Here’s the Illustrator Intro once again! But unlike usual, its not a few days late but a few months late <3 I’m pretty sure I said I was going to do Moekibara Fumitake (萌木原ふみたけ) but I can’t really remember all that well, but meh Moekibara Fumitake it is. I don’t know what circle he is in if he is in one at all and I have 128 of his scans totalling 294MB… Now I have to pick 20 of them out to show here >_> I like Moekibara Fumitake’s art alot. So moe~
Moekibara Fumitake does illustrations for Lump of Sugar (eroge company) which has very nice drawings (all by Moekibara Fumitake I thinks) and apparently very good stories with a shitload of kanji. Which is one of the reasons I have collected about half their games on my hard drive but not played a single one. Hmm everyone probably knows Tayutama got turned into an anime but I don’t think it I’ll play it for a while because I care about Mashiro or Ameri at all. I’ve got no problem with Mifuyu though! I’ll probably play Itsusora first just because of Konome <333 Japanese wiki says Moekibara Fumitake likes to draw his girls with “ears” but there aren’t that many of them. It’s usually only one or two characters in each game I think? Here’s Moekibara Fumitake on Japanese Wiki and his official site.
All the scans I get are from moe imouto now. I stopped visiting kona-chan coz no time T__T If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures. If the filename is something like moe-37571-suzuhira_hiro thenyou’ll be able to find the image at moe.imouto.org/post/show/37571. Just change the numbers
I just realised I have two really similar images of Mifuyu in there but I really can’t be bothered changing it so meh. Tayutama anime is piling up on my hard drive because even though the art was ok it’ll still never be as good as the original. I’ve only watched about half and I’m really quite lazy to watch the rest. Is it worth watching at all? I might just watched Keroro Gunsou instead lol. The next illustrator is another illustrator that I like a fair bit. I can’t really tell his style from this picture but I guess I have to at least make it a little bit hard for people to guess!
Moe~
Looks familiar?
Saw this scan on moe imouto and of course being a lover of all things Key I had to investigate! Of course the portal of knowledge somehow had information on this “Angel Beats!” that I was not aware of. All I can tell is that it’s drawn by Na-Ga (I swear I’ll write up a post about Na-Ga one day). It’s a “mixed media” project, whatever that means so it’s probably not a visual novel but apparently there will be an anime so thats good. And all this reminded me to check up on Rewrite official site and it’s actually changed from just one picture! Yayz! Still no release date though but that’s fine because I still haven’t touched my eroge. Need to get a laptop still. Even though Mio has a Mac I not be getting one because they are cost way too much and apparently eroge doesn’t run on Macs.
Anybody else heard about this Angel Beats! thing?

Here’s the Illustrator Intro a few days late like usual! This week I’ll be introducing you to Izumi Tsubasu’s (和泉つばす) art! Her circle is Hisuitei (翡翠亭). I have 23 Ryohka scans coming to 96MB, which really isn’t very many. I only just managed to find the usual 20 or so that I shove in a post. I actually don’t like Izumi Tsubasu’s artwork all that much, but it is definitely good. Tony Taka is the same but I don’t really like the art so much that I would download a 50MB or 100MB scan. My love for illustrations is expressed in megabytes XD
Izumi Tsubasu did illustrations for Feng (eroge company). She worked on Aozora no Mieru Oka and Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka with Ryohka apparently and made the characters that I don’t really pay much attention to. It seems she also worked on Mashiro-iro Symphony which is an eroge by Palette. It looks good so I’ll probably download it when it comes out. From what I can see she really likes to draw maids and lots of pantsu exposure. Nearly every Izumi Tsubasu scan that I have is of a maid!
All the scans I get are from konachan and moe imouto. If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures. If the filename is something like moe-37571-suzuhira_hiro then that means the image came from moe imouto. You just need to type moe.imouto.org/post/show/37571 in the navigation bar. Don’t worry about the suzuhira_hiro bit coz that’s just the tag. If the filename is like konachancom-37037-suzuhira_hiro.jpg then it’s the same except instead of moe imouto it’s at konachan so just type konachan.com/post/show/37037. If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
According to Doujinshi DB, Ryohka has done 68 doujinshis which is alot! Just looking at the thumbnails on that page, none of them seem particularly great though. TheAkiba has one artbook though, and it looks good. I should probably downlaod it to expand my Izumi Tsubasu collection. Izumi Tsubasu on Japanese Wiki, her blog and Hisuitei site here. After checking out all of these sites I like Izumi Tsubasu more than I did before I started writing this post XD
Next week’s illustrator is one of my favourites again! You probably can’t tell who it is from this picture but if I showed you anything else it would probably be too obvious. After all he did illustrations for an eroge that’s having an anime this season! Oh and it seems like sometime last week when I was hibernating the blog hit the 10,000 hit mark! Thanks to all the lurkers that read my blog and spammers that post spam that gets caught by the spam eater but still make my hits go up!!
lol i had to scribble on the picture again
This week’s real featured illustrator is Ryohka (涼香), because someone asked about him/her a few weeks back I think. Ryohka’s circle is Suzuya (涼屋). I have 24 Ryohka scans totalling 174MB, which makes them seem like they are really big, but it’s just because I have one scan thats 53MB XD. Ryohka’s artwook seems to resemble Nanao Naru’s art a bit I think, but then again quite a few good illustrators have fairly similar drawing styles.
I knew that Ryohka did illustrations for Feng (another eroge company). Ryohka did the illustrations for Mahou Shoujo Twinkle (which I’ve never even heard of), Aozora no Mieru Oka and Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka (designs for Minato <3 and Nagomi only apparently), all Feng eroges, none of which I bothered downloading… but apparently Hemi thinks they’re good (Aozora no Mieru Oka at least), and I usually go by Hemi’s reccomendation XD Ryohka also did some illustrations for Pia Carrot GP by Cocktail Soft (I think I have it) and Wizard Girl Ambitious by sugar pot (I know I have this).
All the scans I get are from konachan and moe imouto. If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures. If the filename is something like moe-37571-suzuhira_hiro then that means the image came from moe imouto. You just need to type moe.imouto.org/post/show/37571 in the navigation bar. Don’t worry about the suzuhira_hiro bit coz that’s just the tag. If the filename is like konachancom-37037-suzuhira_hiro.jpg then it’s the same except instead of moe imouto it’s at konachan so just type konachan.com/post/show/37037. If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
Doujinshi DB says Ryohka has done 34 doujinshis which seems to be quite alot! I would like to get a hold of a copy of the Miku one… Unfortunately TheAkiba has no Ryohka artbooks. Here’s Ryohka on Japanese Wiki and Ryohka’s site. The site has some nice pictures but they aren’t high-res so not worth downloading. I hate it when I really nice pictures that are 400×240 and have artifacts T__T
Next week’s illustrator (well hopefully I’ll write something up next week, but I think I will because it’s midsemester holiday <3) is apparently Ryohka’s friend. This should be an easy one to guess!
Once again I’ll put up two Illustrator Intros because of my I didn’t post anything last week. I was busy doing my assignment – is my excuse but actually I had spare time and and just felt too lazy to do anything after I finished my assignment.
This week’s featured illustrator is Mitha, who’s circle is Indico lite. At the moment I have 53 Mitha scans totalling 257MB. You can probably tell yourself that Mitha does really, really nice illustrations – I rank her drawings up there with Suzuhira Hiro, Carnelian, Mikou, Tenmaso, Tasuku Iizuki and Moekibara Fumitake (that’s all my favourite illustrators that I can think of off the top of my head XD)
I know from lurking on hongfire that Mitha does illustrations for an eroge company called Moonstone! She did the CGs for Gift and Clear (both eroges by Moonstone) and I think they are both sitting on my computer waiting to be installed too.. I’ll probably never get around to playing half the eroges on my computer but somehow watching the torrents plod along makes me happy =D
Doujinshi DB says Mitha has done 18 doujinshis and I’ve seen quite a few of her Miku ones up on moe imouto <3. TheAkiba has two of them, which I would download except I’ve used up too much bandwidth again this month T__T Japanese Wikipedia article and Indico lite official site here for those that are interested. Oh and her pixiv too! I see some really nice pictures on pixiv too but I can’t get to the high-res stuff because I haven’t been bothered to register yet. I should really get around to that sometime, coz there is some really nice stuff on pixiv!
All the scans I get are from konachan and moe imouto. If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures. If the filename is something like moe-37571-suzuhira_hiro then that means the image came from moe imouto. You just need to type moe.imouto.org/post/show/37571 in the navigation bar. Don’t worry about the suzuhira_hiro bit coz that’s just the tag.

If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
Might be a bit hard to tell who tomorrow’s illustrator is from the pic – I couldn’t tell. Sometimes the tags on moe imouto are wrong though >_< but I don’t think they are this time
I watched the whole anime not knowing she was voiced by Hirano Aya!!
This weekend I’m putting up two Illustrator Intros because of my failure to write one last week T__T
This week’s featured illustrator is Tenmu Shinryuusai (天夢森流彩). I always thought the illustrator’s name was Nagomiko (和（巫女）) but apparently that is the circle name (eg. Mikeou is the artist and Pink Chuchu is the circle). I don’t think Tenmu Shinryuusai has done too many artworks, because I can only find 38 scans on my comp totalling 73.5MB…
While Tenmu Shinryuusai hasn’t done too many artworks, they are all fairly high quality in my opinion, and as the circle name suggests, pretty much every single picture features mikos. I can’t seem to find a wikipedia page but Doujinshi DB has a page which lists the the 15 doujinshis done by Tenmu Shinryuusai. Personally I think the Suigetsu one (月ノ唄) is the best, then the Utawarerumono one. I think Nagomiko is only a doujinshi circle, so they probably haven’t done any illustrations for eroge. Nagomiko’s site is here. If you click on it you’ll be greeted by a NSFW image of a miko experiencing some major wardrobe malfunctions =D TheAkiba seems to have a few Nagomiko artbook scans too.

If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures.

If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
Anyone who’s played a few eroges should be able to recognise who next week’s illustrator is! I haven’t actually made it to starting on them yet though T__T Still not even finished my first run through of Seinarukana…
- It’s not a miko but kimono is close enough?
Nobody seems to have taken any guesses at his week’s featured artist (well actually last week’s =_=) but I’m pretty sure most people would recognise Tinkle’s art?! Tinkle does draw very nice bishoujos, but you do tend to get distracted from the bishoujos because of the crazy amount of detail in the clothes. Pretty much every Tinkle drawing has frills and laces and things like that to make the art more moesome. I have 72 Tinkle scans totalling at 910MB!!! I love and hate Tinkle scans… Love them because they’re so pretty but hate them because they are usually larger than 20MB, which is not especially good when you have limited bandwidth T___T
Surprisingly Japanese Wikipedia tells me that Tinkle has not drawn artwork for any eroge (well there are a few names of games and stuff in japanese but I don’t recognise them and I don’t think they are eroge), but has drawn some manga and of course, a bunch of art books. Something new that I just found out by reading that wikipedia article is that Tinkle is actually a group of two guys, Harukaze Setsuna and Bell. I did find it a bit strange that I saw those two names on the tags for all Tinkle’s artwork on moe imouto recently XD Oh and here’s the site.

It’s rather difficult to write about artists that I know nothing about and there’s really not much point in me just translating the whole wikipedia article, because my japanese is still quite terrible… But I guess taking a quick look through the articles is good though because it forces me to use my japanese skills a little bit. Most of the time when I have to read lots of japanese online I’m fairly hopeless, but rikaichan is my friend XD
Another not so well known artist next week
This week’s featured artist is Murakami Suigun! I like Murakami Suigun’s art, because somehow it just seems really nice and polished. Once again I’m horrible at describing art. I think my english skills are degrading… I have 152 Murakami Suigun scans making up a total of 218MB. There is no english wikipedia article for Murakami Suigun either, so I’ll write while referring to what Sankaku Complex’s article on Murakami Suigun. Their version is probably more informative than mine so visit them if you want more.
As far as I know Murakami Suigun doesn’t really do many iillustrations for eroge, but Japanese Wiki says otherwise, because it says he? (I think Murakami Suigun is male) has done CG art for 10 eroges! I did know that he? did the illustrations for Pia Carrot G.O. though, which is also sitting on my hard drive. All the other games that he’s done art for are games I’ve never even heard of before >_> I don’t think he’s a part of any circle either. I really know absolutely nothing about Murakami Suigun except that he? draws lots of maids and bondage stuff. The first and most favourite art of his is the F-ism (fetishism probably) series, which is usually maids/mikos and bondage. I’m not really into S&M and stuff but good art is alluring even if you’re not usually into that kind of stuff… Official site here.

If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures.

If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
I think Murakami Suigun is a bit of a slightly less well-known artist, so next week I’ll be giving another obvious one that everyone will know XD
I wonder who drew this?!
Mikeou is another great artist that does alot of illustrations for eroge. I don’t really know how to describe Mikeou’s art, all I can say about it is that it’s just too moelicious!! I currently have 139 scans of Mikeou’s artwork totalling 402MB. There is no wikipedia article for Mikeou so I shall just write up whatever I know, which isn’t much actually:
Mikeou is a male (I think) illustrator, who is part of of the circle “Pink Chuchu”. Mikeou has done alot of artbooks and is the artist for Marmalade (eroge company), which means Mikeou is the illustrator for Konneko, Miraroma, Lyrical Lyric and Lyric DS – all of which I have sitting on my hard drive except for Konneko.Here is Mikeou’s moonrune wikipeda page and official site.
All the scans I get are from konachan and moe imouto. If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures. If the filename is something like moe-37571-suzuhira_hiro then that means the image came from moe imouto. You just need to type moe.imouto.org/post/show/37571 in the navigation bar. Don’t worry about the suzuhira_hiro bit coz that’s just the tag.

If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
This week’s illustrator intro was pretty short… mainly because of the lack of wikipedia copypasta, but then also because I can’t quite pick something about Mikeou’s artwork that makes it so good and rant about. But Mikeou is definitely good stuff, after all Mikeou was the reason i downloaded at least 10GB of Marmalade eroge!
Next week's hinto. I know it's ridiculously easy to find out whose artwork it is by the tags but don't look it up. That's cheating!!
Carnelian is another one of my favouritest artists from a long time ago. There are a few artists that I like better than her now, but a few years ago she would have been my favourite. I have 203 pictures of her’s at the moment (quite a few duplicates though), totalling 449MB. Here’s the usual wiki copypasta:
Carnelian (born September 21) is a well-known Japanese female CG and dōjinshi artist. She had done artwork and character designs for various anime, yaoi and hentai games such as Kao no Nai Tsuki, Yami to Boshi to Hon no Tabibito, Tail Tale, Koiyoubi (”Day of Love” in the English Dub), and more. Her newest work is Quilt. She established her own game company named Root, and occasionally draw dōjinshi.
Works:
Kao no Nai Tsuki illustration collection
Kao no Nai Tsuki Comic book collection (by Carnelian and various artists)
Yami to Boshi to Hon no Tabibito illustration collection
Touka Gettan illustration collection
Touka Gettan Equiss Book Trinity – Messiah Visualbook
Wikipedia isn’t really correct here, because her newest works is Touka Gettan (2007) while Quilt is a 2005 eroge. Can’t really expect english wikipedia to be too accurate with japanese illustrators though. In fact, I’m pretty impressed there is even a page for Carnelian – alot of the artists I will be covering in the next few weeks don’t have pages on english wikipedia. Once again here’s her Japanese Wikipedia page and Official Website.
Of the works she’s done, I have the eroges Quilt and Kao no Nai Tsuki (might also be known as Moonlight Lady) which I also haven’t gotten around to playing yet though Quilt is installed on my computer. I really want to get around to capturing Airi as soon as I move my comp someplace safe where there will be no perving eyes when I read my eroge. Oh and you can probably see one of her pics in my header.
I’m sure you’ll agree with me that Carnelian draws beautiful eyes! Even on the chibis, the eyes have a really nice look, I just don’t know how to describe it. Once again apart from being able to recognise her art I don’t know much else about her, so it’s that time of the week again – Imagedump Time!!
Here’s the copypasta from last week’s Illustrator Intro that I might just copy into every week’s one just in case people didn’t read the older ones but want the pics:
All the scans I get are from konachan and moe imouto. If you really like a pic and want to get the high-res version then you can find it on konachan or moe imouto easily because I don’t change the filenames of my pictures. If the filename is something like moe-37571-suzuhira_hiro then that means the image came from moe imouto. You just need to type moe.imouto.org/post/show/37571 in the navigation bar. Don’t worry about the suzuhira_hiro bit coz that’s just the tag.

If the filename is something else then, sorry I don’t remember where I got the pic from.
Clue for next week's illustrator. Should be easy to guess...
