  Restrained by Phones

  This image was awarded as "excellent work" by the public at the Asian CG art contest, ASIAGRAPH 2012. Even though phones have become very convinient from beepers to mobile phones becoming widespread, an invisible "restraint" haunts in the background. I used an old rotary-dial phone and a wire-cup phone to express this sense of nostalgia.
  
  Actually, I started with the pose; I had a vertical picture all the way up to her face. But it was too ordinary, and I decided it wouldn't make such a good image at that point, so I daringly changed the composition. Among the images I have uploaded, there are ones that were created according to the original plan and ones that I've drawn as base material that I change the positioning and composition of later, enjoying tha randomness of the process.
  
  There are advantages and disadvantages to both kind, "Restrained by Phones" is a successful example of the latter. Whatever the production process may be like, all of them came from me, and even if I were to make a presentation, I don't really pay attention to it.
  
  It is an award-winner, as well as a representation of my latest work.

  In the Light

  This is the first image where I consciously used the principle of "not showing something." It's the origin of the Trim Girl series that follows later!
  
  So, despite being a somewhat old picture, I feels that I couldn't surpass it in some aspect. It is also the cover page of my first doujinshi.
  
  Even though it was my first one, I Photoshopped it a little (added some luster), and I thought, "It's tall....but so cool!" So I have a lot memories connected to this image.
  
  When I used it for the cover page, it had a line on the side for the title, but the colors died when I converted them from RGB to CMYK... So I learned that when I make a manga, I have to think about which color is easy to die during conversion.

  Color of First Contact

  This is an image I made for Pixiv Girls Collection 2011 "Drawing girl".
  Since it only said "Drawing girl," I thought most of the others would apply with something colorful, so tried to focus on the impact and reduce the number of colors.
  
  Was it a success? It had a whole page in the magazine!
  
  It makes me happy that one of my pictures was published in a commercial magazine.
  I'd like to keep feeling like this forever.
  
  This image is also one in the Black Cat series, since there are black cats in it. They are so easy to draw, and they suit my drawings, being black...there are other pictures uploaded from the Black Cat series, you can try to find them if you like.

  Nape

  Well, how should I put it, women's napes are just fascinating.
  
  No harm comes if it's seen publicly, the nape is one of the sexiest parts on a woman, or at least that’s my, Muboubou Aasaa's, humble opinion.
  
  The line from the nape through the neck to the back, I just can't take it.
  
  I wanted to show that charm to everyone, that's why I've drawn this picture. This is a part of the Trim Girl series.
  
  It was included in the 2011 calendar.
  
  Even in the series, it's one of my favorites, since I think I succeeded in transmitting straightly what I wanted to say.
  
  When my vision of what I want to express is clear, the creation process also goes smoothly. I enjoy drawing very much and that is when simple and good things are born. I always want to be like this, but it doesn't always work that way...

  bind2

  This picture was published in the original character contest of the OTACOOL magazine, a reader-participation publication which distributes otaku culture to the world, published by Kotobukiya, a company known for it's figures. I drew this with the theme of stylish and sharp binding. People usually associate the word "restraint" with ropes and chains, but I had the feeling that it would have an adult impression had I drawn it like that. Using wire I tried to make it give a sharp impression first. I wanted the thought "if i think about it, it's pretty erotic" to be only the second impression. I deliberately drew the girl and lines thinner and her limbs longer, making a balance like she was softly slipping away.
  
  I also added some characteristic geometry patterns to bring it closer to overseas street art and Art Noveau.
  
  Keeping Art Deco in mind, I also piled up images like "wings."
