This is the main character of the fantasy manga “Loup Gal “ serialized by Kadokawa beginning in 1993. This was completed in 1994. It is the front cover illustration for the second individual volume. At that time, PC’s were still greatly expensive, and a portion of famous creators spent a great sum to experimentally try out computer graphics. Now, this is something that anyone in any part of the world can create. It’s wonderful! “Gal” is a fantasy that deals with slightly unique and mysterious themes, and even though we embodied this image, we thought about wanting to use CG. It was a hard struggle figuring out how to bring out that atmosphere using watercolors and colored inks. However, when we look at it now, we are thoroughly pleased with how it came out, being that it’s analog ^^. What she holds in her hand is the god of Bali, Garuda. We also went to Bali this year.
