Thank you all so much for all your incredible support. We wouldn't be here without you. And of course, last but not least...

The circles have fallen and are now under the control of the evil circles…

Wow, we feel we could have done even better this year, but unfortunately we didn't have the time or energy. However, we're happy we were able to bring our ideas to life, and we're satisfied! We won't be participating next year; we've said we need to focus on our comics XP

Thank you to these creators for giving us Circles >>>

Back cover: REVEALED!

Finally, the reveal of our back cover in full! With 18 different artists, this collaborative cover (assembled by @bgsartcavern) shows how Just Shapes & Beats brought all different people together. Did you recognize anyone?

OUR WONDERFUL BACK COVER ARTISTS: @adventum-vaqui - @altromarnice - @alvilitytoart - @bgsartcavern - @beauh - @ckisle - @deltaqi - @dividedsingularity - @l00tkirby - @lukolucky - @lumhere - @pandoranoss - @poison-nekomimi - @real-ink-demon - @scindomundi - @slimyteeths - @soramarriaz - @spinnincircus

This week is Pentagon Week! We don't seem to have a complete picture of who these bad guys are, all we can say is that they're one of our SwapAU guys who kidnapped a Pentagon and played Russian roulette.

Funny :]

Thank you to these creators for giving us Pentagon >>>

To be honest, I really didn't expect the quantity to be just right for us to do this, while someone was destined to get hit :]

Thank you to these creators for giving us Triangle >>>

Onion It's definitely an onion. If you can't tell it's an onion, then maybe we're not good at drawing food LMAO

Thank you to these creators for giving us Square >>>

Now give us Circle ;)

Give us Pentagon yeeee

This isn't an April Fool's joke (I'm clarifying this because I wasn't planning on doing anything this year, but the timing just happened…).

It's April, next month is May, and May is Shapes of May! But because we're particularly lazy this year (for various reasons), and we don't want to waste our ideas, we're collecting the shapes early to give us more time to create them.

If the finished product is successful, we'll announce it during Shapes of May.

現在のweek Penagonとweek Circleのイラストについてです。こちらについてですが、まだ完成の見込みが立ってません…。私個人の事情が立て込んでいるのと、それによりイラストを作成する時間が取れなくなっていることが原因です。その他、７月にはまた別のイベントがあることが重なってしまっていることも大きいです。８月まで待たせてしまう可能性がありますが、気長にお待ちいただけると幸いです…！

リブログ元について。Shapes of MayのWeek PentagonおよびWeek Circleのイラストを、心待ちにしてくださっている皆様にお知らせです。

現在進行中のイベントShapetoberとの同時並行が難しいと判断したこととモチベーションの低迷に加え、心身の不調が重なり、完成が難しくなってしまいました…。そのため、Shapes of May該当Weekのイラスト投稿を諦めさせてください…！待ってくださっていた皆様にお詫びいたします。本当に申し訳ありません…！

Regarding the reblog source. To all who have been eagerly awaiting the illustrations for Shapes of May's Week Pentagon and Week Circle, we have an announcement.
