Mix of styles again.

Fal Maro (ファルまろ)

This style feels a bit like a painting-style version of Nilitsu‘s artworks. Fal Maro’s works used to be more on the “classic” side (cf. pictures 4 & 5), with a common way of coloring characters and stuff. However, he recently changed his style to a more “painted” approach, and the results are as you see (cf. pictures 1, 2 & 3). He clearly has progressed a lot since he first started on Pixiv, and the actual pictures are quite good stuff!



Lots of Touhou artworks with this one, though I’m not really surprised about that. Fal Maro’s current artworks can easily recognized by the characters’ head shape, slightly more “oval” that your classic drawing. There also is a noticeable “crisp/noise” effect on the pictures, which is quite an unusual addition… but why not.

Don’t ask me how you pronounce this.

Re:N Ne (Re:N根)

Featured multiple times on PotDs, Renkon’s (let’s call him like that) style does not shine by its originality but rather by its end result. This kind of style has been widely featured before (with similar artists like Mikazuki Sara, for example).
What I like with Renkon is his subtle usage of glows here and there on his artworks, which gives a really nice plus to the render (Pic 2 being the best example). They’re not always easy to spot, but they’re often present.

Aside from that, coloring is good, backgrounds are mid-complex but not neglected, characters are well drawn but can be very slightly out of proportions from time to time (legs especially).
Given how young this artist is (student, 21 y/o), this is pretty awesome already. He’ll probably do some great stuff in a few more years!

Presenting another John Doe.

Sanntouhei (三等兵)

Another artist that I’ve never featured on the blog yet. As you can guess by the different artworks displayed here, Sanntouhei is a big fan of the Touhou universe (oh, what a surprise again!).
You can easily recognize his/her artworks by the shape of the face (quite large), the way the skin is colored (especially the face) and the color palette used (recurring colors in every artwork).


I find Sanntouhei’s style to be quite original despite the theme he chose to work on, mainly because of his/her peculiar way of drawing characters. The colors produce great results despite being always the same ones, and while there are artists with a much higher level of detail on artworks out there, Sanntouhei definitely isn’t far behind.
Last but not least, artworks are published in high res and in PNG : What more can you ask for?

おいしい !

Takoyaki (タコ焼き)

Very old Pixiv member, Takoyaki is another one of my favorites. He’s another one of these artists with a light painting style, but this one’s rather discreet compared to other artists with a similar style.

I like Takoyaki because he has good tastes with characters’ poses, does very well with body proportions, and has an interesting choice of colors and a lighting effects on pictures. The results are warm and cute pictures, overall quite enjoyable.



His Pixiv profile is rather poor, but don’t get fooled : He has published numerous artbooks under his circle’s name, “Kogemashita” (about 17 I think).
Overall, a rather delicious artist, just as his name suggests!

A “common” but forever nice style.

Yuu Kichi (ゆうきち)

I’ve never featured Yuu Kichi on a PotD yet, though I have used one of his/her artworks before (if you’re bored, try to find which one ).
Yuu Kichi feels like a mix between Shiranori and Mirusa, with a lot of dull/cold colors as well as this peculiar drawing style, but more “gouache” oriented (slightly).
You’ll notice that Yuu Kichi is quite fond of nightly pictures, with stars and moons here and there. Flowers are also found in many of his/her works.
The artist published quite an amount of pictures, so you’ll have plenty of material to enjoy if you visit his/her Pixiv profile.
The resolution could’ve been a bit bigger though: Quite of a waste with that kind of skill. I had quite a hard time picking only 5 pictures for this artist, really.

Guess what, painting style.

Mikebosi (mikebosi)

Mikebosi is a rather discreet Pixiv artist. Truth is, he/she doesn’t make a lot of Pixiv publications, so this explains that. Still, Regulars might remember a recent PotD that featured this artist !
While I like what he/she does, I think Mikeboshi doesn’t make full use of his/her potential : Artworks look a bit “unfinished” on some parts, and would’ve been much better with a little more effort. For example, some strong lines remain in some places while all the rest blends very well with the background.


I feel like the artist draws & colors “on a whim” rather than focusing too intensively on an artwork each time.
Well, Mikebosi is still a student (20-year-old) so he/she probably has other preoccupations. If you’ve followed other JA posts featuring painting styles, you’ll probably agree that this one has nothing too “special” about it (but it’s still very good!). I find characters quite fashionable, with stylish gothic dresses and stuff. Imo, Mikebosi is an artist with a lot of latent potential, and I can’t wait to see what he/she will bring us with some more practice.

Back to the classics.

Amemura (飴村)

Also known as Caramelo, Amemura has been featured in several PotD in the very early days of Neregate (for some of you who still remember). There’s a strong presence of Nature in his works, so you’re likely to see trees, plants, and vast skies most of the time. The style is a light-painting one again. You’ll also notice that characters are often the only thing drawn using strong black lines and thick contours. This makes them stand out from the background, while remaining discreet and blended with the whole picture. Overall result is quite pleasant, and gives a nice “peaceful” impression.
