Original characters delivered to you! "Wannyan FANBOX"
The FANBOX I tried out this time is Wannyanpu's FANBOX. Wannyanpu is an illustrator that specializes in a genre called Self Interpretation PV. It's a type of fan art that puts together music and manga. The artist create their own story using characters from another work, turns it into a movie and gives it their own interpretation. But Wannyanpu is not only working with videos. Her manga Satsubatsu Share Life is currently being serialized on pixiv Comic!
Wannyan FANBOX first article features includes several illustrations from the PV she's currently working on. Video making is not a topic that comes out everyday, and this makes it even more interesting!

Although it's always possible to take a look at the finished movie, isn't it quite unusual to have the chance to know exactly what the creator was thinking while creating their contents, or how they came up with the story? Plus, if you want to learn more about something, you can take advantage of the very convenient Q&A corner to ask whatever you like! Maybe you're gonna learn something new...?
The contents will change from week to week, but what's certain is there is going to be a giveaway every 4th week of the month! In other words, you have a chance to win an original item once a month, thanks to the fan-limited monthly giveaway!
Wannyanpu had a page on BOOTH where she was selling a small collection of character sheets from her previous PVs, but through FANBOX she is planning to deliver 100% original goodies. Of course, she will also post updates about her recent movie and manga making activities and will take illustrations requests. It's a great chance for both Wannyanpu's fans and for those who are passionate about movie making!
It doesn't stop here! Introducing creators offering limited giveaways through their pixivFANBOX!
