Kagamine Rin Fanart

I'm back... well, I can't really said that I've fully recovered... still it was better than having no vacations at all...
I worked on a sketch I did few days ago... and here's the result... a Kagamine Rin fanart... which has the same theme as the Miku fanart I did earlier... I hope you'll enjoy it x3.

-Kim

Hatsune Miku fanart and....

I'll be gone for a few days from the 23th on until 25th or 26th...

The reason for that is because I've overworked lately and my doctor told me to take few days off in order to recover properly... that's why I will be away for Christmas... and will, hopefully come back in a recovered state... well, I sure hope that the other staff members will do something new until then, as for me, I'm preparing myself for a project with Buster Wolf and I'm drawing Vocaloid fanart recently...

Until I'm back I won't be able to post anything new... so, I wish you all Merry Christmas and a wonderful time until then... ;3

Gallery updates coming soon

Dax asked me to write this...

We will upload the galleries in the coming up weeks, yes, even the PSP-gallery...
Please be patient until then. ^^

As for you don't have to wait that long, here's another sketch for you:

Rate Us!

I know what I said on the previous post: no more updates... but I couldn't help myself you guys... so to make you wait, I give you the new rating system! You can now rate for the pictures you like, only in the normal gallery!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Gallery Update - New Pictures

As promised, I give you the final technical update for now. Ladies and germs, I give you the newest sub-gallery of the Green Apple Cider Gallery, "KAz's Sketches"!

(Please note that the name may differ from the original product)

You can always go check it out by clicking here to get to the gallery or by clicking in the navigation bar to the right of the page, under the Special Links column.

I hope you enjoy, leave comments as always!

-Dark Daxter

Back to normal, stuff gonna be delayed.

Due to the fact that some of us are in college, in their final exam session and need to study in order to pass, Green Apple Cider will be slow. This means no technical updates concerning the site, gallery and the PSP gallery will be announced.

We won't leave you waiting with nothing though... expect a gallery update with a new set of pictures, maybe two, until we get back on track, meaning after christmas (which is more probable to happen).

Yes, the staff, minus me, may post some new pictures, I have no doubt about this. But other than that, do not expect anything from me.

I am hubly sorry and I hope you guys can be patient...

-Dark Daxter

PS: The layout is back to normal, showing up three posts on the page.

New Header

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know about the new header

*points to the top of the page for those who have not seen it yet*

The original picture was drawn by Kima, and I just added it to the layout.

Hope you enjoy,

-Dark Daxter

PS: Now, only one post shall be shown per new post instead of three. This means that every time someone posts a new article on the blog, only their article shall be shown. This method will save some space on our blog. It may be temporary or permanent, depending on the popularity of the layout. Polls will open in a few days.

CHINA DRESS x3!!!

Yay xD!


I'm finally ready for our project now... more or less. It's wonderful, it seems the team is starting to trust me, this is a good sign for our teamwork! I discovered that I am the oldest member -.-... makes me something like a big brother huh?... That kind of sucks... However, now I feel responsible to take care of things, let's hope world doesn't go under because of that lolz ^^; however, my individual project is almost over, that makes me a bit relieved again, guess I can continue things now... btw, KAzu finally made it to the blog writer section too, I just hope that he will make good use of this, to make this place a bit more active, it hasn't been updated much lately and I hope that will change soon! D:





However, here's a picture for our first 100 pageviews xD
This is yet another nameless character, same as Mary, it's not sure if she will ever see the sunlight again, I guess not until we find a place for her... I wonder if KAzu is going to color her for us...

A little introduction of our current team

Okay, since I'm in a good mood recently, I've decided to introduce our current team members.

KAzuri is a really wonderful colourist in our team, he agreed to do the colorings and background illustrations for our next project.

Dark Daxter is our mastermind when it comes to organisation and programming, he is responsible for our sides's layouts and settings. He's also the lead programmer of our next game, a true friend, partner and lifesaver!

BW is the only team member who will work with me on a seperate project during our game project, the doujinshi project. I absolutely adore his drawing abilities, since he is really skilled in drawing poses, which i cannot D:, at least now... I want to learn as much from him as possible and of course, to make some good projects.

A yet still not a full member of our team is our young and talented clothes designer. She's our jewl and only female member so far... ( that's why I'm so happy about, a female member, isn't that encouraging? (°A°);;; ) If you are impressed by some clothes design we have here, think of her and thanks God for sending us her helping hand.

At last, the final member would be me... how should I call myself... an all'rounder? So far, it looks like that I'm sticking my nose into the other members works and try to learn as much as possible... I'm nowhere the best... you could call me multi talented... but I don't really think so D:... different from them, I still haven't found my place yet... I still don't know where I'm the best at... maybe in thinking of the stories for our projects? I don't know... however... I think that everyone in our current team is happy about my present... and that's why i have to keep improving to not let them down D:

Well, that's the current team of the Green Apple Cider... awesome huh? ^^

I still hope that our team is increasing, life would be less stressfull if we could split teams for seperate projects, that way we could be more productive for all the manga fans around.... let us hope that we will keep up gettin better xD

EDIT: This little picture of our little mascot is a gif animation, have fun ^^, it's free for everyone! except you want to use it for some reasons, ask us first... cause Cider-tan is © by the Green Apple Cider Studios...

Preparing for Project

Dear readers, right atm everyone in the team seem to be very busy with improving their styles to get ready for our first project. As for me, the Sketcher and Liner of the team of course try my best to also do my part as a team mate.

Here's something I was working on lately and I hope you will enjoy it ^^.

New Gallery + Pictures

The Dating Sim Project, which was supposed to be officially announced here on the blog, but due to Kima's big mouth, the surprise is ruined... lol...

*prepares a huge katana and hides it behind back*

All this leads to the addition of a second gallery, which can be found in the Official Gallery. Enjoy!

-Dark Daxter

Gallery: V. 2.5!

After a few tweaks here and there, we have succeeded in making the gallery cross-browser and cross-platform, meaning it'll work everywhere! We are proud to present you this new version of the gallery, still using the same design as the previous one.

Again, please wait for the page to load completely before even clicking on an image: this'll guarantee good results and better browsing.

Thank you for supporting us, and here is the link to the new gallery.

See ya!

Bugs

We are currently experiencing some problems with the gallery, and so will you. Please note that we may have to delete the gallery for a while and start the whole thing over, so please remain patient with us, as we are working hard to bring the whole feature back to life.

We are sorry for this bug.

Let us say that we are in maintenance and that it may be a while before we get it back online.

Meanwhile, the PSP Gallery is still there, you can always check it out!

Sorry,

-Dark Daxter

KAzuri's in the Studio! O.o

Yes, you read it right... KAzuri is now in the Green Apple Cider Studio team as one of our artists!

For this event, we shall celebrate with another set of news, which surely would make some of you happy... the SAFE Gallery is coming very soon! Expect to see it online in a few days, which shall contain KAzuri's pictures in the first SAFE Gallery!

We sincerely hope that the site is convenient to you, we truly do!

See ya soon, with many updates coming!

-Dark Daxter

Site Count Widget

Just so you know how many people hit the site, we installed a small site counter widget, powered for free thanks to BlogPatrol. We are thinking about releasing the stats soon enough, but not yet... let's give the site a bit time to adjust itself to the net.

TTYS!

-Dark Daxter

Comments!

You can now officially comment on the Green Apple Cider Gallery! Just under the gallery box, you should see a "Leave a comment" link. Clicking on it prompts a form allowing you to place comments. Please remember that leaving your email is very optional and a very personal option for the user him/herself. We do not distribute nor sell these addresses.

The staff reserves the right to remove any comments we found inappropriate, such as any comment that is racist or targeted at a specific user/artist.

Hope you enjoy the new feature, many pictures coming soon!

-Dark Daxter

Gallery online!

Dear fans, the Green Apple Cider Studio is proud to present you the official Green Apple Studio Gallery! We have worked very hard to bring this first version of the gallery, which will be updated over time.

Of course, to protect our users, we have implemented a ToS, which is a Terms of Service contract which is set to protect underaged users from viewing mature content normally reserved to users who are 18 years of age or older.

Anyway, the gallery titles have their own ratings, so if you wish to check a specific gallery but do not know if it's rated 18+, simply check the rating on the title.

The SAFE Gallery is on it's way, and for users who wish to browse the gallery on their Sony PSP System, feel free to check our PSP-compatible mini-site here!

I hope you enjoy our work, as the team is working hard to satisfy you every day!

See ya!
