Known for many black and white sketch art illustrations, Gofu has published more “Kämpfer” sketches.
Often mention Gofu as I not only like the artist’s distinct sketch style, but Gofu produces quite a bit of such black and white illustrations, often of characters from series that I happen to like.
Nice to see Gofu produce a few more “Kämpfer” sketches such as the above image of a smiling and happy Natsuru, a stark contrast to the earlier sketches which depicted a rather saddened Natsuru and Akane.

Railgun yuri art by Iwamoto Maguro

Absolutely had to share these terrific “To Aru Kagaku No Railgun” illustrations from artist Iwamoto Maguro (岩本鮪, Pixiv) depicting Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari.
Saten has been my favorite “To Aru Kagaku No Railgun” character so far, hence do like seeing such great art of her and Uiharu.
Featuring nice and crisp line art, smooth coloring with a subdued filter, Iwamoto Maguro really managed to capture the perfect atmosphere for such a yuri styled illustration, Saten and Uiharu’s affection rendered in a tender kiss.
Like seeing such yuri themed images and appreciate how “To Aru Kagaku No Railgun” does play into this for Saten and Uiharu’s relationship dynamic, nothing overly explicit, but enough hints and suggestions while keeping it all fairly innocent.

Dengeki Panchiranking

Dengeki publishes quite a bit of magazines, books filled with art of cute maidens, mostly known for Dengeki Hime and Dengeki Moeoh.
After being rather disappointed in the illustrations included in “Dengeki Otona No Moeoh Ice Chupi Chupa Bon”, wasn’t too sure what to expect of a book with the ominous title “Dengeki Panchiranking 2”.
Lovely illustration by Buriki, an artist I’m not familiar with yet but that looks very promising judging by this image.
All about panchira centered illustrations, “Dengeki Panchiranking 2” has tons of terrific images and surprisingly does keep to more tasteful yet still daring art. It just strikes the right balance while steering clear of looking vulgar.

Kämpfer sketches by Gofu

Among the various sketches created these past weeks by artist Gofu, there’s a few terrific “Kämpfer” illustrations.
Have always liked the colorful and lively aspect of so many anime related illustrations and artists their work, but also do enjoy seeing black and white sketch art such as these drawn by Gofu.
An excellent sketch of Natsuru, don’t often see her portrayed as if she’s about to cry so it is nice to see Gofu pulled off rendering her this way quite well.
No doubt poor Natsuru is in tears since her Kämpfer alter ego didn’t appear in the latest episode. Quite unfair indeed, a turn of events I must protest against, do hope we’ll get to see her Kämpfer persona exclusively from now.

More Allean art

Saw another great illustration today at Moe Imouto of the lovely Allean (Arein / アレイン), the “Queen’s Blade” character created by Matsuryu (松竜).
Apparently the image originates from the “Queen’s Blade ~The Exiled Virgin~” volume 5 book and showcases a more sensual and playful side of the combat instructor.
Allean looks stunning in this illustration, especially as the more relaxed -even teasing- pose of her eating a strawberry is different from the art we usually see of the elf where she is portrayed more serious, with an intense gaze.
You can see more of Matsuryu’s terrific artwork of Allean here, as well as in the “Queen’s Blade – Allean” book for which the artist originally designed the character.
