Popular idol-seiyuu Inoue Marina, famous for numerous roles, such as Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann and Alicia from Senjou no Valkryia, seems also to have another side to her.
She can draw.
She may be reminiscent of another artistically inclined idol, but her illustrations are far more classy; it may also come as a relief to some to learn that she does not inlude guro art in her portfolio.
You can see her art below:
Her skills have surprised many who expected an idol’s asset to be her face and voice, and nothing else…
Apparently, during the production of Gurren Lagann she also received a crash course on animation:
Were it not for the fact that animators are even poorer than seiyuu, we might think she has a possible alternative career lined up…

Oh, she's an idol seiyuu who can actually act , that's refreshing. On top of that she also draws?
Of course her cuteness a highly valuable asset, too. Count me in the "marry me Marina" club.
Nice... very nice... O_o
Now that's an idol with REAL talents.
This has taught me a lot even though it's just a small video
(/^_^)/
She was also the seiyu for Kitsu Chiri from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei....
alicia irl is also very cute :D
She's hot and has talent. What's there not to like?

Fail. It's Yoko Littner.
Such a grammar nazi are we?
I was waiting for a point where I'd add that Maria also plays Chiri from SZS, so she'd be quite particular about a spelling error.
Wrong. It's actually both. Romanji would have it as Ritona while English is Littner.
I love you even more Marina... MARRY ME or i will slice my penis, wahaha.
My god, she can kick my ass in drawing; close fight but I'll still lose.
And she's a seiyuu! A SEIYUU! My dream job!
I'd rape her
I'm glad to see some news about her, loving her this much, as i proudly "already said it before".
but now i'm getting a little jealous. eww...
be my wife XD
Cute face + Art skills + Seiyuu skills = AWESOME
what a perfect girl.
I'D HIT HER
wow, she's fit and talented.
she can draw pretty good, perhaps better than me
damn she sure is talented...
She sings beautifully, too. The ED song for "Le Portrait de Petit Cossette" still haunts me.
OMG I just realized she played Cossette. And she's super cute! Super talented!
Thank you for your coming!
This makes me want to get back into drawing again.
Bossu-san! Nice work!
Inoue Marina is one of my favourites, though Nonaka Ai is still #1 in my book.
Awwwww thats so awesome!! And boy can she draw....
I now have a new level of respect for Marina Inoue. She... she can draw.
*salute*
cute, talented and artistically inclined...
...i think i'm in love <3 <3 <3
alternative career in cosplaying?
hehehe
Cosplaying is a career?
Interesting...
Holy shit, she has a pretty nice face, pretty nice body, sweet voice, and good art... deadly combo right there, deadly combo.
she can probably shoot rifles like alicia too...
Or Yoko.
More like this, please. Specifically having to do with Inoue-neesan. ~<3
Her art is cute as well as her. I hope she draws Boss (Kana) too :3
A whole package of excellence! A pretty plus + talents= dream wife teehee. (^~^)/
I need a girl like this. ;_; <3
Her Yoko looks lovely!
GASP
the drawing is well too

She draws MOE shonen-type bishojo.
Shokotan would be in for a real competition here.

Can I have a crash course in animation too? Please?
That's pretty cool!
