Art Volume Covers and Official Art Thread

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

As much as Lucy and Zeref disappearing sounds utterly amazing and pleasing, I don't think it'll happen. Lucy's part of ft manga's main cast that Mashima loves to use. Her disappearing would either mean that a following arc would continue in relation to the magic games arc. Maybe another world would open. While Zeref and Lucy might disappear, I think Natsu, Gray, Erza, Happy, Wendy; heck, maybe the two teams of Ft may be dragged into that world.

While getting to know about Layla's just so interesting, I don't think that much will be revealed. It feels too soon to happen.

I'm sure he won't reveal everything in one ar but i think we can at least hope for a stepping stone to open the path to some good info on at least Zeref Layla and lumen histiore which could later lead to the dragons and mavis

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

I feel that we're in the wrong thread. I hope we won't be scolded.

Anyyyway, doesn't this sound like Mashima's considering on killing Jellal. It's kinda impossible since so far... he rarely killed any characters in the manga. He's practically doing the same thing in Rave.

As for Lucy, that may not happen as we see it since he had already changed RT's part. But I feel Raven tail may yet appear in the future, sometime in this arc. About Lucy's 12 keys, it's still in the middle of the story and seems far from the peak of it so do you think Lucy might start gathering unknown keys that's tooo rare that might even be forbidden?

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

Remember this?

I found a translation on tumblr lets thank Maddieandyou's post who copied it from facebook so it might just be a rumor but its interesting enough

Spoiler

Rough Translation ( i do not take credit for it)
Lucy will kneel down in front of Zeref.
The picture says, “Follow the king’s order, Lucy”
“A song to yearn, I will never meet Natsu again”
Charle will probably do negative things to Wendy.
The mysterious magic power will show up very soon.
Ultear and Meredy will both participate in the tournament at its end.
A farewell to Jellal.
There is a spy in Raven Tail who is following Captain Arcadios’s orders.
Gajeel, Mira and Juvia will be on one team (perhaps in the Tag battle?) vs Raven (this has obviously changed)

Upcoming Matches:

Wendy VS. Chelia
Natsu VS. Sting
Gray VS. Rufus
Laxus VS. Orga

Other information from the picture:
Mashima said sorry to those guys who like ——— (perhaps Jellal?)
Mashima also said the story will magnificently develop in this arc.
Ofcourse Mashima could change his plans like he did with jura vs laxus

That originates with this post on Naruto Fan:

http://www.narutoforums.com/showthread.php?t=824399

It's from volume 32, preliminary arc notes that Mashima put at the start of the volume instead of some sketch art. And just from looking at it myself, these two:

Ultear and Meredy will both participate in the tournament at its end.
There is a spy in Raven Tail who is following Captain Arcadios’s orders.

Are wrong. Raven Tail only gets mentioned twice on the plot sketch side of things, neither in connection with Arcadios or spies. Nor is there any specific mention of Ultear and Meredy.

^^OMG, that was hilarious! The comic with Macao and Wakaba going to buy the issue that had Jenny posing nude as per the previous wager but then getting a whole nother surprise was funny as hell. Wait till they try to explain their sexuality to their families now XD

And lol at Fried

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

First time seeing those volume 32 spoilers Mashima wrote. Those fights seem pretty likely and I hope the

Spoiler

Natsu vs Sting fight

spans out to multiple chapters. It better be an epic battle.

Pretty much anyone important in Rave who wasn't part of the main cast died. Including Sieg. If he's doing the same thing as in Rave that pretty much means Jellal's already got a noose around his neck.

Erza's hips don't lie, they kick ass.

That cover looks so awesome, needs a HQ asap

I really love Erza in that outfit and Laxus and Alexei too.

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

Ugh, Wendy's on the cover! :P

Erza looks awesome as hell. Laxus and Alexei too. Not my favourite for this arc, but still pretty damn awesome.

Found this recent image of Mavis drawn by Mashima during his visit to Barcellona.

In my opinion it's well done.
