Cave Shooting Artworks

[Elaphe]

Recently I've read about a book of illustrations called Cave Shooting Artworks. I got these urls.

Now, can you read that and tell me if this book is available, old and out ot print, or new and yet to be released? Also, have you found any photos of the inside? I'm sure it must be cool, but I'd like to see something before I order it.

PD: I have already ordered the Deathsmiles and the Mushihimesama artbooks. I can't wait to get them!

I've got a box of 'em pre-ordered. They go on sale November 3rd.

[Elaphe]

Do you know if they will sell it in the Cave internation shop? I'd like to get this one and the ESPGaluda 2 artbook.

[rancor]

Doubtful since I don't believe it's put out by Cave themselves.

However, I have this book as well as the ESPGaluda II artbook for sale.

This one, right?:

Every thread is a rancor advertisement.

How much are you going to be selling the Cave Shooting Artworks book for, rancor?

How much are you going to be selling the Cave Shooting Artworks book for, rancor?

If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.

That's what rancor always tells me.

[Special World]

I, too, would like to know how much they are. I guess I'll find out the 3rd.

Is that Hobby Search site reliable? That can be my backup.

[rancor]

$45 plus shipping!

How much for the ESPGaluda 2 artbook? Is it new or used?

Oh lol, i've never actually bought anything their so never looked into the shipping.

[Elaphe]

I'm European. Same shipping cost in this case? Where are you from, by the way?

[rancor]

Yes - Same shipping costs. I'm in Tokyo.

[Elaphe]

Interesting. When you get the new Cave Shooting Artworks, please let me know (as well as the price), because I may get this and the ESPGaluda 2 book together.

Hey Rancor, do you know how many pages this is supposed to be, and whether it's all artwork or includes a lot of pages of kanji?

I can't read Japanese, so.

[rancor]

It will be 160 pages and mostly artwork. There may be a few pages of text, but the majority will be art. I'll let you know more tomorrow when I have my copy.

[Special World]

Okay, I didn't know if you bought a copy for yourself or what. Let me know how much is dedicated to Futari artwork, please :O

[Fudoh]

More interesting question: is there any new art or is this basically a cheap edition of last year's cave history book ?

[Special World]

That too. Could you compare it to Cave's other art books, maybe?

[rancor]

I just checked the tracking info, and they'll be there when I get home later today. I'll do a comparison and take some photos for this thread.

<3 u babi

[rancor]

Got it!

Ok - my thoughts:

pros - NO Japanese text, its ALL pictures. The pictures are large and full color. Good quality paper.
cons - you've seen many of these before. Not everything, but there are quite a few reprints.

Have a look!

Post more pics of the Ibara girls. Please?

[rancor]

Let me know how much is dedicated to Futari artwork, please :O

52 pages of this book is dedicated to Deathsmiles artwork. Second largest collection is Futari with 18 pages.

...and whether it's all artwork or includes a lot of pages of kanji? I can't read Japanese, so.

Aside from the front cover and the copyright info on the first page, there is next to no Japanese in this book. It's literally all art, and all in color.

Post more pics of the Ibara girls. Please?

I'll get some Ibara pics ASAP.

That too. Could you compare it to Cave's other art books, maybe?

Almost all of the other CAVE artbooks I have are pretty heavy on the Japanese - usually they include at least one interview. This book has none. Usually the pics in some other books are quite small, but almost every other page in this book features a full-page print. The weird thing is that this book was published by Softbank.

Thanks, Rancor! I think I'll order one from you next week if there are any left.

[Elaphe]

Rancor, any e-mail for ordering?
