I am by no means a good artist, but I wanted to test the oekaki function by drawing Yoshika.
>>15493 Here's another wonky-looking Mio.
>>15493 >>15494 Nice Mios, and yeah, drawing with a mouse can be pretty darn hard. Sadly, that is all I have available... >I guess this is the artwork thread For now. The original one will be returning back very, very very! soon (>>/ok/ and >>/int/ already have)
>>15495 >For now. The original one will be returning back very, very very! soon Oh, that's cool. I have since gotten an actual tablet and improved a bit. I will have to try to contribute something once it's back.
Are you winning?
Heh I found E to be quite easily exploitable.

Very enjoyable read. You guys did a great job.
Thanks anon
I can't believe I just discovered that there was a Helma alternative. Anyways, for previous Christmas threads on Helma, cards, and gifts from Secret Santa would usually be posted. Better late than never I suppose. If anyone else has cool SW cards and gifts feel free to post them! Also, maybe I could arrange for Helma's very own Secret Santa card exchange if there's enough interest.
>>15411 >>15412 I saw that one on /a/, got a good laugh out of it. That RUdel is adorable. >>15416 Slightly jealous you got such a nice hand drawn figure with your card. Really cool.
>>15427 Someday Anon, you'll receive a card or drawing worthy of your waifu.
>>15483 I'd have to receive a card in the first place. Maybe next Christmas.
Welcome! Everyone is already aware to some degree of what happened to Helma.us, and I think it would be inappropriate to continue dwelling on that. But I need to write an opening post for this board, so, I'm going to write briefly about my thoughts and plans for this website. After the original board was shut down in mid-2020, the idea of building a new SW-focused imageboard was floated a few times. I myself mulled over it for several months as I had neither the money nor the know-how at the time. Then, in late November, I decided to take that idea off the drawing board. And thus Helma.xyz (not my first choice for a domain name, but oh well) was born. Hopefully other SW fans, from /c/ and elsewhere, will come to see this as a pleasant and comfortable place where we can all share our love for our favorite Witches. I am going to work as hard as I can to that end. A partial archive of Helma.us exists and I plan to put it up on this server in the near future, as a static mirror if nothing else. Restoring all that content as part of this Kusaba instance, on the other hand, is much less likely, as that would be a very labor-intensive task and would require the development of some sort of scraper. I wouldn't completely rule it out as a long-term project, but also don't count on it. Feel free to post any questions, suggestions or meta discussion here.
As promised: https://archive.helma.xyz/sw/ The thread watcher has also been fixed. Next up are backlinks and quick formatting, probably.
After being persuaded via email and through various posts I have decided to keep the site open.I'm sorry about this whole situation, I set about it fully intending to shut the site down because of inactivity and various other things because I thought only around 3 or so people actually used the place.. The posts here, on /c/, and the emails I've received have shown me that many more people use the site than I originally thought.Once again, I'm sorry for getting everyone worried. The site will remain open for now.-Anonymous Admin
I'm so truly happy to hear these change of events. Such a relief. There's no need to be sorry over anything, and never be afraid to ask for support, if such case arises, as seen many would love to help. Thank you.
Well, since RtB will be broadcasted on Fall, shutting this site down would be devastating for non-Japanese World Witchers.. Thanks for keep this open..
>>15055Very happy with this announcement. Love is alive and well! >>15057This site could use more awareness somehow. I only knew of Helma through /c/.
Let's get a drawfag thread going. Make a request and I'll see what I can muster up. Be as specific as you'd like, but keep in mind I'm slow as shit.Other drawfags are welcome to join in anytime.
>>15040Yeah, I should probably get on that. I was thinking if I get this doujinshi done, I'd make a pixiv account and post it there as well as Sadpanda. I've just never been overly fond of social media, imageboards aside.>>15041Definitely going to draw a farewell picture for Helma. I'll try and pop up more in /c/, and of course I'll be in /a/ for the witch threads when the various anime start rolling out. Keep drawing, anon.>>15042I probably won't get it done before the closure, but I'll definitely give it a try. Don't know where I'll post it, though.>>15046No problem anon, good luck with your project.
Just wondering, but can I requested nude filter here..?
>>15050I hope you're not far into my farewell request because it will not be needed anymore seeing as this site will continue on.I finished mine though and I was planning on doing a redraw but, of course, that won't be needed anymore. Here's what my farewell picture would have looked like if anyone was curious. Anyways, I'll work on your request ASAP.
In 10 days Helma will be shut down. It's been a good 9 years, but disinterest on my part, inactivity on the boards and the site no longer having a real purpose have lead to me making this decision.In the next 10 days I suggest you save whatever topics/images that you don't want to lose. I will be backing up the whole site (so nothing will be lost forever) but I doubt it will ever make a return.To everyone that enjoyed using the site over the years, or just found it useful- thank you.-Anonymous Admin
Thanks for all your hard work, Helmadmin. Sucks to see the site go, but Helma will live on in some form, I'm sure. At the very least, the love will always be alive and well.Love you guys!
>>15035I've asked before and I will ask again, are you unwilling to take donations? I would be more than happy to pay for any hosting fees, even by myself.
Good news! Admin has had a change of heart.I'm the anon who helped save the data through email after that mess with the host and I'm glad you changed your mind. <3
Now we've got real idols.
>>15026I wasn't sure if I should use Aila or Aira only because when I looked it up the most recent "official" localization was Aira, and according to a quick google search it looked like an actual Finnish name.
>>14254>(better known as Édith Piaf)Judging on how some character songs are based on existing songs such as some Air Force songs, I hope they do the same thing with Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" for this character. It would surely be interesting. >>15025Thanks for the translation.
>>15027Common Finnish names: Aila, Eila, Eira. Never saw anyone named Aira, and I have read a few phonebooks trying to fall asleep.
The Suomus Diamond Ace Eila's thread.
My contribution for Eila's birthday.
>>14992are there more like this from the other witches?
>>14997It's from Humikane's The World Witches 2018 artbook. You can find it in full on exhentai.I translated Eila's page for her birthday, the rest of them are untranslated to my knowledge.However, most, I assume, are just taken from their respective World Witches articles (e.g., >>10957).
