Valentine's is coming up real fast - what a way to go into Yui thread 174!
On a different note, the original thread 174 surprisingly 404ed. In all my time here I don't recall ever seeing a Yui thread 404 - /c/ is getting more crowded. It was also a really uncanny timing - in the original thread Tenshiro announced his desire to move on from making Yui threads and asked for someone to take his place. Long story short, I offered to for Yui, and here we are. I wanna thank Tenshiro once again for starting these threads during the past four years. They've been treasured by all of us! For the near future I think we'll need to figure out a way to move on with the thread archives to keep those going. Other than that, let's just keep on as we always have to give our dear angel Yui the love and attention she deserves!

Here's a link to the 404ed thread by the way >>2840969
Daily reminder that Yui is love.
Oh by the way, before I forget, if you are still around Tenshiro, I have saved a sketch you made based on this drawing. From way back, like 2012 or 2013. Did you make any others? I always meant to ask, and I guess now is a good time.
well done
Yui chan! <33333
Geez, and I waited for a new thread for post one of my best Yuis and ended being literally the last post of the thread.
>>2842382
Fuckin' saved
>Yui will never ask you to sleep with you and cuddle with her until daybreak, caressing her soft hair and cupping her shoulder as she leans her head against your chest, and eventually doze off to your dreams with her.
Why live
>>2842604
Because if we don't live, who will be there to remember Yui and carry on her love?
>>2842382
I forgot about the cup. Is there a new season underway? Either way, stellar work as always Yui! I'm proud!

Yeah, Winter 17 has started and /c/'s next match is tomorrow (or today depending on location).
/c/'s first elite cup in 3 years
>>2843067
>>2842815
Also agree Yui is love
>>2841213
I'd like to express my thanks to you (and everyone who contributes) also for being a part of the threads! One alone a thread does not make, it's everyone here who makes these awesome! And thank you so much for continuing the legacy.
As for the archive, I've been putting it into a personal google drive these last years, something similar would probably work, though it obviously doesn't have to be personal. (I'll still archive this one and the next one with the 404'd one as well, if that's okay)
>>2841271
I'm just older and busier is all, so I can't maintain the commitment as I used to. There was a time I prided myself on getting threads restarted within hours, but obviously I haven't been able to do that for a long while.
I'll still be sticking around and posting when I can, I doubt I'll be leaving for good anytime soon
>>2841437
I know right? I didn't even realise until I went back and gathered the older archives. Time flies and all that! As for clarification, I am only going to be stepping down from OP'ing and archiving, I will continue to post when I can
>>2842029
I remember that, yes! And I did do one that I saved (attached). It got a bit messy
>>2841991

>>2843067
Cool! I'll have to see if I can find these recorded somewhere. It's not the same as seeing it live, but I've already missed some, and finding time for it is hard.
>>2843363
>>2843362
Happy to hear you'll still be sticking around! Yui deserves all the love! Yeah, I will see what I can do about the archives. My problem is I use mobile mostly, so getting all the stuff downloaded is troublesome. But the times I'm on PC I can take care of it. Just a thing, though, having two separate archives might be a bit messy maybe, if there's both a link to the current one, and to a potential new one. Not worrying by any means but just an observation.
And that's a good Yui! She's very cute! Also, did you make that collage (for her)? Then great! I don't think I've seen it before.

Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to take a look when I have some spare time and cheer for Yui!! Also, cute Yui there!
Daily reminder that Yui is love.
I think you guys might like what I'll post in a couple of hours.
Happy Valentine's Day! Love you Yui!
I had a blast making this. It was 95% done during classes with only my writing pencil and black ballpoint pen, tugging the paper under a textbook and making a few traces at a time.
I'm happy to say that I didn't use any reference for this and this is the result of her just being on my mind all the time. Who knew that she would help me get better at drawing, she really is the greatest.
That said, the image itself is compressed because of the 4 MB file size limit, so if anyone wants to see the full version: https://mega.nz/fm/KN5SmYiI
Happy Valentine's Day Yui, I love you so much!
>>2844664
This is really great! Thanks for making such a sweet thing for Yui! I'm sure it will warm her heart very much!
Your drawings were always good but I think they've been getting even better with time too for sure! Keep it up! Have you experimented with colour yet? Also, people like your Yuis a lot, I think you should open up a pixiv account or similar, where you can reach out to more people. And in the same spirit, I hope to see many more Yuis from you! They're wonderful!
About how long did this take you to make by the way? I'm extra curious since you said you mostly drew in class.
I wish I could have done something for our sweet Yui too, but I'm still busy moving, and having Valentine's in the middle of the week wasn't ideal either. But especially because of the former, I didn't feel I could express my love appropriately for Yui since I have so little to work with, and I can't do her injustice by making something without putting my heart into it, like she would deserve. But she's been in my heart all day! And I hope next time, that I can celebrate her better! For now I just wanna say I love you Yui!
There's been a lot of new Valentine's Yuis today, it's really great! I'll be uploading some of them! This one's really sweet!

Valentine's reminder that Yui is love.
>>2844782
This day is also special for me because last year's Valentine's day was when I started doing the daily reminders for Yui. Time goes fast! And most importantly, Yui is still love, and will keep being it! So here's to another year of well deserved love for our angel!!
Another new Yui https://twitter.com/Kawaiioma/status/831590658913689601
>>2844782
I haven't really done anything in color, Yui or otherwise. The only thing I've got is this: http://i.imgur.com/dhsR1Mp.jpg
(it's a lot rougher than usual because I used strictly pen for it, only using pencil for the fade in the back).
And that's just coloring with ballpoint pens (which is awful, but it's what I've got in class), but I haven't actually experimented coloring pencils. I am actually terrified of them because I feel like they "pretend" to shade like a normal HB pencil, when in reality all they do is smudge and make things look awkward and impossible to blend other colors in.
And that's another thing, the fact that I only draw in black and white and that I don't do digital art is kind of a killer towards starting up an account on pixiv. I don't think anyone is particularly interested in what I do because it's a rather primitive art, considering that photoshop and drawing tablets exist everywhere nowadays.
As for how long it took to make it, it took me 5 days during class (three of those ended at around noon, two at 4 o'clock). I'd say it was at least 10 hours. Of course, it might take less time if you're not under pressure by making sure you're not seen by the teacher, and having access to reference material.
The actual process consisted of an initial sketch, outlining and early shading with pencil, then tracing everything with the ballpoint (with minor shading here too) and then the rest of the shading with pencil. Limited amount of materials make it a little more challenging, but also fun in a way.
One thing is for certain, I'm definitely glad I took my time with this, it's like you said, I want to give Yui my very best.
>>2844664
What a cute Yui!
>>2844664
She's perfect anon!
>>2844664
She's so pretty! Great work, Anon!
>>2842604
So we can look at more Yui
>>2844837
Haha I was partly asking how long it took to get an idea how much of class you skipped. Don't know how you can pull off hiding it for so long, but it depends on the setting of course. I'm assuming class is mandatory, otherwise it feels like you'd be elsewhere.
That aside, I think you're undervaluing your own works! It doesn't have to be digital art for people to enjoy it, and your stuff is clearly very well made, and better than a lot of stuff you will find. Think about it some more, because I still recommend uploading your stuff somewhere.
>>2845461
This is a very good reason.
Another new Valentine's Yui!
Daily reminder that Yui is love.
>>2845919
Some of these new Yui's are gorgeous
>>2845538
Unfortunately I am in my last year of high school, so yes, the classes are still mandatory, and I've pretty much had it with them, so I spend my time in them doing more productive things like drawing, even if it does cost the extra effort of trying to hide it all the time.
It is an effective, time-saving strategy, as I have more free time when I get home.
Anyways, I looked into pixiv specifically, and I just don't think it's cut out for me. I searched for a bunch of tags of things that I liked, and it seems pretty limited to "cutesy" art (pardon my inculture, I don't actually use pixiv at all, I just use dan when I search for yuis).
However, I do think you have a point that I should at least put my work up somewhere, even if it goes nowhere (which I don't expect it to), do you mind giving me a couple of other suggestions?
I apologize for insisting, I'm just not used to this kind of thing.
>>2846005
I see. Hope your classes go well though.
And yeah, pixiv is a bit of work to get into so you get the workings of it. But it's the best place for finding new Yuis, since most artists are posting there. Some other sites that people use are DeviantArt, Twitter and Tumblr. Maybe one of them would fit you more. They all fill their own niches. I only use Twitter of these and there's a lot of really great artists who use it too, so I find a lot of new Yuis there. There's been a huge wave of new Yuis too, it's really great!
Like this; New Yui!

Also For those interested:
We'll try again in Spring, and hopefully do better

Well thats a bummer. Lets hope for the best!

Cool Yui! Don't think I've seen it before! Is it new?
Speaking of, here's a new Valentine's Yui I forgot to post. She's really good!
Daily reminder that Yui is love.
>>2846165
I decided to go ahead and make a twitter account. https://twitter.com/hahahasplat
Unfortunately, the yuis I've previously posted here are the only ones on there as well. Most of my yuis are actually just short sketches on my notebooks, and I only tend to scan larger, multiple hour projects.
In any case, I'd love to get some ideas for a new Yui. If any anon has a request, I'll take it into consideration.
>>2848333
I found that one on pixiv a couple of weeks ago so its semi new!
>>2847607
Yeah, best in our history. I'm sure spring will go fine!
>>2848374
Awesome! You've got some really cool stuff, but of course your familiar Yuis are naturally what stand out the most to me! But yeah I think it's nice for you also to have all your stuff organised in one place. Hope to see more stuff from you in the near future too of course! I may as well mention I've always wanted to see a lab/sciency Yui. Because she's hella smart but such a thing simply doesn't exist.
>>2848375
Ahh, nice find! I've been slacking an awful lot at searching pixiv lately. But you inspired me to go back and go through and save all those Yuis I've missed. It always makes me so happy! Thanks!
>>2848728
Awesome! I hope I'll be better prepared so that I can follow the games and cheer live then!

You are right, Yui is making this world a better place.
My point was that Azunyan is too cute and Yui can't stand all this cuteness hugging her from behind.
Its like cake, even though it is so tasty you just cant fit anymnore in your stomach.
And speaking of cake Yui-chan is the biggest and sweetest one in the universe <3
>>2869457

Let's play along some more to draw more attention on Yui's cuteness.
But shhh~ this is a secret
>>2869653
What's that white cloth thing under her left shoulder strap?
>>2869981
It's a towel, probably.
>>2869958
Every reason to draw more attention to Yui'a perfection is automatically great! An inspiration with her dedication to Giita and for her impeccable sweetness! Always friendly and welcoming!
>>2869981
I wasn't sure either. Towel is the best guess I could come up with too.
