Evenin', /hr/. I require your help tonight in finding an Artbook. Since /hr/ was once my main sauce for Artbooks, I fall back on yee when I need help.

The one I seek is the Xenogears artbook/s "Xeno Emission". All three which are in this here pic. Much searching netted these 28 scans from a moonspeak-laden site.

...and this very related preview book, containing ~90 pretty high-res images.

But I still seek the originals. Help ploz? And FFS, don't send me to /r/ or Google, one is useless and the other I searched the hell out of. And I just provided 28 scans from the very object I seek and 90 from one related to it, all HR. That has to count for something.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I never used ed2000, so I fear I must leave you the task of uploading it, if at all possible. Truly sorry for that. And thanks a bundle once more, I couldn't find this anywhere.

Also waiting for this. Looks good. Thanks for taking the time to get this up for us rookies. (That is if you don't leave us hanging)
Still, thanks.

Guess that's the second one. Though at 10MB I don't know about the quality. I'm not at my own PC now so I can't download it for y'all, sorry.

And another for the first. 92 megs.

Here's a complementary bump, as I also would be interested in getting this (Rapidshit, Mediafire, sendspace, SOMETHING is fine too )

I actually downloaded some of these books back in the day. E1's ok: the 92MB one contains some wallpapers as well. E2...I downloaded a 20MB one, and it contained two 10MB PNG's only. Whatever's floating around out there, might be fake.

I'm still amazed a how far the crappy set of E1 scans I did a couple years ago have gotten. For the record those E1 preview scans are the rest of E1 effectively (E1 is comprised of the preview book and the illustrations in the first link). I've got all three books and I'm planing on trying to scan E3 this weekend. E2 hasn't got anything new or interesting in it (save for the covers and one nice spread illustration which I've already seen scans of floating arount). I'm not positive I'll be able to get all of E3 scanned just because I'd rather not ruin my book again (my copy of E1 is falling apart because I scanned it, and E3 cost me a considerable ammount).

If you're looking to acquire actual copies of the books I believe copies of E2 and E3 are up on ebay right now, and Yahoo Japan auctions is always a good place to look (although since you'll probably have to bid through a proxy service, it can get expensive).

well I downloaded it and it is shit resolution. half is 550x800, other half is 1100x800.

The scanner of those very pages floating around on /hr/? Holy crud, talk about freaking serendipity. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to do that.

I'd quite understand not wanting to ruin the binding of your E3 book, seeing how hard it is to find. But if you do end up attempting a binding-friendly scan, do please post it on /hr/. If possible on a file-sharing site (rapidshit, mediafire, sendspace...).

Also, if I may be so bold as to burden you with the task, can you please re-upload your scans of E1? Can't get any more genuine than from the source scanner himself.

Aw. Well, thanks for going out of your ways to test them out.

no, that's just what anonymous claims. if anonymous is indeed the scanner, he did a pretty shitty job at scanning.
>> Anonymous
>>228365

I am indeed the scanner of the pages in question, and I explicitly mentioned that they were pretty shit quality. (To clarify, I'm only responsible for scanning the color illustrations from E1 since someone else had already scanned the Preview book).

>>228349
Unfortunately the copies of the scans in the links above are the same quality as the ones I have right now. It was several years ago when I made them and I'm using a different machine now (harddrive on the one I made the scans on crapped out a while ago, I'm not sure if I have a back up of the full resolution scans at home somewhere or not). Though since the book's already falling appart I might rescan it while I'm doing E3 anyway. Expect shiny new scans this weekend (not sure if I can get both books completely done this weekend, but I'll post whatever I get done).

I'll give anon the benefit of doubt. There WAS a few artbook scanners on /hr/ months and months ago.

And a shitty scan beats the hell out of no scan any day. It's either possible to clean the scans up or at the worst the scans can always be used for vectoring. Or at the very least for someone to judge whether or not they like the book well enough to buy it and perhaps, eventually, scan it themselves.

Whatever you do is fine and dandy. I shall await them with much giddiness.

Thanks for doing this, I'm an artbook fanatic who tragically can't acquire any. And I'm quite sure there are a lot out there who're in the same position.

Any and all scans are better than NO scans. I don't see how people can't get this. Shitty quallity or not, I most definitely want.

Indeed, crappy scans convinced me to buy two copies of that Gurren Lagann manga with all the color artwork in it to scan.

Win find so early in the morning? Do want.

Any chance someone can upload it on megaupload or rapidshare for the ed2k challenged anon?

Still desire, pitty 4chan was down over the weekend. Was hoping thse would get posted in that time.

TC here, thank gawd the thread is still here.

Here's to hoping Philanthropist/Artbook Scanner-Anon is still around and did the scans.

I didn't get very much done this weekend (homework...) but I did manage a few things scanned.

Here's the limited edition box, it didn't really want to cooperate with the scanner bed (it was like couple millimeters too long to lay flat in the stupid thing), I did a fast job at cleaning up the image but it still needs some work.
>> Anonymous Scanner
Ahah.. Well perhaps 600dpi was a bit much, anyhow, here are the front and back covers to all three Emission books: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J8FFH2C3

I'll probably make an attempt to reduce the filesizes without losing too much quality later. And I'll scan some more stuff after I get back from class today.

Now THAT's /hr/! Thank you so freaking much.

Yeah, the pic crashed Firefox, but the hard-on I got from the resolution was worth it. Whether you want to optimize them at the same res or not is up to you, honestly. Both options are good. One is more easily uploaded, downloaded and transferred and one is of a high enough quality to make anyone salivate. Win-Win scenario either way.

And take your time. Patience is a virtue of Anon. Much better have a more complete scan done at your leisure than a kludge job out of hurriedness. You have all the time in the world.
