Amano Utage: the Artists Asylum

        Created on 4/26/1996

        Ama no Utage means festival of heavens. This is a circle of artists I started.
        Artists who are confident of his/her talent, but are unable to make homepages for whatever reasons, or rather have your works published on here, I am taking submissions. If you are interested, mail me Hiro^2 at susanooh@anime.net.

        I have rtecently moved to Dallas! I lost the access to a scanner, so unfortunately, I will not be able to scan any artwork in the near future. I will try to buy my own, when I have the given financial resources. Those of you who sent me the artworks, thanks! I have looked at all of them, and have come to a conclusion: When I can scan artworks again, I will create a diffrent section in Ama no Utage for the artists that I felt needed more practice, and give tips on what would improve the talent.

        Theme

        This is where I set a theme for artists to draw about. It's voluntary, and anyone is welcomed to send in submissions.
        • Theme 1: Mirror
        Anything to do with Mirror as a theme. As submissions from or out of Utage comes in, it'll be posted on this section.
