Notes/Babbling: The HagaRen Under Search site is SO BAD FOR ME. *forces self away* Also? There are over 1,300 sites in the HagaRen webring already. *boggles* (Oddly, no FMA this time. >_o)

- Prince of Tennis - Snow in Savanna [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - I admit, I was a little hesitant on this site at first, because the art looked odd (pretty, but a little bit off for the anime/manga characters)... until I realized the artist was doing musical-based art and holy shit this is really kind of neat! There's little in the way of genuine "....I never thought of that, COOL!" in fanart, but this site--and I'm just noticing that this is the same artist who does the RPG site, with all the pretty art of the characters from a, well, a fictious (....I assume?) RPG game, which was also SO COOL--really does a great job. Not only is it a great concept, but the art is really well-done. She captures the feeling of the characters and actors in their roles, the feeling of the musical itself, and the art is very PRETTY, I adore her colors and shading. All in all, a very cool site. ♥ (No warnings/pairings.)
- Yu-Gi-Oh/Naruto - GOGYONAMJA [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - Every once in awhile I come across a YGO site that just... eh, I don't really browse YGO fanart much, since I'm not really into the series, but every once in awhile I'll come across a banner on another site and the art will intrigue me and I'll find something like this. The artist has a phenominal level of detail to her art, she really nails the CG style, and her colors are beautiful. It's not necessarily going to be for everyone, it's very CG-ish, but... I dunno, I was really impressed with some of her newer stuff. (Her OP art was just... cute, really. Like OP meets a Ribbon manga, yet somehow it was CUTE! XD) ....I still boggle that I find these things, though. Still. Pretty art! ♥ I'm going to stick this in the Naruto section as well because there are about seven or eight illustrations and they're all just SO FREAKING CUTE. I love the artist's sense for those jewel-toned colors; they may not be in line with the original series, but they're so pretty that I was won over. Plus, a couple of absolutely adorable YYH illustrations and I was sold! ^_^v (No real warnings/I don't know the YGO pairings, no Naruto pairings. >_>)
- Princess Tutu/Detective Conan - 222 [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - This is one of those sites where I honestly tried to pick out one or two favorite illustrations... and I could not do it, because the artist does this gorgeous work, really capturing the spirit/feeling of the series. She uses these gorgeous, soft colors that work absolutely perfectly for a series like Princess Tutu and she drew the characters so wonderfully, with so much love, I just sighed happily over everything--whether it was Ruu-chan watching duck!Ahiru in the grass or Fakia dancing with Ahiru or hugging her or almost kissing her or holding her duck form or if it was a lovely one of Edel-san or if it was a beautiful illustration of Ahiru's transformation or if it was one of Tutu dancing with the aardvark from episode two. The art was just... everything I want from a Princess Tutu fansite, especially with Fakia/Ahiru. I am completely gone on those two and while I like ALL the characters, seeing those two together... it makes me fall in love all over again. This is one of those sites that just put me into a floaty, happy, fangirl MOOD and I can never ask for more than that from a site. I'm also going to include this site in the DC section because, while it may not have it's own gallery, the art here is FANTASTIC. It's the misc section, but there are a good number of illustrations and some of the coloring and linework is just incredible. (Fakia/Ahiru, some gen.)
