Art DGM Volume Covers Thread

[Googlez_kun]

Quite a cool cover.Hoshino's covers were rather lame lately,including this one,but i still like it,even though it could be better knowing Hoshino's incredible art.She did mention that she only wants to draw covers she likes from volume 11(?) onward,though.

i like the Lenalee cover she looks good in it

 

[Lomahongva]

Wow, I love it!!! Thanks for posting it here, Heiji-sama. Yeah, my idea of having Lenalee in the cover was true (although I'd also though she would be with Allen...). Yes, it was time for Lenalee to have an own cover... She looks very pretty and I like a lot the way she waves her hair. But her hips...Komui won't like it XDD.
Of course there'll be purple in it. It's Hoshino's beloved colour!!! And it suits weell Lenalee's hair, apart of black.

@ Teeba: Yes, it's title is "Fate", the title of chapter 203: "Fate-Conciousness".

Hey, i was thinking... the "dgm logo" now is different since the 21 volume, and now, allen let the order and will keep walking by himself. So, its meaning that dgm is on the middle of the story? O_O (i don't know if i can post it here)

 

[Asclepius]

After Naruto discussion about that and seeing the manga past 500 chapter and certainly going to last 2 more years (100 more chapters) at least, i don't dare to wonder such thing about any manga for now.
^_^

 

[Niko_kun]

makes sense. Like Bleach, 10 more years T__T (but if dgm continue for 10 more years, i don't care xD)

 

[Googlez_kun]

I wouldn't want D.Gray-Man to continue for such a long time.I love this manga,but that's why i don't want to see it ruined (like Bleach).DGM has a certain plot which was followed from the very beginning,so i don't want Hoshino to make up some weird new stories that don't fit in at all.

I still wonder what this sidelogo means,though.

 

[Jaymie]

DGM is definitely going to last a while. It's hard to believe that it only has 22 volumes. Bleach nearly has 50, Naruto is reaching 60, and One Piece is reaching 70.

Hopefully Hoshino can make slightly larger chapters to... pick up the pace a little. AnE averages 40, so even ten more pages a month would bring things a long way.

 

[earthforge]

Think DGM is more likely to reach 45 volumes. We seem to be about halfway through the series, with many but not all of the main players introduced, and the plot finding it's direction. I agree with Jaymie, Hoshino could greatly improve her mileage sotospeak. That goes against the effect Hoshino might desire, which is to maximize the emotional impact of this arc.

Lovely cover. I'm glad Lenalee is getting attention, she's likely to not have much after the most recent chapter.

^ Yes, we're probably going to see a lot less of Lenalee now. I think you're spot on with that one. I'm really afraid that we're going to have Allen disappear for a long time, as well as Link and Lvellie. We've just had a major turn of events for all three of these characters, and I want answers immediately! *so impatient* DDDDDD8

Although I have this feeling things might go back to Lavi and Bookman. Now that Allen's left, it's safe to reveal some more secrets over The Fourteenth. But wouldn't it be heaven if we got to see both Allen,Link,Lvellie AND Lavi,Bookman? *wishful thinking for sure*

I think you guys are right about D.Gray-Man being around halfway through. And I don't see Hoshino dragging out the plot after she's concluded whatever's cooking in her head right now. I wonder if she has everything unfurled in her mind already, or if she's improving anything along the way?? That's what I would like to know! The fact that I can't tell makes her a good mangaka I believe.

I don't read Bleach, Naruto, or One Piece so I don't know anything about them being ruined at all. However, I did read Katekyo Hitman Reborn! for a bit. And let me tell you, THAT story line has been dragged through a field full of nails and I really dislike it now. It would be a nightmare if that happened to DGM.

Vol.22's Color version:

It's good to me when it's less purple than I imagined

 

[Asclepius]

A little bigger version:

I think the socks (is there another name for that?) should be dark, almost everything looks very pretty apart from the pink part on the hair.
Since i dislike pink, i didn't like the pink shoes and innocence.

 

[Googlez_kun]

I don't like the hair.The only thing that kinda 'saves' the hair is the pink touch.Other than that,the cover is rather awesome.

 

[NonExisted]

Lenalee's hair just makes me think of Stocking's.
@Asclepius: it's called 'stocking' ^^

 

[Googlez_kun]

Lenalee's hair just makes me think of Stocking's hair.
@Asclepius: it's called 'stocking' ^^

Now that you mention it,she looks like Stocking!

Does anybody know how many chapters this volume covers?

 

[Teeba]

O_O The colors look realistic! When was the last time the Black Order's uniform's piping was depicted as red? @_@

And yeah, it looks like Hoshino was watching Panty and Stocking last summer. xD

The background is darker than I imagined, but the whole this is beautifully rendered (colored).

 

[ying_su]

I just love the cover!
xD

 

[Naomi]

Ahhhh. *_* Beautiful! Hoshino's done it again. She just doesn't disappoint me ever. I'm beginning to think she has me completely brainwashed. XD This is very girly, but that's different than usual and I really love that about it. I hope that boys won't be embarrassed to be seen reading it just because it's pretty feminine. Maybe that's why she also made it pretty sexy. ;D

 

[Jaymie]

Much better than I anticipated. I love the lack of purple. I think the Exorcists' uniform looks better when it's colored using red or pink, and not purple like what Hoshino used in 2009/2010.

 

[Lomahongva]

Does anybody know how many chapters this volume covers?

It has 6 chapters, form ch. 200 to ch. 205.

Wow, finally in color!!! It's awesome and yes, it is more realistic in its colors, at least, according to what we'd seen about the official version of Black Order's uniforms. The expression on Lenalee's face is so sad... I love it!

@Asclepius: well, I think they're not pink, just a color between pink and light (?) purple. In spanish I'll say they're fucsia... For the Innocence, it seems that Hoshino has employed a deep red pencil more than a red one. Same for the uniform's adorments, except the buttons. And I like then more than purple, wich seems to me too much darker. In the other hand, fucsia and deep red are more feminine (but this is only my opinion
