Cosplay blogging idol Shoko-tan (see her gallery if you don’t know of her), is also known as something of a skilled illustrator; the latest creation she casually published on her blog is the above illustration of one time bikini model Aya Hirano…
If we leave aside the generous reduction in weight Shoko-tan has magnanimously granted her portly peer, the resemblance is rather good, although her 2D version seems rather more appealing than the 3D version?

She ABSOLUTELY looks better in 2D, but then again, most-everyone does when you have a good mangaka drawing you...XD
Aya Hirano looks much more cuter in 2D <3
Wow! A very cute drawing indeed <3
Extremely cute caricature(I mean this in a positive way) of herself!
Hirano Aya is not fat.
"Really, Really Large Super-Plus Sized Model"
kawaiii!!!!
"although her 2D version seems rather more appealing than the 3D version?"
That's the case not just with Hirano, but everyone else! ;)
Wow, Aya is gorgeous in real life, sure 2d is cute but you can't seriously think it's better than the real girl? Aya is gorgeous, and so far from portly. If she's fat then I'm obese. Shoko is really talented though, that's an amazing drawing!
OH WOW! That is so cute! Amazing talent.
Generic drawing is generic.
She's really cute! The 2D I mean.
:D
Wow, she's really good.
so...moe..
Now a 2D and 3D Aya exists! WIN!
She looks like a short(er) haired Haruhi in 2D lololol!
I agree, she looks exactly like haruhi. so it's just fanart, not lovely aya hirano. :|
Tis a shame that they stopped translation of Shoko-tan's blog.
Both of them seem equally fuckable, but I'm also leaning on the 2D side since that's not exactly the best picture of her...
Wow, very nice... didn't know Shoko-tan also could draw this professionaly.
Kudos to her, again.
Lol can I say I prefer the 2D one in this case?
Wow that's amazing, Shokotan has so much talent ^^
You know it's kind of weird. What does make the 2D version look better?
Let's compare the differences.
2D:
Bigger Head
Large eyes
Small (non-existent) Nose
Smaller mouth (no teeth showing)
Is that what we really prefer? What are your thoughts?
I think it's more just the anime style than the actual physical attributes.
If(god forbid) she was drawn concerning those points you made in say, western comic book form, there would probably be a lot of people who would DO NOT WANT together simultaneously.
Regardless, I like that she puts so much detail into the eyes. I'm amazed that someone who is supposedly only a cosplay idol has such a firm grasp of shading and the like.
so cute...
WAH!!!
2d aya looks cute, 3d aya mm...not bad... normal
"rather more appealing THE THE 3d version"?
Could be a typo.
"rather more appealing the 3D version?"
simply deleting the error isn't always the right solution :D
*facepalming*
So cute! Shokotan is really a good drawer and illustrator. Hope that one day she would release her own manga series!
That's an adorable picture right there. I love it!
2D Aya Hirano is mai waifu. 3D...eh...she can come over for tea and we'll see what happens.
Hahaha, my thoughts exactly XD
Looks good, looks like she's improving.
WAT
>>her 2D version seems rather more appealing the 3D version
don't fucking talk bad of my waifu please
She's a fat toad and you know it.
I simply don't understand why you think that she's fat. I don't see nothing wrong with her. She looks in shape.
I don't really expect that you change your opinion about her, but those comments that you do sometimes kinda bug me.
Anyway, maybe you could show how fat she is actually if I fail on see something that is.
You're in denial, but even she admits it.

Hum, I remember that. However, not because a girl thinks she's fat means that she's actually fat. Also, is not the same 'fat' for a normal person that 'fat' for a show person. Maybe she could be fat for an idol. And don't forget that that article was a few months ago.
So, I still fail on see that she's fat.
You fail to notice that Artefact was being sarcastic.
(right?)
I'm surprised she even fit on the paper.
She uses photoshop to try and conceal it, but even then it rarely works.
I like the 2D version
I see that Shoko-tan's drawing skills has improved greatly, comparing to the delusional manga of Vegeta and Trunks fighting over her which she drawn many years ago lol
AHRG! And just when I thought she couldn't get any more moe.
Wow, very nice aya drawing :o
if it's 2D Hirano Aya we're talking about, i stick with Kanan's version mostly since it's when she had long hair still:
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o190/uragayduck/168758499347355d78e94c6.jpg
had a bigger scan which included 2D versions of Inamura Yuna and Hanamura Satomi as well but can't seem to find it anymore....
I don't know, asian girls, or maybe just japanese girls seem to pull off short hair with out appearing to be butch. Its very rare for a western girl to have short hair and look really good. Most of the time they come off as quirky or manlike. However looking through the galleries here, and various other places, japanese, and other asians for that matter can have short hair and still look sexy, and intelligent.
Also short haired anime girls are really cute.
this, sir, is entirely a matter of taste.
who says a slightly manly look is not appealing?
i certainly prefer it over the bleached and permed long hair styles that make many girls look nothing more than slutty and bitchy.
this is of course not to say long, blonde and permed hair looks bad in general.
If you happen upon it, please consider upping it to the Channel or otherwise as I think it would be interesting to see...
