The first artbook from Fireangels Publishing

The theme of this doujinshi artbook is Boys' Love, bishounen, and bi-color. The "Bi" in "Bi-Color" refers both to the two-tone nature of the images and to the Japanese word "bi," meaning beautiful, in bishounen.

You will find selected images from artists in Germany, Austria (SlippedDee, Khatos, TheFly), Switzerland (LC, Conny_Chiwa), Poland (Pedes), Brazil (Astasia), and China (flames).

An artbook with a international diversity of the artists. The requirement that no image may contain more than black, white, and one additional color gives the different styles and coloring techniques of the artists a suitable framework.

"Bi-Color" was created in cooperation with Animexx e.V., whose support brought many artists together for the specially organized competition, creating an artbook of more than 100 pages.
