Looking for a brief overview of the artists in AkaTako's shop?

Welcome to the AkaTako.net reference library. It was created as a place to help you find information about the artists on AkaTako.net (like biographies, bibliographies, profiles, CVs, etc.) and to also find particular artworks. The reference library can help you identify who created an artwork, where and when it was published, and to also chat about artwork through comments on individual pieces.

GETTING STARTED
Click an artist's name on the left (or below) to expand the menu and see what information is available. You can browse their artwork in their "Artwork Library" if available.

ARTWORK LIBRARY
If you are looking for information on a particular artwork but aren't sure of the artist you can search the artwork library using combinations of various tags. Artists who currently have an artwork library on AkaTako:

The list of artists will likely expand in the future.

ARTWORK SEARCH EXAMPLE

  1. Go to the Artwork Search page: http://www.akatako.net/lib/works/search
  2. Click "Filter by Tags" to expand the entire list of tags. It's very big to start off with but it updates automatically. As soon as one tag is selected, the list will be narrowed down.
  3. Start with the most obvious feature you can remember - like hair color, a big moon in the background, or a skull. Check the box for that feature. The list of tags should be a bit shorter now.
  4. Next, think of the second most obvious feature and check that box to reduce the results listed.
  5. At any time, you can scroll down a little to see the thumbnails of all artworks that match your selections.
  6. Hover your mouse over the image to see the artist and the title of the artwork. Click the image to go straight to that artwork's page.
