Ever wanted an account on Pixiv but don't know enough Japanese? Check out these links.

If you’re like me, you love anime and manga-style artwork.  Pixiv is the DeviantArt.com of Japan and you can’t really see much without an account.  Tonight I found a post on DA with screencaps and translations of the sign-up screens on Pixiv.  Find it here:

That got me the account, but after that, I was having trouble filling in everything on my profile.  Then I was able to find this:

http://danbooru.donmai.us/forum/show/4517

The info on that page covered the rest of my bases.

Now the full URL to my profile on Pixiv is:

http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=2493102

But you can also just hit up: http://j.thepete.com/pixiv

I haven’t posted anything to Pixiv yet, but I will… once I get my confidence up. Hey, most of the time all I draw is this.

UPDATED: I also found this page that has a lot of cool tutorials on using Pixiv:
