News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

  • This is one of the few times an artist got it right.

    Read the name again:

    "Blue-eyes white dragon"

    Blue eyes: check

    WHITE dragon: check

    Usually colorists color the dragon a metallic blue which is not right, but hell, the manga was in black and white.

    Although I agree with you, I also did a "blue" version, just to satisfy people who prefer that color scheme over the correct white.

    They color it based on the card.
    I don't know why the card is like that.

    Actually, the anime came before the card game and they were guilty of making the dragon a metallic blue. I really don't know why, but then everything copied the anime after that.

    Maybe it might have been something to do with animating them?

    I doubt it as there are various stark white or gray characters in many different anime. I really think it was people on the team reading the name wrong.

    I was going to say that it was the anime that made it metallic blue-white, and I think it looks cool

    It's neat, but incorrect to the name. Much like Red-eyes black dragon being a dark red.

    Blue-Eyes was always intended to be a metallic silver shade, which as a result of colouring style and stylisation, may appear blue. This is similar for example to the practice of using a dark blue to represent black hair, which is common not only in anime and manga but in western art and animation as well.

    Going with he coloration, a more correct coloration for it to look "metallic" would be to make it gray in lighting where it isn't supposed to be shiny or otherwise needs shading applied to it.

    Unless we have the water/ozone effect again, making it appear blue, then who knows at that point.
