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…

Nice... very nice... O_o
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.
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
like my friend, she is cosplayer and ilustrator
and her art is as well as this art
Ah shes one of my faves! <3<3<3
from what i saw, she's better than shoko-tan.
She draws MOE shonen-type bishojo.
Shokotan would be in for a real competition here.
cool! fits her well being in the anime industry... she's really cute tooo definitely my type
Can I have a crash course in animation too? Please?
That's pretty cool!
Hot damn! :0
marry me marina!!!
I'm in for competition
I 2nd that!
I Dont Know About Her but That Last Pic...
Why Does it Remind me Of Tifa? from Final Fantasy 7?
Oh And Beautiful artwork there!!
ya i know. that black on white clothing and the lean = pure tifa =3. wow shes the best looking seiyu ive seen so far and uuber cute at that
Getsuman to Heiki Mi-na
That's a bunny girl with carrots jets & missile on her hip - heroine related to 'Densha Otoko' series, i couldn't remember the name though...
Wow.. She has potential.
cute
可爱~
like a two for one anime package, cute artist and cute seiyuu
Model + Animator = Dream Girl xD
My kind of woman.
And I like :D
I liked
Indeed!
Oh, wow. She draws quite well.
It's actually a damn good idea for idols to cultivate a second talent like this. While her looks will (sadly) eventually fade, her artistic ability will only grow as she gains experience. It'll give her something to fall back on.
until she gets arthritis or her hands cut off to some pervert otaku :3
she draws my attention well too
i c wat u did thar
so shes part artist part model combo? shouldnt there be a c-c-combo breaker for this?
Not only does draw, and model, she sings and acts. Some people get all of this talent, and I'm still trying to figure out mine.
All you need is training. Granted, natural talent saves a lot of time, but a person who trains continuously can become quite formidable. A person with both training and natural talent will be even better but by no means do you absolutely require natural talent to do something well.
My advice is to do what you enjoy. If you don't have the money and resources to do it from the get-go, then train/learn/attend school in it in the times when not working your day job. Also know that you will most likely be in a fight to do whatever you enjoy, especially if it something with a lot of competition like any art industry job.
Yours truly?
Yeah, go to school, get education, learn something. Even yours trully, Mr President of USA still get coaches to improve their public appearence. Its mean that even you are sitting on the number 1 seat you still got to learn to improve something.
THE PRESIDENT IS POSTING!
HOLY SHIT, I ALWAYS KNEW HE LOVED LOLI
I'd break her combo, if you know what I mean (I mean I'd do her... with my penis.)
Still don't get what you mean. Have to be more specific. As for me, I would like to have sex with her.
she is perfect! (regardless of her faults...)
btw i cant name any
she's flat-chested tho. might be amusing for some people.
A flat chest is a STATUS SYMBOL! Extremely rare and valuable! (Especially on attractive women.)
Disappointing!
well, for those 'majorities' who love oppai, they might see this as faults.
Faults, but can be fixed with silicone upgrades
"WE HAVE UPGRADED TO SILICONE F", so to speak?
Faults, not assets.
loli type asset.
She is perfect in every way!!! o(T_T)o
She is also BOSSU...
MOE seiyuu draws MOE animu.
DO WANT!
i still prefer shokotan
I prefer Shoko-tan's guro.
I prefer Rie Tanaka <3
I'm with KiNA on this one, although the Guro was a nice surprise
Alicia Gunther??? They get married?!
lol spoiler.
I fell in love to Marina all over again.
MAH BOSSU !!
pretty cool skills.
Surprisingly nice, Inoue Marina is one of those I actually prefer in both looks and voice over most others. Good to see she can also draw, pretty cute at that.
She needs to draw her own anime, and voice it herself... That would turn out very interesting.
You know Ume Aoki? The mangaka of widefaces Hidamari Sketch. She's also voicing and singing for her own work.
She only voice herself in the anime, not really what I call a full fledged seiyuu
Eh, close enough.
