Greetings from pixiv.
Thank you for using our service.
The illustration, manga, and novel posting event "Unfinished Gems 2" opens on Monday, May 20th, 2024!
In your drawer, at the bottom of a cardboard box, or stuck in an old folder on your PC.
You kept thinking you'd keep on drawing or writing, but you just couldn't finish the story.
Why not give those sleeping unfinished works the chance to see the light of day?
—---------------------------------
For this event, we're looking for your unfinished illustrations, manga, and novels.
Original work, fan art, and fan fiction are all okay.
10 winners (5 illustrations or manga, 5 novels) will be selected by lottery to win a catalog gift with a choice of local ramen.
