[nenena]

Part three of Kosuke Fujishima's new Mini-Goddess strip, which is being published on the spine of montly issues of Afternoon. In case you missed any of the previous panels, you can find them all linked here.




Side Text: Little Risa from Across the Street
CAPTION: CONTINUED ON THE MARCH ISSUE!

Also, the third issue of Chara-Mel magazine, continuing the trend established by the previous two, features an illustration of an anime heroine drawn by Kosuke Fujishima. Here's Yoko:

Oh hey, Yoko. AKA The Reason that I Did Not Watch Gurren Lagann Until Somebody Forced Me To.

Hmm, Yoko looks a lot better than Fujishima's previous effort, but still not nearly as good as his amazing Saber portrait. Oh come, Fujishima, you can do better than this. Where's the crazy dynamic perspective that you like to use in your manga? Where's, I dunno, your knowledge of human anatomy? Yoko's legs look like perfectly cylindrical tree trunks! And why doesn't she have a stomach? You draw Belldandy with a nice stomach, so why not Yoko? Nice detail on the gun, though. I guess.

The sad thing is... In the same magazine, there's a painting of Yoko riding a motorcycle, by a different artist, that totally blows Fujishima's rendition of Yoko out of the water. And yet it's Fujishima's Yoko that gets featured on the cover of the magazine. Sigh.

You know, I'm both baffled and entranced the new Mini Goddess strips. They are kind of like modern art, where I can just spend a quarter of an hour staring increduously at a splurt of paint on otherwise emprty canvas and thinking that surely there must be more to this piece than what I'm seeing in it.

Then again, they are pretty cute strips. I wish they just weren't representative of Fujishima's recent plot/creative idea dry spell.

Anyway, thanks for your hard work in sharing the pictures. It's much appreciated even though I rarely comment.

Oh, hey, we haven't seen Risa in, like, what? Eighteen years?

This portrait isn't as nearly as badass as Saber. Que unfortunate.

Thanks for sharing~

Not as nice as Saber,but a huge step up from last time(Shana I think it was?). ANyway, I like the drawing and he opted to not draw Yoko's boobs twice the size of her head like in the show. Classy~!
