Everyone here should know the http://castlevania.armster.org website, but do you know were else you can see Kojima's art? She is really productive and has done tons of illustrations for things, but apart from Castlevania they never come overseas. The images Hero have posted here are new to me for example, I'm curious about where they are from.

Have you tried putting her name into Google? Should come up with a few galleries, but nothing too rare...

Vampire Killer is actually my home page when I open up Fire Fox! (also in my signature for both here and the Chapel.) The image I'm using for my signature is a favourite. One of very few Kojima illustrations to grace the image of an english book.

And damn, after accidentally skipping Watsa's post, I thought for a moment that Warfreak had joined us here in Rainbow Valley. But no :'(

Yeah, it's so hard to find Kojima art online, and I suppose it's much harder in real life. >.<
I also saw the site Creeping Shadow posted through Google search. I'm going to buy her stuff if I get to go to Japan someday. At one point in my life, I suppose >.<
I think at least one of Hero's images can also be found in Vampire Killer..

Warfreak, we should go together. Just the other day I was thinking of all the stuff I'd buy if I went to Japan: Everything related to Castlevania in sight. Also, I'd buy loads of Kojima stuff too. Really, one day when we're older and loaded with money(yeah right ) we should meet up in Tokyo. Marto, you should come along too. I don't think Kojima has any real artbook/collections of her work, other than the CV ones and any Manga/magazines shes done.

Yeah, although it's rather farfetched, I would love to be able to meet you guys in real life someday.. somewhere.. sometime... *looks far off into the distance* .. lol. There's also the novels she did work for, though we would be buying them just for the art unless we learn to read Japanese before then.

Warfreak, I want to meet you too. *looses consciousness staring off into that same distance* Oh, uh, and the rest of you too. Mercurius, Marto, Sorrow and the whole bunch of ya! Really, it would be great to meet up in Japan someday, Or even at Bran Castle in Transylvania. Anywhere we can get CV and Kojima stuff.

Bran Castle is about four hours away from my home city. As for Japan, I'm going there for spring of 2010 most likely.

Two years, huh? Let's all go to Japan in 2010! ..... Or not. Who knows, maybe we're all gonna be rich by that time. One can dream, right? Marto, bring back lots of CV and Kojima stuff! I'm sure you will, anyway.

Well it would be way too expensive for him to mail them to me.. I will be satisfied with seeing pictures of all the stuff.. >.< ....If only my relatives in Japan (they're not Japanese, but they live there now) would send me stuff... But nooo...

Well you're in the Philippines, right? Would it cost less if he mailed them to you from Japan? I wouldn't care about the cost, apparently he's somewhere near Transylvania, so it would have to go overseas for me but it is sooooo worth it. Do they have Gamestop in Japan?

I'm sure they have loads of other gaming stores, if not GameStop. o_O And.. That's not until two years from now.. Let's dream about that then.
