【KagePro】 Sen's .dsd/V Scans: Part 2

Sen's Scans and Edits

.dsd/V Sidu MV Material Works 2011 - 2018 (WHITE ver.)

Outer Science - Kuroha/Saeru

Yuukei Yesterday - Takane & Haruka (& Chibi Takane & Konoha)

Children Record & daze & days - Mekakushi Dan & Ene & Azami

Summertime Record - Haruka

Rambles

I tried scanning Outer Science, Yuukei Yesterday, Children Record & daze & days, and Summertime Record from Sidu's .dsd/V artbook.

I bought two copies of Sidu’s .dsd/V artbook, both the Black and White cover versions. I was scanning with .dsd/V (White Ver.)

I wanted to post my progress update!

Refer to this post if you wanna read my initial scans and rambles:

Link: (X)

I’m gonna disable reblogs on my WIP progress updates for now. I tried to scan and edit these as best as I could for now! I’ve been scanning the pages slowly in my free time. I posted LQ versions of my scans for now since I haven’t finalized these yet.

The artbook is bigger than my scanner, so I have to scan a page twice to try and get the full page.

I accidentally bent the the Outer Science page on Sidu’s .dsd/V (White Ver.) artbook after scanning the Yuukei Yesterday art cuz the book had to get scanned at a really awkward angle. The Summertime Record Haruka art is on the next page. The bend isn’t too noticeable or on anything significant, at least.

Thankfully, I have scans of the Outer Science page before it happened, though.

Thankfully, I have two copies of Sidu’s artbook, because I figured that just in case one gets damaged while getting scanned, I’d still have the other one. My .dsd/V (Black Ver.) artbook is still safe, but the Outer Science page in my .dsd/V (White Ver.) artbook got a bit bent while scanning. Thankfully the bend is not on anything important.

I try to be as careful with my artbooks as possible, but Ig it can’t be helped too much cuz of the awkward scanning, and me handling the book a lot. I had to prop up the book with boxes so that it’d rest on the scanner properly (depending on the pages being scanned)

I’ll continue to scan with my .dsd/V White Ver. artbook, since it doesn’t make sense to risk my safe copy. I’ll try to be as careful as I can, but I don’t have to worry as much since my other copy is still safe. I can rescan stuff when I’m finished if I need to.

Hopefully people don’t mind the other pages showing in the background? I did that this time instead of putting just 1 page down on the scanner because I felt like it’s easier to be more careful with the page and avoid bending it when it has the rest of the page’s weight underneath it. I can always rotate and crop the scan once everything is finalized.

Close up of my scans… I have some ideas on how to remove the print screen-like grainy texture on the scan, but I’ll need to look into it. My mutual in scanlation said he’s busy, but he can try and look into it sometime whenever he has free time. Hopefully I can get the hang of it sometime ^^

It’s really hard to get the parts where the book binding cuts off (middle of the scan) due to the book binding, since I can’t lay the book completely flat. Because of that, it casts a shadow, the parts closest to the book binding appears a bit blurry on the side closest to the book binding. This is the best I can get, since I’m a hobbyist scanner.

Imo the only way to get the full pages would be to remove the book binding (debind it) and safely retrieve the pages. My mutual in scanlation is experienced with physical scans because he has a method that can retrieve the pages safley by melting the book binding, but I’m not.

Even if I have two copies of Sidu’s artbook, I’d be really hesitant to risk damaging my book like that tbh, especially since I’m not experienced with working with physical scans. I can rip most things from digital scans/e-books, though.

Sidu’s .dsd/V artbook unfortunately isn’t available online, though.

I will try to stitch the scans through editing when everything is finalized, but it’s not gonna be 100% perfect because there’s a shadow over the part nearest to the book binding, and the scanner might not scan the colours the same, so it might not line up perfectly.

Anything related to 9/6, including XX/6, and all related charas/ships (Kuroha, Takane/Ene, Haruka, Konoha), I will scan first 🖤💛💙

Basically, I prioritized 9/6 first because of my bias LMAO.

Though, I will scan the other pages later!

Ones I’m planning to scan next:

Headphone Actor - Takane

Konoha's State of the World - Konoha (& Hibiya & Hiyori)

Additional Memory - Ayano

Losstime Memory - Shintaro

“Escaflowne Bible” scans [page 11]

You may (or may not) remember the scans/translations of the tiny Escaflowne Bible artbook. This is the second to final part to be posted, called Character Profiles (or Character Biographies). Many thanks again to @legendofthesevenstars for the proofread!

This is the last Profiles page. Now, all that remains are the title colored pages and the book is done. Translation of the whole page below the cut!

DORNKIRK

Profile

By self-developed power of super-science, even at 200 years of age, he continues to rule Zaibach as its emperor. His origin is Mystic Moon (Earth), and his Earth name was Isaac. A scientist from Earth’s past, he arrived on this world on the verge of his passing. Moreover, he is the man who killed Allen’s father. Right now, with the aim to complete his fate altering machine and manipulate fate, he set his eyes on Hitomi, who could become the key to it.

Question of Interest

Why does Dornkirk wear his hair in ringlets?

Dornkirk's curly hair seems quite eye-catching. He lived as Isaac during the European Middle Ages. Back then, high-born people curled their hair as a sign of status. It looks like this remained in his mind, and Dornkirk continues to curl his hair. He seems to be an unexpectedly scrupulous person.

Pic Descriptions

Dornkirk as seen in the episode 16 flashback.

Top view of Dornkirk’s throne, with many machines attached.

Dornkirk achieved longevity thanks to the power of science. Looking at it this way, the huge throne comes as no surprise.

As death was drawing near to Isaac on Earth, he suddenly arrived in the Zaibach empire. Since then, he ascended to the very imperial throne.

OTHER CHARACTERS - “GAEAN FOLK”

From the inhabitants of Gaea, we collected those that were in the frontlines of action, those who died over the course of the series, those who gained sympathies, etc.

Allen and Marlene’s son, Chid

Leon, searching for the secrets of Atlantis.

Plaktu, who ended up murdered by Zongi

Worried about Millerna, the second sister, Eries.

The commander of the energist mine, who set his snake to wrap around Hitomi

Considerably absent as of recent, Mole Man.

Zongi, killed by Dilandau.

Reappearing in episode 17, one of the Three Swordsmen of Gaea, Balgus.

Intensified Luck Soldiers, the twin sisters Naria and Eriya

One of Zaibach’s four generals, the leader of Black Steel army, Zodia Quu

Duke Freid, insisting: “Chid is my son!”

Distrustful of Van and company, Freid’s governor, Voris

One of the Zaibach’s four generals, the leader of the Bronze army, Helio Eides

One of the Zaibach’s four generals, the leader of the Silver army, Getin Gus

One of the Zaibach’s four generals, the leader of the Copper army, Adelphos Gein

<<ESCAFLOWNE TIDBITS>> (on bottom of the page)  

Dornkirk and his lovely curls. It is surprising to know he was an Earth scientist. By the way, his hair isn’t curled as he meets Leon, it really looks like it became his hairstyle after he became the emperor. Up until his very death on Earth, Isaac studied things like destiny and future prediction. The strength of this inquisitive mind was what opened the door to Gaea for him. As he was lying on his deathbed, when he thought it was his end, he opened his eyes one last time and before he knew it, he found himself on Gaea.

Sailor Moon Raisonne

I'm finally done with this project!! Please enjoy the scans I made of the Raisonne artbook. As a reminder, I did not scan most of the old artwork that was already published in the original artbooks; Miss Dream and @setteidreams have you covered on those. I did meticulously scan all the unpublished/new artwork, as well as some updated pieces of older artwork!

There's been minimal editing on my part so you can go crazy with whatever edits you want. The entire gallery is about 2.15 gigabytes.

Credit is very much appreciated (but not required) when using these scans. Unless you're uploading them in bulk to another website, then credit is required (I've had more than a few people in the past upload entire books without crediting me, which kinda sucks).

Also, please try to keep this on the down low, as I've been copyright struck before when my stuff was reposted and blew up on Twitter, lol. Hopefully this one evades detection!

[wall-maria-around-ba-sing-se]

Hey guys remember when the only place to find the Xenoblade 3 artbook was a sketchy hentai website that had the images all separated on individual webpages and doesn't let you download entire thing at once unless you spend their specific made up currency/points that you can only earn by posting hentai ?

well I grabbed all 455 pages one at a time programmatically and then repackaged them into a single PDF and then manually organized it with bookmarks

should I. put this anywhere?

【KagePro】 Sen's .dsd/V Scans: Part 1

Sen's Scans and Edits

.dsd/V Sidu MV Material Works 2011 - 2018 (WHITE ver.) - Outer Science: Kuroha/Saeru

.dsd/V Sidu MV Material Works 2011 - 2018 (WHITE ver.) - Yuukei Yesterday: Takane & Haruka

For future reference:

Please credit me if you use my scans! Scanning and editing are very time consuming for me. Don't repost my merch photos or scans.

I will generally allow my photos or scans to be used for personal use (PFPs, edits, etc.) and fandom wikis.

You don't have to ask me for permission if you're using them for personal use (PFPs), but credit me if you're using them for edits. Ask me for permission first if you want to repost it on another site.

...

Ok I just got home so I can try scanning Sidu's .dsd/V artbook for the Kuroha illust but I can't guarantee how the scan's gonna turn out.

I'm probably gonna have to edit the scan and such after I scan it. Gonna do a few test scans of the cover first to see the colours and such first

I'm just gonna disable reblogs on this post cuz this is more of a WIP progress update from me. My scans aren't ready to be posted yet on main, cuz I still have to re-scan and edit them.

I'll repost this on main eventually (once I have the more finalized and edited versions of the scans)

I'll post pics I took of Sidu's .dsd/V artbook on my main blog @/stepswordsen eventually! I just haven't written the post yet.

I tried making the Kuroha scan look more passable with my own edits of my scans

...

I tried scanning a bit of Sidu's .dsd/V artbook and a couple things from it. Ok so I scanned the cover of Sidu's .dsd/V (White Version) artbook, the back cover, and attempted to scan the Outer Science and Yuukei Yesterday art.

I'll have to edit Kuroha's scan, and I still need to redo the scans on the HaruTaka art. I'm definitely gonna have to edit these later.

...

.dsd/V: Kuroha/Saeru Outer Science Can Badge Merch (Upscaled Version)

Merch that uses this art brightens the colours to make it more clear.

This is my best attempt at upscaling a low quality merch preview image. Though the details get lost in it.

Even though I have the physical book in person, you can hardly make out any of the details of Sidu's Kuroha/Saeru Outer Science illust in her .dsd/V artbook cuz the colours are so dark. It makes it SO hard to scan properly.

It's an artistic choice from Sidu, but it makes both seeing the art and scanning it so hard…

Was talking to mutuals about this and they were like "That must be a nightmare for any scanner 💀💀💀"

...

I really wish we had her artbooks available digitally to be able to archive the arts properly, but they're only available physically, so I'll have to make do.

I think having some kind of scan will at least be better than none, so I'll try my best to scan the arts and archive them

The book is bigger than my scanner glass area, so I have to scan a single page multiple times to be able to get the scan at different parts of the page.

It's really hard to scan parts that are closer to the book binding cuz it casts a shadow. Due to the book binding, the book can't be laid completely flat.

Scanning has been VERY time consuming for me because I have to scan a single page multiple times and often redo the scan to get rid of dust, re-scan to get the parts where the pages crop off, etc.

I'll be scanning things slowly at my own pace whenever I have free time.

I think I have some ideas on how to remove the print texture, especially on the Kuroha one, so I'll probably ask a mutual for scanlation help later.

Due to me constantly handling the book, my finger prints still got on the book's pages, unfortunately.

I have to scan the book at a REALLY awkward angle.

On pages where the rest of the pages (book's weight) holds it up, it's fine, but otherwise I have to get my yoga mats to prop up the book while it's being scanned (cuz it's bigger than the scanner area), it's just ADKLSDKLKLDSKL

I've been handling the book sm and trying to be as careful as possible.

I noticed I accidentally bent the bottom right corner of the page with Kuroha's illust, thankfully the crease isn't on anything important

I'm the type that gets really concerned over stuff like that, cuz I try to be very careful with my artbooks and art prints, but thankfully it's very minimal.

I bought two copies of Sidu's artbook for this reason. I figured that just in case one gets damaged while scanning, then I'll still have the other one.

The HaruTaka art is going MUCH better in terms of scanning, just as expected.

As for Saeru, he's making me go through the horrors /lh

I've never had this much trouble with scanning something before this illust...

[zappyjoan]

Finally…. After hours of work…. I scanned the NSR artbook! Wahoo!!

See drive here

The setup I had to deal with… don’t expect picture-perfect scans… sorry smh
