Mikoto and Kuroko as Maids
The official character illustrations for Mikoto and Kuroko appeal to me due to a distinct art style, a little sharper, a little less soft, a bit more linear than cute girls get drawn. So yeah, I like the characters via the designs and the expressive images I’ve seen floating around. In much of the official [...]
Misconceptions of a Dwarf
Walking up to a house cat, pointing at it and calling it an aardvark makes about as much sense as pointing to sauerkraut and calling it honey. On some level names are just arbitrary sounds attached to an object, a label and we all know labels stink. Limiting. Confining. Why get bent out of shape [...]
Hold That Taiga
A 1/8 scale PVC Taiga has spent the past couple of months on my desk and I didn’t mind it at all. The highlights of the figure are a seated pose, the chair, and the sort of a china dress. In the real world, the china dress never looks as good as it does on [...]
The BRS: Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star
I still totally dig the Black Rock Shooter. To me she’s a style and a design. Because that’s sort of what she was. Because I’ve chosen not to learn more about her. The bliss of ignorance. Knowing isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Stuff in your head sometimes trump the facts, especially when [...]
Momohime <3
Time evaporates. Her hair streams, the cloth of her sleeves dance, and her encased sword waits on edge for the sweetness of release. Alter’s Momohime qualifies as a masterwork, a Michelangelo of Japanese cute girl figures, both in grace, and nudge/wink, the size of her large hands.
Tamaki Kousaka 2 NSFW
This is probably the prettiest I’ve seen Tamaki in figure form. Figure makers do like them some Tamaki, and why not? She’s pretty and has a killer body. She does suffer a bit from a flood of really crappy figures. Here she’s comfortable, serene, and maybe slightly embarrassed, the tell the blush on her face [...]
Sora Kasugano
Sora Kasugano has a pensive air around her. She would be just another character from an eroge, except for the softly contrasted monochromatic colors of her skin, clothing, and hair caught my eye. I find all of the Yosuganosora characters illustrated by Hashimoto Takashi attractive, mainly for how well the line work and color palette [...]
