Seiyuu otaku have been celebrating those seiyuu who are good with their hands as well as their mouths – and it looks as if a number of them may well be artistically talented enough to pursue careers as illustrators or mangaka in addition to voice work, as is plainly evident when their work is showcased:
Marina Inoue:
Eri Kitamura:
Aki Toyosaki (details):
Ayahi Takagaki:
Mai Kadowaki:
Yuuko Goto:
Ayane Sakura:
Kana Hanazawa:
Saori Hayami:
Aoi Yuuki:
Sumire Uesaka:
The Strike Witches cast:
And of course, there is Yuu Kobayashi:
WTF..Yuu Kobayashi… this gives me goosebumps… is this girl okay..?
Thanks Sumire Uesaka, I didn’t feel like sleeping tonight anyway.
Marina Inoue: Talented in voice as well as art.
What.. WTF @ Yuu Kobayashi’s artwork? Her favorite anime character has gotta be Chinatsu Yoshikawa.
i was waiting for yuu kobayashi.
I wonder of Wakamoto can draw.
Wants to look.
it’s moe,moe,moe,moe,moe,moe,moe, and then ends with post modern art from Yui Kobayashi haha
This. That’s why she’s so awesome. Her art is 100% her own. :’)
KONAMI: If you’re ever making a Silent Hill sequel again and there’s a school in it, please fill one of the classrooms with ALL of Kobayashi’s art. And lock the player in the room until they’ve look at EVERY SINGLE ONE.
I’d fucking buy 10 copies!
For a seiyuu who’s a seiyuu in Bakuman, all she can draw is a….whut?….
such great artist? Really? this is considered art? Its highschool level at best.
Another thought about Marina Inoue: from what’s posted here, I think she might be a better artist than Coharu Sakuraba, MINAMI-KE’s mangaka, though I admit that may not necessarily be fair, since all I’m seeing from her is single pages of manga at most. I dunno if she can churn out so many pages of art a month like a professional mangaka like Coharu Sakuraba can. It’s one thing to make one nice drawing of a girl, it’s another thing entirely to make 50 different drawings of the same girl in different poses and with different expressions for a single manga chapter.
I see. Thanks for the insight.
“And of course, there is Yuu Kobayashi”… I lol’d.
“…who are good with their hands as well as their mouths” … enough said.
*saw yuu kobayashi drawing…. and fUCK that is so abstract
is aoi-yuuki-3.jpg really drawn by Aoi Yuuki herself?
Kana Hanazawa likes DP. Look at the picture.
Seems to be in the order of best to worst.
You know… All I could ever draw were stick people, but seeing Yuu Kobayashi’s work has rekindled the hope I have for my own artistic ability. Cheers.
tfw cant draw as good as them
Last pic a new type of pokemon?
Cure Peace’s seiyuu doesn’t draw that well I see…
Kana Hanazawa high as shit, drawing LSP dancing with a mushroom and a double penetration monster.
Kana you’re drunk, give Homu your keys
damn. i so want a signature of YOKO from ‘YOKO’.
D:
Dat cosette!!!! Fap fap fap hhhhhhhnnnngghhh!!!!!
Yuu Kobayashi > All
Some seiyuus’ drawings are kinda disturbing… 😡
These are quite good. well..um…most of them haha
Yuu Kobayashi: Monster Hunter
That picture Marina Inoue did is fantastic. Just my type of character style as well! She went up a few notches in my book!
inoue-1.jpg ♡
So cute I feel kinda crushed inside.
Man, i so want too see a manga written by Gen Urobochi and drawn by Yuu Kobayashi! Gestalt Collapse FTW!
Marina Inoue’s art looks great.
Where’s Wakamoto Norio’s image?
Well, you do have to be a bit of a nerd to aim to be a seiyuu in the first place, I suppose.
That’s not true at all. Look at Haruka Tomatsu, she doesn’t even like Anime or Manga!
So they draw well too? Fine! It’s not like I was jealous of them to begin with!
It’s alright… *Pats tsundere on the head*
Better than Oda
Yuu Kobayashi and Urobuchi Gen should make an anime together. It would be beast.
trademarks the name “Beast” now….
“Seiyuu otaku have been celebrating those seiyuu who are good with their hands as well as their mouths…”
No one thought this as a sex reference yet?!!
Oh I did….
And I can’t get those pics out of my head now…
damn they did a better job than i did, and this is my field that im best at
Damn… I would pay millions for Marina Inoue signed arts 🙁
I would pay millions for those Kobayashi Yuu draws, that is the real gold!
Aoi Yuki 3, isnt that just a still from the Anime, where madoka was drawing her magical girl outfit ideas, did she work on the series art?
I seem to recall that she showed her sketches to Ume and she liked them so they got put in or something to that effect.
I quite like this kind of staff interaction.
FALSE! In Vol 1. commentary. Ume said she was requested by staff to draw somthing look like amateur drawing, but it not quite well for them. so Ao-chan try and staff like it.
About outfit. There’re all Ume-sensei’s work.
So, basically, Marina Inoue, the voice of Kana Minami, should also have done key animation for seasons 2 and 3 of MINAMI-KE. It’d have easily looked better than what Studio Asread’s B team could draw.
I really like the new look of Season 2 compared to Season 1.. Kana’s my favorite (looks like a brunette TDA Miku lol) and her voice is so cute!.. and only recently realized her VA can make amazing manga lines!
Well, I finally have a VA crush for the first time xD
I’d gladly rewatch Season 2 if she makes some key animations for it 😀
What do you mean? Season 2…or 3 (depending on how you look at it) of Minami-ke only just started to air this season…:P
Fuck yea exactly my thoughts!!!
I would have the motivation and the skills (partly, at least) but pursuing a mangaka/comic artist career like this here in germany is next to impossible. Most german people think comics in general are rubbish ;(
Is there any way to see an example of your drawing skills?
I’m also an artist from Germany.
I saw mile away what was going to be the last one on this list.
I remember Kobayashi Yuu’s performance of the Maria+Holic opening, and suddenly it all makes sense…
MINNA~ MESU BUTA NI NAREEE~
theres just no voice on earth that can possibly match the craziness which is Kobayashi Yuu
As much as i love Kana Hanazawa, her work wasn’t… welll…
Marina Inoue is awesome.
Didn’t she create the Lumpy Space People?
can someone explain the Yuu Kobayashi art? ._.
She sees the world the same way as the protag in Saya no Uta.
haha indeed XD
Ayane’s is really cute, and their all good (kinda of)
but I gotta say Marina blows the rest them of the outta the water…
Saw the title and expected Yuu Kobayashi.
Was not disappoint.
Whatever Yuu Kobayashi’s on i want some too!
speaking of titles, am i the only one disappointed with it??
come on think of the possibility
“seiyu that are great with their hands as well as their mouth”
“little side known about seiyu”
“seiyu: and you thought they are only good with their mouth”
seriously it’s such a title trolling goldmine >_>”
Please leave.
crap lol honestly. i should leave as well.. lol
*sigh* =x
you come back when you’re straight
Kobayashi Yuu, always #1 in my haato.
your pigeon?
That’s be hato.
Same here. Saw that coming a mile away.
I assumed they would leave her out and got this ready: http://i.imgur.com/wHR8K.jpg
Truly a Masterpiece. I wish I had her pixiv. xd
Alicia Melchiott *check*
Cosette Coalhearth *check*
Why no Riela Marcellis? They no like VC3?
No, SanCom haven’t got infinite place on servers.
Surely you jest? At least upload them on the channel.
Saori’s skill as an artist is truly something to marvel at.
At this point, it may be because they are expected to be: something of a career requirement.
Uh, no. Lots of Seiyuu grep up watching Anime, so of course some of them took up an interest in drawing at a young age… just like some of these.
I would contest this. Perhaps it is their interest in the work that leads to their job placement in most circumstances? As a voice actor, I could imagine that they would also have copious amounts of time to refine their craft.
If they wanna do it for fun that’s one thing, but for money? There’s way more money in voice action than being an Anime artist.
Why are they good at drawing Japanese cartoons? Because they’re so easy to do children regularly do it. The art is not exactly challenging, its simplistic and stylized.
Then you haven’t read/seen enough.
Marvel & DC, now THAT is amateur art.
perfect replie to a douche ameican!
you pretentious fucking douche bag asshole, you probably can’t even draw a circle
yes i can you fucking pussyhole i bet you don’t even know what a pussy looks like
Google Images.
Ermagerd pussy fuck fuck BOTH you fuckpussies who are totally don’t never knowed wha ta pussy taste like GURD!!!!!
