cellar-fcp

cellar-fcp-01.jpg

fcp (or Cellar-fcp) is a talented Hong Kong based artist whose haunting illustrations rather skilfully combine traditional and contemporary Japanese styles, in a manner distinctly reminiscent of such greats as Hiroaki Samura.

Curiously, though perhaps fortuitously for those with a taste for erotic art, his works seem to keep returning to gritty depictions of prostitutes…

K-ONification

k-on-vs-lucky-star-haruhi-sora-no-woto.jpg

Previously it was noted that with the success of moe blob anime K-ON! even titles such as Haruhi were losing their characteristic style in favour of something approximating the evident marketability of Mio and company, but this trend seems to be intensifying, with the above comparison demonstrating the creeping K-ONification of two other titles…

Sexy Anime Stereograms

izumi-konata-by-ishikei-stereogram.png

Stereograms, optical illusions tricking the eyes into perceiving depth where there is none, are well known, but rather less known are the spectacular effects which can be achieved by converting anime-styled erotic artworks into stereograms, allowing the illusion of 3D curves where there are none, an effect admittedly poorly illustrated by Konata’s high status body above.

You can see some rather more curvaceous illustrations given similar treatement below. Needless to say, the images should be enlarged to full size to get the proper effect:
