An update on the 20090511 Giveaway where the person with the most bodacious desk is going to win 150 USD worth of *anything* they want from J-list.

So far we've got 125 stunning desks and a painful task awaits me from having to chose just one - that was until I had a chat with Peter the CEO of J-list last night.
Peter has kindly agreed to give 5 runnerups 20 USD each to spend on anything they want on J-list.

Will announce the winners in a few days but a few things before then:-
-If your entry is not tagged 20090511giveaway then you will not be considered for this giveaway as I cant go hunting for your submissions.
-I will be uploading your entry to my Flickr pool - if you do not want me to then please remove your entry from the giveaway submissions.
-If possible, watermark your photo with a url that you want to be credited for (and dannychoo.com Nick Name. Don't stick the watermark in the middle of the photo though - somewhere at the top of bottom. Does not matter if you cant do this but just like last time, your desk photos are likely to go around the Japanese internets.

One more thing - if there is a desk that you strongly feel should win then post the link to the entry in the comments.

Latest photo of my desk which has already changed since I took the photo. A 360 tour of the office taken on the new spanking Nikon D5000 below. Need a wide angle lens. Click through to YouTube and the HD button to view in better quality.

Thanks to the good folks at J-List for making this possible.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Otaku category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

    Good luck to everyone who participated, I'm sure their desks would blow mine out of the water. Btw, whose head did you add to the froggie mikuru nendo puchi in the plant on your desk? I'm about to get one for myself and the plant idea is brilliant.

    Thanks for the heads up, Danny! Just a quick question, do you want us to update the image with the watermarked version, or can we just link to it here? Because I have a HR version on my webspace with the watermark already on it. I'll go ahead and update my post anyway, just in case, but the HR version with the watermark is at http://www.morainaki.net/desk_stitch_wm.jpg ^^

    Wow 125 desks, have fun with that Danny, I do not envy you there ^^;

    Kinda cliche to vote for yourself but I honestly didn't feel impressed by any other desk but my own and two others(tons of messy desks out there ^^). Of course I wasn't impressed because I was comparing them all to yours Danny ^^; Don't think any here top yours(in my opinion)! I also noticed a lot of people didn't follow all the rules either. :(


    So here are the three that impressed me:

    This one should win ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18964/aquazure's+Desk.html

    The all round effect is superb. Although you may consider that they don't need any prizes as they already have a ton of loot, so my second suggestion is ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18710/Evil+King's+desk.html

    Reason is that the presentation is very neat and tidy. This person is very selective about what they buy, and the giveaway prize will receive proper coverage which it deserves. And there's not an overabundance of loot.

        There's is the question of where you're going to put any new stuff. :P
        I think you need a zero gravity room where everything floats around.
        You wouldn't need shelves and you could pack more in.

        However you promote your stuff well on your blog so that's another big plus.

        Request - Aya, please can you post the dimensions of a dollfie's head.
        Height, width, depth, width of neck opening, and any other details.
        How does the hair attach to the head?
        How do the eyes fit in the head?
        I want to model a few heads and then make resin casts.
        If you post the details I'll send you a finished resin head.
        Post extra details and I'll paint the head for you so it'll be complete. :)
        Eyes included *-*

    My suggestions for the runner ups ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18769/chun's+desk.html

    Nice scene setting. Interesting selection of figures & dollfie.

    Second runner up ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/19022/RyūPersona's+Desk.html

    The guy owns a Pleinair. What more is their to say?

    Third runner up ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/19083/cheesecake's+desk.html

    Nice landscape photo, and would like to see what new figures they select.

    Fourth runner up ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18716/anbu.biz's+desk.html

    Interesting figure collection and neat workstation.

    Fifth runner up ..

    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18728/Beccathestranges'+Desk.html

    Shame, I feel sorry for this guy. Some of those paper figures have to become real PVC.

    Note these are just my suggestions / recommendations ;)

      Oh Wow. Someone actually liked mine enough to recommend it. 0.0!
      Thanks, never thought someone would actually do that (even if it is just because of one figure).

    I'd like to win, of course! Mine is unaltered from how I usually use it, except for a bit of tidying up. I even hoovered! So didn't load up with figures from my display cases or other shelves in the house... unlike some of those other entries ;)

    That being said, I was very impressed with a couple of entries:
    Dancing Queen caught my eye for the sheer amount of Gurren Lagann: http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18756/Dancing%20Queen%5C%27s%20Desk.html

    I also want a desk just like Alodia... sadly, I don't have room for such a massive piece of furniture ;_; : http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18811/Alodia%5C%27s%20Desk.html

    I'll also point out Hikaru Kazushime's desk... there's so much going on that I wonder how s/he can concentrate on the computer! If Lighningsaber lives in a otaku shop, then Hikaru lives in the back office of that shop. http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18973/Hikaru+Kazushime%27s+desk.html

    Also will call out geektrooper, since he entered twice..... >.< is that allowed?

    And because I like her/his sense of humor, I nominate veediot: http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18693/Veeediot%27s+Desk%3A+Try+to+ignore+the+beer+n+dirty+plates.html. S/He's Canadian and has beer in the picture. Win, eh?

    Oh, and if you need a higher res version of my photo for the stream, there's one here: http://howdoyoufigure.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/otakudesk.jpg

            I guess that isn't three months. That is the rule, ne?

            Anyway look on the bright side. It got me working on my blog, taking some figure shots and finding out about RSS. :)
            ..and I tidied my desk. It has to snow.

              Incredible motivator, and thankfully the rules weren't brought to my re-attention until I had filled out my blog a bit.

              So here's my blog ..

              http://tomiotsuji.com/blog/

              I have applied for it to have an RSS feed.
              I've tried to add the listing of Danny's news underneath his link but the Feed Reading Blogroll and RSS Includes Pages plugins for Wordpress just don't seem to be working at all.
              Anyone who knows how to get this working - it would be appreciated if you could post your how to here, or direct me to one. Thanks. :)

              I think you'll need to do more than just add him to your blogroll. You need to have an RSS display and point it to http://feeds.feedburner.com/dannychoo_com_main_article_feed_eng.

    Good luck to the contestants that are participating in the giveaway. My desk doesn't even compare to some of the desks I've seen. My desk is so plan, crowded, and boring; that's why I decided not to participate in this giveaway.

    Nice setup in the office! But I see the new employee desk has a computer on it. Didn't know you had already hired someone. Or is it possible just stealing the extra space while its currently available eh?

    Well Danny your Daughters looks well. My Daughter was happy to hear she has her Oneechan on the way. Thats right, I've receieved word that my adoption application for Rin was officially accepted. She'll be winging her way here in July! WooT!

    Cool! Someone voted for mine XD Thanks Asian Ed!

    As much as it pains me to do so (why must we give to those who have so much already?)
    I'd have to nominate either:

    Alodia
    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/18811/Alodia%27s+Desk.html

    or

    Syaoran
    http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/19012/Syaoran%27s+Desk.html

    Both of which have been mentioned before.
    They're pretty good candidates for top prize, I think.

      I love both of these too but the only problem is some of the nicer desk posts seem to have pretty much everything already and don't seem to need the prize as much as a lot of other people do. Wish I had chance to participate too lol.

    I really like your work area Emperor Danny~

    It has the full anime enthusiast feel in it while retaining neatness :)

    Full of stuff but doesn't really look cluttered.

    oh yah~ Good luck to the contestants again~ =D

    My work schedule and the fact that I have a life tend to keep me from being able to enter any of Danny's contest's, had I seen this one when it was posted then I would have had a great entry.
