@Chironthya : The four paintings in that screen are in the unsorted pack. They shouldn't be related to any specific anime or manga, but they should rather be independent subjects by unknown artists (or better said, i don't know who did them, there was no info about that on the imageboards where i found 'em, and while most of 'em shouldn't actually be related to a series, some may be and nobody just recognized or tagged them).
I only know that the second from the left is by Takehito Harada (illustrator for the Disgaea videogame among other things).
Edit : Shame on me, i recognized the first on the left : it's by
Goto-P, a well known doujin circle/artist. His site, as well as his (her? their?) books are more than worth a look.
@Rayea : Sometimes the downloads from MTS2 come down corrupted, this happens especially when the site is bogged down by a lot of traffic and the service is unstable. Downloads have the tendency to get interrupted halfways, so you get an incomplete, thus corrupted, .rar. Of course, this issue is especially felt when the file to download is a bigger one.
Usually, apart from waiting for a better moment with less traffic, the only solution is following the download process, and reinit it as soon as it gets suddendly completed before really ending the transfer. That way you'll still have in your browser cache the partial downloaded data and the download will restart from the interruption point.
It's a pain in the back, but it works : right now i checked the issue, and it took me 5 tries to completely download the pack, but in the end it came through and i can confirm that it's not corrupted, you just have to be patient with our poor, tired MTS2 server :P
Or, you can try using a download manager, dunno however which ones would work well with MTS2.
@silo pixel & bean / vermillionclouds : Thanks, i'm happy that you found something that meets your tastes and... yeah, i would say "only" 10 pics from Haibane. I couldn't plunder the entire artbook, but god knows how hard it was for me to exclude some of the beautiful artworks that were there :P
BTW, the artbook which most of the haibane paintings come from is called "Guri No Machi, Haibane No Niwa De"; money really well spent
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
