Russian artist Karanak has recently been developing a reputation for his outstandingly sexy illustrations of scantily clad young ladies, and they certainly make for interesting viewing.
Maintaining the connection between beautiful girls and giant robots also seem to be a priority for him – like Masamune Shirow he maintains an impressive sideline in mecha (or possibly it is bishoujo which are the sideline…), although for some reason amongst admirers these inspire less excitement than his scantily clad bishoujo.
Karanak would also make for an impressive artist progress chart – his works show very significant improvement over recent years, and have happily managed to avoid becoming too much like those of his favourite artist Tony, although the similarities remain very strong.
Those looking to further follow his artistic activities can do so via his DeviantArt profile, or on his tag.
I know this guy… he’s on deviantart.com
I see alot of similarities from Tony, Shunya Yamashita and a bit of Kim Hyung Tae.
Though I see more similarities with Shunya, than Tony…
If you don’s know who Shunya is, he’s very similar to Tony (Girls/Swords/Pantsu)… I’m sure Sancom has a gallery for him.
Who else thinks that it also looks like Shunya’s work?
I am Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō and I approve of this gallery.
ZA RODINU!
Too bad He deleted his post about “Being better than Tony Taka in every possible way”, lol.
Still copy-pasta
Which is true, by the way. Tony is a one-dimension manga artist. This guy’s the real deal, and he hasn’t even reached pro status yet.
