i’m inspired by Uno and i collect all his stuff (guidebooks, artbooks), but i don’t have his doujins.

here’s a sample of my style:

thanks!

Thanks. I never actually explored the American witchblade site for witchblade anime stuff. I stopped going there after I stopped collecting WB comics. Guess it’s time to look around that site again and see what I’ve missed out for so long.

aiee I just discovered this site and already my wallet is preparing defenses to keep my hand away…

as it turns out, I’m watching Witchblade right now. Also previously saw Love Hina and Stellvia and enjoyed those two (especially Stellvia), so I guess that makes me a minor fan of his works?

His designs are definitely cute and attractive and suits my tastes. Time to add this to my amazon.jp wishlist. This book, INO, Happo Bijin, and Sano Toshihide’s illustration books can all sit in the checkout waiting room and chat up how they plan on sucking my wallet dry…

This is out already?

Looking at your review, Shingo, I can’t help but feel great disappointment. Most of the WB art I already have in the form of the WB artbook (a hell of a lot more pages than this book, I can tell you). This seems like an utterly pointless marketing / milking gimmick on the part of Shueisha. Meh.

Yes, I have spoken to Sirius Star a few times over the past few years. Last time was last month in fact! He now has a highly responsible job, which probably explains his lack of artistic output more recently.

Great, now I have to start digging for Macha doujinshi…

Yes, I am still going to buy this anyway. It’s a shame there’s not more in it, but I’ll take pretty much anything of his.

And it’s definitely good to have a guy like this doing chara designs for big shows. Who else would inspire the kyonyuu doujinshi artists?

Looks like someone should hit this book with a Wild Draw Four.

Guh. I did not know that Uno Makoto did futanari work. I’m going to have to attempt to track some of that down.

>>Work_Ethic
You’re missing out on Uno’s art… his designs are the inspiration for so many great ero doujinshi it seems worth it to go to the source every once and awhile. …Thinking about it, Uno shifting to character design duty may have done the fan scene more service overall than he did as a doujinka. Without him we never would’ve had Yayoi, or Masane, or Garnet… Hmm, that’s a perspective I hadn’t thought of before.

>>Devastator
I’m with you on a desire to see the poster made into figure form, that would be positively lovely. If someone rises to the challenge I hope it’s not Kotobukiya, their limited edition Megami Magazine Masane was a bit underwhelming. :/

>>kahm
Sorry, I wanted to get this out faster but my schedule has been pretty packed of late. Things should ease up a bit early next week so I should be able to present reviews in a more timely fashion. ^^;;

>>Richard “Pocky” Kim
I’m sure you can scrounge it up from somewhere, for Uno’s sake… :D

>>Purel
I feel your pain. There’s not a whole lot here for the Uno completionist, sadly, beyond the poster and a few pieces of new Dragonaut art. I was hoping for more, but what can you do…

>>blacklotus
I can guarantee that there is no pornographic content in this book, and unless Singaporean censors have a problem with sexiness it will pass through unscathed.

>>P Laskey
I like both his old and new styles, but something about his new experiments with gradient coloring leave me with a bit of a cheap feeling… I think he’s on more solid ground with his cel shading work.

Have you encountered Sirius Star in the past? I’ve met him once or twice at a few events over the years and exchanged a few words, but haven’t seen him recently; seems like he’s not so active these days.

There is indeed a lot of difference between the Gravion/Stellvia phase and the Witchblade/Dragonaut material. Seems there is this style of ballooning boobs and bums with drastically tapering limbs which some other artists also use. Interesting to see the name Sirius Star crop up again…
