Art Book: Ten Colors ~Juu Nin To Iro~ Illustrations
MOEOH Selection's Ten Colors ~ Juu Nin To Iro ~ finally came out last week, after weeks of hearing and talking about it. And if you're at all familiar with the Dengeki MOEOH magazine, you'll know that means art work from the 10 artists featured each month for the past two years: Satoshi Kiba, Aoi Kimizuka, Koharu Sakura, Tinkle, Mamoru Naruse, Yu Narumi, Matsuryu, Suigun Murakami, Morinaga Korune, and Mitha. The opening illustration is by Koharu Sakura.
On the cover art, you can see each of the artists' new illustrations for the book that follow the theme of "girls in love."
Each artist has a total of 11 illustrations; 10 that were published from 2008 to 2010 in Dengeki MOEOH magazine, and one new illustration made exclusively for the book. The first artist that appears in the book is Satoshi Kiba.
Aoi Kimizuka comes next, with her template collection of girls. I'm not a fan of this artist; I dislike the way she draws eyes, clothing, poses... everything really. No, that's not true. I like the coloring.
Sakura Koharu is one of those artists I follow in that, if she's part of a random collaboration of artists (or a light novel I can't read), I'll buy it just for her art work.
Always the crowd pleaser, Tinkle has the next 11 illustrations with beautiful doll-styled girls who have more hair than body mass.
I think Narumi Yu's style really fluctuated during the time she did the Ten Colors art works for the magazine. I liked her illustrations at the beginning and the end, but the middle was a bit shaky.
Murakami Suigun illustrating on the "striped panties" theme. That's right, you're guaranteed at least 10 "striped panties" illustrations :D
Another master of lace and ruffles, Morinaga Korune manages to keep on theme without ever sacrificing her signature style. It's especially amusing when it comes down to the "Swimwear Girls" theme from the Dengeki MOEOH August 2008 issue, and the girl still has a ruffled little top on over her bathing suit.
The final artist is Mitha, finishing the collection with her colorful selection of girls. If you haven't already noticed, each of the illustrations has an overall theme that was featured in each magazine issue.
Girls in flowers, girls with knee socks, girls in swimwear, girls in lingerie, girls in ribbons; all of these were themes in past issues of Dengeki MOEOH. As you can see, Ten Colors ~ Juu Nin To Iro ~ really has something for everyone! Check out my website for a longer review with more pictures to help you make up your mind!
