The Artists Acropodium

[Fallen]

Been dead .... I wonder why I'm posting this

This one I have been wanting to post for a while but haven't got up to it yet *sigh*. Well here she is :3

KaShiMa

Japanese name: 佳嶋 (Nickname)
Job: Illustrator
Website: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/kashima/echo/
Notable works: Parfums Prothetiques, DELTA OF VENUS, EROS & THANATOS, SHEER MAGIC (*Note: All art books*)



Kashima (or Echo) is a pure Illustrator - and boy is she good at it (I'm saying she ... I hope it is a she ... Ak. Help!) Anyway she is a regular at the Comic Cons even though she now lives in China. Her main works are her artbooks but she also creates covers for magazines and books.




*cough* I think people now know how I found her ...



If you know me - you know I don't like the usual stuff. And I love the different. The thing about Kashima is her ability to play with the colours of her work. Just looks at all those textures and those flowing lines.





I swear. The more I stare at her works - the more that I convince myself that she never lifts the pen from the page. That all her artworks are just a continuous stroke of the pen and, gee, I love that abnormal - yet - natural flow.





Another thing I love about her is making things seem ... err ... natural. I mean look at the woman with the stomach cage. Some how it looks cute and ... perfect.



I don't think I could tell you about how much I LOVE the colouring. Even the lines are coloured ... which makes it look amazing.





I really don't know how I could talk anymore about her. It is there. It is beautiful. It is alive in some weird way. And this is with low quality scans. Now I better shut up before I call her work natural again.

I just hope Santa knows what to get me this Christmas.

The only reference to gender I could find was a comment on amazon.jp that called the artist a "she". That's all, though.

Thanks, Fallen!

I love the anatomy and the Art Nouveau Harlock and Emeraldas are fantastic.

Oh thank you :3 I like her as well.

UPDATE: You know my beloved Yuuki from my first review? Turns out he is doing a FRICKEN KICK ASS COMIC WITH HIT GIRL. I just had to say that :3 (Though I haven't seen the Kick ass comic/ movie)
