまして。
メールをありがとうございます。

今は多忙なので難しいですが、締切が12月1日ならば
何か用意できるかもしれません。
（仕事の具合によって変わるので、約束はできないですが...）

情報をありがとうございました！

ShiftyLookのクロノアの続きはいつか描きたいですね。
それにはZIMさんのシナリオが必要ですが。

それでは！

What I got from a Google translate is that he is indeed very busy but he might be able to draw something for the book seeing the deadline is in December and that is a while from now. And he states he still wishes to someday continue the Klonoa Shiftylook comic of course.. erroneously referring to Jim Zub as Zim? I dunno but if he can swing drawing something for the fan book that'd be spectacular! I have faint hope I will actually get a hold of Arai anyways. :/

[Voka~Daemyn]

That news .. If even just a little hope I am really really excited to hear that.
Hmm I wonder what he is working on.

[RollingMeowcat]

Great! Ariga is happy to meet foreign Klonoa fans. And he says "thanks for letting me know".  Although Arai haven't responded, he might hear about the fanbook from Ariga. Remember their interactions on Twitter?

As before, Ariga keeps expressing his eagerness to continue DToNS with the scenario writer, Jim Zub. Now we only have to wait Namco's move...

[dragee]

Thank  you for send it I also hope he will join in!
BTW  What's the story on this book's participation rate?

[mushroom32x]

Ariga sent me another e-mail but I think all it is saying is that if I speak English I should just send him e-mails in English to avoid miscommunications? Also he apologized for misspelling Jim Zub's name as Zim. xD

Katie A.さま

すいません、ジムさんのスペルが間違ってました。
私は英語圏の人間ではないので、よくこういうミスをします...

あと、翻訳状態でメールを送って頂けるのは嬉しいのですが
やはり若干、わかりにくい部分があります。
それと私の日本語での返信も、ちゃんと伝わっているか不安になります。

なので、Katie A.さんが英語圏の方なら、メールは英語でお願いします。

私には翻訳家の友人がおり、多少時間を頂くと思いますが
英語メールならばニュアンスを含めた部分まで翻訳してもらえるのです。
（私の日本語メールも、友人が英語にしてくれます）

よろしくお願いいたします。


ありが

As for participation I've only received two submissions though I've seen many people reblog my tumblr post saying they wanna do it or are thinking... time will tell. :/

GREAT, Now i can't wait for this book!
