Here is a preview of XXXHOLiC’s Fukusei Genga, taken from Bessatsu Shonen Magazine‘s official blog:
Yuuko!
The Fukusei Genga is printed in a quality in order to look like a replica of the original art. According to the magazine’s editor, it is the same technique used to make replicas of paintings such as from van Gogh and Renoir.
Details on how to apply for it (Japan residents, only) will be published in this month’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine.

Huzzah for Yuuko! This is a really beautiful illustration (though the bat motif was really subtle and unexpected).

Magicians? There’s a witch and an ambiguous shop-owner, but Clow’s too big to be hiding behind anything. XD
The bats are mixed in with the stars, see? In addition to the one pointed out, there are several on Yuuko’s bodice, and her headpiece seems to be loosely modeled on bats’ wings. It’s a nifty tie-in with the “moon and stars” theme.

Kimihiro has a little bat on his neck, although in general the impression I got was CLOOOOOOOOOOOW xD (because of the stars, CCS, etc.) but it’s a gorgeous picture, I wish I lived in Japan u.u but anyway, this can be made into a minor quality poster someday ;D!

Um, this is a bit disconnected, but would it be possible for me to use any of your CLAMP graffiti pictures for icon making? If you would rather I didn’t, that’s fine.

I`m getting it he,he,he. You just have to send a letter with 2900 yens in stamps, there’s no lottery (but yes, you have to live in Japan…) I will tell you how it is when I receive it.
