レム

    

Exhibit A. a picture I saw on 4chan's /v/ while desperately looking for people with whom to discuss Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver and at the same time making use of /rs/ to try and find an elusive doujinshi. I was very impressed by the artistic talent of whoever it was who painted this, and I set about finding out his name and if he had done any others like it.

Exhibit B. a gift I received from the original picture's creator, レム (Remu). I got a tip to check out the Japanese website Pixiv. Think of it like a Japanese DeviantArt of sorts, I guess. I still haven't quite figured out what niche it occupies, myself. Anyway, I go to Pixiv, sign up for an account, locate Remu's profile, find the picture, and send him some messages. He replies a few hours later with this generous gift. Awesome, awesome, awesome. (Note: I specifically asked him for a larger, text-free version. And what does he give me? A larger, text-free version. A much larger, text-free version. :D Sweet.)

Edit: it appears that Blogger's image hosting service does not allow images beyond a certain size, and it auto-shrinks them to fit. Exhibit A is supposed to be 800 x 1206, and Exhibit B is supposed to be 1600 x 2411. I have linked you directly to レム's courteous link he provided to me personally, but in case his bandwidth is limited (I have no idea! I only just met the guy!) I'll be taking that link down in a couple of days. Ask me to put it back up if you're late to the party and want the image! ^^;
