Okay so the vast majority of comments and stuff I get are how to run my shimejis on Windows 8. I'm not sure about 8.1 because I didn't end up updating because it was going to break some of my apps, but this is what I've found.

You have to make sure that you have Java downloaded and installed. You can do that with this link, it's free.

java.com/en/download/index.jsp

It says something funky can happen if you're running Chrome, I'm running Chrome and haven't seen anything weird, so I'm not sure about that.

Alright, once you have the Java installed, then open the shimeji folder and click on the JAR file, NOT the EXE file. As I use the same base file for all my shimeji, this should work for all my files. They should fall as normal. 

I tried to convert it to the English Shimeji file and it wouldn't work at all, but my original ones would, just in case you were wondering. Just remember the JAR file is now what you click, not the EXE file and you should be fine. 

Also I know a lot of you have been asking if I'll be releasing anymore, and if I'll take requests. Frankly I'm super busy right now and don't really have the time for shimeji, just to do it for fun. I've been thinking about starting a patreon profile and for those that support me, doing special shimeji and other things on it. I can justify putting the time in that way, and that will give my patrons a say in what shimeji I make, and a vote about what I do next. It wouldn't just be shimejis either, I'd do all sorts of things just for that. I haven't decided if I'm going to do it or not yet, we'll see what happens.

Anyway I hope this helps all of you!

They, I broke down and got one! Any of my friends on here, if you start to follow me there, I'll totally follow you back! 


I only have 13 followers, which is kinda sad. I've been updating more over there then here since it's so much easier. Hope to see you over there!

So, I've now discovered my art style was never suited for Photoshop really, which was why I could never find myself satisfied with the product. I've recently started learning Illustrator, and the change is huge, at least to me. So, I've switched to using Illustrator for my Shimeji. So, any shimeji I started before my hiatus are pretty much shelved, and I probably won't finish them, with the exception of the HetaOni series, I still want to finished them, so half will be in the Photoshop way, and Half in Illustrator, but eventually I might go back and redo them all, no promises though. Style wise, they are still pretty much the same, it's actually the line work that is the most different... they are also the same size, so I don't think it will take away too much from people that want the whole set.

I'm also not taking any requests for them at all. If I feel like making a shimeji, then I will. I got away from making them for me, to make myself happy, and that's what prompted my temporary abandonment. Other then possible suggestions on which HetaOni character people would like to see next, please respect my wishes and don't ask me for anything. I don't want to get frustrated again so soon and quit again.

Alright, there is a list of Shimeji that I have in my gallery so you guys can have a quick list to look at. It's divided into Illustrator Shimeji and Photoshop Shimeji:

Mediafire apparently won't let me put shimejis on there for download anymore, does anyone know somewhere I can host them?
