Jibun Gyorai, by Doronuma Kyoudai

As is often the case with these two artists, there's a well-drawn first story featuring a DQIII female having sex with one of the huge bandit guys followed by a more scrappily drawn story featuring the DQIII female hero in a futanari form.

In this case, the first story focuses on a sage while the second one has a futa Loto having sex with a futa warrior. Various DQ enemies get involved in the action. I'd seen images from this floating around on the internet a while ago but I've only recently found the full doujinshi.

The Polluted, by Crimson's Fleet

I bought this along with the last two DQIV CG sets posted on Dragon Quest Treasures. This set features all the main girls being raped by various DQIV enemies. It contains bukkake and pregnancy/inflation. The art's clean and of quite a high standard, as you can see in the preview images below.

24, Gundam 00 and Deep Impact were right!

Well done Barack Obama. Commiserations to any McCain supporters reading this. It's a shame that his truly good side didn't really come out until his concession speech.

lol McCain

Hey look, I found a decent Dragon Quest Halloween pic...

So anyway, I really don't want to be political on this blog, and I'm not American so it's really none of my business, but this just actually made me lol. I'm sure that most Americans have seen this already so this is for those that haven't along with all the people from other countries that visit this blog.

I don't want to show any preference to either of the Presidential Candidates (though needless to say I'll be downloading that Sarah Palin porno as soon as I hear it's out) so let me put it this way; I'll just leave this here...

Happy Halloween!

To be honest, Halloween isn't really a big deal here in the UK (or in most countries) and the people that most seem to enjoy it are North Americans and Japanese artists, who almost all seem to do Halloween-themed art on this day.

Over here its effects extend merely to the odd group of little kids knocking on your door and asking for sweets and sort of perfunctory appearances in chain shops (like maybe there'll be an offer on horror films or some line will appear in their promotional material such as "Devilishly good discounts this Halloween!")

Unless it's just being misrepresented by obsessives on the internet, it sounds as if in North America it's much more of an event. Over here in the UK, the only public holiday that people really make a fuss about is Christmas Day and New Year's Eve then to a far lesser extent Mothers' Day and Valentine's Day. Fathers' Day isn't seen as such a big event as Mothers' Day (though the greetings card companies are doing their best to change that) and Easter tends to pass without a trace unless you're a kid and get lots of chocolate eggs. Even the day celebrating England's patron saint, St George's Day, can easily pass without most people noticing. That said, the Irish equivalent, St Patrick's Day, seems to go off with more of a bang (and sales of Guinness going through the roof).

Anyway, that's enough of this little cultural exchange. I was looking around for Dragon Quest Halloween art and, to be brutally honest, none of what I found was any good. So I thought, OK, what fits into the following criteria: Halloween, Dragon Quest and this blog? For lack of ghost rape pictures, I decided to go for the DQIII witch (or, er, mage).

Hmm... There's not that many and I'm pretty sure a few of them have already been uploaded via sets. OK, here's some of the better Halloween artwork I've seen today (not DQ-related, sadly).

How's that for a more celebratory amount of images? Yes, some of them only got in because they have cute lolis in... Special mention goes to the next one as it's NSFW so may interest those of you who aren't too bothered about general Halloween-themed images.

DQIX Famitsu article and other DQIX news

The information in this post is all thanks to tummai from the Dragon's Den.

First of all, this Japanese new article at Dengeki Online.

It says you create your own party at Luida's bar (DQIII style), and you can change your characters' classes at the Dharma Shrine whenever you want. Another thing it said that I didn't catch in previous news was that you can change your character's appearance (hair, body, etc) anytime mid-game.

I don't think you can move around the battle field. It says that you give your characters commands in the classic turn-based DQ style and then your characters will "deploy and fight with animations that make it seem like a real battle is taking place". Looks like they are just trying to hype up the flashy animations.

Later, tummai went out and bought Famitsu and scanned the following pages for us.

He explains what each page says:

Nothing really new information-wise.

First page they talk about the trailer shown at the Tokyo Gameshow. They wonder about the tree and the light in the middle of the tree, and they point out that the big tree is located at the top of the floating castle.

Second page they comment on the battle scene movie in the trailer. They say that it appears the priest girl casts a heal spell on the hero and then the wizard girl casts Bikill. They talk a little bit about Luida's bar (nothing new) and they talk a little about the equip screen (use the stylus to drag equipment onto your character, item categories for weapon, shield, helmet, body armor, gloves, pants, boots and accessories. They wonder if the "Lv." at the bottom refers to the character's overall level, or just the level in his current class).

Third page talks a little about the battle system. Traditional turn-based DQ style. Battle scenes are animated with lots of movement to make it look like a real battle is going on.

Fourth page talks about some monsters. They point out that old favorites like drakies, killer machines, golems, goldmen, stonemen, werewolves and druins are in the game as monsters. They also point out the new monster, the "tiger lance" which has the torso of a lion, the legs of a horse and wields a lance. For the drakie/killer machine picture, they also point out that it appears that the party is surrounded and they guess that the enemies were able to attack first.

At the bottom of pages 3 and 4 they have the familiar class artwork, and they guess that they are soldier, wizard, priest, martial artist and thief.

A sharp-eyed member of Dragon's Den, Billy MK, also noted that it looks like the NPCs are sprites, not 3D like the party members.

This feels like it sort of vindicated what I was bitching about before (that DQIX won't look anything like the cutscenes in the trailer and that the game will be pretty constrained on the DS) but it's also kind of sad to see the game go off half-cocked (please don't let that be just British slang so that others can actually understand!) in this way, having to make totally anachronistic compromises with game design.

Minion of a Hero - Sexual Abuse of Maya CG Collection, by Witch Mercenary Team

OK, here's the 2nd set I bought today (well, yesterday technically). This features Maya of DQIV, as you can tell from the title, and features similar situations to the other Witch Mercenary Team CG set I've uploaded. This one also has a bit of anal and tit fucking. No wallpaper this time, though. On a sort of pointless personal note, I would have liked to have seen Meena in this set rather than Maya (even though they're pretty much identical...)
