Shana. Fiery hair, fiery eyes. This is a great rendition of her, lots of motion in the piece. I think this is a doujin work- can anyone ID the artist?

[singlepic=264,320,240,,This piece by bf's ok farm is full of great details. Yawning cat, pancake treats, snapshots on the wall. I want to buy the plush sheep on the bookshelf!

This elf with a set of mecha ‘ears’ is checking out a plant shoot in the forest. The only problem I have with the pic are the crazy shoulder pads, but they don’t stand out too much to be annoying. 

The girl is nice, but it’s the detail on the plane that catches my eye. It’s a rubberband-power type plane, with broad wingspan and a classic form. 

Another cute character from Happy Core. I couldn’t find any series or game called “Gypsy in the Sky” so perhaps this is the artist’s own creation. 

I’m heading to Japan this weekend!  My wife and I will be checking out the Tokyo Anime Fair at Tokyo Big Sight. I’m really hoping we’ll run across some anime girls and a slew of penguins underneath the iconic inverted pyramids. While we’re away for 2 weeks I probably won’t be posting - or very infrequently. Illustration by Misato Mitsumi.

A little while ago Raezr helped me identify an image by Okama (artist site) Since then I’ve been learning more about this artist - and discovering all the things by him I’ve enjoyed without even realizing he was involved.  His renditions of Rei and Asuka are just too cute. I’ve put up a selection of his original works to enjoy below.

• Bought a Himawari figure
• Thought Getsumen Usagi Heiki Mina looked super fun
• Do want super-cute Rei & Asuka figs

It’s Easter time, and frankly, as much as I like cutesy stuff,  I’m a bit tired of seeing bunnies and chicks everywhere. In celebration of it not actually being Easter quite yet, here is another piece by Chocho Police of one of their signature moody-girls tearing the ears off a plush bunny. Grrrr!  (Don’t worry, cute unharmed bunny pics tomorrow!)

Every time I know the URL for an artist, but the page is all in Japanese, I want to learn how to read it! The same is true for orda’s page, the artist for this image. It seems that orda pushes his art into a different market - creating drawings for club events such as Mega Peer at Club Asia in Tokyo. Great to see the entrepreneurship of artists! 

Odd image of a girl being cooked ina  pot with some yellow fruit things. The steamy vibe of the cook pot and the room are quite nice, and the green and earthy tones used for the composition are lovely. Stands out amongst all the usual super-saturated / pastel stuff out there. Wish I knew the artist so I could find more…  Update - artist is Okama, who has a lot of really cute drawings in a similar style.
